I miss the Ullapool Caber taunt kills...

[Razorkiller]

Even if the weapon was nerfed to the bull state. Would be at LEAST fair if they left the taunt kill ability. Probably the most fun thing you could go with the caber.

Do some research. It did back in the old days of TF2.

It never had

Please find a source to back up your claim. I don't remember it ever doing damage while taunting, and the only source I could find was a server plugin made in 2012, which allowed it. As far as I know, it never did any damage in unmodded servers.

old days of tf2 meaning 2007? still cant find any evidence of that

The only evidence I would and could provide is TF2Wiki video weapon demonstrations.

But due to weapon changes these videos had to be updated a lot over time. And to be precise: there was a video demonstrating that ullapool caber could taunt kill. But that was obviously replaced by new versions. I only remember it was being functional without plug-ins, being official thing on its own until changed for unknown reasons, because VALVe never specified the reason on this particular case why was it removed. (Probably because you could give crits with Kritzkrieg for the taunt? But I doubt)

I can only assure you that oldschool players will recognize it having this function. On the part of evidence I cannot sadly provide but there are hordes of topics about this being mentioned.

Trivia on demoman taunt has it. Functionally as bottle taunt kill but removed

[Soggy Bread]

Tf2 Wiki:
The Demoman tosses his Ullapool Caber into the air, catches it, shows it to his opponent and uses it to whack the area in front of him. This taunt does not injure or kill opponents. He says one of the following:
"I'm goin' ta blast ya into thin gruel!"
"Oooohhh, I'm gonna liquefy ya!"

The taunt is what I hear to be a scrapped one for the bottle that was reused, but not certain. It was never able to taunt kill even though it looks as if it could, people have made mods for it to kill though.

[Tsai]

Yeah, it was scrapped later on and made to a real weapon that still has no taunt kill. Eh I missed more on the previous caber damage but it was nerf so hard it can barely kill anything now.(Unless your enemy is severely injured and also yourself)

[Tsai]

Also I found it a bit funny but no offense. People told you to look for your claim is true or not, cause most of us hate hoax or any news/feature that is a fake yet they didn't bother searching in the first place for it. Just because you decline their claim doesn't mean only you asks for their proof, but they might(indirectly, possibly directly) ask yours too. Don't take this to argument though

And I'm pretty sure there would be a video somewhere showcasing the caber being able to taunt kill, even if they removed it. I did my research, cause your claim conflicts with my memory. I can find hordes of topics, yes, but not one single person mentioning it ever being able to taunt kill. People have been asking for it, but as far as I can conclude it never could taunt kill.

And at what point can you be described as an "old schooler"? I know I "came late to the party" as TF2 states it, but the caber was added 2 years before I began playing. The taunt was added to the caber less than a year before I began playing.

The update log on the wiki also only states two kill icons. Taunt kills usually have their own icon, but the caber only has two, one for the first hit and one for kills with non-explosive hits.

EDIT: This is from the TF2Wiki after the taunt was added to the caber:

October 13, 2011 patch, added a taunt for the caber
this patch added the scraped "offer bottle bash" taunt that was for the bottle, to the caber. sadly, it isn't a taunt kill, i tested it. he has two responses:

"Oh... Im going ta LIQUIFY yah!"

"Im goin to blast ya inta THIN GLUE"

Thats all i got, maybe they will make it into a taunt kill, like the kamikaze taunt, except you have to land a hit to explode or something Firehazard42, The confused Pyro 17:55, 13 October 2011 (PDT)

It's fine that you can't find proof of your claim, but I just find it hard to believe you when you apparently are the only guy on the internet to believe it ever had a taunt kill in vanilla.

It's not that I'm declining to showcase a proof or any specific evidence. I would provide one if there was an example. Besides trying to search up Ullapool Caber weapon demonstration video and look it up on WaybackMachine and results were too vague. Because I know the channel had to remove few videos from existence and re-upload new ones.

Once more, players who are familiar with this function will remember it. All I can say additionally is that the voicelines were intended for the Ullapool Caber taunt kill. Because he does swing it subtly after saying the lines.

I have to cut the quote because my answer is only : I know what you're trying to say

Just the opinion on my head that may actually help people since it helped me two or three times.

I don't understand if this was directed at OP or the ones that are trying to disproove him. Either way, I searched and found nothing.

Can say for both

Well I'm not those player back then but I had a friend who told me once about it. So I searched it and I only found it was scrapped(Demoman Taunts TF2 Wiki, Trivia section). Pretty much around couple years ago. Reason I still remember this cause my friend didn't realize he was playing on a modded server. So no ones fault for approving/disapproving.

I'm also giving the place where I found to approve it a bit, so people know where to look at if they can't find one. Still though, I'm not trying to be a toxic peeps about my opinion, just giving it one that may help you one day.
