— The Demoman on fast stickybomb bombardment
|
” |
The Quickiebomb Launcher is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a black, sleek stickybomb launcher with a wooden foregrip and stock, and a belt wrapped around the drum-shaped magazine. A piston-like wooden and metal charging handle sits above the base of the stock, directly attached to the back of the barrel.
The stickybombs fired by this weapon are spiked, with glowing team-colored sections. They are armed 0.2 seconds more quickly, allowing the user to detonate them after roughly half a second and optimizing them for quick in-combat detonations (or "airbursting"). Additionally, due to a 70% decrease in time to maximum charge, the charge meter is filled up after only roughly one second instead of four and the increase damage based on charge, up to 35%, allows for long-range "sticky sniping" at a much higher rate of fire and deal more damage. The stickybombs are also able to destroy enemy stickybombs, similar to the Scottish Resistance. However, the Quickiebomb Launcher has a 50% smaller clip size (loading only 4 bombs at a time), and its stickybombs deal 15% less damage when uncharged compared to the Stickybomb Launcher.
The bonus damage for charging up stacks multiplicatively with the -15% base damage per bomb and lasts for the duration of the stickybomb's life. This allows the user to set up more powerful stickybomb traps by charging up each bomb.
The Quickiebomb Launcher was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
