SFM has a feature to record gameplay footage. He used that feature then pasted the motion onto that model.

[@Hexagonaldonut]

See, you'd think it'd be that simple, but it very much is not. If you look closely in the credits you can see some of how it was done- it was not that simple. ceno0 is a fucking SFM wizard and I'm terrified of his power.

[@VGLounge]

@@Hexagonaldonut He's of course one of the best in the business, but the technique isn't that hard. With the camera and legs handled by TF2, all that's left is upper torso and refining the motion.

@@VGLounge you could also optimize it further by taking the first person animations from _insert cod title here_ and apply them to the bones of the model, then use triggers to activate certain animations for the arms, im sure theres more to it though, but im sure it would be a time saving move.

12:28 This whole sequence is a reference to Dark Souls (the first game in the Dark Souls Trilogy). In particular, the most well-known boss fight is against Dragonslayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough in this cathedral (hence the Booty Executioner and the Sandwich Slayer). Ornstein and Smough are known being an extremely difficult fight for first-time players. The 34 up in the top left corner isn't level, but instead a resource called Humanity. It has a variety of effects, but most importantly facilitates online play when active.

[@ayakaasama]

@@jplolol there isnt any confirmation that it is or isnt canon´, however in the shorts and the comics he is consistently shown to be smart, cunning and thoughtful even in his bio it says "Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes that you would just shut up before he has to make you shut up." while he isnt very good at english which makes him sound stupid, he in fact is intelligent his intelligence can be noticed in Meet the Heavy where he easily calculated how much it would cost to shoot his minigun for 12 seconds, so we can say he is good at math

[@rechedel4]

ceno0's Heavys are the pure definition of war crimes and ptsd all together

[@Ze_N00B]

2:40 To be fair, silencers can act as pseudo muzzle breaks, reducing recoil by essentially pulling the gun counter to it using the left over gas pressure from the round that was fired. In addition, though they don't actually silence anything, just making it quiter, the result is quiet enough to do only neglegable damage to your eardrums, meaning that they can fire them without the need for earplugs and as such can respond more effectively to suspicious noises.

[@EliiGamer685]

But there is one disadvantage: silencers reduce the firepower of the weapon. In a situation of defending, you want your enemy dead, and putting something that reduces the lethality of your weapon doesn't help on that. Not that it would matter when facing immortal beings like these 2 Heavies anyways

[@Chorse4941]

@EliiGamer 685 silencers don’t make a gun weaker where did you get that from

[@EliiGamer685]

@@Chorse4941 silencers is not the name of the extra barrel, but the name of the whole thing you have to do in order to do a gun "silence", which is put a suppressor (that's the name of the extra barrel), and using subsonic ammo which is slower than regular ammo, and less lethal. Putting a suppressor alone doesn't affect lethality, but also does barely a minimum change in how loud the gun is

[@Chorse4941]

@@EliiGamer685 You don't have to use subsonic ammo to use a supressor. They never said anything about subsonic ammo.

[@Chorse4941]

[@rdsabroad7528]

Maybe you've been suggested this before, but if you're up for more wacky TF2 Paul, I recommend the youtubers StblackSt, and Eltoro64rus, They've been making silly animations for a long time. (If you watch StblackSt, I recommend watching older animations first. He has a story that progresses through most of the animations, and the newer ones will make almost no sense if you haven't seen the whole story.)

[@zyrlmilesaguitong1598]

For StblackSt. Watch 1-3 videos

the 34 its because hes level 34 (or because of the Rule 34)

[@CraftMine1000]

Given the quest is for booty its most certainly a rule 34 reference

[@Gormula137]

It's most likely a rule 34 reference but if it's not it would actually mean he's got 34 humanities since this whole part is a Dark Souls reference.
