Legend:

DS = Dragon Slayer
A = Australium
---------------------

#01 - DS Shotgun $001.29 10/10 (Multi-class, no annoying red or blue colors)
#02 - DS Scattergun $001.33 9/10 (Great design, much better than Australium)
#03 - A Ambassador $024.34 9/10 (Team color handle, absolutely covered in gold)

A Tiers are good looking, decent price | Scores: 7 - 8 | 7 items

#04 - A Scattergun $064.30 8/10 (Good overall, handle good, reload lever bad)
#05 - DS Rocket Launcher $000.80 8/10 (Good design, blue on right side creative)
#06 - DS Sniper Rifle $001.20 8/10 (Good design, blue wire near scope creative)
#07 - A Rocket Launcher $081.90 7/10 (Good design, too much faded color)
#08 - DS Grenade L $001.04 7/10 (Fantastic design, good color all around)
#09 - A Grenade L $036.00 7/10 (Fantastic design, slightly worse than DS)
#10 - A Sniper Rifle $061.78 7/10 (Scope isn't re-skinned, only some gold)

B Tiers are good, mostly worth it | Scores: 5 - 6 | 8 items

#11 - DS Medi Gun $001.17 6/10 (Good design, too much white, no red)
#12 - A Stickybomb L $034.15 6/10 (Nice looking all around)
#13 - A Tomislav $037.73 6/10 (Good overall, better than Australium Minigun)
#14 - A Medi Gun $112.24 5/10 (Gold in right places, but black is ugly)
#15 - DS Minigun $000.95 5/10 (Good portion covered, but no one plays Heavy)
#16 - A Fame Thrower $043.67 5/10 (Good, too much gold, propane tank is ugly)
#17 - A Force-A-Nature $024.16 5/10 (Fairly nice in gold)
#18 - A Frontier J $025.18 5/10 (Good overall, weird engi bits not good in gold)

C Tiers are decent, but not good | Scores: 3 - 4 | 8 items

#19 - A Black Box $030.52 4/10 (Just box in gold, not very creative)
#20 - A Minigun $049.98 4/10 (Too much black, white tank is half-colored)
#21 - A Eyelander $081.61 4/10 (Re-skinning battle-worn sword to gold is lazy)
#22 - DS Knife $001.16 4/10 (Terrible handle, blue screws creative design)
#23 - A Wrench $068.12 4/10 (Good Overall, Gold only on top half)
#24 - DS Dragon's Fury $001.22 3/10 (Ugly model, fantastic skin)
#25 - A SMG $015.18 3/10 (Good overall, grey and black sights ruin it)
#26 - A Knife $044.02 3/10 (Gold screws creative design, lazy reskin of stock)

D Tiers tend to look bad, and too spendy | Scores: 1 - 2 | 2 items

#27 - A Blutsauger $013.38 1/10 (Not worth re-skinning in gold, ugly model)
#28 - A Axtinguisher $013.77 1/10 (Gold only on axe bit, ugly model)

Notes:
Dragon Slayer Rocket Launcher best bang for the buck at only 80 cents!
Australium Medi Gun biggest rip-off at $112.24.
Dragon Slayer Shotgun best overall winner, best design, goes with 4 classes, is only $1.29!

TL;DR

[Lovely]

Let me know what you think. For me, this ranking solidifies my belief that SOME (not most) Australium weapons are simply not worth it, seeing as most of their Dragon Slayer counter-parts look much better.

I disagree

Could you please be more specific? I'd really like to get a lot of opinions on this rank list, so I can have the best listing of which Dragon Slayer / Australium weapons people like the most.

Which parts do you disagree with?

I wasn't responding to you or anyone. If I was, it would have a quote version, like this one does.

I'll wait until your phone is fully charged and / or you decide to comment using your pc.

This is valuable information to me.

dragon slayer not being strange also plays into it not being used as much

dunno why it wasn't civilian grade because of that, same with the smissmass sweater war paint

[Bad Harmony]

Dragon slayer looks meh on all guns except dragon's fury which it was primarly designed for, being the only with visible dragon head pattern and reminiscent of the name itself.

Ontop of that the fact it cannot be strange it's huge bs, same for smissmass sweater.

Aussie skins are generally good looking for all weapons.


All of the above in my opinion, of course.

I do agree with this. Although the Dragon Slayer skins can easily compete with the Australium skinned weapons, the Australium weapons ARE actually Strange and count kills.

Do you think if these Dragon Slayer skins could be strange they'd rise in value in terms of item worth? Item worth being not only the value, but also simply "would I equip this over more expensive items in this loadout slot".

I think the Dragon Slayer skins are elite because the design looked like it was elite worthy, if that makes any sense.

And I mostly agree with your opinion. Not being Strange is a big downside for these weapons. I'd have to disagree with design. Some Australium weapons simply look dumb to me (Blutsauger and Knife to name a few) and even some of the more popular ones like the Sniper Rifle just don't look as good as the Dragon Slayer variants to me.

Could this just be me being biased against Australiums? Yea, maybe, but I ask that you consider the design of the Dragon Slayer skin and compare it to the Australium skin. What I see is more detail / creativity in the Dragon Slayer skin as compared to just the gold version of stock weapons.

After all, even the Golden Frying Pan is just a color swap combined with mat_phong.

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

Dragon Slayer skins get hurt by the fact that they cannot be strange IMO... They look nice though on specific weapons yeah...

[skooma]

gold is better than orange scales, even when it covers the whole gun
