I bummed the pacing towards the end because I cut a lot of stuff but I thought the rest of the video deserved to be put out so I hope you end up enjoying.

The Loose Cannon is the perfect name for a weapon that's bad for achieving your objectives but great for screwing around.

It feels like the Iron Bomber's grenade hitbox was intended for the Loose Cannon, and Valve just hasn't bothered to fix it for literal years.

The double donk is truly satisfying but MAN has the knockback killed so many good ubers on me lol

In my experience, you give up the consistent and immediate damage of the other grenade launchers for a spammable cannon with high-ass damage potential. It's a fun sidegrade and pairs well with the Quickie in my opinion.

I still remember the time that I completely denied an uber push. Sure, it was on Dustbowl and I was in a perfect spot to spam their spawn exit, but blocking that Heavy Medic combo with four double donks felt great.

I just realized that the name "Loose Cannon" is actually the perfect name for this due to the fact that this is the most risky ass primary for Demo, you'll either be good at it or just be a liability to your team

loose cannon is honestly the most skilled launcher, it gives you a 30% damage bonus for timing, this is why I dont use the lo

"Consistent" in this case just means "easy" Loose cannon shreds everything that isn't a sentry way faster than stock/iron bomber if you're a God and can land consecutive donks consistently.

The loose cannon is the best designed weapon in the entire game. It offers fun, 1v1 strength, practical competitive elements (double donking ubers and roamers), swag, and advanced movement abilities while still being fair to play against, I cant think of a single other weapon in the game that does the same.

there are 2 more uses other than the ones you mentioned that I like to do with the coconuts gun™: -sidewards 90° corner peaking sentry destruction (amazingly effective if you can time the explosion right) -demoaxe on the backline with the tide turner (air acceleration isn't ground acceleration so you still fly at mach 10 and big axe = funny crits) btw nice video

This thing can one shot snipers with a double donk, and pairs well with the Sticky Jumper to get up in their faces in the first place. Far as I'm concerned, that makes it God's gift to the Demo

I'm - among other things - a sound designer, and I thought a little about why the Double Donk sound effect is so satisfying. In short, I think the Double Donk sound effect either has someone saying Double Donk, or the percussive elements have been carefully picked and placed so that they sound like there's someone saying double donk. On top of that, the short crash cymbal we hear at the peak of the effect, layered with some kind of a wonky string glide, makes for a very distinct finish for the sound effect. Whoever created it, did some fun hijinks to come up with that sound. Also, the Batman-esque Donk x2 sign helps!

In my eyes, like the loch n load, its arguably a downgrade from stock as a normal demoman, but a pretty good choice on hybrid knight Loch n Load helps with sentries with the increased damage against buildings Loose Cannon can help against pyro's since charge it right and airblasting will result in it exploding on them

you can actually time the explosion right to negate the pyro's Airblast ability, as you can make it blow up earlier than normal, and its explosion damaging the pyro before he can airblast it

Bought a loose cannon the other day and named it “scout mutilator”. Good times since then

0:18 Haha funny scout d/c. Oh no they just masked him out.

Back when I still actually played TF2 competitively, I used to run the Loose Cannon as often as I could without my team yelling at me. I can say firsthand, the loose cannon is very far from being bad by any stretch of the imagination. On most maps, it's a good sidegrade that lets you control enemy movement, and every once in a while one shot a scout. On very tight and restricted close quarters maps, the loose cannon is actually, clinically insane. Viaduct (product)? Very good if you hold the point aggressively, you can effectively lock out the two most powerful sniper sightlines with just your primary. Steel? If you're not using the loose cannon on Steel defense you're seriously playing the game wrong. Gullywash? My loose cannon was named "River Monster" for a reason. If you're holding last on pretty much any 5CP map, there's no reason not to use the loose cannon. The only situations I outright wouldn't run it is while on the attacking team in highlander for payload or Steel, or when pushing last in 6s because of sentry guns. Sentry guns are the weapon's one biggest roadblock.

Dude, your edits are so smooth and polished. And your humour makes me laugh. Criminally underrated KZfaqr

As a Donking Demo main, everytime I hear that sound effect, it's like a shockwave of donking goes straight into my body, causing my brain to release an unfathomable amount of dopamine into my bloodstream so that the cycle of donking continues.

0:53 jokes on you im into to that shit.

That mood switch at 1:50 had me actually laughing out loud

I LOVE USING THIS WEAPON, I kinda get why its bad but combining it with the quickiebomb launcher for secure follow ups or long ranged attacks seems to fix it quite a bit, alternatively combining it with the chargin' targe and eyelander, or half zatochi, or Claidheamh Mòr and you have quite the mid to close range power house that can easily move across the map with a trimp or loose cannon jump and can either easily replenish health, increase max hp and speed, or increase amount of speed/time of trimping and replenish charge, or to simply just secure an easy escape. The only thing I wish is for the shields to provide blast resistance to self but it doesn't seem noticeable at least when I do it.

"and the bottle, cause that shit random crits like nothing else" Pan: 😢

Me trying to explain to my friends why I play as FatScout:

Dude wtf, I'm that scout at 0:31

"Stock, Iron bomber, and loch n load have no dopamine." A crit pipe launching at a group of like 5 people: *_am i a joke to you_*

3:10 I don’t think the loose cannon is a downgrade, in fact, the loch n load is a downgrade to a demo main (because of the faster launch speed would fry their muscle memory) but the loose cannon is a COMPLETE side grade.

My favourite set is Quickiebomblauncher and this cannon. I use Quickiebomblauncher as a primary for stickyspamm and cannon for something like self defence against scouts or secondary if i run out of ammo.

I bought a fancy loose cannon recently and funnily enough I found myself using the same tide Turner strat. ALSO you didn't mention it stopping demoknight charging

I love that elmaxo was using driftveil city before dancing toothless was a thing

If you hit a cannonball on a trollger, he goes *flying*

"What can I say? This thing is a dopamine factory!" - Some Purple guy

Imagine the fear of the sniper at 3:05 only to see him slowly slide off the cliff

The perfect one pump chump in my opinion is the loose cannon, tide turner and caber. Nobody expects the totally impractical

I was on a thundermountain server where there were 9 demomen on my team all of which were hybrid knighting with the Loose Cannon, Tide Turner and Scottish handshake and saying “cheers mate” whenever they got a kill or died.

the loose canon is the only grenade launcher in the game worth using and noone can convince me otherwise thank you have a donking night

2:42 "because that thing crits like nothing else" Frying pan: *allow me to introduce myself*

The loose cannon is like the force of nature, but I can actually stand being killed by it more than 3 times. It knocks around alot but also it’s a projectile, so I say “hey, that guy aimed that good.” Instead of “hey he hit one of those bullets and I got sent flying without my consent.”

I must of been away from tf2 for a long time cause I remember everyone thinking the iron bomber was useless, granted I used it but I liked The fact if I missed my shot the bomb would still be under their feet compared to around some random corner.

I got mentally flashbanged by the faint audio of Buddy Holly and i nearly spit my water out.

I love he loose cannon but I consider it in the class of what I like to call “Hightower weapons”. Just something for goofing around in trade servers, 2fort and Hightower.

The pure PLEASURE of hearing the DOUBLE DONK go through the entire enemy team and their medic. Instant turn on.

Dopamine inducers like the donk cannon is one of the many reasons why i am playing tf2

this video has more bass than erhcehfryefy7ery3yer3yrehycefxfehfryexfe8yrh3cyfyerftexf3ebr3yef7yefgefygef3ebfQ7YFBE7HFBqbf7ebfhebfhb7ybf7ybfxeurb7yezBF7BR7YBFEBF7YEBFC7Y3QBXFYBFX7YbrfxYFX9xf983xf8XF9h9yexf9yebf9yb9FC9qfv9yqbv9f7ybe9fv7b9fbmv9q3mbfbe7fy4ve7fbvv7yeb9yfe9yvf9e7fv7eybf7yef97vbdf9ve9f7z7yqgx8enf7yehfyc7n76ycnf87nfvnc9 -sorry i fell asleep, than bass town

For ages I've had a smissmax sweater Loose Cannon named "Jingle Balls Launcher". Funniest thing ever.

1:29 Valve: It's showtime *N E R F*

Watching these TF2 videos when it's been 5+ years since I played is a huge nostalgia trip. But hearing the Jubilife City music in one just sent me over the nostalgia edge.

"Go where your heart tells you, and for me, that's straight to the back line" Stickyknight with cannon is literally better at picks than spy

“Which means no dopamine. Which means sadness.” I’m perpetually sad so I don’t see the problem here.

I LOVE the loose canon

my main demo loadout is loose cannon, sticky jumper, and the pan. I LOVE jumping around and harassing the back line.

A month and 1k subscribers already, can't wait till we get a major milestone

The iron bomber that is an example of a weapon acing its design. It’s great if you know what it can do. Conversely most people want it to be a better grenade launcher…which it’s not and it won’t ever be

i'm new to the loose cannon grind, but one of my favorite things to do is defend myself and my team by juggling demoknights around. also pushing people back into sticky traps

The quality of your videos is insane. You deserve more subs.

I used to play tf2 a whole lot when I was around 12-15, crazy to think that this was over 10 years ago and this game still has a active community

all the pokemon music in your videos just.... fits in so god damn well, thanks for making me play tf2 and pokemon again

2:18 he needed to let you know your end is near

I love seeing the boys popping up randomly on my feed, AUS TF2 content creators low-key on the rise for months now

Iron bomber fan: "but the Iron bomber has a bigger hit box!" Loose cannon enjoyer: "L+Ratio+No Dopamine"

So random big brain move you could do is use the Scottish Resistance with this and knock people into specific stickies for you to detonate.

i am a spy main and i get really sad when i hear that on me or i get really happy when i hear that coming from a pyro that just exploded anyways good video

0:25 Fun fact, the scout didn’t leave the game, he was edited out

Elmaxo's coconut gun double donks in spurts

2:40 Elmaxo:REMOOVE RANDOM CRITS. elmaxo 5 seconds later:

It's sad to see that we will most certainly never see another video like this. Probs cus the man quit

TF2 double donk sound is just as satisfying as a M1 garand ping

I think it need a tiny side buff : Reload take 2.5 times longer , but true passive reload (even when firing). Why: less spamy and DPS isnt punished for charging instead of reloading

You’ve got a great editing style, caught my eye and earned my sub!

loose cannon+sticky jumper+ullapool caber=LITERAL FUCKING ROCKET

In theory, isn’t this the best anti pyro option demo has? Since you can time the shot so even if it’s airblasted, the cannon ball explodes

I love this weapon, just overload jumping around with that thing and charging trought the air is great

just watching someone use the loose cannon gives me second hand dopamine

2:19 jesus christ that jumpscare

El maxo, i call the the loose canon, tide turner, and the bottle; its the Drunken Sailor

One shooting scouts who are easy to hut with the huge hit box of the canning is a huge upside

Cannon jumping as a demoknight is probably the greatest tactic known to man. It's the most fun parts of trolldier and kunai spy put together

Imagine a tide turner loose cannon caber demo man flying through the air, one shotting your medic and laughing his ass off afterwards

"stop pubstomping with the iron bomber and give the loose cannon a go" Jokes on you, I never pubstomp! So I might as well miss every shot with the funny gun instead

The loose cannon can also do damage before it explodes meaning it feels like doing twice the damage

i like this weapon to knock down ubers in narrow corners

The ability to manually detonate is huge in my eyes

Something in my brain really clicks with the loose canon and I find I hit way more DDs then I do direct pills with a normal Grenade launcher

I enjoy the loose canon for hybrid night. That way you bomb jump with the canon, charge and trimp tf out

Driftvill city goes hard

now i wish demoman had some crocodile cosmetics so i could cosplay as K. Rool while using the thing.

donks music is : driftveil-city-pokemon-black-white

2:17 *that threw me off guard*

im so glad this vid has been blessed by the algorithm, not only because its good, but because your content overall is great and very funny, keep it up!

"It actually has a bigger hitbox than stock" Aged terribly

Imagine using loose cannon and them get pipe bombed by a Demoman who is probably using the Iron Bomber or just the stock while you charging the cannon for it to ACTUALLY works.

Game Theory: every TF2 youtuber has access to a big vault full of music mostly nintendo and just picks one at random

1:28 rip iron bomber hitbox

4:18 Switch this order and then you get a true meaning of thia weapon: "fun"

Is nobody gonna talk about how he is using the base jumper with the sticky bomb launcher

I was playing with my youtube speed quality on 1.75x and I forgot to turn it off while watching this and I thought maxo was having a stroke lmao.

YO at 3:26 im abusing the Phlog

the drums are what gave away the second one for me :P

So what we got? Useless? Maybe, useless(maybe) cannon Actually balls Worst sentry nightmare Default for default man
