Meet the Coconut

[Radioactive Grass]

So in TF2's files there is just a picture of a highly detailed coconut. It's not an unused model or anything, its literally just a picture of a coconut.

The file is named "coconut.jpg" but beware, if you remove or delete this file you will not be able to start TF2. So far nobody knows why it's there but it was probably something important that got buried in TF2's spaghetti code.

Update: There is now a news article about the Coconut now everyone can read about the hero holding this game together.

Probably a reference picture for likely making something coconut related in jungle inferno. No coconut model is present, though, so it's still a mystery.

Perhaps, but I still find it weird that you cant start TF2 if you remove it.

Are you sure about that one? I can only find references to coconuts in vtf files

[Monwil]

Where in the .vpk files is it located? I want to stare at it.
