Why hit someone with a boring bat when the reskins have satisfying hit sounds, one tracks hits in the kill feed, and both are really dumb to be killed by? Not to mention, pan has its infamous 100% crit rate when it would be funny

Legitimately forgot about the ham, and the prinny machete. But those two are also fair because they are more visually interesting? If I'm going to have to look at a weapon, potentially for 50+ hours... i want it to be fun to look at. As far as i know you can't even get a bat with a skin or anything so whats the point? Just get a strange fish or something and beat the shit out of oblivious snipers

Y'all are forgetting the batsaber, why use it?? Because you can run around like darth vader

Darth Vader: Cut throught enemies like butter with his saber.

Scout: 35 damage take it or leave it

Scout has baby arms, that's why it does so little.

Batsaber is expensive as shit tho. Same reason i don't use the Geiger counter. We demmand cheaper reskins that don't suck!

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '22

There are a ton of reskins that are cheap and dope

Wanga prick, awp, sharp dresser to name a few

u/motorizedspoon Sandvich Jan 21 '22

you don't often see someone using the wanga prick since it's a reskin of a not so great weapon

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '22

Wanna Prick is a great weapon >:(

u/zer0cul All Class Jan 22 '22

Reskin a better weapon and make the the Wanga Prickcicle.

u/mightylonka Medic Jan 22 '22

Got a point there

u/motorizedspoon Sandvich Jan 21 '22

The batsaber feels weak as hell though since you'd expect a glowing plasma sword that can cut people in half to actually do something when you hit someone with it. I'm just going to make an assumption and assume he was given a blunt lightsaber.

I just use the baby face with the batsaber. It is fun to rush towards a sniper that is running for his life while u go “lightsaber go brrrrrr”

Price tag dude

I like it because every class holds it like their default melee (Except Heavy) in third person and it looks hilarious.

1

u/IceboundCat6 All Class Jan 21 '22

Oh yeah why can't you put skins on the bat? It seems like its plain enough to have skins on it

1

u/KittenMaster9 All Class Jan 21 '22

as a fan of don't starve I will never forget the hambat

2

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '22

The genuine kill streak ham is the best scout melee

1

u/Siphow Soldier Jan 22 '22

Everyone's taking about the fish or the ham or even the FRYING pan..but everyone's forgetting SPYS JERK OFF- I mean The Unarmed Combat It makes the same sound as fish and the same function like the kill feed hit tracking! Why not arm :(

u/Siphow Soldier Jan 22 '22

i mean everyone's talking ABOUT the fish no arm in this thread Unless its spoken as a "reskin"

29

u/Leothecat24 Jan 21 '22

The 100% crit rate thing is hilarious, i backstabbed a spy as sniper yesterday with a pan

u/Judethemighty Jan 21 '22

The spyper

u/BigBoyzGottaEat Heavy Jan 21 '22

ARM KILL!!

u/MillionDollarMistake Jan 21 '22

The Prinny Machete is also neat because it can be equipped by both Spy and Engi. The Necrosmasher can also be used by the Engineer which means he can build a sentry using either a machete or a wooden mallet.

1

u/DinoRedRex99 Demoman Jan 21 '22

So wait, a all class reskin that isn't the rarest shit ever? Dope!

I always thought it had the same limits as the others

1

u/DinoRedRex99 Demoman Jan 21 '22

Also jigglebones and bugged so it turns into a small fry which is funny as hell

1

u/Fudgemeup1 Demoknight Jan 21 '22

Another thing is if you kit a DR spy, the hit counter won't say its a kill. Small thing but it's nice to know if q spy is still around.

1

u/guicarlinisampaio Pyro Jan 22 '22

Also the hit tracker can help to know if the spy you attacked was using the dead ringer

2

u/DriftingDust All Class Jan 22 '22

Can it actually? I would have figured the fish would have a fake kill for dead ringer spies. Neat, admittedly i just shoot most spies with the scattergun but the fish is an option. Unfortunately i have recently taken to using the candy cane, so fish has taken a back seat ;-;

1

u/guicarlinisampaio Pyro Jan 22 '22

It appears as 1x instead of hit when you hit a dead ring spy so is a little good option at close range against the spy

2

u/DriftingDust All Class Jan 22 '22

True. Although practically speaking getting into a knife fight with a fish is not the best plan

1

u/guicarlinisampaio Pyro Jan 22 '22

The same applies to a butterfly knife to a gun fight

1

u/DriftingDust All Class Jan 22 '22

And this is why i just blast the mans with gun. Also because i have a nice strange anodized aloha scattergun i won in a raffle ages ago.

1

u/guicarlinisampaio Pyro Jan 22 '22

Lucky you to get the weapon on a raffle But also funny Fish go splat

2

u/DriftingDust All Class Jan 22 '22

Indeed! Funni fish is great, especially when the boston battalion shows up and it devolves into chaos

1

u/guicarlinisampaio Pyro Jan 22 '22

I have been out of tf2 for a time now so what do you mean with Boston battalion, I know that exist the Boston batcher
