I was actually considering going back to the winger. It was my first unlock and soundsmith said a bunch of positive stuff about it in the weapon stereotypes. So my little naive brain thought "Ey big youtube dude say its good! it must be good!" And I was right! All scouts pistols fill a niche which no other can, and I have to admit this just convinced me to going back about a year and then some and staying with this wingman again.

[@elmaxoTF2]

I just prefer utility in my secondary as Scout way more which is why the only other weapon I like besides The Winger is Mad Milk. Anyway, glad to see you convert back to the Church of the Winger.

Well, to be fair the stock pistol is a straight downgrade to the pretty boy's so that's one less

[@LJThePerson]

@@sirpuffball6366 I think the pistol has its upsides, it “feels” alot more accurate due to the slower firing speed, and ofc you have the higher clip size Also keep in mind I’m not saying that the pistol is better then the pretty boys pocket pistol overall, I’m just saying that it DOES have a little bit of upsides over it which is what results in some people using it more.

Honestly, the downside isn't even bad. I mainly only use the pistol to finish off opponents, so the damage buff is good, and entirely negates the clip size downside. In my opinion, it should be meta.

The Winger combined with the Atomizer lets you do anything and get anywhere, it’s actually insane. Get the 25% higher jump from the Winger then if you time it right, you can also use the third jump from the Atomizer, and then the sky’s the limit with the amount of mobility you have

I found the most of my jumps on harvest, you can jump onto the roof from spawn on those boxes and get to the other team real early. There is also a spot on the big blue barn where there is a light you can jump on from the roof of the point. You can also go on the boxes outside of mid and jump on the roof from there. You can also jump up to shed with the boxes stacked by the side, and from the shed to the roof across (you could already do this but it is much harder).

[@sigilabbas8318]

I know it's not optimal but I also find that the winger synergizes nicely with the babyface's blaster, more so than the stock pistol, and about as well as the prettyboy's and cleaver. The extra height allows you to make jumps where you can't spare the boost for a double jump, and the added bonus damage allows you to build a bit better of boost by just firing into distant fights before diving in.

[@dingdong1647]

After I started using the Winger a few months back, I havent been able to stop. At this point, losing the Winger's mobility would feel like being hit in the kneecaps. There are SO many situations where you can just winger jump instead of doing awkward crouch jumps over props, making movement feel fluid

[@Woodland_Adventures]

The winger and pocket boy have always been my favorite. But I tend to use the winger more, just because the extra height on my jumps combo's really well with my playstyle of "Fly scout", aka fuck you, I might not be able to hit you, but you can't hit me either. Basically just be a minor annoyance that can cause major distractions for my team to push.

What's even great about the winger is how you can vary your jumps rather having the same height for both jumps. You can either have a normal + high jump, high + normal jump, or high + high jump giving you a bit more unpredictability in your jump patterns, arguably still a bit predictable since you're airborne but hey they have to aim higher/farther now.

[@Abyss_Keeper]

As a winger scout I can agree with the fact that you are saying at the start of using the winger I doubled up it with the fan of war to get mini crits and it works well.

[@schniemand]

I recently found out that the 25% jump height bonus is actually more like a *50%* jump height bonus. What it increases by 25% is the jump _velocity,_ but the effect of that on jump height is squared. It increases the perfect double jump + crouch max height from 117 HU to 171 HU, which is a pretty big increase. This applies to MvM jump height upgrades, too. Buying 3 ticks of jump height and holding the Winger actually gives you *4x* jump height, not just 2x.

The Ultimate “More Jumpy, Less Shooty” Loadout (TUMJ,LSL): Soda Popper, for extra jumps when the boost is active and the knock back on shot, the Winger, you already know why, and the Atomizer for triple jump when equipped. Jumps could be like: double Winger jump, switch to the Atomizer for the triple jump then switch for the Soda Popper for the knock back

[@kaiyuanchen2107]

i think me and most other people prefer the atomizer over the winger, even though you can get some extra mobility with the winger, atomizer does essentially the same thing and also opens up your pistol slot for stock/pocket pistol. Im aware of the jumps you can get with both, but most are usually quite situational and you could get more kills with the pistol finishing people off at a distance than you could with the different spots both the weapons give you

I've been using this for a long time It gives you the mobility of the atomizer but also allow you to deal a substantial amount of damage It's arguably better for survivability than the atomizer because you can deal damage as you are jumping out if reach of your enemies You can parkour as scout and have a weapon ready instead of being flustered and forced to switch

Its really funny when you can simply double jump over a sentry's range too as it doesn't react fast enough turning around and up. Though takes practice.

[@MortStrudel]

This raises the eternal question of Winger vs Atomizer. They can be used in conjunction, but there's some major overlap between the weapon's niches and their benefits don't really work together, since you can only have one out at once. This means that equipping both is in many ways sub-optimal. The atomizer does most of what the winger does, without having to give up your more reliable pistol (instead just giving up your melee, which for many scout builds isn't used at all). The question then becomes: do the upsides of the winger justify equipping it when so much of its utility is covered by the atomizer for free? The main benefits of the winger are faster switch speed and being able to do big jumps while shooting (albeit less sustained dps than your pistol would be). There's some utility for that, but if you're just using it to do rollouts and get into position while out of combat, the atomizer doesn't seem any worse. There's also of course utility for people who want to equip a different melee than atomizer, but outside of 6v6 where you need the basher for uber, there aren't really many situations where your secondary slot is less valuable than your melee slot. That's not looking good for the winger camp. Now the final point that I THOUGHT put the nail in the coffin for the winger is the actual jump heights. My assumptions about the jump heights made me think the winger is +25% height for two jumps, meaning an effective 250% jump height. This would put it well below the atomizer's theoretical 300% jump height (and additional horizontal jump distance), and leave it pretty much trounced on ever level. BUT, after testing it on tr_walkway, it seems to me that the atomizer's three jumps somehow results in less jump height than the winger's two +25% jumps. This probably has something to do with how tf2 calculates gravity - maybe it's actually increasing the force of his jump by +25%, which for some reason results in a higher total jump height than a third distinct jump. Whatever the reason, the winger seems to give a bit higher jump height, while the atomizer of course provides more horizontal airtime. As someone who values mobility a whole damned lot, I'm going to have to play winger scout a lot more now. Looks like it still has its own niche. Side note, you can actually fairly reliably do a jump with the winger, then swap over to the atomizer by the time the second jump ends and benefit from both in one round of airtime, but it's pretty clunky and means not shooting while jumping, which again negates part of the benefit of the winger in the first place.

[@noitsjustcody]

Hands down my favorite Scout secondary. Great video dude!

[@notgeoffrey7976]

Yoo it just turned to 10k congrats!

[@LJThePerson]

Honestly I love atomizer since 1: It doesn’t take up the secondary slot 2: It is alot easier to reach longer distances and even then it can reach the same amount of hight as winger I believe. 3: Since you have the secondary slot open you can use higher dps pistols / secondaries like PBPP and Cleaver. The only real downside is not being able to use boston basher, but in my case I see myself (and others too) using atomizers ability ALOT more then the bostons, it just opens so much flank routes. But yeah, winger definitely is underrated in the end. I kinda like to consider it the “Atomizer pistol”
