This title goes out to all you fans of VNV Nation. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.
But back to the subject at hand. The first new items have been revealed in the latest update for Team Fortress 2 and it seems that the Demoman, though behind in score, will be getting a helping hand in this war. Announced Monday were the first two items for the cyclops, the Eyelander and the Chargin’ Targe.
But to learn more, you’ll have to skip past the jump!
The Eyelander, as described in the comic, is a haunted sword that saps some of your max health from the get-go. However, the sword thrives on decapitating its poor victims, and with every severing, boosts your max health and speed.
The Targe, on the other hand, is a shield that not only provides damage resistance, but also allows you to charge towards enemies, dealing more damage the farther you sprint. But it doesn’t end there! If you deal a blow with your sword during a charge, you’ll get a critical hit – from the lowly mini-crit from a medium distance to a full-on crit from a long distance.
No word yet on what will be the third and final item, if any. Perhaps the weapon that comes at the end will take the third spot, leaving the losing class with only two updated weapons. We’ll just have to wait and see!

Nah, VALVe has said that each of the two classes get three updates, and the winning class gets a MYSTERY FOURTH WEAPON.
There’s also new maps, achievements and a possible Meet the Team video coming out of this yet!
