One weapon that basically relies you have one other specific weapon equipped to work is pretty bad design. Scout running at you with his melee is a lot easier to deal with than you’d think, and the crits have to be worth it over scattergun meatshots which is not easy to do without it being broken

For the first weapon, I think a better idea for increasing firing speed would be to take an idea from the Dragon's Fury and have the firing speed dramatically increase after you successfully hit someone, and keep the base firing speed slower like on the original concept.

With that I mind I submit the twin names of The Therapist's Tonic for the healing, and The Tormentor's Tincture for the crits.

I feel like the Medic throwable would be incredibly helpful regarding uber pushes, as usually when you use stock uber or kritzkrieg you won’t have the chance to heal another teammates. What this does is allow Medic to essentially give his entire team constant healing before pushing in with an ubercharge, and not have to worry about any of them dying.

For the scout cannon maybe in order to avoid 3 uncharged shots being fired really quickly you could add a firing speed increase after every fully charged shot, or an increase just dependent on the charge

crossbow, quick fix, and surgical solution/physicians fix. absolutely perfect loadout. if they let this weapon get in the game this will be my medic loadout

I think in addition to the Curveball there should be a function that discourages charging and holding a full powered shot like how the Demoman's fully charged sticky bomb fires automatically. That function may have been implied, seeing as how you drew parallels between it and the sticky bomb launcher often, but I feel like I should explicitly say it just in case.

a pretty fun idea for the scout molotov I had was a throwable with 60 extra switch speed (in general like the old degrease), sets enemies on fire and deals 20 damage in the radius of a rocket or the jarate. It recharges every 20 seconds and damage dealt decreases the timer (50:1, a full meatshot would decrease the timer by around 12.50 seconds) and the main idea is to run in and out of battle dousing enemies in the molotov and running back in to pick them off with your scatter. This would be a good alternative playstyle for scouts wanting to have some effect on a whole group of enemies rather than being a 1v1 master. It would also pair really well with the soda popper and soas, since melee covers the soda popper's low sustainability and the molotov validates the stick's schdict. It's trade off is worse 1v1 duels since 20 damage isn't all that much considering the reason you've switched to your secondary is because you beefed your scatter shots. It would also work worse in competitive formats since people will generally be more spread out to reduce splash damage, and most comp lobbies are 6v6 or 7v7 anyway. It would lose the mid to long range harrassment capabilities of stock, but it could work around this by being spammed mid-1v1 if you can manage to aim the splash away from the person you're fighting, meatshot the guy, then throw it again.

I love that you put some much time and efforts in this video, even recreating custom icons for the weapons. Good job !

There's a medic melee on the workshop that's a beaker full of liquid complete with a shattered model like Demo's bottle. You could potentially take the Surgical Solution and make it a support melee akin to the Disciplinary Action, with splash healing as a "one-and-done" effect like the Ullapool Caber (probably with a recharge).

Weapon Concepts in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand there are a lot of great ideas floating around the community. But on the other hand, Valve never pays the game any attention, so these never have a chance of making it into the game.

For the first concept I think it would've been a cool idea if it was a shirt cannon like you see in big league games. Yes it was invented in the 90s, but they used slingshot versions before that (didn't have enough range originally) which could also be a downside too

this needs a sequel.

The medic jar seems op, specifically in a competitive environment. Medic is pretty vulnerable to being bombed in competitive settings and he rarely has the opportunity to use his melee anyway. The self heal would really help him survive being jumped and the bleed would be really annoying for spies to deal with. Especially on payload defense, where most spies sit and wait for an opportunity to stab the medic, him being able to randomly throw a bleed around whenever he wants seems a bit much.

For the all-star's cannon, it feels like it's supposed to be based on the scattergun's 10x6 base damage. This is a little strange, because it doesn't mention a pellet reduction, which means technically it's supposed to be 10x5.4, but given it's based on a t-shirt launcher, I'm going to assume it's a single pellet projectile. So on the base stats, it's missing -90% pellets, +900% damage. edit: just realized the opening blurb about the projectile says "fires projectile... instead of pellets" so yeah, it's one projectile dealing 60-10% instead of 10x6-10%

And then after maybe 30 seconds after it switches it would self destruct. And to make it more balanced, the sapper only works on sentries and removes the spies disguise or something. Sounds too op though They could figure out a way to balance it

@JarthenGreenmeadow

I think it would be cool but I think a slight delay to its firing speed would be in order and slower holster speed too. That way you're having to aim/choose more carefully which building you sap and cant just spam into the engie nest like a regular sapper and then easily switch to a knife to stab and steal the sentry. Basically make it require slightly more skill and be easier to punish but have the new utility of team switching. Also make it so friendly engies can heal it but not upgrade it or move it, so if its a level 2 sentry thats all you get. I dont think it should last only 30 seconds because sentries without an engie to heal them are weak anyway.

fun silly goofy advice for making good molotov cocktails (in minecraft) that isn't illegal to know but is illegal to put into practice in the usa (in minecraft) so definitely dont: -if using alcohol, use the highest proof you can get your hands on (ideally 100%) ~gasoline isn't the best on its own cuz it burns well but doesnt last long- you'll get an initial explosion but not much else. mix with roofing tar or motor oil(?) for it to last longer (and get bonus points, cuz it'll stick to the target!) ~kerosene/paraffin works well, as you can guess cuz its a lamp oil ~you don't need to fill the bottle all the way. 3/4 should be enough -most wine bottles are designed to not break when dropped, so they aren't the best to use. beer bottles are better, or even mason jars! (you can always score a bottle first to make it weaker, though do be careful because you're cutting glass and if you go too far you might cause leaking or just break the bottle altogether) -the wick used (whatever rag you're lighting before throwing; avoid synthetic materials) should only be two or so inches long outside of the bottle, with most of it being inside soaking up the liquid. you just need the fire to last long enough to ignite the fuel when the bottle breaks! Make sure to pack the wick tightly in the mouth of the bottle so nothing spills -right before lighting and throwing the molotov, quickly turn (and then un-turn) the bottle upside-down to soak the wick a little. light it and then throw it IMMEDIATELY! ~when throwing, make sure to aim at hard surfaces instead of soft ones. Sure, a bush would be a good target for starting a fire, but the bottle is much more likely to break when it hits the ground beneath it instead of the thin branches. also, remember this is only for minecraft pvp so never do this in real life, but the pavement beneath a person's feet is a much better target than the person themself. ~throw overhand, like a throwing axe! you'll get more force compared to underhand. but remember this is all stuff that's only for minecraft and not real life and possession of a molotov cocktail is totally illegal so like never make one. but its totally cool to write this information down!

I definitely saw it as a T-shirt cannon too.

The AR thing is called a can cannon and it came before the nerf tennis ball launcher

Heres a funky little idea I had for a weapon called the Blast Nozzle: Upsides: +10% air blast push force +100% ammo capacity Unique Mechanic: Air blast deals push force to the pyro wielding it when fired on solid ground Downsides: Air blast becomes primary fire, as the weapon can ONLY use air blasts My idea for this weapon is that it would act as a purely supportive tool. It allows the pyro to essentially rocket jump (although it is a much weaker version of a real rocket jump) and the increased ammo capacity plus increased push force opens up the doorway for you to extinguish more teammates and push more enemy players away. However, with it being a PURELY supportive tool, it also comes with the downside of taking away the pyros entire gimmick. The weapon literally ONLY has airblasts.

Glad to see another one of these types of videos

It's worth noting for weapon one that's a firearm called the "can cannon", it's a blank firing adapter for ARs that allows you to shoot cans

Please do more of this kind of content., I personally love it, but all of your content is fantastic. Also for the Surgical Solution I think the original name works very well.

PLEASE continue this series

Some words on the jars: I think that, if you do a second episode, should totally remix the minicrit medic jar, as I think it could be an interesting challenge to differentiate it from the prescription. Another idea of mine was having the medic throwable able to replace either the secondary or melee. This move would pair well with my previous idea: perhaps the blue jar would give minicrits to the medic, who would then ubersaw a nearby demo to death or smth. The throwables for medic in general just open up so many doors.

I like the idea of throwable AoE items for the medic. Ana's throwable in OW is really fun to use and adds some more depth to the gameplay.

When you talked about the baseball launcher I immediately started to think of the pitching machine weapon from let it die, like a wrist mounted pitching machine that kinda needs to rev up like a mini gun but the longer you fired it the faster the projectiles shoot out

I really like the surgical solution, honestly I’d love to see it in the game, as you said with it being similar to the ana nade, I’ve played overwatch and having a tool like that with medic would be really interesting! Also it means if you have the kritzkrieg and crossbow with it you can do a ana cosplay which would be funny

I actually also had an idea for a throwable Medic primary recently, although mine involved having a bread monster inside like the Self Aware Beauty Mark and the Mutated Milk. It would deal damage over time via the bread monster biting them, but like the cosmetic bread monsters on the reskins it would only be on a direct hit, and otherwise the enemies would only get like some sort of debuff. You could also have it recharge based on healing instead of over time, but it wouldn't really change much. This mostly stemmed from me wanting the Medic to have a bread monster item since he was actually experimenting with it in Expiration Date

that molotov is so pretty!! and the name is great!!

15:17 a neat upgrade for it would be being able to launch your other projectile weapons (cleaver, ornament, and mad milk) out of the launcher since it's a tube gun

This was a great video I liked it more than the old weapon idea videos where a robot came up with them is awesome that real humans came up with the ideas

I've thought of several spy secondaries that would be like... ya'know like how solider has his banners 'n' boots, demo has shields, scout has throwable, but spy has only one secondary and it's just the normal sapper but worse at everything except frontier justice engi's so here are some that would shake things up a little: -The Daily Doctor Deterrent, a throwable apple that reduces medic uber if you can hit them or their patient. -The Deadly Dosage. a vial of poison that can be used to poison medkits, making anyone who picks them up marked for death for 8 seconds. the poisoned medkits have their blue replaced with red and their red cross replaced with the marked for death symbol so that you can tell them apart. -and The Fake Friend, a deployable that would create one of the wooden class cutouts that for the enemy appears as a rival teammate of your choosing standing still with their primary out. if it's a heavy, its revving and if it's a sniper, it's scoped.

I think the Physician's Fix was a better name for the third weapon than the Surgical Solution, but if I had to come up with one, I would go with the Terrible Tonic

All-star cannon seems like the perfect name, its baseball themed and describes what it does pretty well

Thanks man!

babe wake up new great blue video just dropped

Man, designing weapons for TF2 is a fun hobby. Having to make sure everything is taken into account makes for a good mental challenge. You know, talking things like competitive and MvM. Giving scout more fire-based weapons is also a curious addition but for some reason those two classes always had this vague connection to each other. The Physicians Fix doing damage and bleed the in an area makes it a spy-checking tool, unless disguised spies are allowed to heal from it instead. More so, if it also extinguishes fire, imagine putting out an enemy spy as well as heal them. It being a projectile also means enemy pyros can deflect it back at you or themselves.

The All-star's cannon appears to be a can-cannon. It's an AR-15 modification with a cup on the front end. You stick a soda can or beer can in the end and load a blank into the chamber, the gasses from the blank yeet the soda can through the air. So not quite a pneumatic gun, it's still gunpowder, but it's cool as shit, and yes, it can fire baseballs.

"and other types of books that have words in them" ah yes, my favourite reading book, pictures.

Recommending the name The Fifth Humor for the Medic throwable, as a reference to the four humors of older humoral theory, in a fun twist, they’re actually real and Medic discovered a new one!

I remember making a weapon concept with my friend for a demo secondary called the keg o war that was basically a sandvich And the Luftwaffe, a medigun that lets you fly on charge

Weapon Reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually look like they would function differently from their counterpart. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool looking weapons like the maul had more of an identity than "Its the Homewrecker but for rich people" So I took a large number of weapon reskins currently available in the game and gave them their own set of stats ranging from "Slightly modified sidegrade to the original" to "Completely new weapon idea that's not balanced at all but a ton of fun." For this video at least I'm only going to be modifying weapons that are relatively cheap and easily obtainable so it can keep the pay 2 win to a minimum. Basically if its under a key in backpack.tf (tm) or it's directly craftable then its gonna be fair game. I'm also not going to be touching the Original, either of the pyroland weapons, or the Holy Mackerel since even though they're technically reskins, they have enough unique functions that make them notably different from their counterparts. All right lets go. The Three-Rune blade is a really cool looking weapon that just doesn't do it for me. Like sure if you hit somebody with a sword in real life they're probably gonna bleed. But if you made a sword that's so poorly weighted that you're guaranteed to hit yourself if you miss your target then you'd probably be better off not even forging the sword in the first place and just hurling chunks of iron at people. So hear me out, we've already got Demoknight but we don't have Scoutknight. I've always thought it would be really cool if the Three-rune made scout functioned kinda like Demoknight. You have a lot more health, better damage and range, and a slight movement speed buff in exchange for scout taking his medieval roleplay very seriously and refusing to use any non-medieval weapons. Scoutknight would effectively be a sidegrade to Demoknight by trading off health and shield resistances for better movement and secondary utility. I'm actually surprised we don't have a second melee subclass in TF2 already with how much time went into Demoknight. And the Three-rune seems like the most obvious weapon change to make to make that a reality. The Holy Mackerel is notably different enough from stock because the killfeed tracking hits function. However, the Unarmed Combat does basically the same thing as the Holy Mackerel so it does count as a reskin. The Unarmed Combat's basically a meme weapon so I'm not too concerned about making it competitively viable or anything, but I do wanna make it fulfill its role as a funny weapon by giving it funny stats. Since you're slapping people around, why not give it a knockback effect. The knockback wouldn't be much, but you'd be able to get kills with this pretty well just by juggling people around. It would be kinda annoying to fight against but the idea of slapping people off a cliff is funny to me, so I personally like the changes regardless of how effective they may be. The Nostromo Napalmer is technically not a reskin from stock because if you have the entire item set equipped you do more damage against scouts who are wearing the entire alien set, but only like 5 people have ever gotten use out of that specific stat so I'm willing to make an exception. Most of the flamethrowers right now reward you for being as close to your target as possible. So I thought it would be interesting to make a flamethrower that's the opposite, where it has increased flame distance but reverse falloff so you have to keep your target at the maximum possible distance to get the most damage. The increased flame speed would also give the flames more range since their calculation is based on time in the air instead of distance, so essentially its not as much of an ambush tool as much as it is a spacing tool. I have no idea how good or bad this would end up being because its such an "out there" concept, but I think this would be more of a high skill ceiling flamethrower to add to the game, and it would also work well in the Nostromo due to how the original version works in Alien. The Postal Pummeler has such a random design for an Axtinguisher reskin. Like sure, a mailbox as a melee is cool and all, but why make it a reskin to the Axtinguisher of all things. So if not an Axtinguisher reskin, what would a mailbox do? Mail has to travel to reach its destination and a lot of mail travels by air and yeah this is a pyro market gardener. There's not much explanation with this one, the only thing in note is that I added a deploy speed bonus to both negate the jetpack's long holster animation and to give you more time to hit targets with the detonator's smaller jumps. Other than that, I feel like pyro could use a market gardener and these are stats that would be a lot of fun in TF2. And it would make it doubly function by making the mailbox theme make more sense. The Maul is another really cool looking weapon that ends up being boring because of its stats. Because of how futuristic this thing looks, I'd expect it to do something more high-tech than just being a building smasher. So what if we inverted the homewrecker's damage against enemy buildings to provide buffs to friendly buildings instead? What I'm thinking for the Maul is that you'd be able to whack friendly buildings to make them operate a little bit faster. That means sentries would fire faster, dispensers would regenrate ammo and heal faster, and teleporters would take a little bit less time to recharge. This is of course a significant buff to Engineers, so just to make it a bit harder to keep buildings overclocked, the firing speed penalty would probably be necessary. Pybro's currently a great niche that's limited to a single weapon type, and since teamwork based playstyles should be widely encouraged in a game called "Team Fortress 2", getting pyros more option to help out friendly engineers would be a super great addition.

Junkrats grande launcher could've been a great reference for the baseball Canon! You can actually see the wheel that launches the cricket ball bombs, much like a baseball launcher!

Gorbachev's Gatorade: a molotov cocktail that fills the space of the gas passer, it spreads fire in a cloud the size of the gas passer that lasts 2 seconds and inflicts afterburn on hit targets . It recharges only on fire damage and takes 850 points to fill, on direct hit it deals 80 damage and the target takes mini crit damage . While equiped if lit on fire or hit with melee it will explode in your hand and put its effects on you . The weapon would give pyro a way to better fight heavys and engis .direct damage and mini crits for heavy & you can use it to flush engineers out of their nest plus do a large amount of damage to buildings with the direct damage.

Maybe I zoned out and missed you bringing it up, but a Molotov Cocktail secondary for Scout would end up pairing really well with the Sun on a Stick, suddenly making it significantly less situational. While it would be nice to see such an underwhelming weapon have more use cases, you have to wonder if maybe this would take it a little too far. I could be completely wrong, though, and it's totally fine.

with the all-star cannon, imagine it being a like Tshirt cannon like the picture would indicate, so if you get a kill with it it would put a shirt on the ragdoll, can even have some funny little text on the shirt, and also honestly, the medic weapons could replace his medigun if balanced and implemented right, it would be cool to give medic a way to have a different more active playstyle, instead of the gameplay of just kinda holding the mouse button on an ally.

I remember I had an idea for an engineer throw able I thought was so cool at the time where it was 400 sentry damage to charge it, replaces the pistol and you throw it on dispensers to increase their health and ammo dispensing speed and the fire rate and recharge rate on sentries and teleporters for 8 seconds but it's probably op so I don't mention it often

The Curveball would be very fun if its trajectory is impacted by shot strength and specifically horizontal player movement. Like, actually firing curve balls if you're strafing could add a whole different element to how the weapon is used and would lend well to its name. High skill ceiling though, like being able to peg something you don't have a line of sight on, like a sniper who's just ducked behind a corner

I think I might have to join your discord _just_ so I can share my hoard of weapon ideas. They’ve been gnawing at my braincells for years but I’ve never had even a quarter-decent place to share them (much less a half-decent place).

I think a fun little gimmicky addition to the first one is a stun mechanic at range. Make it where if you charge it for like 5 seconds it overpressures and shoots the ball at a longer arc but upon contact bonks the victim dealing no damage then a crowd cheers. Basically just something to bully snipers without actually being useful. It's also kinda a nod to the old sandman too

With the baseball launcher, I think that having the feed on top of (or on the side of) the gun as sort of a clear horizontal tube would be cool, you would be able to see the baseballs in there before you fired them. Maybe also for aesthetics the baseball model could have some spikes or something sticking out of them, to amp up the improvised weapon feel.

You know, it would actually be cool to see 2 fire based weapons like that. I can imagine some sort of flare gun for pyro that could be kinda of a gas passer done right, like it fires a projectile that creates a spot of flames when it hits the ground. To balance it, it could be a single long rechargeable shot like the glass passer is. I could also see demoman using kinda like a sticky bomb launcher that launched those kinds of projectiles, instead of exploding they would just create an area of fire for some seconds. More of an area denial weapon

8:26 i didnt expect a Smarter Every Day plug in tf2 video

I remember once seeing a heavy minigun made out of a salvaged sentry gun. I've always wanted something like that, even if it were just a reskinned Natasha.
