The reason the caber is so Finicky is because the explosion is centered on the demoman himself and not the target. Also I think the caber will do more if the Heavies were also crouching due to how explosive radius dmg is calculated

[@demi-femme4821]

Oh my fucking God. No wonder a small nerf made it almost impossible to one-shot light classes.

[@MineNAdventurer]

@@demi-femme4821 Yeah, how explosions work in tf2 is that they create a line from the point of impact to the center of the player's model. With the caber they made it where the explosion spawns at Demo's feet (directly at the center, probably so that it makes it a perfect half sphere from the ground centered on demo) so that means the detection line has to go farther than it should.

[@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413]

So does the cabers explosion mostly do 75% of its damage due to fall off? That would explain why it can only rarely one shot light classes. If thats the case, then simply raising the explosion damage to 80, and minimum fall-off to 90% would solve the issue

To me, Demo is technically the most powerful merc gameplay wise able to deal a flat 100 to every class in one shot with his base primary without any boosts, only comparing to sniper with 150 with a full charge bodyshot and 450 crit headshot with the regular rifle. One sticky can instakill scout sniper spy and engie which is huge, and he is able to buff his defense with shields and peglegs if he chooses to. He can also fly through the air easier than soldier can as well as pyro to an extant, making this tower of power a flying carpet bomber with insane mobility. He also doesn't require a direct line of sight to kill people or destroy nests, no other class can do that except for engineer's sentries and pyro's flares. Technically he could kill people across the map as well not just with traps, but with crossmap noob-tube style sticky or pill launches. On top of all of this, he has created multiple playstyles to work with, demoknight, demopan, stickytanks, hybridknights, sniper terrorisers, and even the elusive weebknight. Not only is he the most powerful merc potentially, he also has some of the funniest dialog and absolutely the funniest taunts. Monoculous was created from his own eye showing how important he is to the series, and finally, I believe he has the most endearing and tragic backstory for any merc with the whole abandoned at an orphanage to then be adopted back to his parents, working 3 jobs for his depreciative and very cruel family which led to his drinking problems, turning his entire body into a brewery and losing his best friend over a haunted sword just to name a few. You can have any opinion you want but to me Demo is the best.

[@airhead7379]

I think he's still weaker than scout, but not by much. Scout has extremely high damage which is a lot easier to utilize than demo. Scout also has really good mobility that doesn't cost health to use.

@@airhead7379 Scout is good at taking down unaware enemies and flanking, but becomes less and less useful the more fortified the position he is up against and can be basically useless against a sentry nest. Demo on the other hand has a lot more firepower that is very effective against fortified positions and is powerful in basically any other situation. Of course a Scout could quickly take down an unaware Demoman who is not with his team, but with how quickly a Demo could take down a Scout means that things could quickly go south for the Scout if he doesn’t take the Demo down quickly

What if the heavies ctapped on top of your head as you hit them with the caber? It would definitely increase the damage dealt by the caber since they're closer to the explosion.

This is probably near impossible to pull of even in a sterile testing environment but nice food for thought.

One way to test the damage more accurately in game would probably be to make each Heavy’s max health something like 100,000 so that they don’t die before receiving max damage.

A quick note on demoman sticky physics the game calculates how much damage the sticky does by how much damage from each sticky is needed to kill the nearest player and nearest player is not necessarily at the highest of the priority list, because if the player is near the radius of detonating stickies the player will gain priority and then the game will calculate how much damage from your stickies is needed to kill you, so even though all the stickies register hit the game registers how much max damage each sticky can do to you and eliminates the stickies it doesn't need to kill you

[@anitabath8315]

Can’t wait for heavy to barely beat out pyro because he can only damage one person at a time.

[@LaserBread]

The reason the sticky jumper deals damage is because it's a reskin of the stock sticky launcher. The game just takes whatever damage the stock sticky does and multiplies it by 0. The most likely reason is that if Valve were ever to change the knockback of the stock launcher, they wouldn't need to change the sticky jumper because the jumper would just inherit the properties of stock.

[@dubloomcarried552]

with the stickies, i feel the multiplication math is very dependent of which powerup/crits take priority. the order of decimals and numbers might be different depending on if the mini-crits, the crits, the warrior spirit vulnerability, or powerup take priority first or last when calculating damage in game

Meet the Scout Released January 9, 2009 Run time 1:35 We begin with Faster Than a Speeding Bullet playing in the background, with a Garage door opening revealing RED Scout and his teammates about to ambush the BLU Team. Preparing for the battle, as the camera moves from right to left, Scout studies the scenario, on where their opponents are. He then reloads his Scattergun as his teammates charge in. He then joins the charge, dodging several bullets. After using his firearms, we then skip to a cut to where Scout rushes into a building on a railroad, with a BLU Soldier and Pyro tailing him. Just as he jumped to cross the said railroad, a Train quickly barges in and hits both BLU enemies. After which, it cuts to the familiar 'Meet the (Class here)' Intro, and then RED Scout respectively, shows up to assess the "interview". He describes how dangerous he is, as he opposes a Heavy for his Sandvich. At the end, he ends up killing the Heavy with his steel bat, winning the battle and eventually eating the Sandvich. It then cuts to the usual Team Fortress group photo, in which it zooms from the specific Mercenary's face.

The Loch n load actually does have rolling grenades, sorta. If the grenade explodes in midair due to its fuse running out, the explosion has the same base dmg (60) as all demoman primaries after their fuse runs out, whether midair or after touching the world. The stock and iron bomber's projectiles turn from 100 to 60 base dmg upon hitting a surface. Since non-direct hit pipes are pure splash dmg, just like stickies, thus never do full dmg, out of 60 its like 58 max dmg and half the base dmg at 30 at minimum So all grenades that explode on their own including the Loch do 30-58 dmg with no rampup or falloff

[@lefthandedscout9923]

6:20 It's very easy to beat this value of 4995. Just go to MVM Mannhattan, and get a crit with the Half Zat on one of the Samurai Demomen there. You'll hit them for their 650 max health tripled then tripled again for 5850. If you're playing Metro Malice wave 1 that has a part with 2 giant soldiers with 3 Uber medics each while 3 samurai Demomen attack you. If you separated one of these Uber medics, via airblast, then killed everyone else in its squad while it was separated, it might heal one of the Samurai Demomen, in which case it could get it to 975 via overheal, which can get to 8775 damage from the Half Zat.

[@connoralcorn5874]

Actually, I think that the Spy would come in 2nd place using the stock sapper. The sapper deals 25 damage per second while on an enemy building, and the rescue ranger can repair buildings but doesn't remove sappers. Therefore, against a building that was being constantly repaired by an engineer using the Rescue Ranger, the sapper could deal constant damage until the server crashes - about 6 months according to Shounic, giving the sapper a maximum damage of ~388,800,000 (6*30*24*60*60*25)

You're thinking of the way sticky's work when in range of the Demo who placed them.

Since the Demo is ubercharged, the sticky's cannot kill him and will all detonate as normal.

[@alanw1775]

The Loose Cannon and it's double donk is a bit weird. The cannonball impact has no close range rampup but still long distance falloff. The cannonball explosion has no rampup or falloff, just like other grenades, and has the same base dmg of 60 as all other grenades that explode without a direct hit, after in the air for too long or after hitting a surface. If the explosion hits an enemy who was just impacted by that same cannonball up to .5 seconds ago, the explosion will both minicrit and have no explosion radius falloff to the recent impact victim. This makes the Loose Cannon the only explosion radius weapon in the game to not suffer from explosion radius falloff, save the soldiers grenade taunt. However, this does not work with crits, or minicrits, the game doesnt think you double donked someone if its already a crit or minicrit. Therefore even if its a perfect double donk, the crit/minicrit explosion WILL suffer from normal explosion radius falloff after impacting someone. And the crit/minicrit impact damage falls off over distance, like the ambassador, and unlike all other weapon's crits. The damage falloff of the cannonball impact is somehow different from all other weapons. The range at which the minimum dmg (25, half of base 50) occurs, so maximum falloff, is a bit longer than all other weapon's max falloff range. Found this when testing on tr_walkway_rc2. All other weapon's dmg at max falloff is actually a bit more than 50%, wiki says 52.8%. This explains rockets at max falloff doing more than half base dmg. The loose cannon is the only weapon that falls off to 50%. The cannonball has a hidden unlisted attribute - projectiles penetrate enemy players. shooting someone who is low enough to die to the 25-50 dmg impact, the cannonball gibs the player, and keeps going as if he wasnt there. However, if the impact victim survives the cannonball impact, it bounces off at a weird angle, and before it touches a surface, it can impact another player. The subsequent explosion will then double donk all impact victims. So you can double donk multiple people if they stand close together. But if theres two people standing near each other, and the demoman impacts and double donks one guy, the explosion will minicrit and have no radius falloff on the guy it impacted, but that same explosion will deal normal dmg with normal radius falloff to the other guy who wasnt impacted. So the same explosion can have radius falloff and not have it at the same time, on different targets. So, the double donk explosion always does 81 damage, a minicrit roller with no radius falloff essentially, combined with the impact dmg of 25-50 to 106-131 dmg. Covered in other videos is that the cannonballs are a different projectile with different physics that suffer from more air resistance when flying. All projectiles in the game except rockets, arrows(includes crossbow and rescue ranger), and energy blasts from pomson, bison, short circuit, start slowing down to air resistance the instant they're fired. After they nerfed its projectile speed and added range falloff its a pretty weak weapon with a short range. It has the shortest range, and by far less dmg of any gl, unless every shot at maximum rof is a double donk. Even then its barely more than any other gl. It can knock the enemy away which can be undesirable when trying to kill them. Seems like its purpose is to allow the demo to apply controlled and reliable roller splash dmg. Since roller dmg (60) is less than rockets (90), direct pills (100), stickies (120), with the cannonball impact being even weaker, this weapon is never used in comp now like the scottish resistance RIP Loose Cannon 2012-2015 i miss it from that time, even tho i never used it throughout that time

[@strredwolf]

Stumbled across your Hi/Low damage series... and I may have an explanation why you're getting odd calculations: Fixed point math. I'll pose a question. To a computer, what is faster: floating point math, or integer math? The answer is integer math. Floating point is complex and requires different processing and tracking... and that's slow. Even with a coprocessor that handles this, it's still slow in comparison. So how can we get the speed of integer math but some of the benefits of floating point math? Simple. We make everything shifted over a few decimal places. Fixed point math. You lose precision but you gain speed. So what's with the splash damage doing 1 when it should be doing 2? Fixed point rounding errors. I bet when you cut off all but the first two decimal places, you'll start getting rounding errors... and the "math" lines up.

what if you hit them with a grenade and detonated your stickies at the exact same time? would that count even though it's 2 different weapons?

[@maxresdefault_]

This series should be renamed "Heavy Abuse

[@TheRealLenin]

"Hoovy Abuse"

[@Dark_Slayer3000]

The half zatoichi could deal more damage in MVM fighting a giant robot using that weapon. On wave 666 I believe it can do 7500 damage? I don't remember the exact health of the bots.

[@spacecactus6946]

NGL, I'm surprised you didn't use one of the mvm bosses for the stickies (with no upgrades, of course). Granted, I can see why, as it wouldn't be as easy to fully test. But if it were possible, you could set up a custom giant heavy bot with 1 million health with the warriors spirit. Not entirely sure if someone have mentioned a similar thing like this before or not, but I figured I might share this, just in case

[@mangus8759]

Hey so as far as the weird inconsistent damage values, most weapons in the game have random damage spread meaning if the base damage of a weapon is 100, the actual damage is going to be 100 +- about 10 so the math doesn’t always line up

[@SquimJim]

That was removed in the Gun Mettle update

[@Gon-hx4df]

You have timed it perfectly so that if somrone tries to skip 10 seconds during the NordVPN link, they end up in the same place but in the second reading of the link. I thought it bugged out and didn't skip lol

[@getshrekt6933]

could you try doing these tests on merasmus or monoculus, might be interesting

[@capitainfishface258]

That segway into the ad was smoother than my brain

[@RiskEndeavors]

Glad to see those powerups come to good use :P

[@hunlepto2239]

What the, I never knew that you have to be close to the stickies to ramp-up their damage. Who the actually hell made the stickies in the game to give it such a stupid mechanic? Did they just copypaste the rockets' ramp-up?

[@SquimJim]

When the game came out they actually had the standard 150% ramp up. Which was just about as bad as it sounds.

[@sharko3211]

Quick question about Stickies, what about MVM? You can get damage % and the amount of stickies you can place upgraded. So if you got a maxed out Scottish Resistance (With ammo and firing speed upgrades because ramp up) how much damage would you do then? Idk how these upgrades would stack up against the strength and mini crits, but I do know you can crit all the stickies with a Uber duration upgraded Kritzcreig

[@dipwob]

what if you fire the loch n load upwards and the pill expires the furthest away form the heavy whilst dealing damage?

[@kingbib0fbubyt377]

I can't wait for Heavy to get revenge for all the many times you have killed him in these videos

[@marcowulliampopirers2216]

video starts at 1:20

[@Im_very_hungry]

Cant you go further with mvm upgrades? With a scottish resistance i could do enough for the hit sound to echo infinitely

[@Nevan_Nedall]

with SR, if you lay the first 6 bombs, reload, then lay the last 8, you may have more who's ramp up has not yet expired. Im not sure how that math works out, had you considered it?

[@AverageShotoMain01]

Love the music choice in this video

[@rcv1216]

Is it possible to just give like a heavy like infinite health and then after you damage it they just kill bind and that way you can get the damage number to the exact

[@riotowa]

The problem with the sticky numbers is that if the Demo that launched the stickies are in range of them when they detonate, the game only calculates how many would kill the Demo, detonates that amount, then the rest would basically fizzle out not dealing damage.

[@SquimJim]

Being Ubered negates that.

[@riotowa]

@@SquimJim Super sus

[@jvbutalid8316]

be careful not to get indigestion; you're running as soon as you finish breakfast, we get worried

[@todeaa]

i am now terrified of the scottish resistance

[@KomboKaz]

Me watching this before I ate breakfast and staving: *interesting*
