A required update for Team Fortress 2 is now available. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive. The specific changes include:

Game Changes:
- Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features.
- Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned
- Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements
- Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported
- Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch
- Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing

Fixes:
- Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable
- Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients
- Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server

- Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned

Also, be cautious that the "Reset stats" button, although placed just below the "Your best moments", will reset all stats. My playtime on each character, poof!

(..) Isn't unlocks great?

No!
Unlocks tied to achievements is pure crap.

I totally agree

The addition of all these potential loadout items may explain why Valve just added an option to permanently delete an unlocked weapon (or item) from one's inventory in the latest update. The developer may be limiting the number of weapons and items a player can carry in his "backpack."

I can't understand why anyone would want to perminently destroy their unlockable weapons... ?

They're real, the console commands were in a different thread. I used them myself.

You need SV_Cheats 1 to use them.

"test_itempickuppanel"
client cheat
- Debugging tool to test the item pickup panel. Usage: test_itempickuppanel
<weapon name>
<weapon id>: 0 = primary, 1 = secondary, 2 = melee.

"test_itemdiscardpanel"
client cheat
- Debugging tool to test the item discard panel. Usage:
test_itemdiscardpanel <weapon name>
<weapon id>: 0 = primary, 1 = secondary, 2 = melee.

"test_giveawayitem"
client cheat
- Debugging tool to test the item giveaway panel. Usage: test_giveawayitem
<weapon name>
<weapon id>: 0 = primary, 1 = secondary, 2 = melee.

I'm confused. Why can you never get your items back and who would delete them...?

The developer may be limiting the number of weapons and items a player can carry in his "backpack."

Zomg last thing this game needs is upgrading your weapons... Me dont want world of team fortress
