Caber Upgrades

[Darkswirl]

Bootcamp, pubs, doesn't matter. At one point or another we've all felt the need to mess around on MvM via Market Gardening bots, demo knighting (although I'm told it can be done very well, never seen it, personally), or any other means of debauchary.

Me, personally, I love Caber Knighting.

I understand its purpose as a last stand kind of thing or an explosive backstab in normal modes, but come one; this is MvM. Like the spy's sapper, shouldn't it get an upgrade for recharge so we don't have to buy any other upgrade from the shop just to get our beloved caber back? Why should death be the only option?

I agree. There should be a recharge timer upgrade available for the Caber. That would at least make it more interesting.

Meh,you'll get the same effect by upgrading your grenade launcher,charge inyo a group,use a crit canteen,shoot 2 pils and die instantly.

Cabering sucks both in PvP and MvM.

apparently you never last stand suicide demo before

also try koth harvest with the sticky jumper and parachute
its 100000X fun to watch people rage, use the same loadout, disregard the cp, and pretty much see flying demos with cabers tryiing to gib each other and most end up gibbing themselves

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

the caber
and
the booties too
maybe also the parachute

I've tried it. A lot. It sucks. You have 1 kill per life. What's the point?

trolling
works best on medics

although the whole point is just to aim for one specific target the whole match

They need to increase Caber damage so it one-shots Heavies and Soldiers. It's so frustrating when you drop out of the sky on some unsuspecting ground-dweller but they survive because they're so fat and you only get one shot.

The Caber is anyway weird.

You deal 150 Damage with the explosion, and 35 with the Meele hit. So, in theory, you deal 185 damage. BUT Sometimes, the Meele hit doesnt get registered, and sometimes, the whole explosion. I ended up just meele hitting someone with 35 damage, but the explosion "missed"

Not that this makes it effective, but you can get a new caber with a load out change in the spawn room. Just toggle presets and you're good. Refills health of course too. Also, shield resists work on the caber as well.

Get revived, have caber.

most of the time when I use a caber, it's in pvp when a sniper is pissing me off.

but if it had a few upgrades in mvm.....
shields get knockback resist upgrades
caber gets...
recharge speed upgrade, up to .5 seconds
damage upgrades, up to 500
blast radius upgrades, up to 200%
damage fall-off reduction upgrades, doing up to at least 90% max damage within blast radius
heal-on-hit upgrades, up to 75% damage done

total upgrades cost: at least 4000 because why the ♥♥♥♥ not

I agree with everything except the recharge is too fast. 2 seconds at best, maybe longer.
