The Big Mean Mother Hubbard was an experimental, likely primary[1], weapon for the Engineer that was being play-tested by Valve. The existence of this weapon was first discovered in the form of filename strings found in the cp_degrootkeep.lst file that was added to the game in the December 17, 2010 Patch;
"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard.vmt" "tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard.vtf" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.ani" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.dx80.vtx" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.dx90.vtx "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.jpg" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.mdl" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.phy" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.sw.vtx" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_big_mean_mother_hubbard\c_big_mean.vvd"
A possible weapon id string (TF_WEAPON_DISPENSER_GUN) indicates that this weapon was meant for the Engineer Update.[2]
Update history
- [Undocumented] Added the
cp_degrootkeep.lstfile which contained staging build content filenames.
Trivia
- A design for an official release was submitted to the Polycount Pack contest but remains unused by Valve.

- ↑ Original Polycount submission poster suggests giving ammo when hitting an ally, similar to Dispensers dispensing ammo.
