Best Weapons in TF2 For Arbitrary Reasons
These are the best weapons; these are the reasons why:

Huo-Long Heater

This Minigun looks really cool, and it sounds really cool, and it makes a frickin badass ring of fire around you.

Pomson 6000

This gun sucks, it's like one of the worst in TF2. On the contrary, it looks :steamsunny: and if you kill someone with it, you get to laugh at them for dying to the Pomson.

The Machina

Another weapon that looks cool, and it sounds cool, and it all can kill players and their ear drums. It has has the niche ability to kill Natascha and Brass Beast Heavys, but who cares about that.

The Phlogistonator

The most fun you can have on Pyro is using this and then killing like half the enemy team. There's also a Strange Collectors for it, and I think that's neat.

L'Etranger

This one is actually legitimately good. It's pretty big passive buff and it's not significantly worse than stock. You can also use it with the Dead Ringer to feel like you're playing with the pre-nerfed one.

Gunboats

Rocket Jumps become free at the cost of being bullied by Pyros who can resist spamming M2. In other words, it's usually pretty free to use.

Bonk! Atomic Punch

Low-key underrated as hell. The only real downside is not having one of Scout's other insane secondaries. You can often flank and get free back-caps in pubs, and there's so legit uses in being bait for a sentry while someone else destroys the gun. The latter requires teamwork so don't expect that to work very often.

v1 of Tide Turner, not the current one

Specifically the release version of this weapon because it was fun to abuse. It definitely deserved it's nerf though. It used to do full crits instead of minis, gave you all your charge back on kill, and it also didn't have that weird lose charge when you get hit mechanic.

Baby Faces Blaster

You can check my post history for more info.

Beggars Bazooka

Another legitimately good weapon. You barf rockets on people, and plus overload jumping is badass.

Shortstop

I'd say it's probably the worst Scattergun in the game, but I still like the gun. It also has a weird hidden stat that summons a specific forum user when you talk about it.

Natascha

I don't care if I'm mean and evil for using it, I like using the Natscha. May chaos take the world!

Your Eternal Award

Probably my favorite Spy knife because I like the mechanics of it, even though that cloak drain hurts my souls when I equip it.

C.A.P.P.E.R.

Laser pistol, it shoots lasers and disintegrates players. It looks cool as well. It's basically a direct upgrade to the stock pistol even though they're identical.

Panic Attack

This weapon is fun to use on Soldier since you can basically insta kill any class with 150hp or lower. On anyone but Soldier, I think it's mediocre and boring.

Escape Plan

I like this weapon specifically for blowing people up with the taunt kill through spawn gates. Also if you use it with the Conch, Soldier can be the only other class in TF2 to move at max movement speed besides Scout, at least to my knowledge. I don't count Demo shields since those exceed the speed cap when charging.

Thank you for reading my thread :steamhappy:

Also this thread is actually just the weapons I use when I play TF2 in disguise, but don't tell anyone I said that 🤫

Another banger thread
10 of these weapons are legitimately just really good weapons
Liberty Launcher because the firing sound was used as the default rocket launcher firing sound in Tetragon Fortress 2 or whatever the old roblox version of TF2 was called. Also it looks :steamsunny: and the name is :steamsunny:

Why must we jump to violence so soon in this world?

The Liberty Launcher is :TeamUSA: 🦅 but I hate the weapon so it doesn't get a spot on my list.

Hou-Long heater my personal GET THE ♥♥♥♥ AWAY FROM ME minigun, also good for blocking spies from getting through small pathways without being detected

Pomson 6000 it's so slow i've seen scouts run into it by accident, they seemingly have no control, it also drains uber and cloak so can prevent a uber push if you're skillful and can prevent a cloak and dagger from feigning death for a few seconds long enough to buy time to secure their funeral

Machina/ Shooting Star i can shoot through team mates. that's it./ i can evaporate you with a one shot.

Cow Mangler 5000 i named mine [BIGSHOT] and mostly use it for it's charged shot especially on snipers

The Panic Attack i'm the engineer in tubine maze waiting to ambush your team solo and get a clean kill on the heavy before they can even be fully revved up. this gun is built different and great for meat shots of giant slow open targets that don't know any better.

the Direct Hit what can i say? sometimes'a good sometimes'a ♥♥♥♥, the minicrit blast jumped targets comes in handy far more often than you'd think and you can even blast a heavy up and minicrit him if you're skillful enough with aim and timing. Feels amazing to use and a breath of fresh air compared to SPLASHY SPLASHY over there also one hitting half the players at close range is great cause they never learn to dodge or jump cause they assume i aim at their feet. I KNOW HOW TO AIM. maybe strafe more and ya wouldn't die to it or be more skillful on movement. i've dodged rockets as heavy. no excuses.

Gun Boats damage seems to be the same across all rocket launchers except the jumper which is really weird. i expected the damage addition or subtraction on launchers to be used for self damage but it doesn't unless it's damage nullification. huge bug that makes the liberty launcher have less use and makes the direct hit better with rocket jumping. also cause i fly over 2fort like a bird that can one shot your snipers back. CAW! CAW!

L'Etranger i use it for the extra cloak meter. don't judge me.

The Enforcer i use it's resistance bypass to screw over wrangled engineers. i'm not fond of the wrangler either even though i love playing engineer. feels disgraceful but very rewarding to punish.

Most people play Pyro because they have a Soldier hate boner, I play Pyro because I get a kick out of making people's day absolutely miserable with Phlog + Scorch spam :steamhappy:

Also nice Elden Ring (AKA Dark Souls 2 2) reference Jungus! :steamhappy:

i play pyro cause it's easy burning down their whole team especially when they push too far, let their guard down and the scorch shot i just use to stun or get double hits on enemies.

The Brass Beast is the only weapon in TF2. Everything else is just toys for children`s hands.
