[@Kjellbot]

I think the reason for a number of "hidden stats", like the Pomson doing less damage than the shotgun, is that it doesn't have 20% decreased damage. because it isn't a shotgun, it's an "indivisible particle smasher". the Pomson is not a shotgun that does 80% the damage of a normal shotgun, it's an IDS that does 100% damage for an IDS the name of the weapon type is often viewed as just flavour but i think that historically Valve has taken it seriously

[@ralphthejedimaster]

[@Kjellbot]

@@ralphthejedimaster exactly. there's no place in the game to look up what a "peppergun" exactly is because there's no way to look up what a shotgun does will they add more pepperguns? who knows. but there's a basic model of pepperguns to follow now, should they ever want to make more

yeah that is definitely a bit of an issue with how the devs approached these tooltips. Some of these alternative weapon choices like the Huntsman don't have any descriptions to this day, even though a lot of attributes can still be pretty directly compared to stock. Listing every difference might indeed be too much, but a basic summary of the weapon "type" up top wouldn't hurt. Including for loadout options like the buff banner which sacrifice the weapon slot for other tools.

I'd give the pomson reverse damage falloff on top of increased projectile speed as a way to secure its place as a longer range primary. Also one good thing about the pomson is that its great aim training for hitting direct stock rockets, since it has almost the exact same projectile speed with no splash damage.

[@thunderspark1536]

But isn't the point of the stock rocket launcher is taking advantage of splash damage as much as possible? Sure directs are useful but the direct hit is far better for that.

[@skadoosher7747]

@@thunderspark1536 anytime people are mid air or even just have high ground on you, you need to hit a direct or you do no damage. If want you want to play soldier at his max capacity with the stock rocket launcher or anything other than the direct hit and liberty launcher you need to know how to hit directs.

[@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413]

Heres my solutions Increase base firing speed to match stock Increase projectile speed to match the direct hit Make base damage 70, make maximim rampup 150% (105 damage) and maximun falloff 80% (56 damage) And remove the cloak and uber drain Boom its basically the direct hit for engineer now, it could be a good battle engineer weapon

[@thatcreepykid123]

@@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413 I think the problem here is that maybe the engineer shouldn't have a good long range weapon, with the addition of his sentry. I agree with the projectile speed buff, but if the engineer can fire upon a soldier spamming out his sentry from afar, it would make it even harder to drop a well guarded sentry nest. So I say the damage is fine, we just need the projectile speed buff

[@Bingo_Bango_]

​@@thatcreepykid123 Ultimately "engineer shouldn't have a good long range weapon" is why Valve broke the Pompson and never looked back. They're so nervous about the Engineer getting decent range that the Wrangler is your best option, and using the Wrangler requires not only shutting off your sentry's auto-aim, but the player being occupied at all times they're using it. I think even improving projectile speed would be a leap too far for Valve just based on how it works, not without matching the average DPS of the shotgun at longer ranges (spread AND falloff). If they're going to ever buff it again, they'd probably increase falloff to counterbalance any buffs and keep it useless.

[@Kronosfobi]

You need just two measly adjustments to make this weapon work. 1: Make the projectiles penetrate multiple enemies like Bison. 2: Add a special condition where projectiles deal mini-crits to overhealed players. Done. You have a weapon that is extremely better against medics and their targets but sucks against other classes.

[@nathanhays8696]

So, as some of you know, there is actually a Roblox version of TF2 known as Typical Colors 2. And I'd say that they actually made their version of the Pomson viable. For starters, the name of the weapon is now the Einsteinium. And secondly, they went with a whole new gimmick compared to the Pomson. The stats go as follows. + Does not require ammo. + On Hit: Reduces healing from all sources received (-23% to -50% for 2 - 6 seconds) and sets your target on fire for 5 seconds. - Deals 20% less damage to buildings. - Deals 30% less damage. - 33% smaller clip size. Healing effect is reduced over distance and duration is increased over distance. This makes it so that the Einsteinium has a base damage of 42 against players, and does a pitiful 9 damage against buildings. But fortunately, the Einsteinium is *hitscan,* meaning you don't have to worry about clunky projectiles. This is easily the thing that makes it 100x better than the Pomson. From my experience, the healing debuff never really comes into effect, but the fact it sets people on fire is a game changer. At max ramp up, you deal 63 damage. This allows you to 2-shot light classes even without afterburn, and can kill Medics if you include afterburn. This makes it a great weapon to use when playing offensively. But that doesn't mean it's useless for defense, as the healing debuff can make it harder for a Medic and their pocket to make it into your nest. Though personally I never got much use out of the healing debuff, (though that might be because there either aren't any enemy Medics or because I die before I get the chance to make use out of it), but it can help for things like Payload defense, where Medics are much more common. Considering the fact that it actually has useful upsides, is hitscan, and is a great tool for both offense AND defense, the you've got a pretty good weapon on your hands. As a side note, TC2 itself is actually a very good game that isn't just some Roblox knockoff to be made fun of. It has some nice quality of life improvements compared to TF2, (no random crits, no bots, consistent updates, etc). For those of you sick of bots over on Casual, or don't have a good enough PC to run TF2, then I would highly recommend it.

Why was 6 afraid of 7? It's a fairly common question, mostly because when people see 6 and 7 next to each other, it doesn't really make sense. 6 is large, muscled, and trained in multiple martial arts, while 7 is fairly average, physically, and short. However, 6's fear of 7 has its roots in childhood. See, 6 and 7 grew up together, and for a few years, they were best friends. But then 6 kissed 3, and they became childhood sweethearts. 7 secretly had feelings for 3, so 7 decided he needed to destroy 6 to win 3's affection. He started subtly, undermining 6 whenever possible with passive aggressive comments and compli-sults. But over time, things got much more insidious. 7 started messing with 6's performance in school, bringing down his grades and turning teachers against him. Even worse, 7 became great friends with 6's parents and slowly turned them against their own offspring. At night, 7 would sneak into 6's bedroom, and whisper depressing and hopeless things into his ears. Every time 3 was around, 7 would pants 6 and make fun of his genitalia, or try to body shame him in other ways. However, 3 was both smart and compassionate, and saw through 7's schemes, sticking with 6, trying to counter 7's psychological tear-down with compliments and friendship. Finally, 7 decided that he would never be able to win 3, so he drugged both 6 and 3, taking them to an abandoned cobbler's hut on the edge of town. There, he proceeded to torture and maim 3, forcing 6 to watch in horror, unable to do anything to save his sweetheart. 7 didn't kill 3, but instead, put her in a semi-vegetative state. 7 cleaned the scene of his prescence, then called the cops, having 6 blamed for 3's condition. 6 was sent to prison, believing 6 was guilty, 6's parents fell into a deep depression, eventually committing suicide over what they believed 6 had done. After serving 17 years of a 30 year sentence, and getting out on good behaviour, 6, now muscled and skilled as a fighter, thought he might get revenge on 7. But when he finally tracked down 7, he found out that 7 had installed a micro-bomb into 3's body, and should he be killed, the bomb would automatically go off and kill 3 as well. And though she was still in a mostly fugue state, 6 couldn't bring himself to hurt her any further, and decided to try and move on with his life. However, being an ex-con, it was difficult for him to get a job. 6 finally found employment at a diner, which 7 then bought, and proceeded to again undermine and toy with 6 at every turn. 6 tried to find employment elsewhere, but 7 contacted any potential employer and soured them against 6. 6 finally realized that no matter what he did, 7 was going to try and ruin his life, and he resigned himself to living as a broken, lonely man, never able to stand up to the depraved, amoral 7.

[@wubilicious4158]

This weapon has never made sense to me with it's gimmicky stats outside of 2 uses. 1. When this thing used to be a discount bison, it functioned like one, and was actually relatively good for the lazier or more chore-focused engineer. The damage was fairly good for what you could get at that range for Engi and what made it work was the piercing projectile, since Engi will more often be amidst or behind the majority of his team in most situations. 2. The cloak drain is a neat idea, I enjoy a weapon that makes Engi's job an easier one. It assists dealing with 1 specific nuisance to the class (like the southern hospitality) while being more different to other primaries. It being a projectile alone helps hit cloaked spies too.

@@muddashucka9743 you mean balanced they definitely balanced it right we should let them rework the weapons again cause they definitely don't nerf all the weapons to fuck with us cause y'all are big cry babies welcome to generic shooter #323774

when I've had a bad day i come back to watch this video, thank you for making this piece of comfort.

Me watching the video: wow nice video! 13:15 Lvl: 13 Exp 327/365 I feel as though life is becoming less of a loop. Im working out again, updating my discord server, even small changes like choosing to be happy! Thats all for now. >Save Game

Fire in the hole? nah. Buff. The. SPEED!

[@Boonetube27]

A good (in my opinion) point to balence from is damage, compared to stock, how much damage does it do, more? Does it’s downsides counteract that? Less? Do it’s upsides compensate? The family business does less damage, but fires faster and has a larger clip, being able to aim more shots means more max damage, but it’s not overpowered!

[@EerieGourd]

Random critting with the Pomson is one of the best feelings in the game.

[@MegaHellstrike]

I really like this idea on how to buff the Pomson! However, I feel like we should shoot for getting the projectile speed to 900HU :)

0:01 when you hear Dust Devil - D-Code, you know you’re in for a good time, and by “good time” I mean an hour long rant about a nonissue. Luckily, I enjoy that sort of thing.

[@Ploxtifs_OldAndDeadAccountXD]

While many people may cringe at that sort of thing, I instead, EMBRACE the lemon

[@ghostofmemespast]

I feel like if they reverted balancing to pre tough break update the game would be much better

[@theoneandonlysmith7685]

I got a random drop of the pomson while watching this video

[@dustykh]

The pomson can be good in a very specific scenario. As a battlements engie on 2fort, you can spam down the tight chokes all day and get spies to drop cloak

[@ravels700]

Or spam chokes with a friend

[@gamingmoth4542]

Ya talk about how sentries count as the "amount of damage you dish out" when the game decides whether or not you'll be given a random crit. So I'm thinking, what if this was rebalanced to be like a "Diet Frontier Justice". Every 2 or 3 kills (guess balance will decide which one is best) done with your sentry will give the player a guaranteed critical hit without needing to destroy the sentry gun?

[@penrose427]

believe it or not, you missed one hidden strat. the pomson's projectile, alongside the bison's, can light huntsman arrows. why I have no goddamn idea. this seems to want to be a support weapon but it's just too bad in literally everything it does to function as one. I know the joke is that the direct hit is the best melee weapon in the game, but if that's true than this thing is the single worst passive item in the game. even the gas passer is good in MvM, while this thing is just so conditional that you're better off with anything else.

[@sirstupid5857]

Love how the first clip of the history chapter shows the engi trying and failing to spam the pomson, noticing a spy, emptying the clip without hitting him once, and then proceeded to just gun him down in like two seconds with the pistol. Didn’t even need to do a voice over for the video, shoulda just show clips.
