I still only half-believe it, but it seems that Jarate is real. For the uninitiated, that means that the TF2 Sniper is going to be able to throw jars of his own piss at other players. Enemies will take 35% more damage for a period of time, and applied to the Spy, the golden shower will short-out his cloaking device. Allies will actually benefit from the dousing: if you're on fire, the specimen will extinguish the flames. I shit you not.
We all thought the initial reveal of the unlock was an April Fool's joke, but apparently, the joke was on us for thinking it was a joke. We first got a glimpse of the secretion grenade in the "Meet the Sniper" video, but no one expected that subtle bit of humor would actually be weaponized. Well, it was, and I'm torn between thinking it's distressingly sophomoric, finding it funny nevertheless, and imagining how useful it will certainly be.
Because I haven't before, I should mention that the Day 6 reveal was a replacement for the Spy's revolver: a new, more powerful (and slower) revolver dubbed "The Ambassador." Am I the only one that noticed that the gun's barrel is way too large for the round it fires?

Probably not.
