So i figured it out after a bit of fiddling around. it's something to do with models being at max detail. Some taunts still show facial animations at lower settings. it seems that at max model detail, the animations load for this taunt

In game, it does display facial animations unless there's a bug

anyone else having issues with it not displaying facial features

honestly its a nice taunt and i understand why its in the game

cool taunt

Спасибо, кончил!

These are non-taunting taunts and yet they're created by Valve
What's the problem?
I think this taunt is perfect for you complainants here lol

"Blame developers for adding stuff into game, not creator"
"If you don't like something, just don't vote for it"

i dont have it but

i like it

I like when you combine kill binds with this taunt, is funny :)

This is genuinely one of the worst taunts added this update, and the only reason it's not THE worst is because Pyro's one was somehow even poorer.

when you just wiped your ass and have to shit again

pause and scan the bottom part of the screen for the vote-menu icon

where can I vote to remove this?

nice

with prior knowledge they usually do forward a good one or two updates after the summer update, given it goes mentioned on the TF reports github I'd say they'll touch up on it.
I'll just make a minor mention of it there so it doesn't go unnoticed hopefully.
congrats on the taunt getting in the game.

Now that it's been added to the game, fixes and changes are up to valve i'm pretty sure.

For example, the mouths are a bug that happened with mourning mercs as well and will eventually be patched.

With the standing idly at the end of the taunt. They must've entered the wrong values for the length of the taunt, which is why the characters seem to just stand around doing nothing some time. Surely it'll be fixed (surely)

problem with the taunt and I feel you should address it; if possible forward a quick fix to valve. the end of the animation for every class lingers idly with their standing stock weapon animation for far too long (14 frames for demoman, frame 130 to 144 just holding a non existent stock weapon in the air and you could probably end the animation as early as frame 120 or 130 since the animation would blend back into whatever designated weapon you're currently using).
for reference the stock taunts (for demoman) don't use any sort of default idle animation at the end (setting aside the ullapool caber but is incredibly brief).

congrats bro

Engie, demo and medic are real nice, but some are just a bit too samey and lack much of the class's personality

make the mouth move then it prefect

I NEED THIS

We did it, reddit! We have got our le wholesome emote into the game!!!

Congrats on getting this taunt into TF2, Steaky! I am considering getting it at some point in the future, along with your other taunt, the Mourning Mercs for my All-Class emotional taunt wheel. Keep on creating; May the Sona Rookie's everlasting Force be with you.

Cope lol

congratulations workslopper, your emote slipped through quality control into the game. i think that there are pretty no "emote" left, therefore, hopefully, we won't hear from you again

Scout be like: "CHEESE!"

si

I like the taunt but hope the icon gets updated to be more visually-in-line with the other taunt icons

All class taunt moment

this emote sucks

We're really collecting emotion taunts like they're infinity stones huh? Anyways congrats

I was added, congrats!

taunt, that taunts.
Good

Roblox ahh emote

At this point we are getting a taunt for every emotion

this is overlyanimated, jesus christ.

No thanks/not interested

Shorten your taunts and this will be fine

waiter! waiter! more fortnire emotes please

as an engineer main who constantly get his metal stole and ppl hogging my TP so i cant save my sapped sentries on the front line in time, i feel like id be using this a lot.

I want this taunt to be in TF2 specifically because of the Engineer's. I MUST HAVE IT.
