It’s actually funny how little I come across the Quickie when I play Sniper, it’s an amazing tool against snipers, hopefully this gets the word out now
I really still like stock, when your not using it for sticky traps at setup and choke points I usually find myself sticky spamming with it at a range I’ve kinda developed muscle memory with but even if it has better sticky spamming capabilities it runs into the iron bomber situation where it’s stupid hard to get used to.
When he said: "or you're the bastard who sticky jumps to my spawn on bad water just to destroy my teleporter and spawn camp my team" I felt a bit targeted.
I remember playing badwater, there was this demo named zombob. He kept going to our spawn to caber my tele to death. He always died, but he NEVER stopped.
This thing is actually amazing, it has the best ranged damage that demo can possibly deal and can let you hit things that are normally unhittable. Happy to see another lover of the quickiebomb
I like it because it gives you a much more reliable out when you get rushed down by a scout. It's not guaranteed, but it can save your life on top of the sniping ability
@@gregorymirabella1423 also because if how source works that actually doesn't have increased range, it's the same range max of the regular grenade launcher. The stickies can be shot farther
There is one very specific and satisfying thing I like to do with this. When an engineer has a nest that you just can't seem to knock down, a good way to take it out is to fire a fully charged quickie, switch to loch n load, and then detonate the moment the pill hits the sentry. The single sticky is subtle and they get so little time to react that you can quickly delete even the most heavily turtled sentries. If they can't handle the single sticky in the time it takes to switch weapons, it's done. Sure, using the lnl alone is faster against an unattended nest, but this is the fastest way to launch an attack that instantly empties its health bar.
@@sampletext5959 Thats actually a stat I would remove. I would gladly change it to have the same det time as stock in exchange for a mobility buff. The short det time feels unfair to me while at the same time not actually being that important to its effectiveness.
It is kinda crazy how the charging affects even trap stickies. The stat mostly seems to offset the range damage penalty for the distances you need to charge up for. And while you mention ubering stock stickies, the implied deadliness of kritz quickies can't be understated. You can't run, you can't hide, almost literally.
This thing combined with the Loose Cannon is actually amazing. Where the Loose Cannon can't hit because of its very low range, the Quickie Bomb Launcher saves the day!
As a chad scotish resistance enjoyer i treat stickies as a secondary, so i'm glad that there's another one like that. i always thought of it as an easier way to stickyspam but you've explained that it can be so much more, great vid as always.
@@digitalscale76 but the stock sticky launcher is just so boring, imo. it's like, not that hard, it's just....too strong for not enough effort on the demos part.
With the quickie bomb launcher, there is no decreased limit to to the number of active stickies, so you can also make traps that are deadlier than stock if you charge every sticky bomb before firing it.
Now that more people will be convinced to use the Quickie, Sniper will get a technical big nerf! Rip for the Demos that don't have it and hate Snipers tho.
@@marcelosolaralister5967 I prefer not to sticky spam usually I just use the resistance, sticky jumper, and especially shields cause I love demoknight I once or twice used the boots and stock or base jumper and quickie or so
@@yelekiyelaine6748 yeah the only time i stickyspam is when seting up a trap but there are already people there (usually a heavy) and just try to get 10 stickies there for a massive f*cking explosion and then i either wait for more people to get there or kill the heavy before he kills me.
Technically it was before the original nerf of Stickybomb launcher It took more time compared with the Quickie-Bomb but damage wise, the Stickybomb was always 100% of the damage for each sticky regardless of time setting
the stickybomb launcher was always meant to be for traps, they nerfed it and added the quickie because they didn't forsee the power of sticky spamming.

I acually like the quickie bomb laucher more than stock and i use it 24/7 when i play demo cuz i like using the loch and load as a cruch cuz i cant aim so the arm time helps me just pull it out at close range and kill then when i ran out of ammo and using it with the loch and load for longer effective range as demo I also like sniping people at longe range, mostly on medics and snipers and people running away from the frontline.
Why you saying LnL was a Crutch? It only have more damage against Engineer Buildings and if wasn't know, the LnL pills is poofed outta existence when it hits nothing. Unlike the Crutch Iron bomber when having the highest hitbox and very small roller
@@NateThePlayer It's a crutch because the faster pills make directs easier and it is a strict downgrade in many scenarios that do not involve killing engie's buildings. The iron bomber's faster detonation and shorter roll distances actually make it a good sidegrade due to being better for 1v1s but worse overall for spam.
Quickiebomb Launcher and Iron Bomber are very similar to be honest: Both have four ammo in their clip They have low “arm” or “fuse” time And both can be used for “short land mine traps”
@@shiv3rcubesolver664 I did try it, I really like using to to snip people with sticky's but the lower clip really hurts my, just hope you can kill everything before they kill you fighting style; having another demoman with stock when your using this really hope cover the flaw of not being able to us traps as well and not having the spam of stock, i found it is better when you are the offensive since you will need to snip nests and snips; losing out on better traps on defense is something that's so big of a sacrifice. all and all I'd give it 6/10, not having the 4 extra sticky's is a big flaw but making a sniper demoman play style is really fun and can be quite effective. thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Beat you to this by a few years, Fish. I love how demanding the Quickie is when it comes to resource management and being a literal mortar. Great video as always!
The lower arm time is better against high skill opponents and scouts. Normal stickies can be dodged 100% of the time by a observent player. It makes demo into a solo threat, rather than a hidden aoe farm that hides behind teammates. The clip size doesnt affect your total reload time, it just means you need to be good with the grenade launcher as well. Hitting airshots with grenades on targets launched by stickies is important, so much so i actually prefer loch n load on this setup. In short, turns demo from a midrange spammer hiding behind teammates, into a solo threat that can kill scouts and snipers. One more thing, with this pretty much any enemy at any range, behind any obstacle, is a valid target. Increases your dps just by letting you shoot nonstop
Fr I played a lot of Quickiebomb Launcher Demo and never knew about the aditional bonus damage for charging the stickey bomb. I love the weapon so much. Great video man!
You know what is more annoying that a demo with the sticky jumper on badwater that jumps over to your spawn destroys your teleporter and spawn-camps your teammates? A demo with the sticky jumper on badwater that jumps over to your spwn destroys your teleporter and completely ignires your teammates so he doesn't get caught up and he can keep destroying your teleporter
2:18 Just wanna correct, not a 15% damage penalty, but a damage increase. But I'm sure you knew that and just typed it subconsciously, we all do sometimes. Great vid! I never really used the quickiebomb launcher until this video made me *understand* it.
It's been so long since I saw the Quickiebomb Launcher's stats, that I didn't realize that the "stickies fizzling out after x amount of seconds" downside was removed.
Funny thing that you mentioned how you expected this to be good for spam. That actually WAS its original purpose when they released it because stickies used to fizzle out 2 seconds after you fired them, plus it had a slower charge time and lower damage scaling on charge, but had a 6 shot clip instead of 8. I'm not great with stickies, but I LOVE this thing if I'm going to use a launcher.
Great video! Finally someone realizes how good this thing is, once a got it i never switched back to stock. The ammo clip penalty isn't that bad especcially if you don't spam with it. That SotN music is just godly too!
The quickie bomb launcher is my main launcher because of the detonation speed you can put a sticky on someone's feet, switch to your grenade launcher and kill them instantly. It also forces me to actually learn how to use the grenade launcher because its damage isnt great
hey man I love your videos, especially yours about the Scottish Resistance and, well now this, one. I've played demo for a quite a while and I just love each weapon, so you showing a bit of tender platonic love to this thing really warms my heart. I also gotta say off note your re-balance ideas and ways to play with it are also pretty entertaining (except when you just complain about one weapon it just comes off as whiney) and engaging, so thanks for making these.
Hell yes this is my favorite weapon in all of TF2. No doubt. This sticky launcher is great for the loose cannon too. The faster explosion time helps counter close range when the loose cannon can’t and same for long range.
After watching this video, I found out that you can use the quickie launcher can pretty quickly shoot a sticky from your roof to the enemy spawn on Harvest. It's.... kinda broken. Love it!
smaller creators like fish have such GREAT content, when youtubers become big a lot of them loses their great content like this one thanks for making those videos man
Ye but my 15 yo 2gb GeForce can't handle the game anymore. I could Install all those Low Graphik Max FPS Mods, but I'm to lazy to study all that stuff x)
@@quietus5769 there's nothing to study, it's so easy. Also I'm playing on a 3060 with a Ryzen 5 with the lowest possible graphic configs and getting 90 fps.
The quickie and resistance are great. They’re the one example of actual side grades for a purpose I can think of. Stock is versatile and can do aggressive pushing and defending well, but the resistance has a much better an economic way of trapping and holding areas, and the quickie is faster at sticky spamming and launching far ranged attacks and just all around aggressiveness.
my fetish is standing behind a wall, far-launching a quicky over it, and have it land in a sniper nest because of it's projectile arc there's literally *nothing* sniper can do against that
I love this thing. The Scottish resistance excels at defense, the stock is good for raw damage along with decent general use and destruction of buildings, and the quickie excels at long range combat as well as combat against scouts and snipers especially, which are 2 of demoman's biggest annoyances
I never really played with the Scottish resistance or quikie bomb, or even demo for that matter, butt thanks to you I had a whole hell of a lot of fun. thanks fish :)
I love pairing this thing with the Loch-n-Load on offense. Destroying sticky traps, picking iff snipers and 2-shot-destroying sentries at longer range makes this THE loadout for plowing through defenses.
"Wow, this was a great video, I hope no one else ever covers this topic ever again!" - A sentence that no one has ever unironically spoken in the history of forever
The thing I like the most about the QBL is how much extra range it gives Demo. My own dopamine fix is seeing a bomb fly _way_ far into an enemy position, and the stock launcher's charge time is disappointingly long for that.
This also makes scouts a lot easier to deal with. (Another similarity to the Direct Hit strangely.) When they rush you as demo, just putting a quickie stickie at your feet or theirs twice is so effective.
I'm so happy that someone else finally said it. Yeah 2 primaries is nice, but then your two weapons are always trying to compete for priority, but the quickie fulfills the secondary roll REALLY well.
I love this launcher purely because you can pester the snipers on the 2fort battlements from the safety of that makeshift wall on the left side of your team's battlements. Which I guess you could use that to deal with bot snipers possibly if you have a crits medic with you.
I don't play the game much, so I'm still in the 'trying stuff out' phase of this game. I've mostly liked playing medic, demoman, and pyro, and I'm still trying to get used to all of their weapons. Your videos have shown me ways to play with these weapons that I otherwise haven't thought about before, and have even got me to play more than I used to! So, in short, thanks!
The Loose Cannon + Quickiebomb Launcher Duo is like the reverse of the Stock Duo. The Cannon does the crowd control stuff akin to the Stock SBL, while the Quickie does the single target stuff like the GL.
i've been playing the quickie for a while when I was still newish because of the faster det time. i have a strange with 2k kills on it, and at that point, I just decides to use stock one day and it stayed. It made me see that both are strong in their own rights and it made me love the Quickiebomb even more. Also, sticky tank with the Quickie is fun as hell. To the point I always want to change the name of it to "Demonaut" (cuz, you know... Juggernaut + Demo? and it sounds like DemoNot which is perfect because you're not a knight.)
The thing about the sticky launchers is that, there is the sticky launcher, and it feels like with the scottish resistance and the quickie bomb launcher, they split the stock launcher into defensive and offensive launchers.
I like how Demo's obtainable secondaries emphasise specific playstyles. Like, if you want to be the ultimate defense Demoman, you can use the Scottish Resistance to guard one choke point with loads of traps. If you want to be a sticky spamming murderer, use the Quickie and become an artillery cannon. And if you're only using your stickies for mobility, you have the Sticky Jumper to zoom from one end to another. All of these playstyles are completely viable with stock, with each of these weapons focusing mainly on one style and enhancing said style.
Just started using the Quickiebomb launcher, and you make a video, same thing happened with the Scottish Resistance. Guess I'm picking the right options

2:18 Just wanna correct, not a 15% damage penalty, but a damage increase. But I'm sure you knew that and just typed it subconsciously, we all do sometimes. Great vid! I never really used the quickiebomb launcher until this video made me *understand* it.
The stickies by default, with no charge, have a base damage penalty. Only once you charge it do you get an increase in damage.
You started with Castlevania Symphony of the Night's Dracula's Castle! And continued Symphony of Night music? BEST. VIDEO. EVER.
It's basically soldier with arcing projectiles :)
It's been so long since I saw the Quickiebomb Launcher's stats, that I didn't realize that the "stickies fizzling out after x amount of seconds" downside was removed.
Funny thing that you mentioned how you expected this to be good for spam. That actually WAS its original purpose when they released it because stickies used to fizzle out 2 seconds after you fired them, plus it had a slower charge time and lower damage scaling on charge, but had a 6 shot clip instead of 8. I'm not great with stickies, but I LOVE this thing if I'm going to use a launcher.
I think you should name your quickiebomb launcher "Honorbound"
Great video! Finally someone realizes how good this thing is, once a got it i never switched back to stock. The ammo clip penalty isn't that bad especcially if you don't spam with it. That SotN music is just godly too!
Stock is superior anyway

_“While still having its own well balanced drawbacks”_
(Said while getting a double domination)
The quickie bomb launcher is my main launcher because of the detonation speed you can put a sticky on someone's feet, switch to your grenade launcher and kill them instantly.
It also forces me to actually learn how to use the grenade launcher because its damage isnt great
It is great if you hit pipes. Play mge.
0:52 thats why i laugh when someone says quickiebomb is bad
1:32 why i love it
you absolutely pogged yourself in that opening clip
hey man I love your videos, especially yours about the Scottish Resistance and, well now this, one. I've played demo for a quite a while and I just love each weapon, so you showing a bit of tender platonic love to this thing really warms my heart. I also gotta say off note your re-balance ideas and ways to play with it are also pretty entertaining (except when you just complain about one weapon it just comes off as whiney) and engaging, so thanks for making these.
Hell yes this is my favorite weapon in all of TF2. No doubt. This sticky launcher is great for the loose cannon too. The faster explosion time helps counter close range when the loose cannon can’t and same for long range.
After watching this video, I found out that you can use the quickie launcher can pretty quickly shoot a sticky from your roof to the enemy spawn on Harvest. It's.... kinda broken. Love it!
Wow, it’s nice to see that Demo has 2 primaries.
smaller creators like fish have such GREAT content, when youtubers become big a lot of them loses their great content like this one
thanks for making those videos man
Demoman has no bad sticky bomb launcher. Well there is the sticky jumper...
Discussion of demo weapons: *exists*
The Kritzkrieg: It's showtime.
"The scout cannot outrun death, at least not if the Quickiebomb launcher has anything to say about it."
Really enjoyed that video even though I'm not playing TF2 anymore☺️ I feel Like i have to come back once i got a better graphics card.
(Don't forget that TF2 relies more on CPUs.) I'm glad the TF2 community is slowly bringing people together :)
Tf2 uses more cpu than gpu
Ye but my 15 yo 2gb GeForce can't handle the game anymore. I could Install all those Low Graphik Max FPS Mods, but I'm to lazy to study all that stuff x)
@@quietus5769 there's nothing to study, it's so easy. Also I'm playing on a 3060 with a Ryzen 5 with the lowest possible graphic configs and getting 90 fps.
The quickie and resistance are great. They’re the one example of actual side grades for a purpose I can think of. Stock is versatile and can do aggressive pushing and defending well, but the resistance has a much better an economic way of trapping and holding areas, and the quickie is faster at sticky spamming and launching far ranged attacks and just all around aggressiveness.
my fetish is standing behind a wall, far-launching a quicky over it, and have it land in a sniper nest because of it's projectile arc
there's literally *nothing* sniper can do against that
2:36 it's so satisfying watching this clip knowing that i gave him that killstreak kit.
The huntsman and the detonator shared a night of passion over a bottle of wine, and boom, quickiebomb launcher
All sticky bombs are all good in their own way. You did a good job for not putting them are in bad weapon academy
Stock the best, then quick then Scottish
I love this thing. The Scottish resistance excels at defense, the stock is good for raw damage along with decent general use and destruction of buildings, and the quickie excels at long range combat as well as combat against scouts and snipers especially, which are 2 of demoman's biggest annoyances
I never really played with the Scottish resistance or quikie bomb, or even demo for that matter, butt thanks to you I had a whole hell of a lot of fun. thanks fish :)
"Special Thanks To These Generous Donators"
*shows a guy send him 2 weapons*
well it's still a donation
1 scrap
2 Scorch shots to be exact
I love pairing this thing with the Loch-n-Load on offense. Destroying sticky traps, picking iff snipers and 2-shot-destroying sentries at longer range makes this THE loadout for plowing through defenses.
"Wow, this was a great video, I hope no one else ever covers this topic ever again!" - A sentence that no one has ever unironically spoken in the history of forever
2:43
something in common, like, destroying enemies stickbombs?
You got my attention at the "countering Snipers".
Congrats, you shall be rewatched as background noise while I grind a spike suit so I don't go insane.
dont even give ya enemies a chance to see the bloody bombs!
The thing I like the most about the QBL is how much extra range it gives Demo. My own dopamine fix is seeing a bomb fly _way_ far into an enemy position, and the stock launcher's charge time is disappointingly long for that.
This also makes scouts a lot easier to deal with. (Another similarity to the Direct Hit strangely.) When they rush you as demo, just putting a quickie stickie at your feet or theirs twice is so effective.
Yeah pub scouts
4:01
And then he made a video of it anyway lmao
I'm so happy that someone else finally said it. Yeah 2 primaries is nice, but then your two weapons are always trying to compete for priority, but the quickie fulfills the secondary roll REALLY well.
Finally someone talking about this weapon
I find quickies very underrated
getting ranged doublekills with the quickie gives me more dopamine than hitting doubledonks
extra points if it is a double dom or a crit
I fell bad for rolling crits - Especially with stickies considering how broken those are under those effects
So imma disagree with that one, chief
@@metalslug55516 fair enough
Now you have artificially inflated the prices of strange and Killstreak quicky bomb launchers!
Hint for all of those who complain about it only being made for spamming…
…just use it like a stock sticky launcher. These things stick for a reason.
I love this launcher purely because you can pester the snipers on the 2fort battlements from the safety of that makeshift wall on the left side of your team's battlements. Which I guess you could use that to deal with bot snipers possibly if you have a crits medic with you.
I don't play the game much, so I'm still in the 'trying stuff out' phase of this game. I've mostly liked playing medic, demoman, and pyro, and I'm still trying to get used to all of their weapons. Your videos have shown me ways to play with these weapons that I otherwise haven't thought about before, and have even got me to play more than I used to! So, in short, thanks!
The Loose Cannon + Quickiebomb Launcher Duo is like the reverse of the Stock Duo. The Cannon does the crowd control stuff akin to the Stock SBL, while the Quickie does the single target stuff like the GL.
congrats and welcome to the "Not just stock" camp my dude :)
i've been playing the quickie for a while when I was still newish because of the faster det time. i have a strange with 2k kills on it, and at that point, I just decides to use stock one day and it stayed. It made me see that both are strong in their own rights and it made me love the Quickiebomb even more.
Also, sticky tank with the Quickie is fun as hell. To the point I always want to change the name of it to "Demonaut" (cuz, you know... Juggernaut + Demo? and it sounds like DemoNot which is perfect because you're not a knight.)
it's so rare for me to get this weapon in a random drop and even rarer I see somebody actually using it.
The thing about the sticky launchers is that, there is the sticky launcher, and it feels like with the scottish resistance and the quickie bomb launcher, they split the stock launcher into defensive and offensive launchers.
the boots sticky combo is called a stickytank and it is my entire religion in tf2
I have smoked an entire lobby with this abomination of a subclass
"I adore the quickiebomb launcher"?
I think you mean "We adore the quickiebomb launcher"
5:06 ngl, that was pretty sweet
Loved the video and also loved the music haha. SOTN easily my favorite Castlevania game.
I like how Demo's obtainable secondaries emphasise specific playstyles.
Like, if you want to be the ultimate defense Demoman, you can use the Scottish Resistance to guard one choke point with loads of traps. If you want to be a sticky spamming murderer, use the Quickie and become an artillery cannon. And if you're only using your stickies for mobility, you have the Sticky Jumper to zoom from one end to another. All of these playstyles are completely viable with stock, with each of these weapons focusing mainly on one style and enhancing said style.
The symphony of the night music in the background is goated
Just started using the Quickiebomb launcher, and you make a video, same thing happened with the Scottish Resistance.
Guess I'm picking the right options
Watching you play, it looks like the quickiebomb launcher is good for learning awareness during fights and keeping an eye out for vulnerable enemies
I'm happy you finally hear someone talk about the quickie bome launcher And how good it actually is
Been exited for this video since the announcement it was coming. I absolutely love the quickiebomb launcher.
So is this Good Weapon Academy?
