New heavy secondary idea: +speed (you’re now as fast as scout) +double jump ability -175 health -you’re minigun becomes a pistol +you are now the scout
It’s nice to see an actually funny up and coming Tf2 RUclipsr. This video was pretty funny and I loved the references to other creators. Keep up the good work and I hope your girlfriend has a speedy recovery
8:38 ~ I have some good news for you. The TF2 Balance Mod actually has a buff to the stock Fists that increase your Shotgun reload speed by 20% and it's really not that impactful on how powerful any of the Shotguns operate (also because the stock Fists are pretty much not worth using unless you really want to).
Panic Attack + Fists of Steel is such a good combo. Just walk at people with 40% resist and try to force a melee, then fast swap to the Panic Attack and take advantage of its increased damage at point-blank. You can swap between the FoS and PA whenever damage comes your way to consistently poke people as you close the distance as well.
the recently buffed GRU are also a highly underestimated option for fat scout, especially when you're exploiting flank routes. since the health drain is far less of an issue in combat than the marked for death effect was, gone are the days of never actually using the GRU in combat and since they now do full melee damage and have random crits enabled, they can bring the pain like few other weapons in the game, making them perfect for picking off really annoying stuff like vaccinator medics. also in the worst case scenario the GRU can only ever drain you down to 100 health, making you slightly less tanky and a tiny bit slower than an actual scout, but those instances are few and far between since you usually won't have the GRU out for the whole match.
damn that video is filled with other youtubers reference. i saw mostly lazypurple with the how it feel videos and soundsmith at the end with the stereotypes intros i like it
There's actually a little known strategy I've been using to be able to fatscout/flank heavy pretty damn efficiently. That is to use the huo long heater as the weapon to take advantage of once you close down the flank as the fatscout. Both these playstyles compliment each other and are pretty great (especially with the kgb) imo
My problem with fat scout was always my shotgun aim. After this video, I used the Family Business and held down M1 and tracked like it was a minigun and my aim exponentially improved. Thank you, Bean.
@@P-Bean Maybe the lunchboxes should/could be equipped over primaries? I play a lot of fat scout and feel like it might actually be a legit strat if heavy still had a lunchbox, even if it means sacrificing a primary.
that'd honestly be really cool to see dolokas bar with the shotgun would be really neat the worst part about fat scout is how you have a whole weapon slot just doing nothing at all
I could NOT stop laughing at the “oh dear” from demoman cause i know EXACTLY what thats referencing and MY GOD thank you. I did not know i needed this but you’ve made my day 50x better lol
You run the Fists of Steel with the Panic Attack and bait people to get close to you with the Fists out only to capitalize on the Panic Attack’s switch speed to catch them with their melee out. Having Fists out when you roam makes you a lot more resilient to Snipers, Mini-Sentries, and random chip damage/afterburn caused by flares.
HOLY CRAP, P-Bean your reference to the demo man shooting around the corner at the heavy clip on those stairs was so perfect. What a comedy genius this funny man is
The way I play fat scout is *defending* the flank. I don't make super ambitious pushes unless it looks pretty promising. Its insane how many people you can shut down just chilling in a flank route and using your shotgun
fat scouting is really fun on heavy! its a meme strat with surprising viability no matter what shotgun you use. i play on community servers with generally experienced players, and it STILL works! plus theres some really cool custom heavy shotguns that are really good for fat scouting
I commonly see like actual fat scouts in packs as well. I think it's because it's a powerful meme, you said it yourself, it's effective, so people see one fat scout fucking around and say "hey I can do that and be mildly effective let's do it!"
0:56 They travel in packs because one person does it, everyone decides it looks like fun, then they're out rolling with brass beasts and family businesses.
5:30 it seem as though i recognise this reference from a certain well known human being known from creating team fortress 2 content on a platform i enjoy and another human being now referencing a part of his created content on said platform too and now i will initiate the laugh mechanism.
One of the best spots for fat scout I've noticed is right outside the enemy spawn doors on KotH Nucleus where the 2 small health packs and 2 medium ammo packs spawn, in that long room. You can heal 120 health every 10 seconds and block off and entire side of the map for the enemy.
I think heavy should get a revolver for his minigun slot called "the rushin' roulette" which boosts his secondary reload speed and lunchbox cooldown speed by about 40% each. It'd be useful for hoovies who want to produce sandviches faster and don't care about fighting, buffalo steak heavies who only want to use their melee or fatscouts who would need a faster reload speed.
1 in 6 To Crit 1 in 6 chance to shoot yourself. Crits are 3 times as effective. Watch some J******. get eviscerated laugh about shooting Them themselves Laugh harder when they critically shoot themselves.
I've been playing tons of fat scout recently and I feel like you glossed over how valuable just having control of a flank can be. You don't need to take advantage of it and hit the enemy team from the side or behind to be effective. If you're shutting down the entire flank then you're keeping anyone from being able to do that to your own team. 1 player eliminating the efforts of potentially lots of enemies so their team can focus on the main fight without unexpected interruptions. Honestly they should just make the lunchbox items equipable in primary slots too so you can take a banana, sandvich, or dalokohs with you for the little bit of extra sustain you might need to survive multiple fights easier. It'd be such an easy change and there's no chance it ends up being overpowered because you're giving up the goddamn minigun for it.
Something that I don't think was mentioned that much was the health. Whenever I do fat scout (with no medic) I seem to just loose health in any interaction, and it's hard to get back cause your slow and moving around the map to get health takes a while, but one of the solutions is to use the fists of steel, which kind of helps? Idk, how well it I should cause whenever your fighting you obviously have your shotgun out, and not the gusts, so their basicly only good for when that scout is shooting you across the map with his scattergun dealing 3 damage.
"Fat Scout" is just some dumb joke until you see a goddamn furious Russian rolling his wall of fat at you with a fully loaded shotgun aiming at your face.
While watching the end for the second time I thought it might make sense to buff the family business in a way like the Persian persuader - half the primary ammo for the heavy but buff the reload speed by 20% and base speed by 5%
imagine you're playing on 2fort or some shit and the fucking entire enemy team is playing brass beast, completely revved up, slowly crawling by, absolutely fucking murdering anyone in their path like a mix of tortoises and army ants
I encourage everyone to try and get good at integrating the shotgun into their heavy game. Iv been doing that and it’s pretty refreshing not always using the sandvich.
I think a change that I’ve been really advocating for heavy (as well as others) is the separation of shotguns and sandviches (yes I know their lunchboxes, but that’s a better name. Actually give the heavy a mini update, shotguns and sandviches where they just split the secondaries into two different slots. You get a shotgun and a lunchbox item)
how to pick fights as heavy........ let them come to you stand your ground and never chase that cheeky spy that failstabbed you and is now running up some stairs
The quick switch speed on the panic attack works well with the killing gloves of boxing, as they can be used to finish an enemy off and give you crits on the panic attack.
We need to create the hybrid scout, like a demoknight with a grenade launcher, we have a fat scout with a minigun. Or basically someone has to convince heavy to drop the sandwich.
One thing you talked about and as heavy main i totally agree: Reloading is annoying as fuck, it's literally probably the main reason i usually only play Heavy and Pyro
![[TF2] Why Dustbowl is Hated](/img/1.gif)
New heavy secondary idea:
+speed (you’re now as fast as scout)
+double jump ability
-175 health
-you’re minigun becomes a pistol
+you are now the scout
lol
but your hitbox is still massive though....
@@danielthanh111 Patch Notes:
-Height reduced.
-Width reduced.
you deserve a freakin oscar
But you can use the family business
5:30 fucking love this moment lmao. Its exactly the opposite of what happened
Nice LazyPurple reference.
@@xoxan5599 yes :D
I fucking love that joke.
he forgot the "oooh shit...."
5:31 lazy purple flashbacks
9:17 soundsmith flashbacks (sterepotypes videos)
I knew it had to be a lazy purple reference
2:18 Cube escape: Arles
the default shotgun is a formidable weapon and most people don't give it enough credit.
I agree, you can get frags with literally just the rocket jumper and the stock shotgun. It's good.
I prefer the panic attack, the fixed spread is really helpful.
I use it as my main on Battle Engie because all of the other options have some downside I cannot easily play around
except scout. because it's a same weapon
yes
You don't have a secondary, but if you use the gloves of running urgently you can finish the enemy except when if it's a good pyro
Gotta mobilize fellow pyro mains here before y’all attac us
the second those gloves comes out you’re getting airblasted to the shadow realm
I know this is a bad idea, but on paper, the eviction notice is also a good choice because it has no holster drawback and it hits like scout's melees
By good pyros to mean right click
And then get easily picked off cuz your health drains like the lifespan of a cockroach.
Everybody is talking about lazy and purple and soundsmiths references but what about sam'onella?
hey kids
As well as Asumsaus.
I've not heard that name in a long while
I miss him

Why, yes, I do use my minigun as a secondary.

Lol

what about sam'o nella reference?
What Fat Scout needs is something to replace his minigun; probably a passive item.
This is fact

Thank you, Bean.
I for real believe Heavy should have four weapon slots, so he can equip a shotgun and a lunchbox item.
it'd be weird to implement and might be overpowered
shotgun is already a fine alternative to a lunchbox
but cool idea, wonder if it'd work
@@P-Bean Heavily disagreed, but glad to see you can at least entertain the idea. However, only one way to know if it’d work in game :DDD
@@P-Bean Maybe the lunchboxes should/could be equipped over primaries? I play a lot of fat scout and feel like it might actually be a legit strat if heavy still had a lunchbox, even if it means sacrificing a primary.

Heavy: i need a sandvich!
Family buisness: I'm here to help you!
HOLY CRAP, P-Bean your reference to the demo man shooting around the corner at the heavy clip on those stairs was so perfect. What a comedy genius this funny man is
When using fat scout i like it when they turn a 180 and run when they see what they’re up against
The fact the scout just ran up to the soldier then both of them blew up at 8:57 is the reason why I love TF2 so much.
Underrated RUclipsr, also glad to hear shes alright!
A group of fat scouts is terrifyingly effective. Watching the notorious scoundrels is a good example id say
The lazy purple segment was so genius . I was just thinking about it right before you brought it up lol.
8:18 I'm actually fat irl. And I can take that insult because it's not obese fat. Just "fun to hug" fat.
this is great, amazing editing and great style! hope the algorithm really starts picking you up soon!
fat scout is the meta because everyone know that shotguns in games are op
The way I play fat scout is *defending* the flank. I don't make super ambitious pushes unless it looks pretty promising. Its insane how many people you can shut down just chilling in a flank route and using your shotgun
Great video man, looks like I'm going to have to buy a collectors professional killstreak family business
Nice to see you here!
I remember when a dude on the enemy team was playing fat scout. He top scored on his team and was actualy pretty scary to fight against
i love how at he casually calls sam o nella god
Shut up guys, P-Bean uploaded.

Personally, I like using the stock shotgun more when fat scouting.
You really can't go wrong using it.
9:01 I love the sign that enemy heavy is using
Love the Sam 'o Nella reference lol
Yes, finally an aducated one
That was good "How it feels to play Demoman" short clip parody

Great job with the editing! You kept it interesting and this was very thorough. Keep up the good work!
Great video dude. Love to see a newer tf2 youtuber here

There's something hilarious about watching a heavy try to parkour around the map like a scout.

Laugh harder when they critically shoot themselves.

The references are on point, 10/10
A fellow sam o'nella academy believer. Respect.
Nice video and I love the other RUclipsrs's reference!
I really appreciate the Sam O'Nella reference. Thanks
Look like someone takes his notes for the future to not overestimated his 300 hp and 1v1 someone that can deal 300 damage in a matter of seconds.
Pretty good video, nothing better than funny fat scout action and some references
Man, they should really add some booties for the heavy artillery guy
That Sam O Nella reference was pretty pog.

Just today, someone in my team manage to convert entire team to be heavy.. and fat scout at that
Needless to say red team cant leave the spawn
The family business does NOT have a higher dps, its almost the same being 97,75% of the normal shotgun
While watching the end for the second time I thought it might make sense to buff the family business in a way like the Persian persuader - half the primary ammo for the heavy but buff the reload speed by 20% and base speed by 5%

"Danke for watching"
Bitte schoen!

There should be an item like the Wee Booties for heavy that buffs their ammo pools, or health or something. It'd make fat scout more viable.
Something like, the mafioso's attire, with more reload speed and something like 30 % speedboost
5:31, thank you
love the video great job! ❤️
