Reports indicate that Team Fortress 2 has set a new record for the highest number of simultaneous online players. On June 25, according to SteamDB, the game saw over 151,000 players online at once. This achievement marks a significant milestone for a game that was released on October 10, 2007.
The surge in players is attributed to the Midsummer Mashup, a charity event for the game running from June 26th to 27th. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Stop AAPI Hate, an organization dedicated to combating hate and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Unfortunately, some of the players are bots. Valve and the community have been working to combat them for a long time. The most recent update, released a few days ago, was focused on addressing the bot issue. Players have observed a significant reduction in their numbers due to these efforts, but it seems this is just a battle won, not the end of the war.
How to use skins
You must have a Steam account and link it to a store account. The skins you purchased will automatically be added to your Team Fortress 2 inventory. As soon as this happens, you can use them in the game, customizing your characters.
Use skins to paint your characters' equipment, give them a unique look and diversify the gameplay. You can change the texture of weapons, accessories, skins, tools and taunts. Only your imagination determines how unique your characters will look, what weapons he will use in battle, and how he will stand out among your teammates and opponents.
