The Ultimate TF2x10 Demoman Tier List

TF2x10: the mode where every weapon's stats are multiplied by (about) 10. And contrary to popular belief, it's super playable! This video focuses on both Demoman (the explosives guy) and Demoknight (the sword guy), which are so different that I considered doing separate tier lists for both of them. Let me know which class you want next!

Nah, capping itself is fine, but on highertower standing on the cart itself tends to lag the game because it’s a moving object rather than a moving platform.

Okay, two things I want to address that I didn't cover in the video. First, my original reasoning for the Quickiebomb rating is that once you got good enough with the Sticky Jumper, it was a direct upgrade from the Quickybomb since you don't take self damage. However, after using the Quickie a bit more, I think there is something to be said for instant stickybomb jumping even if it causes self damage. I would honestly end up moving it up to One or Two Uses since it's a sidegrade to the Jumper for market bottling. (Even in the video you can see I was hitting a lot more bottles with the Quickie than the Jumper). Second, I forgot to mention that the Nine Iron's damage increase also increases the damage of the shield charge (and the melee crit at the end of the charge), so it has slightly higher burst damage compared to the Eyelander. This one is important since it's what made me consider the Nine Iron to be evenly matched with the Eyelander, even though the Nine Iron looks significantly worse at first glance. I'll probably make a "stuff I got wrong" video once I'm done with all of the classes since there are a few things I want to correct, but until then I feel like these are important enough to mention since they alter the placement of certain weapons. Sorry about that!

[@InsertFunnyThingHere]

The Scottish handshake has the self damage force thing so the push force immunity doesn't completely delete sticky jumping I think

[@shaddymate2736]

[@Buster_real]

25:38 Fun fact about crits: the way they work is that the (mini)crit hit is actually 2 hits: one of them is the weapon's normal damage that would be dealt if the hit wasn't a crit, it's subject to damage resistances as you'd expect; the second hit is crit damage scaled in a way so that both hits together do expected crit damage, and it only is affected by crit resistance. e.g. Center mass crit rocket from across the map would do 48 explosive damage and 222 crit damage.

[@Alina_The_Wolf]

just a note that full crits remove fall off and ramp up so a max range critical rocket would still do 90 explosive damage and 180 critical damage. and mini crits also remove fall off but not ramp up.

[@harrogeorge7878]

Very interesting, thank you

[@cheesepop7175]

fun fact about damage bonuses the way damage is calculated is that it takes the number 65, divides it by 2, multiplies it by 2, adds the number 900 to it, subtracts the number 450 from it twice, multiplies it by any damage bonuses on the weapon, adds 1 to it, subtracts 1 from it, and then adds 20 to it, and then removes 11 from it, and then removes 9 from it

My guess for the loch and load is that maybe the explosion radius is just barely the size of the grenade's hitbox, meaning that at certain angles maybe the explosion doesn't reach outside of the hitbox so when the the grenade impacts with the enemy, the explosion can't reach them. Just a guess though.

[@brianoconnor5799]

Thats the most likely case as this bug isnt unique to tf2 as in fallout 76 the broadsider suffers the same issue

[@shanedancer3895]

That’s what I was thinking but if that’s the reason then the iron bomber should never hit because the hit box of the grenade is bigger but the explosion should be the same. It could be the case the descriptions just aren’t correct but assuming the numbers are right the issue is probably something with the shatters on impact

keep making tier lists please, they are quite useful when playing x10 as a guide for how well things function and also to know what anything does

[@sarysa]

Really enjoying this series. A lot has changed since I last played x10. (such as the Persian Persuader not having infinite charges anymore) But the one I'm really looking forward to is Medic. Pretty much NOBODY played as Medic back in the day due to it lacking any broken setups that the other classes had, and its upsides being more focused toward pocket medic rather than general purpose medic. I hope that class got some well needed love over the years.

[@sarysa]

I should probably correct, but not only Medic's upsides, but also the overall TF2x10 design is better for pocket medic. So many classes have too much mobility for Medic to keep up with, even on servers with medigun tether.

[@SneakybeakyScrub]

i think my favorite x10 loadout is the iron bomber, splendid screen, & persian persuader because even though all you get is burst damage, that burst damage makes reading enemies alot more fun

[@bruschetta7711]

The problem with the loch n load is that they forgot to multiply by 10 the only stat that makes it even worth using, the less arching projectyles As you can see in the clips, the 250% speed which sounds like a lot doesn't feel right, that's because the thing that makes loch n load easier to hit is not the bonus speed but more like the reduced arc

[@DrBodyshot]

Yeah, instead of actually moving faster, it just feels like the nades' animations got sped up instead

If I remember correctly, iron bomber is bugged, but all grenade launchers use bounding boxes for calculating splash damage, it's just the iron bomber's grenades have much bigger hit box than they should

petition to gie the loose cannon the old iron bomber hitbox (IM BEGGING YOU VALVE

[@schniemand]

I think it'd be better if it was TF2^N and not TF2×N. (Maybe TF1024 or whatever) Every multiplier gets raised to the Nth power. It'd prevent -%s from becoming zero. Optimal N would probably be 5 and not 10. So TF2^5=TF32 or something. 20% penalties would become 67% penalties. Multiplication of arbitrary numbers that can be either offsets or scalars all over the place just doesn't really work if you want to apply it consistently at all.

[@gameingtothemax6266]

17:07 that's actually what I do with the Scottish resistance in normal TF2 when I'm on defense and the area is a medium sized flat area

[@TheDunsparceGames]

the fire immunity on the caber is a reference to the expert’s ordance set with the loch n load and the caber which gave you a 10% fire resistance when the full set was equipped it’s just that multiplied by 10

[@froggie610]

Scout may be the shittest class in TF2 x10. If I were to make a list for it, it would be: S Tier: Shortstop, the shortstop is weird because you cannot have hp immediately when spawning, your health is still in 125, only when you go to a resupply cabinet that your hp will jump to 375. It does good damage, though if you get hit by anything you go flying. Also when you switch to any weapon it can drain your health so be careful. Mad Milk, you can just basically have it all the time and still have all the utility of normal Mad Milk. Atomizer, being able to jump 30 times with no penalties is very good, though you will die to a very good Direct Hit Soldier most of the time. You'll annoy everyone in the server if you equip this. A Tier: Force n Nature, it is really good at pestering the shit out of everyone in the server. As it does, (as I believe to be) like 150 dg per shot and the spread of the Force n Nature basically makes it so that one pellet can still have the full knock back. Soda popper, a premiere dps gun for scout. Though it doesn't have knock back, for how fast it can reload you can obtain an atrocious amount of damage built up. The 9 jumps you can get from the soda popper is neat as well. Scatter gun: It is basically the Soda popper, but you have 6 shots and you reload instantly. Does great damage and that's it. Winger, it does a moderate amount of damage, It feels like I'm doing such low damage, mainly because of the 2 clip size for the gun. The jump height is really good for towering Higher tower. B Tier: Sun on a stick, you are basically immune to huo long heater heavies and scorch shot spam. But it doesn't do any damage. Bonk! Atomic punch, it's just like vanilla, it just makes you invincible and it charges a little bit faster. That's it. It is really good at survivability, but you'll die really fast anyways. Pistol, again, it is just like vanilla but has a faster clip reload speed and an absurd amount of bullets to fire. Flying Guillotine, you can spam the heck out of this, it is basically a pestering tool for anyone with high amounts of health. Boston Basher, it's like it's vanilla counterpart, but the bleed on miss makes it so you bleed for eternity. Holy Mackerel, being able to turn the enemy a 180 degree turn is pretty good but situational usually on melee fights. Any bat reskin, it is basically a bat, but it has a faster swing speed a little bit more damage, and fall resistance. So it's somewhat useful in that area. C tier: Crit-a-cola, you can do extra damage to anyone. And it lasts a really long time. It pairs really well with every primary and melee weapon. Though if you get hit once you are basically already dead. Back scatter, It is like normal Back Scatter, but you only have 2 shots and you'll do critical hits on the back instead of mini crit. It can be good in flanks but that's just about it. D tier: Baby Face Blaster, not only that your base speed is reduced, when you do hit someone the speed boost barely makes a difference. Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol, good for recovering health I guess. The mad milk is just superior to this in every way. As well as dying to everyone instantly. Fan O War, literally a meme weapon, anyone that uses this is not taking the game seriously. Wrap Assassin, the bleed is good? I guess, but literally a meme weapon. Candy Cane, you'll die to everything, and good luck killing anyone with this weapon. F tier: Sandman, you'll just die to a fucking feather. Scout is a pretty shit class in x10.

[@Amaz1ngTac0]

the fix for the loch in load and the iron bomber may be to increase the weapons explosion radius. My guess of what is happening is that the pipe is hitting the players box and exploding, without hitting the players damage box.

[@statelyelms]

yeah locking the explosive radius to the same size as the projectile hitbox or maybe slightly larger would make it much more viable

[@minelord8492]

I think the quickie bomb launcher is one or two uses, it would be better if it did no self damage because it would be more viable but it has 2 uses that I can think of. The first is a quick getaway, you can leave a situation easily by only taking a bit of damage, and the other use is for better mobility because you can sticky jump mid air, making it possible to have easier ways to pick off enemies, especially with the stock

[@unknown_aberration]

Rest in peace my beloved Quickiebomb Launcher..

[@statelyelms]

I think the reason why the Loch & Load doesn't do any damage is because the explosion radius is actually SMALLER than the projectile hitbox. So when it detonates, the explosion doesn't even intersect. Then again, the Iron Bomber has the same feature.. so maybe they fixed the Iron Bomber and didn't for the Loch & Load?

Honestly if there’s was a toned down version of the iron bomber in x10 that’d be really cool like maybe if you loaded al 4 in the “chamber” or wheat we it’s called maybe it could do like 200 damage… though that may be busted for dropping medics.

Ik it's a demo video and all but the syringe gun in x10 is godly. It gives you the power of an a-10 warthog's primary cannon (minus the explosive aspect) in a handheld form. You can obliterate heavies at close range in literally one second. Even at mid range with the damage fall off, this thing can still shred through light and mid armor targets in little time at all. The main problem of this weapon is the syringe travel time, which is still slow despite the (epic fire rate), the restricted range, and the fact that you burn through ammo at a ridiculous rate but overall it's still godly in x10 and 110% better than it's normal variant
