Actually I disagree that the rescue ranger is the engineer's crossbow while they both have the same function and value, giving up self defensive shotgun makes you even more reliant on your sentry than you were before as you'll usually only have a pistol or melee to fall back on at that point and the other shotguns are more than serviceable as a self defense helpful tool IF you are able to aim

The main difference is that honestly the shotguns do have a lot of genuine utility that the rescue doesnt especailly if you're playing more aggressive engineer or have to deal with people your allies wont or cant for what ever reason. And thats not even counting the gunslinger nor how the mini sentries synergize much worse iwth the rescue. Its still probably the best primary but it at least isnt over centralizing to the extent the cross bow does. Outside of very very niche reasons, there isnt much of a reason not to always hard lock the cross bow since the needle guns are really bad and arent even that particularly standout at their roles in the case of the needlegun primaries.

@drivanradosivic1357

If Medic's Crusader's Crossbow is "overpowered" then we need to look at what the Crossbow offers compared to the syringe guns. a way to heal and gives 5% uber on heal. the answer is obvious. Make a core class change that gives burst healing when you click alt fire. I would also add in extra effects in the priamries and melees(the gimmick of this set's effects are ABC, and you can mix and match. as in, not a "the whole set together gives ABC effect", but more of a "the guns from this set have ABC effect") sort of deal. I would make it so primaries do burst healingwith a throwable medium health pack(, imagine if medic gets a sandvich that he can only throw, has a 30 second cooldown, and health pick ups when at full HP fill up the med pack, cannot use the med pack on himself unless it thrown by another medic and gives 5% uber on heal) and melees get injector syringes(this has Disciplinary action mechanics(which are made so the item can consistently buff teammates), you can use for 20% healing or overhealing, press R to self heal and a 15 second cooldown without any map pick ups resetting for other upsides, which are that when on a cooldown you have 15 seconds of 25 damage quick melee no randon crits on alt fire, plus the stock bonesaw gives 5% uber on hit, which makes it so the stock bonesaw has SOME reason to pick it) and all the primaries and melees share some extra effects themed around a set. Which are the following: Stock syringe gun and bonesaw gives 5HP regen for 5 seconds(plus stock bonesaw syringe doing 5% uber on hit), Blutsauger and Ubersaw give up to 20HP on hit with ranged weapons and 20HP on melee weapons, Overdose and Solemn Vow give a Disciplinary action type of speed boost for 5 seconds, Crusaders Crossbow and Amputator have no extra effects, but the Amputator regen boost can overheal the medic for plus 20HP and you have a Hospitaler meter when full and activated after the violin taunt gives a aura of healing for 8 seconds and you can use the primary and melee during that time. Vitasaw, the alt fire uses a organ for 15% uber now instead of after death and the weapon can give 20HP on hit that can overheal up to 170HP. this way everything has a reason to use it, and you don't need to nerf/cripple a good thing to make the bad stuff look better. Primary weapons have a throwing med pack(medium health and 30 second cooldown, Sandvich like mechanic of map pick ups repreneshing the med pack, but no self heal) plus 5% uber on heal and the Extra effects mean different primary weapons do different effects. Stock gives regen, which would be useful if your patient needs a burst of heals and some more health but you need to take care of other people as well. Blutsauger, give this to someone you know is going to be in a fight, since up to 20HP on hit on ranged attacks allows for sustain, as well as the 20HP on melee hit. Overdose, buff someone to bring them to the frontlines faster or for a retreat, combined with the Speed copy, a taxi service also allows medic to get out of there. Crusader's crossbow has the medium health pack on crossbow bolt hit, plus the 30 second cooldown med pack, which means that if you want pure healing focus, Crossbow is for you. I said a set has a themed extra effect, it is not like the old stuff of "all items from a XYZ set give ABC effect" but "stuff from a XYZ set give ABC effects" meaning mxi and match can happen. Stock syringe gun for downtime heal up and ubersaw for healing during the fighting either of your patient or yourself since pressing R when melee is active does a short self heal animation, or Blutsauger primary to give your patient healing on hitting and say using the Solemn vow to boost yourself if a escape is needed. Melee weapons are a injector syringe, so Disciplinary action mechanics are needed to make it consistent at healing and buff giving, when melee is active press R for self heal, heals and can overheal for 20% HP and 5% uber on heal, 15 second cooldown and during those 15 seconds you have a 25 damage no random crits, fast swing speed alt fire that on stock gives 5% uber on hit, which is not available on other injector syringes. on Stock bonesaw, injector syringe gives 5HP regen for 5 seconds and on cooldown gets 5% uber on hit. Ubersaw, injector syringe gives up to 20HP on hit for ranged and 20HP on hit for melee hits, all for 5 seconds duration. Solemn Vow, take the Disciplinary action Speed boosting mechanics, put it in a syringe that boosts speed for 5 seconds. Amputator, I would give it a Hospitaler Meter that when filled and activated after the violin taunt, gives 8 seconds of healing aura from the Amputator taunt, but you move and can use primaries and melee during those 8 seconds. Vitasaw, make the alt fire use a organ for 15% uber now instead of after death and has a 15HP on hit that can overheal. what do you all think of this?

The Cloak and Dagger pairs fantastically with the L'etranger, not making it obsolete. It makes the C&D into a slightly inconvenient Stock with UNLIMITED CLOAK.

What people don't tell you about the Degreaser is that it IS better for reflecting than any other flamethrower. It's faster switch speed works for you defensively when you see a projectile coming at you when you're using your other weapons, your delay before you can airblast is reduced due to your weapon being ready sooner. It also works in your favor when it comes to baiting: a skilled Soldier will be much less careless when he sees that you know how to airblast, but if you shoot him with your shotgun or even just show it to him, his brain says it's go time, you switch back to the Degreaser and have enough time to clutch a reflect at shorter ranges compared to stock.

Don't be afraid to use the rescue ranger to place your sentry into stupid aggressive positions. Plan your metal and aproch correctly and you can have a sentury in the front line.

Note at 6:08; your afterburn ALSO ramps up to 3x damage as enemies are caught in your fire for longer until they can escape

I know I was just fishing for a cheeky L'etranger kill clip (which I got)

i always thought 1-4 metal ratio meant it used FOUR TIMES as much metal as the wrench because it was listed as a downside.

The Demoknight boots technically occupy the primary slot

The L’Etranger is the only one of these I use-technically, I suck so bad at Spy that I fear ever needing to play him-and yeah, very useful. Having that extra cloak from the gun helped me realize I didn’t need the Cloak and Dagger, it gives plenty of wiggle room to stock. I still die all the time-I suck at all aspects of Spy, this only helps with one-but this boosts that one aspect enough without being a crutch that I at least feel I can improve there. And with that, something to note about all these utility primaries: they still do alright damage. Oh sure, they are weaker in that regard than their respective stocks, but they still function as weapons, unlike some utility secondaries and melees. This is most important to keep in mind with the L’Etranger out of the three, given the cloak on hit stat: do not be afraid to actually fire it if the need arises.

i thought that the demoman boots would be put on this list since they can not only be used for demoknight but also for sticky demo as that 25 hp can really be helpful and stickybombs might be better than grenade launcher.

I'd also like to add the rescue ranger gives engi a defensive option against their main counter demoman Ive killed engis as a collateral cause they were repairing their turrets with the wrench while I was spamming pipes and you can quickly grab your buildings from a safe distance before the demo can detonate the stickies he laid out for the sentry

Yes, he said that in the video

I personally think the Degreaser and Panic Attack combo is one that suffers from diminishing returns. The Panic Attack's switch speed alone allows it to function with any Flamethrower as a near-instant source of burst damage. So unless you're also running a melee weapon for the combo, the Panic Attack is best paired with something else. I'd say your better off running the Reserve Shooter with the Degreaser, as then you gain access to similar swap speeds with more efficiency at a range (as the Panic Attack struggles outside of point blank range).

@isenokami7810

I think this logic also applies to the L’Etranger and Cloak and Dagger, and it was that realization that got me off the crutch watch. If you have the extra cloak duration from the L’Etranger, you don’t need the boosts from the C&D (if you consider them boosts with how that watch works). Besides, with even just the revolver’s boost, you start to realize bumping people in transit is a bigger problem than actually running out of cloak.

Surprised the homewrecker wasn’t on here but the ability to remove sappers with a damage penalty is pretty self explanatory

just a small correction about the degreaser: it is identical to stock in terms of direct sustained damage, the difference in damage is only the afterburn, or the indirect damage you deal if you will. as teal opal said, the flamethrower will deal damage and afterburn will kick in and deal another additional amount of damage on top of it every tick (.5 sec), meaning that you deal extra 4 damage with stock every .5 seconds when the target is in direct contact with your flame particles. because how source engine works, ticks are continuous, never stopping and being server related, and because of that occasionaly the afterburn damage will kick in because it coincided with the tick (ticks are the moment when the game checks and makes calculations for a lot of things, like afterburn, player movement, projectile movement, the list goes on) and as a result your direct damage gets a small bonus of 4 (1 in the case of the degreaser, and it may get higher if the target is covered in jarate, marked for death, or you're mini-crit boosted, a check also made during the tick interval). this is basically a nothing stat because it results, at most, in a 10 extra damage per second if the right condictions are met. the point of the degreaser is to not rely on afterburn, and as a pyro you shouldn't rely on it for securing kills anyway. if you want to know why afterburn is not a relyable way to secure kills: afterburn ever since jungle inferno is applied depending on how long the enemy was in contact with your flame particles, with a minimum of 3 sec afterburn, and a max of 10. the max duration will almost never apply, since in the time required for it to be applied you will end up killing your enemy, meaning the max 100 potential damage from afterburn (mini crit afterburn deals 5 damage per tick, the regular afterburn maximum is 80) will almost never happen. the only weapon that can apply its max duration right now is the gas passer of all things, and it would require your enemy to: be coated in jarate and/or you being mini-crit boosted/the enemy is marked for death, not find a health pack, a dispenser, a payload cart, a ressupply cabin, a medic, a heavy carring a lunchbox item, a scout using the mad milk, a sniper using the jarate, water, a pyro that can airblast or is using the thermal thruster or the manmelter or have the gas passer filled (YES, THE GAS EXTINGUISHES FIRE FFS WHY????), the enemy is not a demoman using a shield (charges remove debuffs, even afterburn and bleed, and the resistance of the shields will reduce the maximum damage your afterburn will deal) or someone from your team kills him before the 10 seconds. so the very minimum damage an enemy with afterburn will receive is degreaser afterburn for 1,5 seconds (mediguns and invisiwatches halves the duration of any debuff) meaning 3 extra damage, in the case of other flamethrowers it would be 6 ( demoman with the charger targe have 50% resistance to fire, being healed by a medigun, unless its the vaccinator, them you can just unninstal your game because God hates you :> )

Also the L'trangers ability to return cloak on hit mitigates the other weakess of the Dead Ringer too which is no cloak reacharg from ammo pickup or dispensers xd

they should add a flame thrower that stores a single projectile to be launched later, with huge fire damage penalty or no fire at all

i do just wanna say thats its really cool and refreshing hearing people not just using "he" for pyro

Living somewhere that has seen a good amount of snow and ice 5 months after Christmas I would argue forgetting the spy-cicle was not a mistake

Another thing that i think is severely underrated about the l'etranger's damage pen is that its actually an upside. As long as you're not at risk of dying, hitting an enemy once or twice more before killing them can be incredibly beneficial for your cloak meter, if you're using the dead ringer or can't find a ammo pack to use.

in the beginning of the video when you talk about primary weapons the demoman is using a stickybomb launcher, i find this acurate.

It's biggest weakness is not the damage but the clip size, if there is a push incoming and you need to kill a spy for example you need to choose between killing the spy or healing your sentry. But most of the time spies are not aware of their primary so you can just "random" crit them with a wrench. Rescue ranger can also random crit dealing -120 to whoever it hits, killed a pro sniper main once like that lol.

I Wonder if, whenever they rework the degreaser again (which will never happen), maybe have it so the afterburn duration is countered by possibly a longer flame reach since from an IRL stand point, grease is technically heavier (and should, with source spaghetti, fly further due to inertia like the SABW AND Bread milk) as well as being harder to put out (which is also not put in since the afterburn is shorter in-game and i also have no idea how they would implement the flame reach especially since the flame reach glitch happened). Or maybe more about 50% more ammo, leaving you at 300 and giving you 12 airblasts instead of the 8 it has currently, and if possible, a 15-30% fire damage increase if its not op since it quite literally does a mere 1 DPT with afterburn.

I pair it with the gunslinger all the time it makes you really good at combat without having to risk going into shotgun range, paired with the pistol it becomes amazing

I'm sorry, I tried to hold it in but after the 5th "l'etrange" within like 10 seconds, I have to put this out there. The revolver is called "l'Etranger" which means "the Stranger" and is, like many of Spy's weapons, a nod to a bit of literature. In this case it's the novel of the same name by Albert Camus in which the main character, a frenchman, uses a revolver to kill someone. The correct pronunciation is [letʁɑ̃ʒe] with the e at the end being vocalized. This is almost the case if you have an -er suffix in french. Easy way to remember: -e silent e, -er vocalized e. (Pronouncing the n is fine and correct. It's part of the ã)

Afterburn is also a nuisance at best and who needs afterburn if you can just combo the person to death instantly. Also my god but so many ppl negate this which is that the deploy speed of the degreaser allows you to have access to airblasting near instantly, allowing you to react to projectiles much better in case you’re caught by a soldier at close range while having your secondary out. This reason alone solidified it as a comp pyro exclusive primary tho. Despite how pyro is advertised, using the flamethrower as your only means of damage is actually the worst way to play him. Pyro is simply not a damage class and the flamethrower dps is really low, not to mention it’s pathetic range. So being able to swap between your burst damage secondaries and airblasts very quickly is too powerful to pass up

Hi, Medic and Soldier main here. I hate fighting Pyros who know how to flare punch. Pyros who know how to play are the real deal.

There's also the fact that the flare gun, detonator, or scorch shot's afterburn isn't nerfed, so if you have any of those, you can still benefit from regular afterburn. Just tag your target right before they leave your line of sight, and that aspect if it's downside is pretty much negated.

Despite your wall of text with no tl;dr, I'll instead undercut your premise. Combo pyro is good, but insinuating it *the* way to play Pyro is disingenuous. And that is evident by Pyros general unlocks not catering to the playstyle in the slightest. Combo Pyro Weapons: Degreaser Flare Gun Reserve Shooter Panic Attack Axtinguisher Weapons that are Certainly Viable for Combo Pyro but not Exclusive to it: Flamethrower Shotgun Stock Fire Axe (Viable?) Powerjack Backscratcher Third Degree (Does crit fishing on medics count as a combo?) Hothand (Not Viable, but if it was it'd fit here) Not Combo Weapins: Backburner Phlog Dragon's Furry Detonator Manmelter Scorchshot Homewrecker Sharpened Volcano Fragment Neon Annihilator Actively Hinders Combos: Gas Passer Thermal Thruster

@@Meshric im not talking about pubs lol, anything works there cuz most ppl are just bad at the game. In a more competitive setting pyro is reduced to pulling off combos and protecting his team as it's incredibly easy for someone with half a braincell to punish a wm1 pyro

wait do people actually get mad at you for referring to pyro gender-neutrally? i think the rescue ranger is definitely the most powerful of these weapons, but as an added note i wouldve liked to see demoman talked about. he has the booties in his technical primary spot, which can be used with stickies; not just demoknight. but you could also argue that his stickies are his true primary, meaning the jumper and shields would fit the criteria for this video. i understand not wanting to talk about demoknight as thats kinda a separate class in a sense with his sword as his primary, but talking about the booties paired with stickies and/or the jumper/shields paired with pipes wouldve been interesting.

Where is the wee booties?

hearing "litrahnj" over and over killed my soul. there is a pronunciation example on the tf2 official wiki please just check things before you butcher them dear god

The vid's great, but WHY ARE YOU SPELLING L'ETRANGER'S NAME LIKE THAT!? - a message from a once spy main

I love they/them pyro lets goooooo. thank you so much for not needlessly gendering an ambiguous character. As someone new to tf2 community i love the general positivity to progressive ideals like dis :D

Man, I love your videos, but you need to decrease your interp!!! You are making the game much harder to play by keeping it default, because every projectile weapon has a 100ms delay when fired! If you're using mastercomfig, you can type *snapshot_buffer=auto* into your modules file, or if not, *cl_interp_ratio 1* _then_ *cl_interp 0* in console. I hate to see people play TF2 at such a major disadvantage because of TF2's poopfart default netcode intended for stability on dial-up connections.

Why do you always sound like you're out of breath
