consumable as in you use them and get an effect. But I was hoping they kept with the trend of edible items. Honesty if jarate would be best when used with the smg since it would then tear them to shreds so I'm hoping jarate is a melee replacement. Except his melee is so good that it might still be hard to replace with a jarate/smg combo.

Actually I'm fairly sure its a melee replacement since they say its "Jar-based Karate"

jarate is going to be the SMG replacement.
look at the "jarate chop" sniper achievement
