Beep Boy
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | ” |
The Beep Boy is community-created cosmetic item for the Scout, Pyro, and Engineer. It is a team-colored portable, presumably gaming device with two orange action buttons marked with "T" and "F" letters, a grey directional pad, speaker and a display with a smiling emote. The Beep Boy also contains a cartridge inside of it, which shares the same name as the item.
The Beep Boy's emote has facial flexes that correspond with those of the wearer's, allowing it to copy the user's current expression and facial movements. When worn by the Pyro, the Beep Boy expresses an evil grin, and its emote does not move.
The Beep Boy was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
