Requested Move: Slap Attack

Valve decided last minute to rename the weapon from "Hot Hand" to "Slap Attack." Although the Day 3 page calls it the Hot Hand, the patch notes call it the Slap Attack. http://www.teamfortress.com/jungleinferno/notes.php --User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png Dr. Scaphandre 14:48, 20 October 2017 (PDT)

Turns out they didn't change the name after all and it was just a typo. --User Dr. Scaphandre Golden Ghastly Gibus.png Dr. Scaphandre 15:34, 20 October 2017 (PDT)

If the BLU Hot Hand is unseen in-game, shouldn't it be unused content?

Also, I'm not sure where this BLU skin was found, because both c_slapping_glove and w_slapping_glove has the grey color for both teams (as well a third unused skin with a slightly darker yellow band). Was it eventually replaced (to use the same colors as the RED team) after the initial patch in the Jungle Inferno Update?

It seems Valve silently replaced/removed it in an unknown patch. The BLU variant never had its own texture; they merely manipulated the colors via the VMT file, but for some reason it never got applied to the viewmodel.
