The '''Fight or Flight''' update, also known as '''2.1.0''', was the second major update for Team Fortress 2 Classic, released on April 28, 2023. This was the latest major update since the [[Death & Taxes]] update in 2020.


The '''Fight or Flight''' update was the second major update for [[Team Fortress 2 Classic]]. It focused on content involving new mobility or related to air. Things such as a new [[Jump Pads|building that allows teammates to jump high]], an [[Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti aircraft cannon]] to shoot said jumping enemies, and a [[Twin Barrel|shotgun that lets Pyro double jump]] were included in this update.
True to its namesake, it focused on content related to mobility, as well as several weapons and maps. Its flagship feature is the [[Jump Pads|Jump Pad]], an Engineer building that allows taking to the skies. The [[Anti-Aircraft Cannon]] was designed for Heavy to swat enemies out of the air, while the [[Twin Barrel]] affords Pyro greater mobility. The [[Brick]] gives Scout a hard-hitting projectile, while the Heavy gains [[Chekhov's Punch]] and the Pyro gains the [[Harvester]] - both weapons that store critical hits for later. Finally, [[L'escampette]] gives the Spy an alternate watch, allowing for easier escapes.


In total this update introduced 7 new weapons, 5 new maps including a 4 team medieval one, a new gamemode, 54 new achievements, and various fixes and changes to the core gameplay.  
The update also introduces the [[Arena]] map [[Floodgate]], the [[Four-Team]] [[King of the Hill]] map [[Frigid]], the [[Payload]] map [[Jinn]], the Four-Team [[Medieval Mode]] map [[Krepost]], and the new [[Territorial Domination]] game mode with the map [[Caper]].

Seatbelts on! Tray tables in their upright positions! "No Smoking" lights completely ignored! The Fight or Flight Update is getting off the ground shortly.
