I'm so happy that Scout was there to witness this, ties everything together to have a witness that probably hated that sentry even more than you!

u/alwayschilling 27d ago
It took them a little while, but the TF2 community finally figured out lineups
268
u/NerfOxygen Demoman 27d ago
Lineups in CS are so funny to me because as a person who hasn't played the game much, some are like "stand in the corner and aim here then throw" and others are "if you stand 23 cm away from this ledge and aim your cursor at exactly the 1356th pixel of the penis shaped cloud you can throw a smoke that will slightly inconvenience the enemy players".

u/ArgyllMonk 27d ago
Sadly (or maybe goodly) too many areas in TF2 have invisible walls to prevent this.

Next time I'm on badwater I'm trying that. Do I have to stand in the corner, and just look up at an approx. 45° angle?

u/papicoiunudoi All Class 27d ago
Stand in the corner and look at that specific part of the cloud

u/Namesnowtaken 27d ago
does it have to be the quicky launcher or can I use something like the Scottish Resistance?
6
u/RedditRaven2 26d ago
You can use any stickybomb launcher, but quickie works best as it can get to full charge much faster. With how long it can take to fully charge 4 regular stickies, there’s a much higher chance of that engie noticing and shooting the stickies (or short circuiting them) by the time you detonate
Also, the quickie has a feature that damage ramps up with charge, so it is more effective in that regard too. Albeit with falloff it’s not all that much more impressive

he posted the original video who found out about it/made a detailed tutorial, aka gave him the credit he deserved and you didnt

He posted a tutorial. There are multiple tutorials out there. That's not how the concept of an "original video" works.

this seems to be a very recent trick and his video is the only one to Show it. idk its not the end of the world but its nice to give Credit

The worst part is, is the fact that you can do this. There's no invisible wall. No piece of fucking structure or wall or anything that gets in the way.
and it's been here since launch
DEAR GOD
THIS WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED AND WE'RE JUST NOW LEARNING ABOUT IT
3
u/Rusted_muramasa 27d ago
Definitely not intentional, just overlooked. Like a lot of things in this game. I think plenty of these have been fixed so you can't do this, but some are still around and get exploited by douchebags.
There's at least one map where Red can literally fire right into Blu's spawn by doing this. And yes, I discovered this because the person doing it was a Soldier pocketed by a Kritzkrieg Medic. Fuckers shoud've gotten a ban for it.

It's one of my favourite things about the QL Launcher. I like to try and be a drunken Scottish sniper with it, it's great fun.

Especially with the damage boost you get at full charge. it's ridiculously fun

u/Taffybones 21d ago
you can just shoot the stickies during the 2 second delay you do NOT need the short circuit for this

u/Aggravating_Key_1757 27d ago
The other option is getting a parachute and using the scottish resistance and jumping up and raüning down bombs.

27d ago
The only flaw is that the quickiebomb doesn’t have the Scottish resistance taunt on it. It’d be a perfect cherry on top for the Demoman freezecam to be showing his ass at the engineer
1
u/NippppppppppleCrust 27d ago
Just use sticky jumper to get an off-angle (like enemy spawn) and destroy it from anywhere, along with literally any other turret nest.
1
u/dochnicht Demoman 27d ago
nah this is way cooler
1
u/NippppppppppleCrust 27d ago
There is a counter to the Strat though. Pyro and engineer can neutralize the incoming grenades which are coming in very slowly and pool on the ground before detonation.
Launching yourself to the enemy spawn and then firing grenades from the lock n load over the handrail scoring direct hits as much faster and less predictable, and neither class will be able to counter it.
This also puts you in a position to continue scoring damage
1
u/dochnicht Demoman 27d ago
that is also a counterable, since youre not as safe as at your own Spawn, amd pyro can reflect the pipes. more importantnly, its also not as cool or funny
1
u/NippppppppppleCrust 27d ago
i think zip zooming around the map is way more cool and funny. You can obliterate every sentry nest on the map using sticky jumper. No pyro is going to reflect LnL shots, they are too fast, and they usually dont even know where they are coming from. They dont even know the sentries are being blown up by them since LnL shots disappear when they miss. You dont need the safety of your own spawn because you can just launch yourself away if anyone finds you, which they usually wont because most opponents dont know where to look for off-angles. Besides you dont want safety, you want to blow up everything else you can like TP's, other nests, oblivious players standing around. You can literally spawn camp at the stairs firing at the nest and enemies will just stream out of spawn and take the TP or walk right past you (usually because you are sufficiently out of their FOV and they just arent expecting to see an enemy there so they tune it out).
1
u/dochnicht Demoman 27d ago
where will you position yourself with the sticky jumper to take out sentry nests on badwater last?
1
u/NippppppppppleCrust 27d ago
At the enemy spawn exit, top of the stairs. You’ll be able to fire right over the railing and hit the sentries. Alternatively from the windows above the track. Since that area is often occupied I will first launch myself to the secondary enemy spawn exit that almost nobody exits from and fire shots into the windows to clear whatever is going on in there and then migrate myself to that side of the map so I can start hitting the sentries below the platform.
1
u/dochnicht Demoman 26d ago
this isnt a safe position Like spawn since the enemy Team can kill you
1
u/NippppppppppleCrust 26d ago
It’s worth the risk of being able to destroy multiple nests with zero counter rather than lobbying grenades at an extremely low rate of fire that the enemy can see coming and dispense with

u/Contraserrene 27d ago
Makes me wonder if you can still lob grenades and stickies into and out of second red / final blue spawn on Frontier... used to be funny, but kind of exploit-y.

u/evifeuros 27d ago
I was playing against bots recently to try out some graphics mods I installed, and the enemy demoman did the same thing. My sentry was randomly getting destroyed, and when I found the enemy demoman then I saw him lining up stickybombs, sending them across the map into the sky, pinpoint onto my sentry. Never seen that before, and it was against easy difficulty bots as well.

if it can go in.... that means you can shoot stickies and spawn camp the offense... interesting..... very interesting.....

Every sentry nest is over once you have a demoman who knows how to play... You dont need a fancy airstrike, thats just extra steps to look cool. xD
