should replace the model for the red tape recorder

this is a very good weapon

Feels like there's room for some very interesting mechanics with an item like this... say if it played the sounds of general combat shortly after being placed to act as a distraction?

Yeah ! Please Valve... You can do it! Never become Lazy Again! Community Never See you face again!

yes pls.... pls valve. we need a sapper other than the HORRIBLE red tape recorder

if the red tape was good this could be a good reskin

nice

Could make a cool reskin for stock or Red Tape.

its cool

the music that it plays should be sapping a river
Look it up it's great

valve workshop be like: things from 2012

i love that sapper

cool

valve should add this

I think the greatest stats for it would be, as you spointed in the poster, stunning the Engies, say for 3 seconds, but it deals 25% less damage, so it will have to be there for a longer period of time. What do you think?

it better play loud dubstep

I know my buildings would kill themselves if that happens

this is cool ive seen it on karma chargers youtube channel and i thought it was great add this valve

+Sapping makes building no longer give signals of health or being sapped to engineer
-Sapper does no damage
-Spy does no damage to sentry if its sapped

This makes it really powerful if combined with a team member but useless if a spy doesn't coordinate with his team.

VALVe, If you add this, PLEASE don't make it a Red Tape Recorder Reskin. Cheers.

Since it has four options for 'track', placing the sapper on a building initially could put it into a sort of 'cognito' mode, wherin it is invisible (only you can see the wireframe), and it adds the building to your hud, sort of like the engineer's hud, but it would track how many players are near the building instead, more like a cart or control point. Alt fire could then activate your placed sappers from a distance, meaning you could sap a building from safety, and know wether or not an engie is near said building.

I was thinking as a downside, inspired the the barrage of comments asking for music, which makes a lot of sense considering it is a tape player, the unit in hand could play one of the spy's songs really loudly while sapping, and would cause him to be more vulnerable for damage, giving away his location and making him a quick and easy kill.

It should play music while sapping stuff or in hand.

Nostalgia. I remember tape recorders, never had a walkman during my school days but bought one when I was in college.

It should totally play terribly generic jingly elevator music, the kind that drives people insane.

1. It should play music while it's sapping (Which would be awesome for custom songs).

2. Needs more fire, This mixtape is too chill.

PLS put this for spy cus how many sap ar there for spy 2 i think so PLS add his

i want it

It can play a music when sap a building

maybe you need to use the original sapper..

When I sap a building, I can't see it. It's still the original Red-Tape Recorder.

I can't seem to get the replacement for the stock Sapper to show on my player. When I view my loadout, it shows as an item, but not on the actual view model (the Spy when holding the Sapper in the loadout menu). Any suggestions?

IDEA:When Sapping Team Fortress Radio Style Song

i hope it plays music while sapping

ok thanks i think thats a NEW item:)

guys...
İM AFRAİD NOT,but yeah,what the crap is this?!Are he isnt got any speacial ability?A disaster...

While holding mouse 1 on a sapped building saps 2x as fast - 50% sapping power

how about for the stats
+ saps all buildings in a certian radius.
+ 10% weapon switch speed
- 200% recharge time
- 25 health points

How about:
+All buildings in range will be sapped
Plays music while active

How about these stats

+To enemy players (except engineers) the sentry does not appear to be sapped or being sapped.

+20% damage done to level 1-2 buildings

-20% damage to Level 3 buildings
-Shows a Beacon (like the one in the video) when being sapped.

+grants sapping speed bonus to other sappers in range (stackable)
-20% slower weapon switch speed

+ will sap all buildings near the radar
- will not sap both sides of the teleporter

+Destroy's enemie's sound cards
-Damages your rear drums.

-40% damage
+after building (sentries only) health reaches 0, turns into a friendly min sentry, mini sentry dies after 10 seconds.
- sometimes the mini sentry turns into an enemy one

I think this should be stats: Level 20 Sapper Can turn dispensers and teleporters into friendly buildings -Doesn't make sentries friendly instead just destroys them

Stat suggestion:
- Makes a louder noise
+ Doesn't tell engineer

this would be a great new item for Team Fortress 2.
I hope Valve adds this soon

Here's an idea! For every building sapped and destroyed it saps the next one faster! I don't know what the downside would be though.

Engineer hate that,more than "NEED A DISPENSER HERE"

STAT SUGGESTION: turns sentry to your team AND makes it a mini sentry
