Can you still get items from offline practice?
For those of you who don't know, there was an update on July 17 that added a bunch of conditions for obtaining weapons to counter idleing. *Title*

No, not after the update.

Sorry, Bru. The new rules is made so you have to be on an Online server with real people (including bots together with the humans, since you still play with humans).

That is special, cuz they said in the new rules that you wouldn't get any drops Offline...

I thought I saw it... But the clock was 00:34 and I had had a rash day. You guys may be right. ^^

The requirements are:
"Is connected to a VAC secured server.
Is responding to in-game drop notifications while not utilizing external programs to do so.
Is running only one instance of the game.
Is not in textmode."
So as long as your offline server is VAC secured (I think they are by default), you aren't in textmode, and you are actively responding to the notifications, then you should be fine.

My Offline servers are not VAC'ed. :0 I cheat all the time "fer the lulz", like tf_damage_multiplier set to 10000, and everyone dies in one shot. Hilarious. xD

Still, I didn't knew they were VAC-secured...

Please don't report me. ;_;

The eye lander and kritkrieg are both achieve items I think which I'm pretty. Sure are possible to get offline

You can get them as regular drops, however, and it seems these people are claiming they were regular drops.

Wrong. It has to be:

No
-textmode
VAC secured
You must accept the drop.
