The potato added to the Trader weapon list cost £70,000 to buy and provided the achievement {{rl|Uber Tuber}} to all players and spectators in the game upon purchase, providing the user wasn't on solo and only used whitelisted content. The game also opened a Steam browser page to the Aperture Science login page, to which the password was "failed experiments". The player didn't actually gain any sort of potato weapon to attack specimens with upon its purchase.

The model of dropped money was also changed to a potato.

=== Buying the potato ===


In order to legitimately acquire the £70,000 required to purchase the potato one of the following situations could have been used:

*Playing on beginner difficulty on a listen server, not solo. You must collect as much as you can weapons on map in the current round and drop them in front of the Trader's door in single heap. You can leave a last Clot alive and then exploring map and find weapons. Then you must hurry up and sell all the weapons in the stack in trading time. 2-3 Players can collect enough money in 4 rounds.

*Playing on beginner difficulty on a listen server, not solo, with the [http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=37788&highlight=faked+players faked players mutator] enabled, set to 99 players, as a level 6 [[Berserker]]. Since there will be 800 specimens per wave all other classes will have ammunition issues.

*Leaving a single weak specimen alive at the end of a wave and healing a team mate as it damages them for the healing money. This tactic takes a very long time, and can also be used in conjunction with leveling the [[Field Medic]] perk.

*Playing on the map [http://www.box.net/shared/3zzetj8fhk HeresyBeta3], due to it having a money room.

*Playing on [http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/98355 Perklevelingultra], due to its money room, can get you the achievement in under three minutes.
