What is TF2's Best Weapon Reskin?

  • Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand, if you understand the meme, it's nice to have a funny video to watch. But on the other hand, the weapon reskins meme is dumb and I don't know why or how it became a thing, and a lot of people probably think I'm a loony for continuing to quote it. Memes aside, I like both my audience and TF2's selection of reskins, so another video on them was absolutely necessary. This time, I'm looking at each one and determining whether it's better than stock. This is entirely preferential, but this is also my video and I do what I want, so while your opinion is welcome it's also objectively wrong in every way possible if you disagree with me.

    Yes, this was supposed to come out before the end of the year, but due to ~fun family holiday events~ time has been slim. Stuff will pick up quickly from now on though!
    Shameless algorithm stuff:
    Great Blue, Team Fortress 2, TF2, weapon reskins, gameplay, Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Spy, tier list, weapons, funny moments, update. We'll see if these do anything, won't we?

      Most of the reason why not is probably copyright issues. That said, I would absolutely love a "Clearance Mann Co Crate" that carries a few stranges that are either practically unboxable these days (like the Kritzkrieg) and a handful of stranges that don't exist yet. I want a Strange Thermal Thruster, Hot Hand, Sun on a Stick, Sharpened Volcano Fragment, etc... and lets not pretend this is going to take effort or anything.

    8:06 The Giger Counter actually pronounced gee-gur (rhymes with eager) counter. The name is a reference to both the geiger counter tool and to the surrealist artist HR Giger, who's most known for designing the creature from the Alien movies. The reskin itself is even based on the motion tracker from the films. While many people tend to say guy-gur when referencing the artist, the pronunciation is indeed different.

    FINALLY!! A VIDEO RANKING THE RESKINS!!
    I've always been a sucker for these reskins over the decorations and unusuals simply because of how colorful they are compared to their stock weapons. I've had my eyes on all the readily available ones for years, and I've even gotten myself the Lugermorph and Big Kill when I probably shouldn't have put the time and effort in, and it started from me wanting the Ham and Skull and finding them for cheap on a trading site.
    Currently I do not own the Batsaber, Black Rose, the bread items, all the sappers, the obvious Saxxy and Memory Maker, and the metal sandvich, which is the one that bums me out the most.

      I think the memory maker is included solely because you can have it unlocked for you through achievement servers (the same ones that give you the necro smasher, frontline field recorder, director's vision taunt etc). So a lot more people than you'd expect have access to it. Including me.

    Correction at 11:25 ; The game in question was not ARMA, but rather, a free to play shooter game called "Alliance of Valiant Arms" (A.V.A). The black rose was a promotional item that was in TF2 that was also in the game itself (Iirc you got it for free if you also played TF2). The game shut down in June 29, 2018, so as of now, the black rose is essentially a rare item only TF2 veterans kind of have now. The fact its also marked as an untradeable achievement item makes it so newer players will never have a chance to get this. unless they somehow get their hands on a tradeable one, which, god damn good luck.

  • @drivanradosivic1357

    Personally, I would love it if promo reskins got strange variants and strangifiers.
    Stock could have simple stats like extra ammo added for no random crits(stock scattergun and grenade launcher get two, rocket launcher, sticky launcher and shotgun get one extra shot), medic primary and melee should have alt fire that does burst healing as a start to give some features to the stock.
    Valve comp could drop strangerifers, killstreaks, even older collection item drops.

    • @dcp0102
      @dcp0102 Год назад

      ?????
      completely removing random crits from stocks would make them absolutely shit and one extra ammo does not make up for that at all, It, AND it would make them way more op on servers that have crits disabled by default, making every other weapon basically useless, stock medigun is also the best medigun already. thank god you dont work at valve. I agree comp should actually drop items though. Maybe people would actually play it

    • @drivanradosivic1357
      @drivanradosivic1357 Год назад

      @@dcp0102 You misunderstand, plus I probably explained it poorly so I don't put in a whole ass book in the comments section.
      My idea for STOCK with more ammo where appropriate is "you load more ammo, but have random crits disabled until you spend it all and do a normal reload" and yes with no random crits servers that might be OP. However, I want only stock to have that function, as well as where appropriate alt fires like for a obvious example of Scattergun, alt fire switches to and from a two shot mode(no random crits, -10% damage and 50% knockback for what is basically mini Force a Nature as a mode, but you can go two shot switch to normal shot and finish them off. or use the Two shot mode for air dodge tactics. you cannot use two shot mode with extra load, same for stock shotgun(which is more of a burst shot)).
      A good thing that you mentioned Medics wonderful stock medigun. the Medic Meta is such that the crossbow and ubersaw are most effective, think of it like if stock medigun had no uber and other mediguns did, not very good idea right? Medic primaries and melees need some alt fire that does bust healing, simply give syringe guns and crossbow types what is basically a sandvich(medium heath pack, 30 second cooldown, cannot throw it and pick it up to self heal, when at full health can pick up map health pack to replenish the med pack, gives 5% uber on heal) to throw on alt fire, while the melees get a injector syringe in the left hand that is a melee ranged sort of 20% health on hit that could give extra health and when on it's 15 second cooldown, you have a 25 damage plus 33% faster swing speed no random crits melee that on stock bonesaw gives 5% uber as a upside.
      stock melees could have a simple "third hit does XYZ", "alt fire does a wind up for minicrit damage" or for the Heavy "on kill: 5 seconds of speed boost" plus a new core class passive I call Rushing Slav for the Heavy that makes it so that with his main damage dealer holstered he is 15% faster with his other slots and it stacks with speed boosts as the new base speed on secondary and melee slots.
