{{Quotation|'''Brick''' [https://tf2classic.com/fight_or_flight/supplycrate promotional blurb]|When guns and swords were out of reach, throwing heavy objects was part and parcel for history's little guys. A brick lying in the debris of a broken store window is a noble stand against faceless corporate evil. Carry the Brick with pride, Scout, because even though you're a hired thug fighting on the side of faceless corporate evil, you're still just a little guy.}}

* Using a resupply cabinet soon after throwing the Brick causes the viewmodel to disappear until the Brick is thrown, or the user switches weapons.

* The Brick was revealed several days early in promotional art for [[L'escampette]], where the Brick's kill icon can be seen on a barrel.
