Weapon Changes

---

• 
  Updated the Flamethrower:
  
  • 
    Since launch, we've received feedback that Pyro is able to shred targets faster than they can react. In development, we disabled the "heat" system that scales damage with accuracy, allowing Pyro to always deal full damage regardless of how well they track you. To address this while maintaining Pyro's maximum potential, without inheriting the numerous issues with the older implementation, we're now rebasing our Flamethrower on changes made in another mod, Team Comtress 2:
    
    • 
      Re-enabled and overhauled the heat system. Damage now scales both by how consistently your flames are landing (accuracy) and a separate warmup ramp over continuous contact. Numerous bugs that caused flame damage to feel inconsistent or unreliable in Team Fortress 2 were fixed, and moment-to-moment changes in your accuracy affect your damage output much sooner.
      
      
    • 
      Airblast targets who are at point-blank range and are roughly in front of the Pyro can now be reflected/pushed even if they fall outside of the airblast cone, helping address some edge-cases where an airblast would fail against super close targets.
      
• 
  Updated the Harvester:
  
  • 
    Reduced self healing to 3 HP per tick (from 5 HP)
    
• 
  Updated the Cyclops:
  
  • 
    Can now defuse enemy Dynamite Packs
    
    
  • 
    Increased blast radius penalty to -20% (from -10%)
    
    
  • 
    Increased EMP radius to 196 units (from ~131)
    
• 
  Updated the Dynamite Pack:
  
  • 
    Increased primary ammo on wearer by 50%

  • 
    Added new sounds
    
    
  • 
    Reimplemented missing unique healing grenade trails
    
    
  •

Updated the Hunting Revolver:

• Removed +25 HP health bonus

if i got paid a dollar for every time eminoma gutted a weapon post-steam so it's obsolete to its stock counterpart, i'd have $2

 

[Jill Maween]

Another nerf to the dynamite pack, because it was obviously overpowered. Now you don't even have to wait for it to blow up once before being able to disable it, that's great and I'm sure it's a great incentive for Demoman players everywhere to start using it instead of mindlessly sticky spamming which is what most people have been doing so far.

The dynamite pack was already fine, it didn't do enough damage to break most buildings or kill most classes yet did some serious damage and the bomblets could be airblasted by a Pyro or destroyed by a Demo with the Cyclops upon first detonation, even then, if you were using it to destroy buildings, the engineer could just hit it with the wrench and it'd be disabled, and even if you still managed to slip the engineer and hit a combo on a lvl 3 sentry, it still wouldn't be enough to destroy it most of the time. You'd think, after all that, if you managed to hit both detonations, you would've deserved it, right?. No, fuck you. Now you don't even get to use your dynamite pack at all! Awesome!

 

[Shens]

aaand that makes $3

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

The change to the harvester seems to kinda fundamentally both misunderstand the weapon concept and the weapons game balance issue.

The harvester in concept is supposed to allow the pyro to flank more aggressively because he isn't as tied to his medic/dispenser and therefore team for healing. lowering the slow self heal aspect just makes the desired aspect of the weapon less appealing and therefore undercuts it's original purpose.

It's design problem lied with the fact that it was always an upgrade from stock from the pyro's point of view. Making it heal less doesn't change the fact that it still heals me, while fire axe does nothing. At no given point of gameplay am I in an advantage because I'm using the fire axe over the harvester, the advantage expressly only appears when I am not engaging in gameplay.

This is in generall understanding of balance is bad because it means people are not incentivized to engage with different tools.

If you had to nerf the harvester then nerf its base damage to like 45 pr hit. That way it's actually a worse fighting option when you don't have a harvester crit. This also prevents higher health classes from being guaranteed one tapped which is kinda bullshit while still allowing you to one tap lightclasses (IE: enemies you at that range, could effectively instant kill with flamethrower anyway)

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

I also don't think the health bonus was the problem most people had with the hunting revolver. was it weird that it had it considering how people decided to use it? sure, but that really was not the main issue.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

They changed the audio for the rejuvenator but they didn't fix the reload audio not syncing with the reload completion.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

also surely this would affect the tranquilizer and so it should be mentioned under the weapons change category right?

 

[Shens]

At no given point of gameplay am I in an advantage because I'm using the fire axe over the harvester, the advantage expressly only appears when I am not engaging in gameplay.

I will note, as a conscious Fire Axe main, that there is definitely an effect to having afterburn that I miss out on with the Harvester. As much as it's an easy condition to get rid of, given it does -60 in TF2C it's probably a priority for most to get rid of the effect. This would require retreating to a medic/dispenser/healthpack, or having your pyro teammate around and able to sacrifice 20 ammo for the extinguish. Or tank it (enduring the aim flinch if you're a sniper). It creates downtime within the enemy's frontlines even after you sacrifice by overextending, which seems to be a decent tradeoff. You don't really need to think about retreating and healing and whatnot, bombing correctly will still allow your teammates to follow up and take space.

Though I will agree that having great gamesense regarding Harvester usage does more impact by staying alive longer, not that I have frequent enough cases where I needed to retreat after pushing enemies to justify using it, lol.

I also don't think the health bonus was the problem most people had with the hunting revolver.

Yep, the +25 mostly saved the Sniper from chip damage. You could still win countersnipes by being overhealed. Or lose them if the enemy sniper's charged. And none of that stops the good HR player from still being able to grind classes out with rapid headshots. Just ask Icarus.
One problem that still persists is that, unlike stock, the HR can instantly quickscope headshots after pressing M2, without waiting for the 0.3s (or whatever it is on stock) delay. That one's a bug and also requires a high skill ceiling to pull off, and the significantly harder movement tracking due to the walkspeed buff is the main problem for me.

 

[Jill Maween]

Also someone tell the devs that this doesn't work, please.

The health kits part specifically, at least with the small ones.
