The machina pierce is actually a good idea if you want it to be a building buster - you can shoot an engineer and the building he’s hiding behind on the same shot.

On hit: spy does not lose disguise 20% damage bonus when disguised 30% longer cloak charge time -50% ammo in chamber It would encourage a more aggressive spy playstyle, while still being risk vs reward. It would make YER better too, and would pair well with the cloak and dagger(since you can stand still so you dont have to worry about charge time) :)

The fact that you put Mista's theme "proiettile" in the background made the beginning awesome

"If you shoot someone while disguised, gain a X% damage buff for Y seconds." There. It's still super situational and basically useless, but now the fire-rate debuff is partially negated in that one specific situation and it's only MOSTLY worse than stock.

I find myself rewatching Bad Weapon Academy as much as Lazy Purple's "How it feels to play" series these are gooooooood shit, dude

The Sly Cooper background music was a nostalgia trip, thanks for that.

6:33 hey would you look at that, he survived with single digit health just like he said..

one thing i was surprised didn't get mentioned despite the other things being mentioned was; backline spy. like you said, spy sees enemy health, deals more damage with the enforcer while disguised, and ignores resistances. with that, combined with spy's role, i think this gun has an alright niche; killing enemies retreating to dispensers without calling the attention of everyone on the enemy team by stabbing and sapping. rather than attempting a suicide rush, you can more reliably kill people running away without dying yourself. to buff this specific playstyle more, i'd lower the damage falloff a little and/or give a boost to cloak a second or two after killing someone with the gun, giving them a quieter and faster cloak activation. lets you become a very dangerous thorn in the enemy's side, especially if you can manage and move around with cloak well.

"Hand Banana, I'd like you to meet, *The Enforcer* ."

When the Enforcer first came out, it was my favorite gun. It was good for spies that weren't great at being super sneaky.

I miss when this thing was just a slower stock revolver with big damage. I even got used to the weird spread of it.

2:44 i love how you shot the solider's arm and it was count as a headshot

Enforcer wepun best wepun what are you talking about

What if each Enforcer shot did increasingly more damage? Because, you know, the theme of the gun is striking hard? I don't know. I didn't even know Spies could see enemy health before watching this vid, and I've been playing TF2 for years.

The slower firing speed of the enforcer makes the bullet spread of the revolvers almost nullified

using Mista's theme in the intro is a god tier move

Old stat felt like a real gun, got lots of kills from it

Mista’s theme:*bumps in* Me: YES

Meta moment; my friend told me that she can see her teammate’s HP by changing something in advanced setting…unless you meant to see your ENEMY’S HP…meaning that you can pick up the weaklings….

damn, i never was aware that vaccinator medics were so rare, and im a vaccinator medic main.

“Why not just use the ambassador?” Two reasons: 1. I suck at aiming 2. The enforcer is a jojo reference

Personally, I’d replace “+20% damage when disguised” with “deals 20% damage when disguised” followed by “Firing this weapon doesn’t break disguise” That way it won’t overlap with the ambassador or Diamondback and instead be a versatile nuisance that allows you to finish off low hp targets without breaking disguise.

I love the Dimond back it’s my favorite gun, gives you extra damage for just doing stuff you should be doing anyway

give the enforcer +20% faster disguise speed

I'd prefer it just gies back to being an extra damage revolver. To compensate, what if it made all of your cloaking, sappers, footsteps, voluntary and involuntary voice lines, and shots louder? You'd be giving up subtlety and an enemy's lack of awareness for some good damage. Also, make it so damage falloff is a little more forgiving.

When ya gonna start Good Weapon Academy? Where you look at good items and explain how they could use a few helpful changes to become awful and unusable

Backstab range for the enemy spy: C Backstab range when I play spy: -

so you want us to use the Enforcer on Halloween like a week after the Halloween ended? :D

I like how he used a LazyPurple “How it Feels to Play Spy” clip when he was explaining about his back to the wall.

Make it give 8 seconds of bleed but reduce the bullet damage to 2.

This weapon lacks one stat: Bleed for 8 seconds

only 90’s kids remember when this channel’s name was FsoaS

its kinda poetic that the weapon that uses disguises is more powerful during Halloween

Fun fact: This weapon pierces the Dead Ringer's damage resistance when feigned! And it can pierce the fricking Vac's charge!

make it cause bleed on hit for 8 seconds

~~Bleed for 10 seconds~~ But seriously what about making the disguised shot minicrit?

"The enforcer is broken because I love pulling off trick shots with the ambassador." Can you imagine?

i believe the piercing resistances is a lot more powerful that people give it credit for, in times where you can't get behind someone's back because they have their entire team around them, you can just whip out your revolver and gun them down in a teammfight, bypassing their resistances and helping your team picking that target, ie: the battalions backup soldier of vac medic.

I have a fun rework for this gun: +10% damage for every teammate nearby (in about the same radius as soldiers banners) up to 200% damage with 10 teammates nearby. -20% slower firing speed -Weapon glows proportionally to how many teammates are nearby This would actually make spy a support class, helping your teammates capture, or defend the control point.

Man that's a lot of words for just a mere 20% slower firing speed

In case you're curious with what happened at the end of the video with the demoman stuck in the ceiling, when blue captures the 2nd point and gains their forward spawn, the door there isn't the rolling one you visibly see but actually an invisible block which moves up & down depending on if it's open or closed~ When someone on blue team opens the forward spawn door in the cave the block moves upwards, so far up however that it clips into that doorway above blue's spawn; causing people to get stuck or even die to the crush force~

you know what change this weapon needs just a straight damage buff. no extra gimmicks, no disguise shenanigans just a damage bonus

The first shot of every Revolver is 100% accurate then every other shot has that random spread, but if you shoot every 1.25s intervel that random spread does not exist

Glad to hear Sly Cooper music! Fits pretty well with TF2, interestingly enough. Nice choice.

Well, the way I see it the "goal" of this weapon is to keep enemies in check (it is called the "enforcer" after all) so any ability it could have could be about that. We already sort of see it with the damage pierce, so maybe extending that further and dealing more damage on enemies with resistance could be useful. Hm... what else could spy enforce?

oh so that's why that guy in the 100 crit server was sniping with enforcer in the corner

I would add 600 percent knockback while disguised to send the enemy flying so you can escape. I would want it to be like an emergency air blast.

0:10 hey, that's me!

My idea for an enforcer rework: +Pierce damage resistances +Ignore damage falloff -Ignore damage vulnerabilities -17% smaller clip size -No random crits The idea is that it's meant to be a perfectly consistent gun in all cases at a slight tradeoff to stock

Guido mista's theme at the beginning, nice touch

11:52 The elusive engineer gaming

2:36 Every first revolver shot is always on the dot, after that successive shots become less accurate

i dont know if im mentally damaged but i actually use the enforer at times

Reduce firing speed slightly more to -30%, give it a 10% damage bonus, and instead of dealing 20% more damage when attacking from disguise, make it minicrit when attacking from disguise (has damage falloff). If you kill the enemy with this attack you rapidly re-disguise as a random person currently alive on the enemy team. If you dont kill them, or you miss, then disguise kit and invis watch are disabled for 4 seconds.

The ambassador when it saves people from diamondback mains: Why are you booing me I saved y’all

Doing bonus damage against damage-resistant targets (incl sapper armor), removing the "damage while disguised," would be a pretty good change. It turns it from a weapon that's moderately good at a few somewhat rare cases and simply worse otherwise, into a weapon that's *very* good at niche cases. Or, someone mentioned doubling damage vuln; I think it'd be neat to see "this weapon takes advantage of any damage type vulnerability" on top of that. Sort of becoming a "the infiltrator sees your weakness and exploits it." Now, this would turn it into a pretty damn hard counter to FoS (3 shots to kill from full), so there would have to be further rebalances.

I'm just saying, I love it how weapons like the phlogistinator have actually received BUFFS whereas this, the overdose and the back scatter are just... cool models with perks that only further cement the beliefs of the stock is best crowd.

I think one of the best ways to buff this is adding an effect that "if last shot hit a target without damage resistance, weapon will fire faster by.." Maybe not +20%, because then it'd just be stock, but something small like that could help.

For those wondering: Music used at the start: Guido mista theme from JoJo part 5

The enforcer isn’t a bad weapon, per say. Especially in a competitive scene. As in Highlander being able to do good dpm on a fist of steel heavy or a wrangled sentry from afar helps your team in the long run

How to use enforcer: Step 1: press b when reloading Step 2 profit

well the enforcers single stat ignoring any shield effects can be the difference of winning and losing

Video: Enforcer a bad weapon Player: *Getting all the kills with it*

You know, I kinda miss the old Enforcer. I only see those downsides on the weapon justifiable if it would just do 20% more damage. Heck, sometime ago that extra damage worked in reverse from what it is now.

Oh man, I remember when this weapon was actually good. Good times in TF2

That Demoman at the end is like trying to get out by waving his legs

I think that the first shot in a magazine should let you STAY disguised

When this was first added to the game, it was super good. It just had 20% extra damage, which I believe was enough to kill weaker classes in 3 or 4 shots. You could blast people to death quite quick and easily.

Hell yeah! Love bad weapon academy! More ways to flex on kids in pubs! Would love to see Scottish Resistance next, I think it's underused but stock outclasses it so hard I've been using the pomson recently, it's rough but it fucks spies really hard and doesn't feel too bad if you stay within it's 60+ damage range when fighting... tbh with the projectile speed you shouldn't even bother using it beyond that. Feels great with the southern hospitality (and pistol for range) for an anti spy loadout if your team lacks competent pyros.

Me when I'm in an over-emphasizing competition and my opponent is FSoaS

The Enforcer: -10% damage done +25% damage against targets with buffs applied, and damage resistance +Pierces all damage resistance. Now it's an actual assassination gun

I'd love to see one on the gas passer. I'm not really sure what the point is, seeing that the scorch shot does the same thing, with no cooldown, and no requirement for them to take damage

Yo I've played games with Napalm sticks to kids. He's cool, very sticky.

This Video Made Me Bleed For 14 Minutes And 28 Seconds

Nice he went back and added the rebalance server to all his old bad weapon Academy videos good job

Forget Jojo, I hear that immaculate Sly Cooper OST

I use the VAC when I encounter good snipers, decent spies and medics with their krtiz rammed up the pootis of an explosive class (and when I'm feeling bad about my team's stupidity). Yes, I do take pleasure in blocking your headshots.

every time he says “welcome to” I think he is gonna say “team fortress 2”

*gets lots of kills with the ambassador* Fish: what a good weapon. *gets lots of kills with the enforcer* Fish: Some of my best spy killstreaks and this gun isn't even good. c'mon...

Basically, just rework the gun to rather be a surprise tool as much as it "enforces" defensive and offensive players to play at your pace. Players who have some kind of defensive or health boosting attribute attached to them will have the defensive boost be completely nullified (like the Sapper Armor) and also let it deal something like 10% all the way up to 50% more damage to overhealed opponents. Anyone who isn't under either of these effects will just be given a load more knockback, somewhere below "The Force-a-Nature", like maybe 1 point below it. This way, Spy can now force the opponent to take one of two choices. Either have a defense boost to protect them from the knockback or eat the knockback up. And wearing a disguise would boost either of these attributes while nerfing the other depending on the aforementioned conditions. See, this way the Enforcer can be good and give Spy an interesting gun. And maybe make it so that you at least have to take a few couple shots before the disguise wears off. And also apply a 10-15% attack boost when Spy is invisible, along with Damage fall off so the weapon gives Gun-Spy at least an option to be played as a scout, just with more skill and a bit of luck when your invisible. Heck, maybe even let it consume invisibility for the 15% damage. You can debate if this should stack with the 20% while disguised, I personally don't know seeing how it would only be a single powerful shot on one class, meaning that you would need to use the KO functionality of The Enforcer in fringe ambush/isolated scenarios where a little lamb strays too far from the safety of their herd, or maybe to take out specific targets with resistances, though aside from the fact that it would basically be a lot of good damage, maybe even converting it into something stronger than the Diamond-Back under certain scenarios, which would be kind of the point. You either build up for a single target you really want gone or you use it to shave off the defenses and knock the defenseless away.

Me: I like the enforcer because i cant aim with the ambassador, also i like my cloak ok thank you. * Crowd anger in the distance * Me: I shouldnt have said that, I souldnt have said that! Edit: to be honest, this is op for spies that can disguise very quickly and efficiently

tbh i love the desing because it looks like a detective special which is the coolest revolver in history

Make it mark for death when you do the disguised shot lol

Honestly, the Enforcer isn't even that bad. It actually pretty good. But just like the Le'trange it's completely outclassed by the Diamondback (I still don't use that because I'm casual as heck) ive actually been saved by the damage boost because no one expects it.

This is a revolver for me ,i almost never use revolvers ,almost never can score a headshot with the ambassador ,its just straight upgrade from stock for the damage piercing

The enforcer is good for bullying snipers with the razor back when you are not confident in your aim to use the ambassador

we should say it keeps the damage bonus if it was used within 3 seconds of a disguise being lifted

Bad weapon Academy idea, The Vita-Saw, or the Vaccinator, i would like to know why people hate Vax so much

Hey can I see the Gas Passer? It's my favorite pyro secondary and I wish it got more love outside of MvM, it kinda lacks in effects so maybe you can do a combined episode, of Pomson and Gas Passer since they both are kinda lacking?

I like the idea of the Enforcer being the weapon to use when you just want to go Gun Spy. Maybe it could have something like a stacking damage bonus like the Bazaar Bargain. Every kill you get with the gun, the damage increases 7% up to 35% after 5 kills. Keep the slower fire rate but a skilled and determined Gun Spy could eventually have a pretty powerful hand cannon. OR a stacking crit ability. You have a counter that goes up every time you land a shot and at 4 shots landed it deals a mini-crit. If you miss a shot it resets the counter.

"Well its not good, its just not quite as sh't as you think, A gun is a gun afterall"

In my country is 4:45 am PERFECT HOUR

Idea for Enforcer: +While disguised, you can shoot 6 times before losing disguise +Your shots are invisible for the other team +You gain 3 gauranteed minicrits after backstabbing someone +Spycheck-proof: When having The enforcer in hand and being disguised, Particles of any damage DO NOT show up and spy doesn't say a word. This still damages you, but they won't see it. If someone runs into you, they pass through you, but you lose all your minicrits. Trick doesn't work if anything other than gun is in your hand. +Every 12 minicrits change into 1 crit. -20% damage penalty -Reduced Invisibility time -10% more damage taken while disguised -No random crits I think It's good idea, not sure if balanced well.

+ 20% damage bonus +shots pierce enemies -shots are loud? - 4 total shots per clip This would make it carved into a situational last resort against enemies that sus out youre a spy at least. In most other cases the ambassador is a straight upgrade to the base enforcer but with this it at least keeps random crits and a damage bonus so if youre not so confident with those headshots you could swap out to this.

This gun is used pretty commonly in competitive Highlander. Resistance effects come into play pretty often there (especially wrangled sentries) and you only really need the revolver for one shot - the last one to finish off a low-health enemy, in which case the extra damage while disguised can slightly improve your ability to get that finishing blow.

I'm a simple man, I see a video posted under a minute ago, and I click. Thanks for the great content!

Cmon I was looking gummy bear

Another funny niche the enforcer is good for was during the zombie infection game mode where heavies had damage resistances and would one shot you, so keeping distance was vital

fish ; hit headshots for damage or do less damage me who cant aim: welllllll

Does anyone have tips on how to aim better plzzz
