[TF2] Precision Weapons

[@hoarsebard]

I had someone LEGITIMATELY try to tell me the Direct Hit is a crutch because I swapped to it to handle his sentry nest. Apparently the skillful thing to do with an established engineer nest is brainlessly walk towards it with stock.

[@screamingcactus1753]

If they set their sentry up in a place where you had a good line of sight to shoot it from outside of its range and didn't have the Wrangler to shoot back, that's entirely on them.

[@terivenverien1849]

If they don't have the wrangler or simply don't like using the wrangler (like me I hate it) then at worst the direct hit is overkill. Yes single enemies are supposed to be weak to a sentry they are in line of sight to. But all a decent soldier needs a spy, scout, or other soldier to disable the sentry. And if they do use the wrangler...well it's useless cuz you still aren't destroying it. So yes it's a crutch for soldiers who don't understand the fundamentals of fighting sentries. Sentries really aren't that hard to kill if your using your brain and moving intelligently. Or you know just go demo and spam pills or stickies over cover

[@windhelmguard5295]

i usually run the brass beast with one of heavies shotguns and the GRU. people tend to think shotguns are just for fat scout but they're also extremely useful in most situations, i often find myself using the shotgun more than my minigun most of the time pretty much ever since they introduced the minigun damage penalty when you start spinning up. and this is also why i favour the brass beast over any other minigun, since you have to stay spun up for a whole second to max out your damage, might as well dedicate the minigun to situations when you are where the enemy needs to go and for this the brass beast is objectively the best.

Incredible timing for this video to come out for me, i just started using the direct hit non stop yesterday and immediately have fallen in love with it. i never got attatched to playing soldier because i always felt the splash damage was kinda unfair and unfun to play so the DH is perfect for me

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

25:45 This is only true if there both already revved, and therein lies the issue with the Tomislav's balancing. It has some obvious use cases in more aggressive plays, ambushing, and mid-range combat, which already make it a strong sidegrade, but not only is its slower firing speed not enough to substantially decrease the weapon's DPS, but the faster spin-up largely negates this downside outside of major team fights where you'll be revved for multiple kills. Sure, you get into those plenty often as Heavy, but the thing about the Tomislav is its faster spin-up means in many situations where with any other minigun you'd stay revved until your next kill comes to you, you can unrev and just rev again without really being punished for it. Stock is only firmly better in scenarios where a lot of enemies are rushing you at the same time, and even then not by a whole lot.

[@royelliot7963]

Minigun only out dps tomislav at close range or when firing into large groups where bullet spread does not matter. Someone did a video on it, forget who. Tomislav will outdps minigun at medium and long ranges due to accuracy buff. Not to mention that you will also be firing sooner with tomislav due to reduced rev time.

[@Tann3rr]

You already know what I’m about to to comment Fire thumbnail🔥

[@KingSlimeZ]

the best part about all of these weapons is they are actually easier to use in practice The Direct Hit - the faster speed allows you to completely ignore the fact that it is a projectile and simply play as if it were hitscan, which essentially allows you to ignore soldier's entire downside of not being hitscan The Shortstop - this is one that I personally enjoyed using while learning to aim as Scout, allowing you to attack from medium range rather than solely short range, and being thus extremely consistent compared to the scatter which is more affected by random bullet spread due to the shortstop being more accurate The Dragon's Fury - the dragon is an incredible weapon due to its massive damage and the projectiles aren't THAT hard to aim - the extra damage allows you to take down even Heavies if you are good enough, with its one downside being the airblast and being airblasted. An important thing to note - and i did not know this before watching the video - the triple damage will only activate if the center of the projectile hits the enemy, but it still deals damage if the projectile itself hits the enemy... this creates moments where you hit enemies with the edge of the projectile and become confused when it doesn't do the one thing it is supposed to do. I personally dislike all of the other flamethrowers due to their terrible damage output to the point where it takes 5 seconds to melt a cloaked Spy, whereas the dragon's fury is capable of that in 2 quick shots. Its combination with the scorch shot will demolish enemies. The Tomislav - why is this on the list? it's still a tracking weapon, you can't make a tracking weapon more precise even if it is more accurate, it's just a better stock. The Loch - faster projectile speed = easier to aim, see direct hit The Loose Cannon (not on list) - this is what i think of when i think of precision weapon. despite being a generally bad weapon (only better than stock against light classes, all other classes would have died quicker with stock, especially weak against heavy) it still demolishes the classes that it is effective against, and its slower projectile speed allows you to simply spam points and you'll probably not do too badly.

[@milliondollarmistake]

The Loose Cannon is my go-to demo primary and I agree that it's his worse grenade launcher. The LnL might get overlooked but it's the stronger choice. Small note though, you were saying that it deals 25 extra damage to buildings when it's only 20 damage. It doesn't matter either way but I'm a pedantic asshole lol

[@professional_lurker]

I try not to be pedantic about people using words interchangeably, but there is a notable difference between "accuracy" and "precision". Accuracy is when a series of shots land on target, whereas precision is when any given shot hits a specific area of a target. These are mostly "accuracy" weapons, though I will concede that the Direct Hit, Loch, and Dragon's Fury could be "precision" weapons if you are focused on hitting the enemy's legs to launch them up. The Backscatter is technically a precision weapon, since you have to hit the back, as are all of Spy's knives, the Ambassador, and every Sniper primary. Outside of those, I can't think of any weapon that requires actual precision over just general accuracy.

[@goodie2goodie1]

Yapping

[@yourgoodfriend276]

I can see where you are coming from, but you have made two mistakes: 1: Accuracy is a listed stat within TF2's actual code, and it dictates how close a fired projectile is to a player's reticle. There is no "precision" stat, though there is a "Weapon Spread" stat. While this is not what the actual word means, it is what it is. Much like how TF2 will call it "Clip Size" even though no weapons in the game use clips at all, most using magazines or cylinders. 2: Accuracy means how often your shots land on target. Precision means how close those projectiles are to each other. Hitting someone across the map every time you fire the Scattergun makes it a very accurate weapon even though most projectiles are missing. Firing a full Tomislav into a wall 2 feet from you into a 2in.x2in. space makes it a very precise weapon even though it did nothing to an enemy, because all those shots went to one place.

28:30 I've seen a lot of reddit posts saying they hate the silent rev cause someone with that much damage shouldn't be able to have silence around corners.

So why not the heavy? Hypocrites the lot of them.

[@DRAGONSFURYENJOYER]

I ❤️ Dragon's Fury

[@wtzhang586]

The biggest problem of the dragons fury is that it lets pyro to take a role that many other classes, namely soldiers and demos and scouts, can do better while severely gimping his main role. Hence why it’s rarely, if ever, used by serious pyro mains. Pyro is a support/defense class at his core due to airblasts and offensively pyro isn’t strong at all considering his below average mobility and bad range. Playing DF pyro is a lot like playing huntsman sniper or demoknight in which you do enjoy its distinctive advantages but in the grand scheme of things it’s not as effective as stock or degreaser. Oh you forgot one very important thing which is right clicking in the middle of a firefight can be a death sentence as your entire weapon will be on cooldown

I've always thought that the Tomislav was all upsides. Despite the slow firing speed, it spins up faster and is more accurate. This means you hit WAY more shots from distance, and your ammo lasts longer. Liking Sasha most is the most heavy thing you can do.

[@Freelancer837]

Honestly, the Direct Hit feels like the only rocket that does anything. The splash damage feels like a water gun with how much damage it's doing to people, and even just rockets normally. Other rockets also aren't really hitting those direct hits because of the slow speed so you need to rely on that splash damage water pistol damage more often than not. Meanwhile, the Direct Hit increases the project speed so it doesn't matter. It does make hitting direct hits easy and make the gun feel better to use than any of the other rockets in the game

As someone who mains pyro with at least 2k hours on the class, I very much disagree that the dragon's fury has a higher skill expression compared to the normal flame throwers. Yes the act of pressing m1 to kill enemy gamers takes more precision and it has a higher skill floor but the lack of airblast heavily damages the skill expression with the weapon. If it didn't have a massive cooldown between airblasts then I would definitely agree.

Ik this video has 5 weapons, but what about the ambassador? That's clearly an aim intensive weapon alternative.

[@TealOpal]

I didn't talk about the Ambassador because it specifically has a mechanic that reduces its accuracy for a second or so after each shot.

[@milliondollarmistake]

@@TealOpal Almost every hitscan weapon in TF2 has that. All the pistols, revolvers, SMGs, etc. The only exceptions are the sniper rifles. Even the miniguns and shotguns work on a similar system but that's a whole other conversation. The Ambassador is unique here though. So when you shoot any of the above weapon types for the first time your shot will be 100% accurate. If you fire again within 1.25 seconds your shot will be inaccurate. If you wait 1.25 seconds between shots your gun will be 100% accurate again. It doesn't matter if you shoot 0.5 seconds or 1.24 seconds after the first shot, you'll always be at maximum inaccuracy. The amby works differently. For one it only takes 1 second to become fully accurate, and it's only in it's "fully accurate" state where it can headshot. The other way it's different is how it's accuracy gradually ramps up. That means if you shoot at 0.8 seconds your bullet will be more accurate than if you fired at 0.4 seconds. It won't headshot either way but the spread will be tighter. It's probably one of the most accurate weapons in the game.

[@DangStank]

It really feels like the Loch just got worse versions of all the direct hits stats. DH has 25% bonus damage? Loch gets 20% and only on buildings. DH has smaller splash?
