I would like to see the Booster Shot get an overheal nerf that guarantees the Overheal (without Uber) to not go over 450 max. A Medic pocketing a Heavy takes away the Heavy's biggest counter: the Sniper, and any aware team that can pick out a Spy easily can make for a Heavy with an absurd amount of HP and the only way to counter that is with a Medic with his own Booster Shot.

The same problem exists with the Darwin's Danger Shield with Sniper in which the Sniper's main counter (another Sniper) is nullified because it forces the other Sniper to use the DDS in order to win a 1v1.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on that weapon.

So we just found a big bug in the mod.

When a Medic equips the Survival Gear and Booster Shot together it makes him near invincible to any attack except for some taunt kills and strangely enough bleeding and attacks from any flare gun.

SHARP SHOOTER:
I feel like this weapon wouldn't really suit Heavy or Soldier's playstyle, as the Sharp Shooter as it stands benefits largely to shotty/melee-heavy play where it would be significantly less useful on the two slowest classes in the game who both have primary weapons that are far more useful in 90% of regular in-game situations. On Engineer I'm on the fence because it also doesn't really suit his personality to turn around a shotgun and start using it as a melee weapon, but he could use both parts to great effect and primary Sharp Shooter could turn out pretty clutch under the right circumstances.

CONVENTIONAL:
Could absolutely work, the crits would be especially powerful for Engineer as he can hide behind his Sentry to pick off players trying to outrange his Sentry, but the marked-for-death leaves him super vulnerable, too.

MARAUDER'S MACE:
Demoman already efectively has this weapon's gimmick through the Iron Boots. Also, as an Advanced Weaponiser legacy weapon I'd personally rather it stay as a Soldier item.

TEXAN HEATMAKER:
Considering the weapon is an extremely blatant and unapologetic spychecking tool, I feel like the Scout wouldn't really benefit much from this tool. Plus, players already find it irritating enough being ignited by the Condiment Cannon, does Scout really need another item that exists solely to be irritating?

MELF'S MAGIC POTION:
No opinion either way, really.

AUSSIE POSSIE TRAP:
The whole weapon's gimmick is that it's a stickybomb launcher for the Sniper (with added effect). If you give it to the Demoman, it's just a stickybomb launcher for the Demoman (with added effect). That's not particularly interesting!

MELEE BOOSTER:
Whether it replaced the Grenade Launcher or the Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman would simply not benefit from this. It works for Scout because he is very fast and can viably approach enemies to smack them with his melee. In vanilla TF2 this is balanced by the fact that he has the second-to-worst melee in the game damage-wise, and what the Melee Booster is designed around. Demoman is just too slow, and his explosives/shield provide him with more benefits then the Melee Booster ever could.


As far as the Handyman's wrench-effects, they're really neither here nor there. On one hand, a Scout has no reason to really be hanging out around Engineer nests when he could be out performing his actual role of getting picks on key targets and causing chaos on enemies in combat. On the other hand, this weapon's existance could provide an un-needed subtle buff to tf2's already very powerful defensive game, where a Spy who successfully plans out an assault on an Engineer's nest could have all his hard work undone by a passing Scout who just happens to have the weapon equipped, or by executing his plan and having no way to know a Scout he's decided isn't important can save the Engineer's sentry gun while the Spy is busy attempting to escape to safety. There are more elements to my opinion of the function but the gist of it is that it's potentially very messy for the flow of the game and I think it's much more beneficial for everyone if this specific encounter-type isn't muddled too much in that sort of direction.

Mate.did you know that trying things doesn't hurt? Just give em to donators only for now, let us test them. I will NOT let you just fucking instantly say no because they MIGHT fucking works and they might not. I thought custom weapons were allowed to change roles of classes? Are you against a helpful supportive scout, or do you want him to continue to be a self-helping shitbag?
Trying them does no harm,. This server was MADE for testing these kind of things.

Dude you really need to calm down and accept that some of your ideas don't really work out on paper, much less testing.

The developers will add in any weapon they want. It's their server. Stop being rude to them please.

While on the topic, I feel that the Raiding Aid used as a primary weapon for the Engineer should be maybe buffed to have four instead of three shots in its clip. I'm not sure about how that would effect other classes since they use the Shotgun as their secondary weapons, but it'd be a sidegrade for Engineer even though it's sort of like a Widowmaker that works on kill instead of hit.

On another side topic I feel that the Manncannon does too much damage on headshot. I tried using it and get random damage numbers from 200 to 300 sometimes on an uncharged headshot. I'd like that to be maybe reduced to like 125 so that it can still kill light classes while also increasing the explosion damage and radius so that it can deal a noticeable amount of damage to surrounding teammates.

Anyway, break's over, so I have more time to think of suggestions.

The Triple Point
Pyro Secondary (Flare Gun)
[+]+50% max secondary ammo
[+]Shoots three flares in quick succession (about +50% faster)
[+]Flares work in combo system:
[~]First consecutive shot deals -25% less damage and mini-crits
[~]Second consecutive shot deals base damage and mini-crits
[~]Third consecutive shot deals base damage and deals full crits
[-]Combo resets on reload
[-]-25% slower reload speed

I found this weapon in the workshop that no one's done anything to so I've decided to make some shitty stats for it.

The Kingpin
Heavy Bowling Ball (Secondary)
(+)Throw at your enemies to deal 50 damage on direct hit and a large amount of knockback in a large radius
(+)+25% faster deploy speed
(+)On direct hit: heals self for 75 health and receives a three second speed boost
(+)On kill: heals self for 75 health (150 health gained from kill)
(-)Cannot overheal
(-)No random critical hits
(~)Recharges in ten seconds
(~)Shatters on players and surfaces
Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=353759989

The projectile is shaped like the Loose Cannon and is fired exactly like it but shatters on any surfaces and players like the Loch-n-Load. The knockback is very strong (think Force-a-Nature at close range) and increases the closer the target is from the shatter. The radius of the knockback is the same as the Marauder's Mace.

This is a very, VERY rough idea because damage-dealing throwable weapons for Heavy practically don't exist in the game yet, so any feedback would be helpful.

Also a fuck around weapon for Valentine's Day that I think would be hilarious

The Heartsman
Sniper Bow (Primary)
(+)Headshots stuns target depending on charge time (up to 6 seconds on full charge)
(-)Headshots deal minimal damage
(-)+100% slower charge time
(-)Can not be taken seriously whatsoever
(~)Headshotting a target already stunned will not reset the stun time
(~)Stunned targets have either the Circling Heart or Cloud 9 effect (or both)

Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=120603228

An idea that's probably been suggested a lot of times, but I just want to give my idea for a Battle Medic secondary.

Tachyarrhythmie
Medic Backpack (Secondary)
(+)Automatically heals teammates around you in a medium sized radius
(+)Healing multiple teammates at once increases your primary damage - up to 50% (10% for each teammate)
(+)Healing multiple teammates at once increases your Ubercharge - up to 30% (5% for each teammate)
(+)+100% max primary ammo on wearer
(-)Ubercharge only builds through healing injured teammates
(-)No overheal
(~)Alt+Fire on full Ubercharge with any weapon: fully heals self and all teammates in range and gives a large overheal that decays slowly

inb4 lucio clone

So I heard about an Engineer update coming soon to CTF2w...

The Parallel Circuit
Engineer Shotgun
(+)+20% damage bonus against enemies slower than the player
(+)On kill: repairs all damage buildings with 50 health
(-)-20% damage penalty against players faster than the player
(-)-15% max health on wearer
Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598797718

The Metallurgizer
Engineer Pistol
(+)Mini-crits enemies who have taken damage by your sentry in the last 3 seconds
(+)On hit: damage dealt is returned as ammo
(+)+25% more accurate
(+)No reload necessary
(-)Per shot: -10 ammo
(-)Uses metal for ammo
(-)No random critical hits
Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=175311155

The Wrench Connection
Engineer Wrench
(+)35% of all damage done by your sentry is returned as health
(+)Health returned can overheal
(-)30% of all damage done to your sentry injures you
(-)20% melee vulnerability on wearer
Model: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133248604

That's pretty much how the wrangler works in a sense. In most situations, having your sentry do all the aiming is key unless the enemy is outside your range or you need to shield your sentry from incoming damage. Other than that it's best to keep the weapon sheathed away. Same thing with the Sentry Booster, sometimes it's better to have it out and sometimes it's better to put it away. I made a crappy image to explain the thought process of how this would work in normal gameplay to help visualize how this change could work.

You obviously don't understand the wrangler. It doubles fire rate and effectively triples health, with almost indefinitely extending range the wrangler was made for
2.) Longer ranges
4.) Anti spy measures
5.) Protection from major damage
6.) Increased damage output

And you really think that its main purpose is the range?

It's one of the Wrangler best features, yes (besides the damage negation). I main Engineer and run Wrangler a lot and its best feature is hitting targets outside of its range because it stops spamming Soldiers quite quickly.

Also it's not really an Anti-Spy measure, since it doesn't lock onto disguised Spies, though in higher competitive play it does work in Highlander in such. However in a normal public match where there can be multiple Spies at once, the Wrangler hard-counter really is a Spy.

But anyway, yeah. I forgot what this was about. Whatever, the Sentry Booster wasn't one I was confident with, but it was just a suggestion.
