Team Fortress 2
Weapons you use that aren't popular.
I wanna say meta but I'm still confused on the meaning of it. Anyways, what weapon do you use SERIOUSLY and OFTEN that most don't? Using the third degree every now and then for jokes doesn't count.
Me, mantreads. I rarely use them with actual rockets but I love market gardening and I always use mantreads ( nearing 150 kills on it) with market garden. this means more so now since everyone uses base jumper now (crutchitess maximus). The push reduction I find is too situational in situations that don't include market gardening, unless you are facing 10 FaN scouts. So, how bout you?

met·a
ˈmetə/
(of a creative work) referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential.
It basically means Genre or Community Savvy.

I never use Gunslinger out of morality reasons but a meta hated weapon would be Mantreads or Shortstop. I use Shortstop sometimes though.

Not sure about Hue Long Heatmaker but it's my second most used Minigun.

Both are used somewhat, but of course degreaser and maybe phlog get used more. And most miniguns are more popular, so I'd take it.

Recently, I've been using The Wrap Assassin.
A nice panic wep, works well with the BFB.

but the third degree IS an upgrade to stock with no downsides and actually an upside if they are connected by medibeam
hmm...probably the eviction notices neon inhilator, and the volcanoe fragment just for the fire damage it does on degroot

So underrated. Melee for scout is rarely used and this gives a free ~50-70 damage overtime with good range. And you can still kill really low health classes with melee if needs be, unlike the fan.

is the family buisness considered meta? i use it sometimes.

I love the Fan o' War, I know there are better choices than this, but it's actually really good. Sadly, I wish they would change the strange ranking to mark of death instead of kills. Nonetheless, it's a fun tool.

didnt you read, he uses it with the BFB, for the speed boost obviously. Goes with your saying that no scout uses melee as much, so its a hit and run, chasing after them faster and shooting point blank, or running away

By meta do you mean that the meta is that it's very much used or meta in that it's mocked by the community?

Because one meta is that if your a Heavy and you have anything but a Sandvich then your not a real Heavy at all.

Then, I guess the problem is that I play on Volvo servers too much?
Correct.

What are you saying, I'm just saying people undermine the wrap assassin, and I agree that it's not used often.
