New Australium Weapon Ideas?

[Cowser the Khelinace]

Ahh, Australiums. The one reason we play MvM (aside from for fun). But, if we are being honest, the current roster of Australium weapons is getting pretty stale. Sure, Rocket Launchers and Sniper Rifles sell for a lot, but the cache could use an update.

If you have any ideas as to which weapons would be nice to be Australiumized, leave it down in the comments!

There are a few rules, however.

• Each class is to have 5 Australiums. That means that everyone except for Demo gets 3 new ones, where Demo gets 2.
  
• Having said that, multi-classes are kinda off the table (just for this discussion), meaning no Aussie Pistols or Shotguns (though they would be a nice touch).
  
• Reskins are not allowed, meaning no Breads, no Festives, etc.

Here is my current list of possible Australiums:
(??? means I don't currently have any other ideas for that class, *weapon*? means that I'm kinda iffy with it.)

1. Scout:
   1. Shortstop
      
   2. Sandman
      
   3. ???
2. Soldier:
   1. Direct Hit
      
   2. Beggar's Bazooka
      
   3. Market Gardener
3. Pyro:
   1. Backburner
      
   2. Flare Gun
      
   3. Phlogistonator
4. Demo:
   1. Chargin' Targe?
      
   2. ???
5. Heavy:
   1. Sandvich
      
   2. Killing Gloves of Boxing?
      
   3. Brass Beast?
6. Engie:
   1. Rescue Ranger
      
   2. Jag
      
   3. Gunslinger
7. Sniper:
   1. Machina
      
   2. Huntsman
      
   3. ???
8. Medic:
   1. Kritzkrieg
      
   2. Ubersaw
      
   3. Crusader's Crossbow?
9. Spy:
   1. Diamondback
      
   2. Revolver
      
   3. ???
   
   Again, if you have any ideas, go ahead and post!

How could you forget the potential of the Australium Shotgun? Like really that should always be at the top of the list lol

Why arbitrarily exclude the shotgun and pistol?

[[PPP] CCRemix]

Here's the problem...after mainly the stock weapons and a few unlocks..there's really not a whole lot of viable candidates for australiums...at least not three of every class, but i'll probably think of something

Scout: Mad Milk (because why not), Bat, and i guess Shortstop. I certainly wouldnt put in the sandman on that...

Heavy: Sandvich, Fists of Steel (because that would look cool), and hmm...i'll go with Natascha. Brass beast wouldnt look right with australium...i think.

Pyro: Backburner (obviously), Flare Gun, and Homewrecker

Demo: Loose Cannon and maybe Loch-N-Load (hard to think for demo)

Soldier: I personally think Soldier's fine but i'll think of something. More likely Direct Hit, Shovel, and Air Strike. They wont do the beggars...they just wont

Medic: Kritzkrieg, Ubersaw, Crusader's Crossbow. Nuff said

Engineer: Jag, Pomson 6000, and Gunslinger

Sniper: Huntsman, Kukri, and Hitman's Heatmaker

Spy: Revolver, Diamondback, and Spy-Cicle

I mean that's all i can really think about...some aussie versions just wouldnt make sense...especially a phlog pyro. Do you imagine the backlash if the tf2 general forums found out about austrailum phlog, a weapon they hate because they cant handle it in pubs? ...I'd love to see it honestly.

kgb and nothing else

It would kinda mess with the each class having only 3 new weapons rule, even though I agree they would be very nice additions.

I was mainly thinking of adding weapons that people in MvM love, rather than just pub-stomper weapons (with the exception of the Market Gardener, of course), the Phlog being one of them. That's also why I added the Beggar's Bazooka on my list (though I also thought of the Air Strike).

Ali baba's wee booties so we can have drip in tf2.

[Random Crit FTW]

Golden class primaries would be a huge money spinner ( gold statue making )
same drop rate as GP and same model as aussie primary.
