Double Down

The Double Down update, also known as 2.2.0, was the third major update for Team Fortress 2 Classic, released on January 24th, 2025. This was the latest major update since the Fight or Flight update in 2023.

Business is a minefield. Not that Orson Jenkins would know (although you could have your legs blown off by anti-tank ordnance and still be a good deal taller than he is). He's spent years dodging bullets, juking knives poised over his back, and hiding in the back of his limousine crying, but while his person has been endangered, his company has never been under threat. Until today — by dint of another roly-poly moneyman, vying for the coal king's throne.

Trivia

On the Day 3 page of the update, the name of the new Soldier weapon was misspelt as Admirality Anchor. In the patch notes released on Day 4, it was spelt correctly as Admiralty Anchor.
