Favourite / most interesting unlocks (1 Viewer)

[EvoWarrior5]

Hello pandas,

I felt like having this discussion with you: which of the available unlocks do you think are most interesting and add to the game? With emphasis on the second part - please do not pick "troll" weapons unless you do really think that they conform to the rule of adding to the game.

​

My favourites include the Crit-a-cola and the Concheror. Also since very recently I started taking an interest in the Loose Cannon. Whereas they are not the most useful or most used - not even I use them a lot - I do think they are really interesting and allow for original plays. Others are the more obvious ones such as Boston Basher, Gunboats, Kritzkrieg, Flare Gun and all the weapons that came out at the time when valve had good ideas for unlocks (then we got stuff like Phlog and Mangler).

Actually, having brought that up - and now that we're at it anyways - let's also discuss which unlocks we do not like. Abominations that are on my list are for example the Sydney Sleeper, the Backburner and the Phlogistinator; they completely miss the point behind the classes they are for. I also thought the Vaccinator was redundant.

I may have missed a few, but these are my main opinions I think. Now let's hear yours.

Rocket Jumper + Escape Plan is best Rocket Plan (also best Taunt Kill)

I asked for not troll stuff. Do you really think Rocket Jumper adds to the game as such?

Yes, because it helps practicing Rocket Jumping and is a nice transportation device for Soldiers who want to get to places without taking damage then using their Shotgun / Meele to kills people.

Market Gardener hands down for me. Adds such a fun element, and a legitimate reason to learn chain rocket jumps and such.

Direct Hit, those airshots.
Reserve Shooter and Flare Gun, those crits.
Your Eternal Reward and the Dead Ringer are a nice alternative play style for Spy.
Axtinguisher + Degreaser because OP.

On the list of stupids:
Backburner, because noobs.
Phlog, hyperbole of Backburner, total lack of airblast.
Machina, personally because I like being a stealthy sniper.
Danger Shield, because there are far better alternatives.
Gunslinger. My most hated item.
Conniver's Kunai, just think the health reduction is insane.
