For those who don't know: The Dragon's Fury's projectiles are Off-Center. For whatever reason they're going towards your upper left area of the crosshair, and the best way to use it as of now is to use improved crosshairs, which has a custom crosshair built for it.

And the damn thing is also just overpowered to the point where it's just unfun, like all the skill that goes into playing medic is just flushed down the toilet in favor of playing support huntsman, like it's not OP in the sense of "RTD Soldier who just rolled Powerplay and just single-handedly causes the opponent to teamwipe with guaranteed crits and invincibility" because that has a dopamine rush to it. The crossbow is just "Oh cool I have an offbrand huntsman that instantly heals a teammate to full health if I hit them with it." It completely shreds Medic's medigun balance to the point it ruins the entire class, like why bother spending braincells to pick the best medigun for the situation if I can just have a quickfix in my primary slot? The crossbow feels like a crutch for bad medics who can't keep their team alive but are too in over their heads to switch to the quick-fix but done so poorly it's the only viable option for the slot.

One the main reasons why I ( and many other people ) enjoy using the Beggar’s Bazooka is the barrage mechanic. The ability to just delete players in just 2 seconds is just unmatched in the ridiculous amount dopamine you get. My second reason why I enjoy the beggar’s because it literally allows you to rocket jump USING THE AIR MOLECULES with overload jumping. Finally in Soundsmith’s own words “How are you suppose to dodge rockets if even the soldier firing it doesn’t know where it’s gonna go?!” TL;DR: Sniff glue and go on a rampage with a kritz medic.

Dragon's Fury -- and especially when paired with Scorch Shot -- does more damage, shoots faster, has more range, and hits more people than *_ANY_* Degreaser combo *_EVER_* did.

Don’t forget you can actually kinda combo with the dragons fury surprisingly, you just have to do it differently. A video called “how to fight every class and win with the dragons fury” told me that the scorch shot can let you set up easy combo hits from the scorch’s flames. (You can use any flare gun, the but the scorch just lets you do it the easy and still combo from it). Alternatively you can use the panic attack to squeeze it extra damage like the degreeser + panic attack for power classes. It also lets you have a tool to deal with enemies relatively okay if you mess up an airblast or two. You can still combo with dragons fury, but it isn’t the focus.

For the beggars, IMO the downsides can be quite location dependent while the upsides are always insanely strong. Sure when you're grounded in a flat open area it's impossible to be consistent with your shots, but that's already the environment soldier should be trying to avoid. Find the right ledge to stand on or corner to camp... Suddenly you have a virtually unlimited stream of rockets flying down the chokepoint faster than you could with stock and with the option to do an insane suicidal burst of damage when the opening presents itself. For the downside of not being able to immediately fire, it really just comes down to game sense of where enemies are gonna be and preloading your rockets around corners. Sure you can always theoretically be caught out from some weird angle and have to wait a second to fire, but you can just as easily catch enemies out by firing 3 rockets at close range into their face in half a second, punishing them even harder. Bazooka isn't always *consistent*, and you have to accept the risk of a really bad life where all the shots aim as far away as possible; But think of how strong soldier already is in close/mid range enclosed spaces, and then functionally increase his reload speed(for streams of enemies) and burst potential(for group attacks), and you can imagine the bloodshed in extended fights, far beyond what any stock soldier could handle.

The Dragon’s Fury is so worth practicing. I’ve had a professional killstreak one for about half a year now and it’s my baby and I love it. The crazy thing about it is that it takes Pyro’s losing matchups, Heavies and sentry guns, and *makes you win them.* You don’t even lose that much against Pyro’s other matchups either, you just have to be smarter with your airblast. If you can hit your shots, which, to be completely fair, is *really hard* to get used to, Pyro can straight up kill any class, anytime.

It seems like you're looking at these weapons from a wanting to win perspective when a lot of the weapons you talked about are just there to be fun instead of objectively good. Like the loose cannon just exists to give you a dopamine rush, the holiday punch is just funny taunt kills the weapon, the FaN can launch enemies into obstacles or off cliffs for funny environmental kills, the lucksman lets you play the lottery while playing TF2, and the beggars is like if a random crit was turned into a weapon plus the ability to just fly. They're all there to just mess around with and have fun, not to pubstomp. The eyelander though can be frustrating to use when you're dying a lot and the entire point of the widowmaker is to reward accuracy and good meatshots on a battle engie so if you like chip damage it is just going to be a worse shotgun. I would say the boston basher though is just objectively bad though because its only real use is hurting yourself to jump (which the atomizer just does better as you said), and if you want to build uber just have a soldier shoot himself in the foot.

Granted I'd say on more "Objectivity" that each of these has their own balance quirks. The Beggar's Bazooka is basically designed in such a way that it gives up every kind of consistency available in exchange for some potentially stupid burst damage through 3 rockets coming out in the time it would normally take 1. Though then the shot deviation was added for the extra flavor that this thing is actual trash. The FaN was built with high damage and knockback as a core feature, that the enemy will take significant damage if you hit them, and then either be halfway across the map where they can't fight back, be thrown off a cliff, or smack a wall for the combo. The Huntsman is a weirdly balanced design of basically hitting both ends of the skill spectrum at once. The arrow hitboxes are wonky enough that you can get away with some "luck" but you also need to lead your shots enough to make it work in most situations. It also has a sort of Squiffer design where it's designed to take the long range weapon class and make it something that can flank and play much closer to the action.

Well, the thing with the FaN knockback, as some people (perhaps those in the comments, even) have said, is that it truly is something you work around and focus on utilizing, not put up with. Like, do I use the extra push as a makeshift jump after achieving both prior for quicker or sneakier maneuvers, or do I save the shots to push an enemy away from their intended path? If the latter, am I gonna do a quick stuff with both shots, follow up with a pistol barrage or Flying Guillotine hit before/after, or line up a Wrap Assassin bauble or a prior-launch Boston Basher hit to make them bleed out and have to prioritize a Medic or healthkit over going back to the front line? What if they're near a ledge or environmental hazard, would it be better to focus on those as well? Sure, I'm probably exaggerating, but ultimately my point, coming from someone that more often uses the gun than any other Scout primary, is that the FaN earned its status as a sidegrade cause it focuses on utility and multi-purpose application, rather than practicality and straight up shooting a guy dead.

This sounds less like working around the weapon and more so putting up with a bad relationship and saying “Oh my partner is fine. I am the one that needs to change for them.” so you can avoid the consequence of realising that the Mr. or Ms. FaN, that you have spent so much time with, is an abusive partner. Edit: Do I need to clarify that I am not being serious with the bad relationship analogy? Also my reason for disliking the FaN in my opinion is its stats contradict one another, not because I hate alternative play styles. I elaborate on this better in a comment below as well as compare it to two other weapons that also vary how you play compared to stock.

@@slysamuel5902 I mean, no? Most unlocks in TF2, even a couple of the bad ones, have a specific use to them that you learn and manage, why is the FaN any different? Because it does something _somewhat_ different to Scout's playstyle? Answer me what exactly makes it different from the Dragon's Fury or the Loose Cannon, two other weapons in this video that're fundamentally different from Stock and a couple other regular unlocks, cause I can really throw your argument back at you by saying you're so conditioned around what the other primaries have taught you that you're not willing to learn something different and get frustrated as a result. I said I more often use FaN, I also swap it out for Soda Popper which has essentially become my second main, and Stock when needed, and use Baby Face when I essentially want to fuck around with a bleed loadout. I adapt to each one when something calls for it. FaN isn't supposed to be an inclosed shooter like the Stock or even SP, it's again supposed to be a tool used to push opponents back from away the objectives and/or frontline in order to mitigate their force. It also sounds like you're just, ignoring the fact that Scout has secondaries, when I already mentioned them in their use, as well as how the pistol is a decent alternative to any sort of mid air combat, keeping the dodge/jump aspect without ruining the momentum that the FaN can do when facing an enemy below or above you. Finally, where the hell did I half-lie and say it does better damage than Stock? I never once implied that, I literally just gave out tips and scenarios that could theoretically be enough to make an enemy near-death by the time they're pushed far enough back. Did you just, make up a counterargument entirely to make a point everyone knows about? So, no, I don't "need to seek help". It sounds like you need to either respect people's weapon loadouts, or "git gud". Sorry I like to play differently, I guess.

@@blazingwaters7469 Well for a non-joke response, I did not mean anything serious when I said it was like a bad relationship. That was a joke metaphor I was using in that comment. As for the unlocks you mentioned; with the force a nature, the thing that makes me view it as bad is not that it changes how you play, but it’s stats contradict each other. The extra pellets and firing speed but lower damage per pellet makes it seem like a good close range burst fire weapon. But going for meat shots knocks them really far away. You can circumvent this with 1. Secondary weapons; but why not use a primary that can do 200+ damage faster than 1 FaN shot + cleaver/mid-range pistol bullets? 2. Using inclosed areas; why would you do that as the class reliant most on open areas? The weapon does not have a stat that helps you stay alive better in those restrictive areas. 3. The crit a cola; if you can stomach the downside of being marked for death then I guess, but you still have wait for it to recharge when you could kill faster with other primaries during said downtime. I feel like I have to use it in very inconvenient ways unlike the dragon’s fury. The fury also changes how you play, but it is good due to its stats working together to support that altered play style. The higher dps, range than stock, as well as it firing projectiles work together to make it better at single target offence, rather than force you to because they contradict each other. The loose cannon is not equal to stock (though I would not call it bad, to me it’s right below good) since you would probably have better dps by with two 100 damage pipes in the time it takes to charge one double donk, and it’s not as good with sentries. That said its stats do not contradict each other, forming a natural alternative play style. Though most people really just use it for fun (btw if you use the FaN for fun too while acknowledging it probably is not that good, that is completely fine dude. I also do that but with the loose cannon and some other stuff). If I could fix the FaN, I would remove its damage penalty, and either remove its knock-back all together or make it so that alt-fire changes it to a “double fire” mode like real life double barrels can be changed to shoot one or two shells at once. This mode would not increase damage, but it would have the knock back to enemies and user, which I would remove from “single shot” mode. This way no stats conflict with each other, you get to be a burst damage scout without the need to worry about hitting the next shot. Good weapon (I hope), fun alternative play style. Though if you think it doing 126 damage with 12 pellets is OP, then swap that stat with the soda popper’s faster reload time.

@lonelyshpee7873 Жыл бұрын
Surprisingly, I happen to really like almost all of these weapons, so I guess I'll give my take on each: 1. FaN: Not as good as the soda popper, but really fun regardless. The knockback can be a positive sometimes, but I agree that it makes you unable to fight while in the air. 2. Beggar's: You really can't use this weapon like it's stock. Sure, constantly firing without reloading is cool and all, but that's not what you're using this weapon for, is it? You're using it to vomit rockets like a lunatic. And to do cool rocket jumps. It's a really fun weapon, but you have to embrace its inherent randomness. 3. Dragon's Fury: This thing is a beast in the right hands. It turns pyro into a true offense class that can shred through enemies with ease. You need good aim, though, and it takes practice, but it's really worth it. And don't bother using airblast with it. 4. Loose Cannon: Ah yes, a fun gimmick weapon that is really hard to use and extremely hard to master. It has really high highs, but much lower lows, so I understand why it can be frustrating to use or put any time into. Then again, I'm a Spy main, so I don't have any problem with it. 5. Eyelander: 100% agree with what you said, actually. However, if you're just messing around in, say, a 24/7 Hightower server, then a lot of the stress is gone when there are no stakes and heads are easy to collect. 6. Holiday Punch: Not really a weapon you should ever use seriously. Heavy doesn't have any use for his melee, so his best melee options provide utility. This thing can get _some_ use if you're the type of heavy thag likes to flank enemies. The times when it's useful are very niche, but when it works, it fucking works and creates some great moments. 7. Widowmaker: Sure, you have to discipline yourself to make each shot count, but it allows you to play really aggressively and output a fuckton of damage without stopping. Really fun, once you get rid of your bad habits. 8. Lucksman: Yeah, it's inconsistent... I'm not the biggest fan either, but I appreciate its existence... 9. DR: GunSpy. Use it for GunSpy. You don't need to MLG trickstab anyone. Just use it for GunSpy, or at the very least a more gun-oriented playstyle. I just love how aggressive you can be with this thing, but it takes an eternity to recharge. I mean, I'd take the current version over the pre-nerfed one every day, but I think it could use a _slight_ buff. Very slight.

It's because it has no counterplay. You can cleverly predict soldier shots, perfectly time crouch jump to surf the blast away, airblast knowing exactly where he's aiming, or even just small things like moving away from the obvious target zone to slightly lower damage "oh, better not stand near this dispenser, he's bombing". Meanwhile with beggars you cannot predict his shots, even HE doesn't know where he's shooting. Meaning you can't surf the blast. You can't airblast knowing your target line. Often he's spammed enough rockets that you couldn't surf or airblast anyway because they'll kill you first. If you're on a dispenser and a beggars soldier bombs you, you're better off literally not moving because there's nothing you can do regarding his aim and therefore dodging, so it's best to get the most out of the dispenser while it still lives. Absolutely stupid. But the weapon is so weird and annoying to use that thankfully it's not a problem. It's like the vaccinator. Absolutely disgustingly overpowered, turns any fight with a medic into a chore, almost impossible to counter without changing to stupid classes like demoknight and scorch shot spam. But it's complex enough that basically noone uses it so noone cares.

Well, to give a few pieces of my experience with the Beggar’s Bazooka, it may not be the most viable or consistent to use, but it’s definitely pretty fun and creative Mainly because I used this a lot when I play Soldier, for me, it’s good at damage, decent at cleaning up large groups (if you’re careful or with someone), and often works wonders when hiding/going around corners (or literally anywhere out of plain sight), as you can reload your three rockets and unleash hell to whoever you meet as a surprise attack. There was also this one time that involves a Scout prancing all over the place, and when loading up the Bazooka, the first or second rocket hit him (with the other missing), but as he was dodging it, I have to like flick my mouse to aim at him, and managed to him on the spot Overall, wouldn’t say that my words here are proof of why the Beggars is actually good, since my taste in weaponing consists of either gimmicks or just brain dead fun (like the Brass Beast for example). But I respect your takes here. Great video too, mate!

With the beggars bazooka, you have insane mobility whilst having essentially infinite rockets with the occasional 3 fast firing rockets. The downside of inaccuracy is annoying but is mitigated when you have so mich mobility that you're always close to them. If youre always preloading then you'll never get caught off gaurd and if you know how to beggars jump properly (and not just overload jump with all 3 rockets) you become a jet that drops several nukes per second. You should check out sirky or blind pyro to see just how crazy and fun it can be.

The key to loving the loose cannon is to aim for your opponents' head and to engage them at sticky snipe range. This tech maximizes double donk likelihood and forces you to improve your aim. But it is a very meme weapon that I only ever use on high tower. That said, putting in the time on the loose cannon can be very rewarding. Another good tech is to aim for the feet of heavier targets. Send them flying for fall damage or pop them up for an air shot. Sirky made a whole video about this.

5:06 I know this is really old and probably won't be seen, but I've been using the beggars for a while. It's insanely fun to rocket jump with. it's mostly learning timing and flicking your shots instead, it somehow helps more with preditction. Also you can store 3 shots in the chamber with a taunt loop, which is actually a good strategy for saving yourself or setting a trap. You can double/tripple wall-jump in one go hugging the wall. Another neat trick is if you let your rockets reach 4 and turn behind you, you can blast jump which will knock you forward, flicking 180 back ahead, you can let go of the other two rockets to pogo before they explode. now, I'm not saying you have to use gunboats with the beggars, but it drastically changes how vital jumping is in gameplay. you can well time a sync rocket to land with you while you already have 2 stored up from falling from the map cieling. I'd highly recommend giving a look at BlindPyro on youtube, the trashcan gives the soldier wings.

The Force a Nature is my go-to primary alongside the short stop. it's a really tricky weapon to use that requires a bit more awareness of your own movement, sure. but it also has some really mean tricks up its sleeves if you haven't learned to do force jumps yet i HIGHLY recommend you practice them. to me, they unlock the full potential of the weapon and give you so much more technicality. You can get nearly a rocket jump's worth of vertical with none of the self damage. One thing I love doing when fighting soldiers his force jumping straight up, ideally away from any walls. this does two things; it forces them to go for an air shot to hit me if they want to gain advantage in the encounter, and it prevents my next shot from pushing me around, allowing me to make full use of my double jump and air strafing. sure you have to reload it after the first shot you actually use to damage someone, but that's more than made up for by the time you spend airborne, and used properly you should be reloaded by the time you land. It's also scout's best escape tool by far. even soldiers will struggle to chase you around if you're abusing force jumps to make it up and down tall ledges and walls. on maps like suijin, you can exit one of the doors on the point, force jump and then double jump back and immediately be on the upper level, which makes it basically impossible for most classes to chase you. it's a strategy that's insanely strong on any map with any verticality (which is basically all of them) because it gives scout access to most of soldier's routes for flanking and retreating you're going to take longer to kill people than with the soda popper, but the soda popper is an unbalanced piece of shit anyways so I don't consider that a fair benchmark; it literally has higher DPS than stock and the ability to fly. Using the force a nature is about rewiring your brain to move around the map with M1, and be aware of every bit of map geometry you're not looking at, much like a soldier

I feel like if I was the one to make the list, I’d stick the Most Hated Medic Weapon on there to be the Vita-Saw. Granted, it’s not so much hating it as it is “realizing that it’s simply not as good as Medic’s other melees,” but it’s the closest I can manage. In summary, it’s basically just “Eyelander-Lite” with the whole point of punishing you upon missing fitting in here as well, albeit to a smaller scale. Granted, the bonus is only “per hit” and not “per kill,” which makes it at least slightly more negligible, but Medic is much squishier and less damage focused than Demo. You really should be only using Medic melees as a last resort most of the time because of this and 10 less health on the class with the second-lowest maximum health pool just makes him that much easier to kill. And if you do manage to get a cheeky hit via sneaking around, then props to you, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with the weapon itself so much as skills, timing, and/or luck. You could easily do that with any other Medic melee without the 10 health penalty because on top of being a super squishy Herr Doktor as it is, that 10 extra HP might just save your life if you could get out fast enough. But more importantly, you’re just more-likely to spend a few extra seconds waiting to respawn, and that means your team has a lack of primary heals for that much longer, and it could even ruin the game if you needed an Ubercharge at that time. “A dead Medic is a sad Medic.” -Dr Lalve (The Medic Guide)

I love using the widowmaker in what I call "the nowhereland grind" Where I use the jag, build a lvl 1 sentry at spawn so I can have 200 metal when I put the sentry down again, then go somewhere and put the sentry somewhere near the battlefield and in the range of the sentry but far enough away that no one actively notices you, build it fast with the jag (which is every so slightly faster than unboosted minisentry) and then just walk at the enemy team. It works surprisingly well, you just have to be very good at finding Nowhereland.

As a Loose Cannon user, I can confirm that we are all about dopamine. The moment that someone equips the Loose Cannon is the moment where they transform from a crowd control and sentry buster class to a single target powerhouse. This weapon is not for the passive player, but for the flanker. Although I have about 2000 hours in the game, the majority is from practicing with the cannon fodder, so my hitscan aim is affected greatly. It could be told off as a skill issue, but if you have the hang of slow projectiles and picking off key targets, I’m sure you’ll love this thing. For a secondary, you could cover your bases with the Quickiebomb Launcher or use the Tide Turner with the Half-Zatoichi after lowering someone’s health with a Donk. Also Great Blue, if you ever get the chance, do a Donk!-ilation. Seriously, a weapon that has high knockback and burst damage is sure to impress the Demoman Space Program. Heavies and medics are by far the funniest to see take off.

As someone who loves the beggar's bazooka to death, I like going fast and bombing people out of nowhere. Also it is unreasonably good in instant respawn servers and I will not make any other attempt to justify using the thing, I just like it. Also I agree with the eyelander point, it sorta pushes you to play like a black box soldier.

One of my favorite uses of the Loose Canon is for hybrid knight. Got a scout trying to run away? Blast a canonball down that hallways he's trying to run down and uh oh! He can't go down there anymore without getting hurt! So what does he do? Runs right at you, leading to an easy charge kill. The loose canons ability to lock off escape paths make it one of my favorite area denial tools in close scenarios, almost like a wackier iron bomber in that sense.

I kindof adore the beggar's bazooka. For wide open maps, I like to jump around and bomb groups of enemies with the conch as a secondary. No clip reload means no awkward pauses inbetween jumps like on the airstrike, and the conch means I can do much more of these jumps without cratering whilst jumping to a healthpack spot where aforementioned health pack is already taken. And for cramped maps like good ol 2fort, it is a must have for corner peeking that vax medic heavy duo. And also just in general. Maybe a skilled player doesn't really care about some tryhard in a pub with a moderate degree of skill, but there's such satisfaction in whipping out the beggars soldier when the same stickyspam demo blows up your level 3 sentry for the 8th time.

I do sometimes use Beggar's Bazooka and it kind of can be used if you use a shotgun as your primary weapon? Like, primarily using a shotgun and taking out the bazooka when you know there is/might be a crowd of enemy players behind the corner - like that 5:01 I like loose canon as long-range spam only - I mainly take it when I play "combined demo" - loose cannon + shield + sword

I use the beggars because it lets me turn my brain off when I play payload. I can just spam M1 at the floor and be rewarded. Even though it shines on defense, I can still use it well on attack. Loading the beggars before blindly turning a corner actually gets you more kills than you might think, especially when you combine it with the conch/backup, where you don't need to worry about switching to a shotgun every now and then to preserve your rocket clip. Not to mention it does well against an airblasting pyro, due to the fact that they don't know when you will release your barrage. (plus airblast cool down is slower than firing speed of barrages) Basically, if you know what you're doing, you can be the front-line of your team spamming banner buffs and rockets down each hallway.

I'll admit that I was a pub pleb, but way back when, I bought a strange professional killstreak Beggar's Bazooka (I named it "The Clutch Crutch") that I grinded all the way up to "Hale's Own," and even though I never did any fancy rocket jumping tech with it, I'll try to explain the appeal and niche. The best, fastest way to define the Beggar's and explain is its niche is that it is a rocket launcher blunderbuss. If you try using it like a regular rocket launcher and fight in open areas at medium to long range, you are going to have a _really_ bad time. However, if you use it like a single-fire shotgun, staying in close range, in enclosed areas, where the spread on the weapon is negligible is where the Beggar's performs best. The Beggar's has the fastest attack interval of any rocket launcher in the game (0.24s), which is even faster than an airborne air Strike (0.28s). So if you load three rockets up, round a corner, and fire, for 3/4ths of a second, you are unleashing the firepower of three whole Soldiers, all by yourself. So to reach the fullest potential with this weapon, you want to maximize the amount of times you can generate that scenario; when you know where the enemy is, are in an area where you can safely load three rockets before coming out of cover to fire, and at close range in enclosed spaces where the weapon's inaccuracy doesn't matter as much. The Beggar's is one of Soldier's best options for clearing out Engineer nests at close range, as you can open with a three-rocket barrage and then keep up a steady steam of fire. The Beggar's shines on maps like Barn Blitz and ESPECIALLY Dust Bowl, so if ever you're struggling against a particularly hard hold to crack or push to quell (which, let's face it; if you're playing those maps, you will be), give the Beggar's a try. Funny thing is, you actually have a moment that the Beggar's is best suited for at 5:01, ironically while you were whining how "idiotic" you think the weapon is. If you still don't get any enjoyment out of using the Beggar's like the siege-breaker rocket shotgun in PvP, take it to Mann Vs. Machine. The Beggar's is both Soldier's most powerful _and_ cheapest to upgrade rocket launcher, and it's not even close. Another unlisted stat of the Beggar's is that it has the slowest reload speed of all the rocket launchers to balance out it's highest firing speed, but that also means it benefits the most from reload speed upgrades. For maxing out reload speed for only $800, you _double_ your DPS, and since you don't need to buy firing speed upgrades, you can dump all that money straight into damage upgrades. Maxing out clip size in conjunction with a crit canteen or a Kritz Medic will also give you one of the most powerful crocket barrages Soldier is capable against giants and tanks, and you can even mostly annul the "No ammo from Dispensers while active" downside by activating your banner while resupplying, which with the Beggar's jacked up DPS, you'll be getting much more often. I don't know if you'll ever read this, but if you do, I hope it gives you a newfound appreciation for the Beggar's Bazooka. Man(n), all this TF2 talk is really making me want to play the game again...
