Wait, doesn't targe replace the grenade launcher and booties sticky launcher? I'd like to use targe with normal launcher, I much prefer it to sticky bombs because bouncing grenades is where it's at.

On another note, how do I taunt kill with the scout? I did it just fine with huntsman sniper, but when I try to hit g with baseball bat the scout just performs a normal taunt instead of trying to hit someone with his bat.

Sticky grenades are what takes the demoman from a black bouncy soldier to an area denying fuck'em'up machine.

area denying fuck'em'up machine.
QFT.

It one of my worst classes, but with the highest score. It can yield more kills-per-life than an engy as you're more mobile.

Demopan with the frying pan, shield, glasses, and treasure hat is what makes it god-mode.

Demo is probably the most versatile class in the game. IMHO, the scariest.

One of the hardest to master as well.

Unless you just spam in tight maps.

Which is what most people do before switching to scout in open maps.

They should make a meele weapon replacement for the Demo that grants a stat boost instead of attacking. Maybe a couple extra bombs for his vest that explode when he dies.

Then he could have a hypothetical loadout with no actual attacks- the shield, the boots, and the vest.

That's a boring way to play, though. I like to be on the offensive, blasting apart sentries and heavies.

And damn, if I can't even taunt kill with default bat how will I ever get the achievements to get the sandman? Seriously, scout achievements are freaking impossible, I only have 3 and I have more than double playtime with scout than any other class while having 10+ achievements with some other classes. Oh well, I guess I can go farm some more sniper achievements to get razorback, the class is virtually unplayable without it because it seems like 50% of every team is spies.

Well, the shield will do alot of damage upon hit, so he can charge and run the hell away, till they die.

You still use the sticky grenades for this. You just have to learn to place them properly.

Hm, do explosions propagate through walls or what? If not, how can I use stickies against sentries behind corners?

Shoot them in front of the sentry The blast area is quite large, so it should hit it.

Close is close enough. Also, make sure there are at least 3 before detonating, and having a distraction helps.

How large are we talking? The sentries I meet tend to be like 5m away from the corner.

Try to look around the corner, and even shoot the stickies on the wall opposite of the sentry. Just get 5 or so stickies near it and it's going down.
