Yes, none of the puff'n'sting combos are twitch shots. But when your foe smartly stays just outside flamethrower range and jumps around to be unpredictable, twitch-shooting with the reserve shooter is a good counter.

The Loch and Load is still infuriating to fight against. Even without that damage bonus, it hits for ~100 at any range, because it still has no damage falloff! I hardly think that the loss of its 25% damage bonus is a nerf - properly it should have retained the damage bonus but gained damage falloff.

Not much different from a demo who's mastered the stock grenade launcher. Don't think the stock has damage falloff either. LnL just has faster projectiles.

Eeeh. I guess giving pipes damage falloff wouldn't completely ruin them. Rockets have falloff, for example. Rockets are more straightforward to shoot and hit with than pipes though. Rockets explode instantly on contact with people and surfaces, grenades only explode instantly on direct hits with players. Rockets travel in a straight line, pipes have more of an arc. Etc.

I'd have held onto that strange, if only for the collector's sentimentality because grabbing a strange is actually a rarity and everything in the Gun Mettle Update is finite in nature.

Hmm, true - but the increased projectile speed means that you can fire 100 damage nades at a much longer range, where a Soldier's rockets would probably be dealing 40 or so.

For the Gun Mettle update, I'm gonna hold on to my items (sold the first two before I thought of this) because since it's finite, the supply will dry up and the price will almost certainly go up.

Probably. :P

It's pretty bananas. You get up to 10 heads, and it feels like you're accidentally getting a full charge just waiting a couple seconds for someone to peek a corner. Even at like, 6 heads, it feels absurd. I don't know if it's really crazy OP or anything though, since it doesn't change anything that could've situationally been done with any other rifle. There's still a charge delay, so you can't do something really disgusting like scope a full bodyshot while fighting someone in close range, and normally it's functionally the same as encountering some sea turtle who's been hardscoped for 6 hours.

Really wondering if I should unbox the next case I get. It might give me a nice strange that I don't have yet, but it might also be shit :x

Don't. Last I checked, cases are extremely valuable. Not sure if it's still true. Keep it until the supply is not coming in any longer. It'll slowly rise in value, like bread boxes.

EDIT: Apparently my non-crafteable non-tradable strange haunted nightmare hunter hat from 2014's halloween update is worth a key. Why does backpack.tf show the item worth if it isn't even tradeable :c
