what TEAM FORTRESS 2 weapon would BOE TAI MARROW and "BUDD" use?
hmmm. i don't really imagine Boe with any kind of weapon beyond a Scythe, so that's a hard one to tackle, unless we're including scrapped TF2 weapons. and Budd is a hell pooch, he'd eat anything you'd put in his mouth.
now if we're talking like... Boe's playing TF2? i guess he'd like using the Loose Cannon, since i imagine he'd like to use a gun that takes some thought and timing into account, even if it's technically weaker than stock. i think he would've enjoyed the old sandman back when it use to stun players. absolutely not projecting my own preference onto him or anything. Budd would eat the mouse. and the keyboard. atleast if left unsupervised.
#ask#anon#and by the old sandman i mean the one that allowed you to move around while stunned. not the original where you'd stop in your tracks#or i mean it still did the latter if you got a moon shot but. point still stands#the whole point to the sandman was to allow the Scout to get close to an enemy without the risk of taking damage#plus it also denied snipers from using their weapons for a little bit#plus as the enemy you could dodge it to avoid being stunned#plus... by the time the Scout got close after stunning you. you'd be out of the stunned state#or atleast at the bare maximum you'd be stunned for a second by the time he reaches you#though idk. i also feel the Dead Ringer is perfect in the way it does what it does#Spies want to be on the battlefield more. so they have a chance to trick the enemy into thinking they died. allowing them to escape#im not saying it's current version is perfect but. the bare basics ARE perfect#i.e. the spy gets shot -> ''dies'' -> allows him to live longer#and im speaking from a game design and execution standpoint#you want to trick the enemy into thinking you died so you have another chance at something? thats it!!! perfectly!!!#i dont think it needed the resistances or a lot of the buffs to feigning death#if anything i feel like you'd want to make the Spy vulnerable to all damage. and i guess to make up for it. keeping the speed boost#but simply. im just some guy on tumblr.#anyway yeah i dont know what else Boe would want to use! esp since he's both me and not me at the same time#hard to truely say!#thank you for the ask :)
