The reason the bison has the +200% afterburn damage stat is because it's considered a flame particle so that's why it does such little damage in vanilla,

[@30thCenturyFish]

@@snekkobean true. the combo potential, plus the fact that you can use the reserve shooter for good damage is fun.

[@snekkobean]

@Max Power I like to pair it with the gunboats for -80% self rocket damage while still being able to do damage. Also, 67 damage is still a pretty good chunk of damage. Overall, a clip of the liberty launcher and stock does the same amount, you can just spread out the damage a bit more evenly but it takes a bit more time.

[@snekkobean]

@@30thCenturyFish it's defintley not as good as stock, but when you're being compared to arguably the best weapon in the entire game, it's hard to be that good

[@Massie_]

As for the Disciplinary Action, depending on some server configurations (i.e. x100 servers usually), if it's set to deal high negative damage (as in heal the enemy), it also causes negative knockback, meaning you can pull people towards you if you hit them from an elevation. On Highertower, a gimmick strat is to hover with the Basejumper over the pit and just yoink people towards you with the increased range as they hit the skybox and plumet into the ground.

The whip is very weird in x100. It's effects on teammates don't change, hovever it now has infinite range.

[@vitoralexandre8325]

great video as always,keep doing those

[@zanehannan5306]

Mild changes I'd probably make: Change: I feel like the cow mangler should be a clip reload weapon (all 4 reload at once). Ideally the 4 to 40 second charge shot would be a 60 (Mini), 40 (L1), 30 (L2), and 20 (L3) second (with -2 seconds each time the engineer hits it with wrenches other than the Jag, -1 second for the Jag), but can't say for certain. Stupid: the bison should be a supply cabinet on kill (refill yourself and give yourself full heal/switch loadout on kill if you have it pending). Would encourage a rollover style where you take a crapload of damage, but eek out a kill and begin stomping. Strange: Panic attack with reloading automatically in the background, I guess. Out of place change: Disciplinary Action would be to have it deal 2 damage on hit, and 40 on a headshot, and 40 on a bumshot, but gets negative falloff up to 75 on a long distance bumshot (>⅔ the reach of the whip). Could be a very wacky weapon. Fun: Gunboats launch nearby enemies on the ground (within 10m) 1m into the air, 2m towards you (combo with shovel), you take no fall damage. At some point I might see about submitting these ideas upwards to the devs, but not sure. The changes would probably bump the Bison up to situationally amazing, panic attack to one or two uses, and gunboats to situationally amazing. Cow mangler would probably turn into a consistently average pick, and DA would be always a great pick.

I like the Direct Hit because it essentially rewards you for great aim in turn for kind of punishing you for missing. It essentially turns you into a Rocket Jumping Sniper. It’s also helpful to run this weapon with the Gunboats since you take less damage when rocket jumping with them. Ironic how the weapon that everyone hates is better than the weapon used by Trolldiers in x10.

Doesnt always work out, but if you jump directly after/before shooting and you are shot up again quite a distance so you are out. Not effective but damn that is fun though, even though you kill yourself more than the enemy team does.
