lets go fish getting that bag

No

Nahhh ive seen the gameplay bruh i aint buyin dat shit 💀 do not compare it to yakuza

There's no battle pass or micro transactions so I'm not buying it

Unironically a pretty good game, ad approved

Elmaxo "Ok, now you die."

I like Elmaxo, but wow does he have bad opinions about that gun.

@@HurricaneBadyno

@@HurricaneBady Nah, his video on the Direct Hit was mostly joking about the Reserve Shooter

@@HurricaneBadyThe direct hit also deals mini-crits to players how where thrown in the air. So you can just shoot peoples with another rocket to deal more damage. Though to be fair to Fish in some of his clips he was out of rockets.

bison moment

and bullets.

Melee.

They should give it the Shortstop's spread

@@efftee as a point that was made in the video, that would overall, over longer ranges decrease the damage, due to the wider spread over stock

​@dextra_24703 it would in casual servers, since random bullet spread is on and that makes guns way less accurate than they otherwise would be. But with fixed bullet spread it's fine.

My idea would be tighter spread and it reloads passively when stowed but reduce its ammo carried.

I thought random bullet spread was still within the boundaries of the gun's spread... Does it actually just. Completely rabdomize everything but the center? Because the way people discuss it has me wondering if pellets like, go backwards 1% of the time or something.

Especially pump action shotguns

@@SatherianI’m actually a bigger fan of multibarrels, but whatever the type, a shotgun’s a shotgun.

Quake 2, F.E.A.R. and Blood are the peak of shotguns in FPSes.

@purplehaze2358 Fair, multibarrel are classic and weird variations on it (quad barrel) are cool

I love shotguns in lots of games, specially in H3VR but I despire them in Hunt Showdown

I almost feel like Stock needs a spread buff in general and all the others should follow from that, but that's just me

Suwako

@@FamilyTeamGaming So true.

a small 10% accuracy buff would do wonders.

@@hawkticus_history_corner Scout too since I can't hit meat shots at all.

Nice Adachi pfp

I thought you already left 🗿

@@atomnum9True!

Panic Attack is now just better than it. They need to give it a niche for Pyro to atleast give it a use.

These days I feel like it’s a good counter to rocket jumping soldiers for pyro

@@pyroman4554 Especially since pretty much every Demo and Soldier sticky/rocket jumps nowadays near constantly. I see so many people doing crazy rollouts now, its wild. It's way more common now that the game's pretty old.

👍

If you just want a nice, safe option, isn't that what the stock shotgun is for?

The Backup putting in the fucking *work* lmao

I use it HEAVILY for ammo management. Running out of rockets before you run out of enemies is functionally a death sentence for the second slowest class in the game on foot. Not to mention the first rocket being a slower reload on top of that. One rocket, one or two shotgun shells and most things die and I still have 300~ damage in my pocket to use in case of more targets. It makes sustainability in a direct confrontation much much more reliable with the extra 360 damage you have on the side. You go from 360 in rockets to 720 with shells on the side. Making things like fighting combos or multiple enemies much easier on the math side. Not to mention making jumpy scouts easier to swat, Pyro GamersTM easier to engage and giving yourself much better options in very close quarters fights where you very well blow yourself up as much as the enemy. In summary; I can’t even use gunboats anymore, I feel so damage choked.

I like the switch speed

On soldier and pyro it's also an anti-vaccinator tool. Yeah, it doesn't do anything magical but if you're stuck fighting against a vaccinated enemy combo you can at least wipe the smug grin off their faces and make them either take big damage or force them to pop a bullet bubble in addition to the blast or fire bubble that they assumed would be enough to kill you.

Weapon names that are indicative of their intended function? Is that even legal?

It's because the honourbound mechanic is so punishing on soldier and so negligible on demo. If a demoknight doesn't get a kill with it he'll probably die anyway but on balance demo is far more likely to get a kill with it if he commits, whereas poor soldier can be cucked out of healing by a teammate and then be stuck running to a health pack or spawn with only his melee and become an even easier target. Why even fish probably can't defend it is because they serve different purposes for each class, sustain for demoknight, and last resort heal for soldier, but the stats make it antithetical for soldier's purposes. Honestly I think it needs an escape plan/equalizer scenario where the weapons are split, use the bloodied version for soldier and give it more useful stats and keep the original for demo, but also preserve the duelling mechanic. If it were to be kept the same weapon I think change the healing to 75% of missing health to make it a good sustain weapon but not OP, and remove the honourbound mechanic in favour of a short speed boost on deploying (capped so it doesn't benefit demo) and a speed reduction after the speed boost ends (again capped so it doesn't punish soldier) unless you get a kill. That way it doesn't benefit demo with insane kill-chains, but still punishes him if he messes up, it provides a benefit to soldier but he isn't punished as hard for missing or getting cucked. Whilst it may seem like a straight upgrade for soldier I'd argue it'd still play second fiddle to the escape plan and market gardener. If that's too complicated then I'd say replace the take 50 damage for being marked for death for 5 seconds, but that's less interesting imo.

@@captainweekend5276 honorbound only goes into effect if you don't get a kill, it'd make sense to treat the HZ as a finisher to give you the health buff on a weakened opponent like a 3x shot heavy or a 2x shot demo, or just 3x HZ melee any light.

It got a semi revival with VSH mode. As long as you can keep landing swings, you will overheal and become very tanky. And with bat's backup, you can facetank hale and continue swinging at him. I know this barely counts but hey, at least it's viable in one game mode.

I do use it on Soldier, but it's mostly because I have a weeb loadout to be fair... It gets some sort of redemption with the concheror's charge though. It's absolutely brainless and does require the element of surprise. But every now and then it works... and hilarity ensues.

Zatoichi + conch is actually super fun if you can get it to work. You can blow the conch then bomb in on a lower health class, softening them up and bringing them closer to you with a rocket shot behind them, then use the zatoichi to heal back the health you lost in the rocket jump. If you are overhealed from it you can then continue the chain until the conch buff wears off. It’s all in all a fun unique strategy

or you could change the upside to when a target is in the air, for any reason, putting some pressure on the enemy to make sure they stay with their two feet on the ground, but of course for such a versatile upside, a general downside should go with it, such as -66% clip size instead of -33%, making it extremely detrimental for longer combats

@@Bnvnu God no, when it used to be mini-crit on any airborne target it was stupidly busted.

​​@@ShakerSilverIn the video, airblasting a rocket into a Reserve Shooter combo works, but it needs an explosive class on the enemy's side. I think an airblast from the Dragon's Fury specifically can work, though. It has a 1.5s cooldown, yeah?

@@SyRose901 on the dragons fury specifically it would be more viable to just shoot again instead of airblasting, since it deals such high burst damage (for pyro standards lmao)

@@SyRose901 I know about airblasting a rocket, however it's not reliably in the pyro's control.

any idea what's it about?

Was wondering if anyone else noticed that. Some big OOF energy.

Yes tf2 maker valve is known for its small and lower budget compared to other AAA like call of duty 4: modern warfare

@@Internet-Resident Did....did you not watch the video?

@@Satherian Most people just skip sponsorship parts in youtube videos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe your total confidence comes to 20%.

Liberty does well with all shotguns, like giving them a 1>2 punch while still having splash damage (looking at you Direct Hit), having more rockets in a clip sustains your fights longer, faster rockets mess with pyro's airblast pattern alot on top of having to deal with bullet damage from panic attack or reserve shooter, and as a bonus, you can actually rocket jump without fucking over your health. Fr, it's underrated and skillful

I keep saying this!!! And it doesint have that awful wide bullet spread like the Panic attack! I use the reserve shooter all the time on Soldier

Panik attack supremecy

panic attack fans when 7 of their 14 pellets miss and they deal 30 damage (fixed spread doe!!!) @@trashmand

I really don't understand why more people don't use it. I rarely see it used by others meanwhile i don't even bother touching the other shotguns, that combo damage is too lethal and basically uncounterable if you have good rocket placement.

​@@sneshi657890 dmg from the shotgun vs 110 dmg + random self damage from the rocket launcher That's why

Soldiers are extremely common, soo yeah It's not like the Manmelter

Panic attack supremecy

panic attack is probably better for pyro, because unlike the reserve shooter the panic attack has upsides that pyro can actually take advantage of himself.

trolldier is truly the the most formidable and op enemy guys how do i fight trolldiers he too strong guys i dont know what to do against a guy with a shovel guys omg

@@dkskcjfjswwwwwws413 lol (hitower tho💀💀)

I hate brainrot ads

Looked like an interesting game

Also his discussion about the Kunai

It's.... a secondary tho? You'd only have the grenade launcher which doesn't synergize at all.

cause demo can't equip shotguns that'd be real fucking stupid

@@gmalamat1393 It could be a primary on demo, like the BASE Jumper

@@gmalamat1393 demo man's primaries also includes boots & a parachute, which if on soldier would be in the secondary slot. i think having the reserve shooter be a primary to pair with his sticky bomb launchers could synergize well just like what i describe in my comment.
