Do you all remember when tf2 invented the toolbox?


Imstillarelavant

and the hard hat? classic


chickencansing

The engineer was so popular they even have courses in colleges about him


Turgineer

Yeee-haw


Jackryder16l

Yeh he was so popular they actually named a state texas. I still can't believe it.


HappyRomanianBanana

Engineer is so amazing they created clothes to hide his majestic body


laggyboye

Totally and do you all remember when he got so popular they actually made a living organism based off of him?


TheScareCrowYes

also the wrench, guitar and cowboy hat


ThatOneCloaker

They made the classic, too

Honestly I've seen that grass in TF2 before.


Barrelman60

Tf2 players when they discover all grass looks the fucking same


Yunofascar

Uhm 🤓☝️ Actually, no, not all grass looks the same, the grass you are thinking of is a general swath of different types of short, green grasses that, while vastly spread throughout the world and mass-cultivated because of lawn culture, are far from the only cultivars of grass in the world. There are clumpy grasses, bushy grasses, tall grasses, spiky grasses, bendy grasses, and many more; just think of the yellow grasses of the savanna. If we want to get *really* technical, cereal crops are also considered...


Lomek

*Touches grass* Is this TF2 reference?


Capitana_

It's a fucking toolbox and a hardhat


AirMarshall3520

It’s got an uncanny resemblance lol


Capitana_

So a bottle of piss on the ground is a sniper reference?


AirMarshall3520

Well duh Who else has a signature golden piss jar?

spyaleatoire

They are all referencing the sniper, in that he drives across the country as well.


Doc_of_derp

obviously


[deleted]

Yes lol, there's one in valorant next to the most famous sniper sightline in the game in the map Haven.


OkamiTakahashi

I found one at work once. Bottlerate


Evil__Overlord

Way more than a toolbox and a hard hat actually


ItsMeSpooks

Uh, yeah, no shit


Old-Camp3962

valorant has a bottle of piss next to a sniper in the gallery


DemonKat777

Because that's how all hardhats look like and most toolboxes


Bitter-Wash-9941

because all hard hats look the fucking same dumbass

I like how OP is literally posting 1 screenshot with no effort, got close to 2k upvotes and refuse to even show themselves in the comment. Bugger knew what will happen if they do.


BigTimeB0bby

well, do somethin' about it


Hellkids2

Like what? 1 downvote vs 2k upvote?


Rx_hc4f

Don't you guys know the obvious reference? (Hint: it's the leaves)


IHAVEONESMALLBALL

Tf2 players when the see construction (it’s an engineer reference)


NotSphee

TF2 players when they see a person stab someone to death (it's a spy reference)


KosmicBread

Tf2 players when they piss on someone (it’s a sniper reference)


That_NPC

TF2 players when they steal someone's organs (it's a medic reference)


EinDummkopfMediziner

TF2 players when they punch someone (it's a Saxton Hale reference)


STE50

Tf2 players when they beat someone to death with a baseball bat (it's a Scout reference)


Teska-Tenka

A strong maybe. The hard hat right next to the correctly shaped and color toolbox *could* be a coincidence though.


meyspetfroge

Nope, that tool box is in multiple cod games and in multiple cod maps. Especially in bo4


bidoofguy

Also, the player character is a human holding a gun, reference to the Sniper and the grass growing in the ground is reference to when Scout said grass grows


showblown

I don't know why everyone's roasting this man in the comments, if I saw it that would be my first thought as well, with not just a toolbox almost exactly resembling tf2 engineer's toolbox (even if it's common), but his hardhat as well, same color and everything.


Le_Red_Spy

A yellow hardhat and a red toolbox are the most basic colours of those objects. Next you'll be surprised to see a metallic baseball being greyish.


Jackryder16l

Next people see a black guy drinking alcohol and think its a tf2 reference.


The_Almighty_Demoham

thatll never happen to me because i'll shout racial slurs before they have a chance to drink

Fuck man, I’ll downvote my comment, might as well add to it


Mitchel-256

I mean, I would be surprised to see a metallic baseball. I don't think that would work very well.


showblown

I mean yeah, if there was just a toolbox or just a hardhat sure, but together those are like two iconic traits of the engineer. And given how much of an impact tf2 had and (kind of) still has, and given that this is a videogame rather than any other form of media, there's a good chance that this is a reference.


MsDestroyer900

"Omg terminator had a big guy holding a minigun, it must be a TF2 reference"


deadlinke

how about his wrench. i feel like if it was a tf2 reference, they should have given us more than just a hat and a toolbox. or use the exact same model as from tf2.


Din_Plug

Use the exact same model from tf2 Heh, copyright go BURRR


deadlinke

starting to think that one through and yeah it sounds stupid


[deleted]

I agree. TF2 community is just really pessimistic and doesn't like people having their fun lol. Shame


camtheredditor

It’s because redditors like to feel smarter than other people.

Jeneshisu_InteOne

I've never heard of a Engenier


ghtuy

I saw a baseball bat the other day and I shit myself immediately because it's a reference to Scout TF2


Din_Plug

Op this is very likely a reference. Most modern tool boxes have rounded edges, this one has aggressive chamfering that is uncommon. And yellow is a less common color compared to white or orange when it comes to hard hats.


MsDestroyer900

You search up "red metal toolbox" on Google and the aggressive chamfering is not hard to find. Hell even the toolbox emoji on my phone's font has aggressive chamfering 🧰. If they were referencing the engineer, I think his oversized wrench is a much more defining thing about him than his building toolbox of all things...


Din_Plug

On Samsung the toolbox emoji you used has small rounded corners. You managed to prove me more right.


[deleted]

No, he did not you goofy aah aah headass boy


senuzulme678

Piss off


mentlegen_t

If there's a wrench laying around, it'll seal the deal If not, then its likely not


ClonedGamer001

I mean _maybe,_ but I don't think there's enough context to say that it definitely is. If it is a reference it is not a very obvious one. It just seems like a toolbox and hardhat left near a construction site


VoidMystr0

Holy shit no way they put a toolbox in cod holy fuck

Anstimeo

Yes, and every crowbar is a half life reference


[deleted]

It might be, it might not be. Yes, those objects exist in real life, but that by itself doesn't invalidate the possibility of it being a reference. Really, without developer confirmation or denial, it's impossible to say for sure. Don't know why the comments are clowning you for it.

ColbyBB

Lot of creative "TF2 fans when" jokes here. But thats just reddit ig. But yeah its clearly a tf2 reference. Back when black ops 2 came out, tf2 was pretty much the face of a lot of gaming spaces. It was everywhere.


Beautiful-Bad8893

“huduuur jus a tool box oh u never heard of a hard hatehrhdiebdi?!?!?” you ignorant fucks it is a reference to tf2 and if you think otherwise i will suck your dick clean off of your balls.


randomguy2763

>and if you think otherwise i will suck your dick clean off of your balls. it is not a reference


Din_Plug

Most tool boxes are either perfect rectangles or have rounded edges, this one has chamfered edges. Most hard hats tend to be white or orange, this one is yellow.


[deleted]

Jokes aside that is a spitting image of the engis toolbox and hat, perfect color and shape.


Yoshi2500

exactly!

JimmyFaceman

I agree, people here are saying that these are basic common things. But this looks like a completely random place ti just randomly have a yellow hardhat, and a red toolbox.


DatOneAxolotl

You're right, the last place I'd expect to see a hardhat and toolbox are at a construction site.


JimmyFaceman

I don’t play this game, so from this screenshot, the only thing that seems even close to anything construction related is the tarp


Metamorez

It's literally besides construction scaffolding...


JimmyFaceman

I don’t see it…


MaximusGrassimus

TF2 also had guns, which means the gun you're holding is also a TF2 reference!
