SneakySpinarak Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 do strange shields count melee kills while charging+shield bashes or just shield bashes? I'm gonna invest in that strange splendid screen either way just can't seem to find a straight answer on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 To my knowledge, it is just the shield bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 It used to be just the shield bash, but now it counts all kills made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, technically Strange weapons, count stats made with the item, so it should be only kills by charging into someone´s face. In strange items, only exceptions are wrenches of all kind (counts sentry kills, by tracking stats of objects assigned to a player), Cosmetics (counting stats while worn), and mediguns (counting übers as well as assists recieved by your patient getting a kill while healed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 As I said, that's how it used to be. But when the Tough Break update dropped, it was changed to start counting kills made with primary and melee weapons as well as shield bashes.

FP jh34ghu43gu Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 As a strange shield owner I can confirm it counts all kills, no way my shield has 2,300 kills from just shield bashing. Killstreaks are another matter. Kills you get from the shield bash do add to your killstreak but not kills from any other weapon, however if you have a pro ks shield and only spec/normal ks melee/primary then you will always have the shield eye effect active (after you get more than 5 kills ofc). From my experience you get priority eye effect from your active weapon so if all your demo weapons have a pro ks getting it on the shield is useless and only acts as a spec kit. Iirc your weapon sheen doesn't change the shield's eye color either (holding a green pill launcher with a purple tornado shield does not make the tornado effect turn green).

a1ex Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I think it only counts all kills with certain shields. I have maybe 150 on my eyelander but only 15 on my charge n' targe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a few months since I sold both mine and went with collector's... but to the best of my memory that's the way it is now. don't believe it's in the patch notes tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
