    The gunboats are widely used "just because", while on certain maps they're rather useless. The shotgun is amazing cause it's simply reliable. Sometimes though the shotgun isn't the best idea, for instance, a roamer or anyone using the beggar's bazooka it'll just be suicide. Adaptibility is key. Great video btw! very underrated.

    Also, shotgun gives you some valuable breakpoints, particularly with Engineer's buildings. I'll combo Engi buildings all the time, waiting for my rocket to land on it before blasting it with my 12-gauge. Very effective against mini sentries or buildings getting tanked.

    That intro clip with the kritzkrieg, that's the reason I went back to the shotgun from using banners. Swapping from conchBox to a basically stock loadout allowed me and my brother to carry a whole attack/defend match. From there I started mixing it up a little with different primaries when playing solo; the Black Box returned to prominence as my go-to but I've also rekindled my love for the Cow Mangler.

    Personally im reserve shooter gang. It's almost like a minigame or quicktime event where i gotta shoot my rocket to bounce them up and instead of the obvious shoot another rocket i get the shotgun airshot, so its a double QTE. I love the higher potential damage output, plus it shows me how much more i really need to improve. also reserve shooter ends up being even more unexpected than stock. also also the quicker swap speed makes dealing with pyros that look like they really want to airblast that much more easier to deal with. they get so caught up in weapon switching to counter my weapons that i can get 2 good rockets in and kill them

    • @BigManStrange

  • @dennisv1882
    @dennisv1882 2 місяці тому

    The shotgun on soldier is really good, mainly if you want to play more independently, it allows you to have better uptime in fights which 4 rockets might not be enough.
    Although for frontlining the banners are so much better, since sometimes you gotta be the anchor for your team to be able to make a play. If your team is very self suficient then the shotgun is just an upgrade to you, if they aren't it starts feeling a bit useless.
    Personally, I run a Liberty Launcher + Panick attack combo, which can deal with most classes in a decent way, it's nowhere close to be meta but it's fun, and it shows how strong the shotgun is when it covers the weaknesses of the Liberty Launcher really well and whenever that feels like it's not working I just switch to stock with one of the banners, the gunboats always seemed really overrated to me when there is teleporters or medics in your team, only exceptions are if you are playing with the Beggar's Bazooka or there's no support classes in your team

  • @realIkeaMan

    as someone who heartily believes that there is no general purpose secondary even close to the gunboats (not even bats, fight me) i can definitely sympathise with your point of view here, especially what you said about the shotgun being situationally better on certain maps. i like to call these maps “waddle maps” because there’s no real reason to rocket jump most of the time. think steel, dustbowl. in these maps i see no reason to use the gunboats, and because teamwork is a lie i think the shotguns carve a very strong niche there

    I play a lot of heavy I don't mind playing a tankier and sluggier version of soldier since I use banners a lot and do try to manage more my rocket jumps, I know there is the shotgun but I like the more suportive aspects to characters so banners it is! But I can understand why people would trade more gun for more mobility. I mean there's a reason why people avoid playing heavy and medic, they don't have cool movesets. They actually have to think where to move to and from without dying.
    That being said it has to be soldiers AND pyros who use the shotgun most, while pyros use it like half of the time you ever see one since they're already a short ranged class. But I've fought a suficient ammount of soldiers who will punish you for being to aggresive or for not paying atention and will pull a shotgun on you, they're no joke, respecc the soldiers with shotguns... who do kill you :D cuz most ain't used having to aim LMAO.
    Also I love how heavies strike fear into this soldier main, they're not to be joked around, but don't be too afraid, most heavies have like, the worst tunnel vision in the world, just rocket jump behind them and they'll never notice you, free easy kill since they'll take a while to turn back... even decent players just suck at turning back with heavy ._. it's a tip I give you because they might have hours on the game, and not on the big guy and just play him HORRIBLY and try to frontline all the time, it's like the most basic concepts of playing not feeling good and dissapearing of their brains....

      The battalions is really good. I recommend it for when either team composition is not the best. If thats not the case and your team can do fine on their own, you can use the shotgun.

    I feel like the reserve shooter is slightly better at most situation you mentioned.
    And it is great at thoose overconfident soldiers that always jump at your face

    very nice video. I like using the shotgun as a way to finish off any wounded enemies while having no rockets in the clip left to fire
    one criticism I do have about the video though is some of the colored backgrounds are REALLY saturated and aren't that comfortable to look at

    If my current like... 100 hourse or more in Pyro, i see the intro a little bit unrealistic, the Pyro would probably fail the timing of the airblast
    The rest is spot on i guess

    WRONG!!!
    we all know that the best secondary weapon for soldier is the righteous bison, is that so that valve had to nerf it.
    now seriosly speaking the shotgun offers to soldier a lot of versatility, not in movement but in combat.
    like for example, one of the most common weaknesses of soldier, is when someone takes the highground even a slight highground, characters like scout likes to do that, and it takes away the efectiveness of the rocket laucher when there's not ground or flat surfaces to shot at. so that's when the shotgun comes in handly.
    of course this can be covered if someone is really good at predicting with the rocket laucher what the enemy's movement will be... but it's really hard to do for newcomers. it's like trying to get an airshot.

    I also like the shogun on pyro rather than some flare gun. If you are 1v1'ing another pyro you can just win the fight by grabbing the shotgun and playing it smart.

    Sleeping on the shotgun vs good scout matchup, if they have good enough movement to dodge all of your rockets you better pull out the shotty. Do it right after your first rocket and you’ll catch them off guard

    3:24 i wouldn't consider the shotgun to be the best go-to stock, i mean every heavy uses the sandvich or banana the engineers got great side grades like the widowmaker, rescue ranger or frontier justice and the pyro has flare gun, scorch shot and i guess the detonator?

    I actually find myself using the shotgun because how often i rocket jump. Basically I enter fights with half my clip.
