Last month, Valve launched a promotional contest for the game Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris. The studio asked their community creators to submit TF2 items related to the Tomb Raider series. In that post (opens in new tab), they wrote the following sentence:
If you've been waiting for your chance to put the heavy in short shorts, this is it. (Please don't do this.)
There was only one possible outcome.
"You might remember we specifically told you not to make Heavy short shorts," wrote the TF2 team (opens in new tab) last night. "However, once we actually glimpsed the majesty of Heavy short shorts, we saw the error of our ways."
In addition to the Jungle Booty (opens in new tab), other winning items include the Crown of the Old Kingdom (opens in new tab) hat and the Tomb Readers (opens in new tab) sunglasses. All items are now available to those who pre-order Temple of Osiris, and will eventually make their way to the MannCo store along with an additional three runner-up items.
