TF2: How I Got 1000 Kills As Sniper With ZERO Headshots

My condolences to the 1000s of people who fell victim to the power of my Machina’s fully charged body shot. This is by far the biggest project I have ever undertaken, it was something like 100 hours all up, so I really hope you enjoyed it.
Special thanks to @ShorK for joining me in hell, my friends for keeping me sane throughout the process and @Fishtank. for his quick cameo.

Okay it seems I need to clarify something, but at 8:02 I say “FUCK OFF NECROMANCER” which was the dude’s in-game name. I understand this SOUNDS like something bad, especially because I said I had a “heated gamer moment” before it, but there was infact no slur slinging from elite level gamer elmaxo. Apologies for any confusion. Edit: Also the percentage chance during Day 5 was incorrect, as the number he gave me wasn't multiplied by 100 so it was ACTUALLY an 0.00344326% chance.

So I think I figured out what happened. The demoknight shied bash does a small amount of knockback, so the "flinch was actually elmaxo physically moving. The spy must have been overhealed or kunai-ed, so the shield bash makes his screen shake, causing the shot to pass through the box trot spy, who survives with a few health, and into the sniper for a penetration headshot

28:22 When a demoknight's charge is interupted (e.g. running into a player or wall), it will cause the nearby area to shake a little, effecting your aim. This shake from what I've experienced isn't negated by the cozy camper, leading to your accidental headshot. I could be completely wrong though, this is just from my experience in game.

[@comrademuds1951]

yeah. cozy camper stops damage punch, bot other forms of knockback or what have you

[@duckduck4073]

@@elmaxoTF2 When doing loopable taunts, the game thinks you're just standing still, however your hitboxes still move with where your model actually is. It's why when doing the boxtrot or any taunt that shrinks your model, bots have a hard time hitting you in the head. Or it could have something to do with how the game determines if a shot was penetrative based on if it hit another player's collision hull or not. I suggest asking around more.

[@tbotalpha8133]

Theoretically, under absolutely perfect conditions, you could complete this challenge in just barely over 5 minutes. Imagine you're on a 32 player server. Lets assume that all players are Snipers, the teams are balanced, and the player will only ever fire full-charged bodyshots. The player can get 16 kills in one shot, thanks to bullet penetration. 1000 / 16 = 62.5, so it would take about 63 such combo kills to reach 1000+. Lets also assume the enemy players all respawned instantly, in a 16-man line, and the Sniper could aim and fire down the line as soon as their next fully-charged shot was ready. That gives us 1.5 seconds between shots, and 3.3 seconds to reach full charge, giving us 4.8 seconds per full-charged shot. 63 * 4.8 = 302.4 seconds. 302.4 / 60 = 5.04 minutes. From this basic napkin math, we can conclude that Elmaxo is padding for time.

[@endmark_3447]

My best guess for what happened at 24:49 is that it wasn't a flinch, but rather the screen shake from the demo's shield bash that moved your aim. This shake is felt by everyone who's close enough to the demo, regardless of whether they're actually damaged. Looking at the slow-mo replay, you can see that the shake rapidly moves your crosshair's position relative to the spy, both vertically and horizontally.

Being completely honest, this is probably my favorite weapon challenge I’ve seen on KZbin for tf2 due to the fact that it strays away from the typical challenge formula, that being, doing the same shit for 48 hrs in game and getting minimal outcomes until it is finished, this video separates itself because of the apparent growth taken upon to reach the goal of the challenge, and analyzing failures to reduce said failures, albeit slowing the challenge it employs a level of though not given to other challenges I’ve seen where the skill involved is more often just the fact that the individual KZbinr has the privilege to play the game for such an extended period of time without drawbacks as likely the channel in question is their job, as seen with the 10,000 kill challenge also done by Elmaxo, it is just a testament to the freedom that having a job as a KZbinr provides and detracts skill from the equation when looking at the fact that, for most of the challenge, he had multiple pocket medics and was utilizing the phlog + scorchshot on top of having theroretically all the time in the world do it in each day allotted in the 7 day limit.

your background music choice is always phenomenal, hearing nuclear throne was a suprise.

[@connortremblay1259]

At 28:30 It's actually really simple what's going on. There's a bit of a quirk with how tf2 handles these sort of "close calls" where depending on server lag two people could see different outcomes (i.e. the demoknight smacking you before you're charged, but for you there's a 1/20 of a second delay where you're charged and then smacked. It happens with close call ubers too.) these sort of mix-ups would cause problems where one person would get one result (i.e no flinch or successful uber) but another person would get another result (flinch or dead medic), then once that information reached the server, the conflicting outcomes would cause a crash. Two different things can't happen at once and the server didn't know what to do. To combat this a programmer at valve wrote into the code "lul get fuked" which analyzes the current situation and does exactly what the player with more to lose doesn't want to happen. In this case it saw all the kills without a headshot and the constant resets upon getting a headshot and so it flinched you into that snipers head. Hope this helps.

For the demoknight clip, it stores sheild bash data for a sec befroe using it, so he hit you when you were at like 90 - 99% charge and the screeen shake happened when you were at 100, because it uses a small delay for the data (0.3 seconds)

@@bootlegsanesss why

[@fate5083]

Its opposite for me

[@Teh_Duck]

Im pretty bad at sniper aswell, recently im trying to get better at flicks and overall headshot accuracy but bodyshots in general are always easier and viable. If your target isn't a demo, soldier, or heavy, you can still 1shot the remaining 6 classes. Anyway good luck professional with standards

[@twin_towers_destroyer]

You’d get even worse, trust me.

[@BulletWithWings]

Fucking hell, midnight as I'm watching this and you add a fucking knock sound affect. You got me, Elmaxo, You got me good.

[@AlextheLordofFire]

Why didn’t you just use the Sydney sleeper? It can’t headshot to begin with, and it has a faster charge rate which makes it easier to kill snipers on body shots.

[@elmaxoTF2]

Well that wouldn't be any fun, now would it?

[@vatiguana1046]

Question is: wouldnt this be easier with the classic for its no headshots when not fully charged stat?

[@extraordinarykiwi9827]

No because you’ll have to hit them two times (unless fully charged but then what’s even the point of it)

[@wonderofu4794]

no, the classic deals less damage on bodyshots

[@ForTheOmnissiah]

With that mentality he might as well have used the Sydney Sleeper.

[@Rockonmydude]

I have a seizure every time I play sniper causing me to miss everything standing still

[@SpecialAgentCake]

Small correction at 34:59 : It's not a 0.00000344326% chance. The odds are (79/80)^1000, which comes out to 0.000003444326-to make that a percentage, you have to multiply it by 100 first. That's still a VERY small chance-0.0003444326%, which is a (roughly) 1 in 290,333 chance (in other words, in 290,333 attempts, you should expect the outcome to occur at least once). It's a pedantic note, but I personally love math and just wanted to clarify the actual odds. The hours estimate is about right-just note that the number used isn't the guarantee for when it'll occur! It's just the number stating when you should expect the earliest reasonable success to occur. A _guaranteed_ result would take on the order of 1,000,000 attempts or more (using a binomial probability), which is ten times that in hours. Note that _guaranteeing_ a result takes far more tries than the first expected success guesses. These factors are why probability, in general, is so difficult to contend with

[@user-vi8pm7pz1e]

But you are wrong also: if he, on average, resets the counter every eighty kills, that DOES NOT mean, that the chance of reseting is 1/80!

[@SpecialAgentCake]

@@user-vi8pm7pz1e that's literally the math used in the video lol. Besides, while any individual chance is different, the point of an average is that it _averages out._ You _can_ simply assume it to be 1/80, because of how many trials there are. All of the math is pointless anyway-humans cannot so cleanly be broken down into simple chance, due to unmeasurable factors such as gaining skill in a particular area. Or, as we very much saw, "just being more careful." But none of those aspects were the point of the math. The point of the math was a worst case scenario, using idealized circumstances. No different than when you assume no friction, or no heat losses, in a physics problem. Getting caught up in the little details is, at best, not useful. At worst, it's bad faith. Either way, it's best served as what it was: "what's the worst case scenario, assuming perfect unchanging conditions?" That's what we got. Just figured I'd note that he messed up his presentation of the values received.

[@edwinleechuanhao]

Could you please explain why the hours estimate is right? I would have thought 290,333 would be the minimum trials required to succeed.

[@jonhdoe4119]

@@user-vi8pm7pz1e Yes it is. For a Bernoulli distribution of parameter p, the expected value is equal to p.

[@tally9542]

39:00 A lot of us play video games for social interaction and ridiculous circumstances. Having the opportunity seeing some random gamer, pausing their whole rampage just to eat a sandwich I threw on the ground. Giving me a little happy crouch thing before going back to murder. That gives me far more dopamine than killing that enemy gamer. Social interaction is one of my biggest pleasures, TF2 is just a medium for it.

Man, real-talk, that strat of 'invisible spy to shoot through' with the Machina is like, low-key genius as a defense in a duel with a really good sniper - 'cause you basically have the ultimate bait defense if the Spy is willing to take it for the team.

[@andyrajendra3103]

I've always found fully charged bodyshots to be more satisfying than headshots. The charge up is rewarding

[@Jasiuc330]

It is because headshots especialy in tf2 are done mostly in blink of they eye meanwhile fully body shoots feels like real sniping. You just sit in your camp patiently looking for your pray and then must take perfect shot kills + Machina fully charged sound

[@viket8316]

I love bodyshot with classic scouts like why i would waste a full charge to headshot a 125 hp class or burning soldier on the air
