Speed Pad

The Speed Pad is a scrapped Engineer building that would supposed to grant temporary speed boost effect[1] to any teammate player who touched it. This building would be cheaper than standard Teleporter at 25 metal[2] and would also be influenced by Teleporter build modifiers, such as the Eureka Effect[3]. It costs 100 metal to upgrade[4]. Upgrade level would affect recharge time[5] and effect duration[6]:

Buiding level Recharge time Effect duration
1 1.67 4
2 1.33 5
3 1 6

This building was referenced in a modification to the tf/scripts/game_sounds_weapons.txt file in the December 8, 2014 Patch. The following code was added to the file:

  "wave"      ")weapons/speed_pad.wav"
