This is a really good idea for a series. You always come up with the most creative videos, I'm impressed how you always maintain quality in your uploads! Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me
So i took a large number of weapon reskins currently available in the game and gave them their own set of stats, ranging from slightly modified side grade of the original, to completely new weapon idea that's not balance at all but a ton of fun.
Nessie's 9iron getting a sandman function is so cool, and a melee scout with the 3rune blade with his naturally faster swing speed would be terrifying. Some actually amazing ideas here.
YES! Finally somebody talked about Scout Knight. It’s personally my favorite sub-class in Tf2. Shame that it only takes one Pyro to immediately stop you from playing the game
Man, playing this video and the original Great Blue video side by side in sync is hilarious. It also makes you appreciate how much effort Elmaxo went into it by even playing in the same area of the same maps for each clip. Mad lad.
Dude I thought that it was the same footage just dubbed over but it’s completely different. The effort in this video is way too high for an April Fool’s joke
I normally listen here for background noise, so you can imagine my surprise when I'm a few minutes in and go like "Wait, isnt this about subclasses? Why is he talking about reskins???"
I like how he actually did his editing style instead of just copying great blue one to one, just shows how much effort he puts into even a joke like this Weapon reskins in tf2 have always seemed like a strange case to me

i’m SO happy that someone is FINALLY bringing dentist soldier into the limelight. i’ve loved playing it for months , and i never see anybody talking about it.
Thank you so so much for talking about the sounding boston basher scout, its such a underrated subclass and truly dezerves more time in the spotlight then what it gets.
At this point I've seen so many TF2 videos that feature great blue's voice that I just have a reaction that sinks deep into my psyche every time I hear "Weapon reskins in TF2"
Idea for The Sharp Dresser: When fully charged, your first stab does not un-disguise you, and causes your target to continue moving in the direction they were moving for 2-3 seconds before "dying" (the player presumably dies immediately but the player model for outside spectators does not). This stab depletes the charge meter and while additional stabs are possible immediately after (chain stabs still possible) these will function identically to the standard knife. Charge takes 15-20 seconds to build back up after a "super-stab". As a drawback, 25% health reduction or perhaps a movement speed penalty after missed stabs? Plays with the original idea of being a weapon that can be used without anyone noticing, a variation on The Eternal Reward, perhaps.
3:37 What if instead of just detonator jumping, the whole market gardener effect also activated when You are in the air from any kind of explosion? This would work very well with deflected rocket jumps
6:15 better idea: hear me out, when killing/decapitating with the nessis 9 iron use the enemys head as a projectile basically it launches the Head opposed to the demomans position away if it hits and enemy it does like 50 dmg maybe?
I think something very important that needs to be added to the Quäckenbirdt aswell, is that it should have a random chance to spawn a rubber duck prop on Cloak. We already have a duck model due to Bonus ducks anyway.
4:53 wouldnt It make more sense if the bootlegger was the demoknight boot and the wee booties the gunboats? Demoknight has a ship thing as a shield and the wee boota thing already look like the gunboats
What if Nessie’s Nine Iron also had the ability to reflect projectiles like missiles if swung at the right time? I think that would be so fun, and give the Demoknight a bit more survivability against solders.
The fortified compound draw speed reduction would hurt it's viability in close range combat (where the huntsman shines best), but the travel speed would make it more viable at long ranges. I think that rework is a pretty good idea.
don't forget the kneecap killer, a scout that uses sandman that only hits kneecapas, and the worst subclass in the game, the rain sniper, that uses huntsman and shoots up.
I am personally appalled that 2 of my favorite scout subclasses never made it into these videos, first the piranha scout (piranha scout is much like pyro shark but being called piranha scout is for a reason to use this subclass you have to equip the atomizer and it has a special feature which when you are in the air you will get gurranted hits but being in the water is supposedly “in the air” so you will always get your critical hits but they won’t do much damage but this is why no one uses it solo because unlike pyro he doesn’t have airblast but he does have the force of nature but since scout is so squishy he will most likely be killed by the time he is in the water so when people try this method they get a group of people and because scout is the fastest class in the game he is able to overwhelm classes and this gets even stronger to overwhelm classes when in groups) and another one of my scout subclasses is penis scout (The Penis Scout (also known as the "Quick Dick") is a Subclass in TF2 that is known for having a sleeper style due to its common appearance, and also known to be devastating if used properly. Variations of this include substitutes of using the Baby-Faces Blaster for speed, which will be elaborated on further. The Penis Scout, in action, follows a simple routine: use your Mad Milk to douse the enemies, (taken from the translation of "Blow a Load," a precursor exclaimed prior to the initation of this process) then take either the approach of the Boston Basher or the Back-Scatter. Both resemble phallic objects for extra humiliation for the opponent, and even believed to have garnered this subclass' title. But, if the Penis Scout can execute the maneuver of using both weapons in tandem (Starting with the Boston Basher, preferably,) and eliminate the opponent, this succession is commonly referred to as "fucking over," and shows a capable Penis Scout from a flaccid one. One thing that aligns Penis Scout's alike regardless of skill however is the insistence to "Hit it from the back" and avoid "pulling out" until the opponent is subdued in close-quarters. The Baby Face's Blaster can be from behind" and more colloquially garnered the alternate "Quick Dick" as a result. Additonally, this playstyle falls under the sleeper catagorey: meant to view skill or prestige under lesser standards. Wearing low-grade clothing commonly impresses the idea of a new player, and is hypothesized give the Penis Scout an advantage) so please give these classes a review, and thank you :)
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the day trader spy loadout; it’s super fun to buy and sell stocks in Red, Blu, Mann Co, Grey Gravel, etc; and the fact that you can make enemy players to go bankrupt and be unable to afford respawns is insanely fun; just don’t get caught insider trading lol
Really cool video, thanks for talking about all of the Subclasses you missed! I prayed since the birth of Jesus that you finally cover Penis Scout, and the day has finally come!
Two things. It's unironically amazing how you even switch into Great Blue's weird drawl/enunciation at times. Also when is Da Burd gonna upload his April 1st Video where it's just The Direct Hit Dilemma?
I like your idea of balancing. When most people rebalance, they give and take stats away trying to fine-tune the mechanics. But you ADD mechanics to make the weapon unique. Mechanics that aren't in the game or aren't used very much. Thats something a lot of people dont realize tf2 desperately needs. Thats awesome.
Really cool video with a lot of unique ideas and things I haven’t thought about, but my favorite part was at 0:23. I know it’s the first one, but it genuinely made me want to try it out! Thanks for the great video elmaxo!

Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me
No way its great blue heroin

Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me.
On one hand, if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks, it's nice to be able to have another weapon to choose from.
But on the other hand, reskins usually look like they would function differently then their counterpart.
I’ve always thought it would be neat if cool-looking weapons like the Maul had more of an identity than “it’s the homewrecker but for rich people”
So i took a large number of weapon reskins currently available in the game and gave them their own set of stats, ranging from slightly modified side grade of the original, to completely new weapon idea that's not balance at all but a ton of fun.
For this video atleast, i'm going to be modifying weapons that are relatively cheap and easily obtainable so we can keep the P2W to a minimum.
I'm gonna be honest, weapon reskins in TF2 have never seemed like strange case to me.
Contrarian
How dare you
How dare you say such a thing

He admits at the end that he stole this script from Great Blue.
What a *Great* video about weapon concepts.

easily the best elmaxo video. this is the content i subbed to the patreon for! bravo max!
Hey you should watch great blue no reason
7:24 you knew what you were doing, right?
wow youve improved! much better than the usual garbage you used to post! keep it up!
Maybe it's not about the subclasses, but about the strange case of reskins we made along the way.
unarmed combat + shortstop + force a nature = my new subclass, the SHOVE SCOUT
What if Nessie’s Nine Iron also had the ability to reflect projectiles like missiles if swung at the right time? I think that would be so fun, and give the Demoknight a bit more survivability against solders.
what a original video, *great* work as always elmaxo, seriously *blue* my mind with the insane editing
Video reskins on UA-cam have always been a strange case to me.
On one hand, if you like the content of a video, but not the style of it,
1:53 "I'm suprised there isn't a second melee subclass already" *boxing heavy has entered the chat*
The og video has that
I got recommended this video today (april second) and genuinely thought there was a part 3 and got april fooled. elmaxo, you glorious beast.
He finally talked about Slighty-Above-Average Scout! It’s my personal favorite to use and glad to see it get some recognition!
i prefer the slightly-below-average scout but whatever you're entitled to your opinion ig
The fortified compound draw speed reduction would hurt it's viability in close range combat (where the huntsman shines best), but the travel speed would make it more viable at long ranges. I think that rework is a pretty good idea.
9:28 I actually like the idea of a knife that gives better fall height AND jump distance.
