Valve released on the night to Friday an update as usual: with bugfixes and new items. The new iitems are the Conquistador for the soldier, which came directly out of the Steam Workshop; and the  Map Maker's Medallion, that we discussed already in our  last Updatenews. Above all, there are once again new promo items for preorders for  Jagged Alliance - Back in Action:  Bushman's Boonie, Battle Bob and Merc Medal.

  • Battle Bob

    

    Simple and elegant, this slimming hair helmet will bring out the natural contours of your fearsome war face.

  • Conquistador

    

    Make Spanish history come alive with this authentic conquistador's helmet, excavated from the actual grave of a sixteenth century French cosplayer.

  • Bushman's Boonie

    

    Everybody knows that the head part of your body needs twice as much camouflage as all the other parts. Ask anyone in the army and they’ll kill you and hide the body, because that widely-known information is CLASSIFIED.

  • Merc Medal

    

    There exists an agency so secret that only three people on the planet even know of its existence. This is the medal they give each other when one of them does a great job.

  • Map Maker's Medaillion

    

Beside that, a new crate has been added as well(although not documented), Crate #38. It contains 2 new hats and the following weapons in Strange Quality: Quick Fix, Dead Ringer, Killing Gloves of Boxing and SMG.

Nonetheless, Valve did whole lot of bugfixing, too. Among others, they solved minor problems on the map cp_Foundry. Besides smaller texture errors and  nobuild exploits(Engineers can build on places where it should not be possible), the bug that players could capture the final CP while standing outside the cap area on the catwalk behind it.

Further fixes concern some items. All colours should work properly now with Max's Severed Hat. Crashes while hitting fixed objects with the Holiday Punch should be a thing of the past. Eventually, the Itsy Bitsy Spyer is now available for the Sniper as well.

Here the full changelog:

It seems that nobody knows yet anything about the "DamagedPlayer" animation for the HUD. I could not find anything suspicious during a small round in TF2. We will definitely inform you as fast as possible.
