Aye, that's the way ye do it! Hehah!
The Demoman on sticky jumping training techniques

The Sticky Jumper is a training secondary weapon for the Demoman class. Almost identical in appearance to the Stickybomb Launcher, it features a painted-on orange muzzle on the front and an orange and white stripe pattern on the magazine, as well as a lack of a front iron sight present on the default Stickybomb Launcher.

As a training item, the Sticky Jumper fires completely harmless stickybombs, which lack their spikes, allowing players to freely practice sticky jumping techniques. The ammo count for the weapon is also tripled in comparison the Stickybomb Launcher, giving the user forty-eight extra stickybombs to use.

The stickybombs do not travel as far as the other stickybomb launchers. Additionally, the weapon cannot score critical hits.

Bugs

  • There have been instances where a player has acquired the Scottish Resistance taunt achievement Second Eye with this item.
  • After being launched, the projectiles will have the Grenade Launcher particle effects on them.
  • The jumpers projectiles "change teams" upon being reflected, but are still detonated by the Demoman with the jumper. They do not, however deal damage except to the Pyro who reflected them.
  • Projectiles cannot be moved or destroyed except by the player who laid the stickybombs.
  • Like the default Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman doesn't use his second to hold the handle in first person view. Additionally, although appearing in the world model, the view model has no second handle at all.

Trivia

  • The RED projectile model was originally added in the WAR! Update for the Scottish Resistance but was unused in favor of the Scottish Resistance's final projectile design.
  • The Sticky Jumper projectiles have a shorter arc than those of regular Stickybomb Launcher projectiles.
