I'll never forget this specific game of tf2, and it was because of the sticky jumper, funnily enough. I was on offense on the second point of Dustbowl (as a demo) and as soon as the round started, I flew past the enemy team and into their backline. After my team got the first point, I back capped and no one on red was fast enough to stop me. One of my favorite games of tf2 for sure.

[@ieuanhunt552]

one thing that makes the rushing spawn strategy effective is a factor that is hard to quantify. The psychological impact.

The reason why this weapon is so widely forgotten is because the devs have kind of made it to be forgotten. Like even sticky jumping in general there’s the gunboats, air strike, market gardener, liberty launcher, man-treads, there’s so many different unlocks for soldiers and rocket jumping but since demoman lost the war update he got his character split in half with normal demo and demo knight so it always feels like there’s nothing or no one ever encouraging you to sticky jump.

I think it's also important that you could keep a sticky or two on the floor in an area after you jump, and if things get dicey, you can make a quick getaway. You have 8 ammo in reserve, and you're definitely not gonna be pulling this out in combat, so a little planning helps. Besides, hitting airshot pipes are always preferred over using stickies imo.

Also Lock'n'load + sticky Jumper can lead to some sick aerial Sentry nest take downs if you aim true.

sticky jumper is really really good, the rocket jumper is more of a meme and so on is easier to make into content, since its use is actually diffrent in a movement and health management manner to the other options .

I started using the sticky launcher for that on a Hightower server, I so do love launching up on an unsuspecting sniper, sometimes they see me, and knowing that my entire purpose in life is to delete them, instantly go for me and win. But if they don’t see me, and then I launch somewhere around them, if I got lucky I’m on top of them and I delete them with the skullcutter, and then I spawncamp whatever entrance I’m at until I quickly meet my demise, I don’t have any healing, took damage from the fall, and possibly got hit by the sniper once before killing them, so all it takes is one or two enemies to come out and see me and I’m probably going to die.

Protip for the sticky jumper. Plan your escape ahead of time and put your stickies where they need to be before engaging with the enemy. Once you've used your 4 pipes get tf out of there as soon as possible. Keep in mind an escape doesn't need to launch you across the map, you just gotta launch yourself somewhere that breaks line of sight and that would take a minute for anybody chasing you to catch up. By the time they get to you you'll have your pipes reloaded and hopefully have another couple stickies laid out for your next jump. An example of a good place to put your stickies is the bottom of one of the ramps on hightower. You can jump up through the ramp room and land on that small health kit in the corner if you're good at air strafing. You can also launch straight up and go over one of those high walls. I find that a good way to juke people is to land on top of one of those walls, people generally run around to the other side assuming that's where you'll land so you can wait for that then hop back down to the side you came from.

I mostly use the sticky jumper in gamemodes where the "can't cap intel" stat does not affect the gameplay, like Payload. mostly use it there for trolling and getting back to the objective quicker, it's really good in those sorts of gamemodes where you can still help on the objective with it, and especially so on large open maps like upwards.
