What If Reskins Were Different? - TF2

Really interested on what you would do with spys sapper reskins, considering the quantity and the theming of each. Awesome video! I always love your editing

[@DannyCheezits]

festive sapper: instead of sapping the building it does an AOE freeze effect that effects nearby buildings and players for 4 seconds, preventing them from firing and slowing them down by 45%, allowing the spy to backstab the engie and get some shots in on the sentry. Kinda op but it doesnt help at all when there is no sentry or engie present and requires you to freeze the engie when he isnt by a wall otherwise he can just back up to it and wait for your freeze to run out (you can still shoot him, but 4 seconds is not enough to gun down an engie and a sentry at the same time without a perfectly timed disguise), not to mention it would also have a 20 second cooldown like MvM sappers apsap: i never beat portal 2 so i dont really know what wheatley does that is related to a sapper bread bite: destroys the buildings signficicantly faster (20%?) but it emits a really loud gnawing sound, and anyone on the enemy team can destroy it instantly by shooting at the building. High risk high reward, since you'll be able to take down nests significantly faster and get back to stabbing bad guys but enemys can easily fuck over your nest takedown by shooting a single bullet at each building

[@davisdf3064]

ApSap: After 3 seconds of sapping, the building will have its core changed, Wheatley will take over and make the building work for you. Downsides: Sapper can be destroyed in one hit (two hits for the Jagger) Does not damage buildings Wheatley talks a lot

you got the compound bow confused with a standard bow. Standard bows require more force to draw than compound bows, the latter provide support for the string to allow the user to focus on aiming instead of on holding the bow in tension. This is likely why valve decided to make it a reskin in the first place, since a compound bow is essentially a direct upgrade to a standard bow and would make the huntsman obsolete.

[@theitalianmexican1035]

Well Valve wouldn’t just make it draw faster and then call it a day. There would obviously be a downside that would make you think about which one you want. What downside it would have, I dunno, but I know it wouldn’t just be a direct upgrade to the Huntsman just because irl compound bows are objectively better.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

Just make the window to knockback projectiles a lot shorter than airblast to increase the difficulty so it's not OP.

[@SpiderKoloPL]

I had pretty much same idea! Tho to add my 10 cents to it: Reflected Projectile should be also a lot faster to reward players actually reflecting said projectiles. I can see this weapon being used as an alternative for Pyro mini game where you can reflect homing projectiles as Demoman: With this weapon, you could ramp the projectile speed a lot faster for enemies in exchange for overall more difficult and challenging game for you.

8:50 compound bows are actually a bit easier to draw (if the draw weight is the same) than most traditional bows (longbows, recurves etc.) and plus they are easier to hold at full draw than said bows, so the fortified compound should have a stat which makes the bow unsteadiness when holding the arrow for too long negligible. The slower charge time also doesn't really make sense from an archery perspective as that would depend entirely on the poundage of the bow and strength of the user but its a decent enough balancer.

[@_alish]

Please, tell me what would you do with the C.A.P.P.E.R or the Lugermorph. I am so interested, as a scout main.

[@charlotte_8814]

lugermorph: you become a nazi capper:infinite ammo but you get shit aim

[@BottleWaterson]

@@charlotte_8814 the lugermorph change would more likely make you 2 feet shorter and 2 times as volitile

[@RubenGarcia-eg6mi]

Lugermorph: Increased damage but a slightly slower fire rate and also takes increased knockback when weapon is out. I went for these because I was trying to base the gun off it's source material.

[@Emery_Forde]

Lugermorph: Longer range drop-off but a longer but cooler reload

[@Emery_Forde]

And the capper infinite ammo and it pierces

[@lorenzpacis3249]

That joke about the Three-rune blade is great. kudos!

[@Templarfreak]

11:03 i have i think a better idea for this. make it like, an opposite Cloak & Dagger. So instead of being a more patient slow-paced weapon it's more fast-paced like the old Dead Ringer was. so something like: +15% movement speed while cloaked. +Cloak and uncloak 15-25% faster. +Cloak is restored in some way, like maybe through backstabs (not max) -15% cloak capacity or 15% faster cloak drain. -no cloak from ammo packs -15-25 max health on wearer -no damage resistance while cloaked

[@BritishSoldier-kr9xf]

Snack Attack: *Snack attack animation would show it eating the sentry* Has a cooldown of 5 seconds *The engineer would have to have to repair eaten parts costing 20 metal* eight seconds until it destroys the sentry *The Snack attack eats only 25% of all rockets and ammo* It also gets bigger the more sentries you sap

[@spameron7575]

That's just a worse sapper? It does no actual damage, costs less to repair, has a cooldown, and takes longer

[@Nemcat7]

capper stats would be so cool it’s a frimkin laser pistol what more could i ask-

[@JohnnyofTheSevenSeas]

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

[@ziqrsx]

i really wish scout got a dr gordbort pack, i want a laser shotgun on the scout it would be horrible but fun

[@maninhu9837]

The scout knight could do a small jump that when landing would do area damage, it could be activated in the air and diferent swords could do different hings like cover people with milk or piss, maybe even bleed damage

[@yoboinebby7841]

The Nostromo Napalmer change sounds really Intresting and it would definetly make for a more different flame thrower, along the line of the dragons fury. And less ammo feels like a much better downside comparade to an airblast penalty.

[@tf2gamingenjoyer388]

+50 health for scout is pretty op combined with the damage bonus even if you’re restricted to medieval weaponry. Only really heavies you’d have more trouble with which i guess sorta balances it.

[@TomSaywer]

guys did u know that weapon reskins have always been a strange case to great blue

[@SentientTent]

For the compound bow, one of their quirks is that the draw strength decreases at full draw due to some funky levers. So I would remove the fatigue loss of aim when you hold your draw for more than 5 seconds or something. Fits with a machina esque full charge centric nature too.

[@Connorses]

woah, this is weirdly familiar

[@danieljestice4500]

Haha it's the funny phrase 0:00

Weapon reskins in TF2

[@JAIBADRIVISHAAL]

WEAPON RESKINS IN TF2 HAVE ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE A STRANGE CASE TO ME

[@Thebritishhistorian]

I always thought the Quäckenbirdt should have a reservoir mechanic where you can pick up metal and over-load the watch for increased invisible time, the trade-off being when you surpass being cloaked for 10 seconds (Standard Inviswatch time) your footsteps become loud quack sounds. Whenever you deactivate and become visible again you lose all reserved metal. So better cloak but only at a long distance while still being able to mess with your opponants.

[@flyingbowlofsoup5842]

5:00 new update will come with a new sound track "Sticky jumping wattz"

[@blacklight683]

4:50 oh my God its perfect this is what every demo main wants I want this in the game I was saying I want something like this long time ago

[@bathtubboi8188]

2:58 W+M1 is no more. S+M1 is supreme.

[@zenithzv]

What a fine gentleman. I wonder what his thoughts on Weapon Reskins in tf2 are...

[@Kidneydiseasegaming]

11:06 speaking of kidneys

[@jeka_stolenko]

9:20 +25% on jump height would let spies to just jump on top of players without an incline. This would be horribly abused with stairstabs becoming your everytime kills

[@hamaczech13]

Recently found your channel and I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work!

[@gabortoth3642]

12:00 that song oh yeah really nostlagic

[@pantuternik]

Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a normal case to me.

[@monkeymurder5073]

So I have been questioning a lot of things about tf2 weapons, like the compound bow and why it wasn't different, and just earlier today I saw the quakenbirdt for the first time and got really confused why it wasn't different from stock, and this video clarified some things for me (except the reasoning of not changing things between weapon reskins) and I wish this was in the game.

[@ashtongiertz8728]

2:44 what if the flame particles were smaller, or it fired flaming liquid instead of flaming gas, resulting in an arching stream of fire that splashes on surfaces.

[@CyanPickle]

1:35 We do have two other melee subclasses being the bear heavy and pyroshark (there are probably more but I can't think of any)

[@bardofvoid174]

Oh yes, thank you, I was so dissapointed when I learned that the fortified compound was just a reskin rather than another bow with different stats

[@anthonynguyen2661]

I would like to add "Wet particle effect removed while cloacked under water" for the Quackenbirdt

[@ashtongiertz8728]

10:57 what about the more obvious qualities of ducks; they can fly and their feathers are lipid (meaning they can't get wet). Perfect for vertical mobility and maps with a lot of water.

Weapon reskins

[@TheEepyMagi]

the scottish handshake stats made me realize how much i want unique bottles. imagine a whiskey that you could throw akin to jarate to set enemies on fire, something like that. you could get really creative with some different kinds of alcohol.

[@someonesbread]

I feel like their should be a video idea of what if every weapon had a new reskin

[@Defensive_Dwarf]

The origin point…

[@PrivateGeneralMansi2.0]

i was very intrested to learn that, Weapon reskins in TF2 have always been a strange case to Great Blue.

[@Ewgene]

There is no reason to give demo even more air strafe control. He's already literally the most mobile class and sticky jumping comes down purely to skill

[@claytopolis]

For the duck watch, id give it the ability to perform a super jump of sorts, something equivalent to a flare jump. you can only perform this by pressing the fire button when cloaked and it consumes 45% cloak per use. as a downside you are flickering whenever you are airborne, and any hit you take in the air will be a mini crit.
