Happy to be the one to teach you how to use the beggars, it might not be the best rocket launcher but it's definitely the flashiest.
The beggars is to soldier primaries as the engie is to classes: not the best in alot of areas but by far the flashiest
I'd think it's... The Boomiest. I had a good game defending Upward with it, considering the narrow hallways in last.
It’s good mvm
Nah beggars best
It's the drunken fist of tf2.
A while back, I've decided to main loose cannon demo. About a year later, I don't regret it. The obvious pro of the Double Donk sound effect aside, being able to juggle your opponents is very fun. After a certain point it's no less viable than the stock. It's a good tool to get scouts out of your face too.
If you are constant with the double donks then damage whise its better than stock
I also enjoy becoming a bird with it
It's very useful against übered players as well
@marcellpintet4031 due to the fact that sentries can't take crits it's trades off building power for player destruction
@@getaround1276except it was the opposite , theatrically (not always realistically) does more damage to building
Fan of war is for hitting a strong enemy and then running so that the enemy that is demolishing your team dies much faster.
Except strong enemy not just gonna let you touch them eith melee , let along the fan of war shoot out of a scope at any range (Sydney sleeper) or a jar splash in a wide aoe ,or idk a number 8 class (maybe 9 even)
@@ammi5311 You'd be surprised at the tunnel vision they get.
@@ammi5311 did you know that one of the strengths of the Scout is his ability to flank and get behind the enemy?
@@estlin2001 you're not getting any flank when your team were destroyed
@@ammi5311 Well that's a terrible time to use the fan obviously, what is your point?
The classic lets you see more as you can charge while not being scoped. That alone makes it decent as you can whip around and shoot people and makes it harder to get snuck up on.
Or you can quick scope as gabe intended
@@ammi5311alr, *quickscopes the pyro with a vacc bullet uber* FU-
Honestly I disagreed with SeaRavioli because when I played with the classic I had the best time ever and since then my main sniper rifle has been the classic. I've even got second place on the board on upward just using the classic. Honestly the most fun weapon in the game.
Also it is very nice for new players so that they have a chance at hitting enemies
this guy has the editing skills of a 2 Million subs youtuber and the watchability of a 20 Million
That means so much, thank you

Why are there like over 10 TF2 creators with less than 10k subs who make better content than other fandoms 1 mil sub creators?
As a guy who played military simulators with realistic ballistics quite often, using fast projectile weapons like The Huntsman actually is easier for me to use than the conventional sniper rifles in TF2. I've adapted to aiming where a moving target will go rather than where they are.
Sometimes i wonder if people would complain way less about Sniper if all of the rifles were just fast projectiles
@@davisdf3064likely not, take hanzo from overwatch, more casual players complain more about him than widow
@@davisdf3064A roblox TF2 parody i play has travel-time in the sniper rifles, and It's no less infuriating
I've been playing only beggars lately and once I got used to it, It's just so amazing when I accidentally hit what I call a 'lord and saviour". Hitting 2 burst rockets in a row on a jumping enemy, then hitting them with another 20 km off the ground, and sometimes hitting them with a last one or a crater either works. The entire weapon is just the dream of jumping soldiers and Is so fun
Yeah it’s great. I’m probably gonna try to learn it “properly” over the next little while because it’s so fun to jump with
I watched a video forever ago about a Beggars main that was extremely good at rocket jumping with its unique mechanics, and that's the only reason I started maining it. Such a unique Troldier playstyle potential
Or remind of airshot becomes a no when they aren't literally in your face , hit one and know you have minus skill for hitting that one , also prop riding scouts
Also It's great since means being an trolldier no longer means being an 0 to the team anymore, so it's good if you want to go other places than hightower and harvest
One thing to consider: the fan might not always be the best in helping YOU secure a kill, but instead helps ensure that someone else dies. There is very much a difference, since you can also get out of it a postmortem trade. It's also very much a mileage may vary weapon depending on your kit and approach. Most instances, you've used it and sat right on the target, but have you considered hit and run strats? Find a target, smack him, and pepper away at him. The mark sits on the target for 15 irremovable seconds after all. That's a tremendously long time in this game. Just my thoughts on it.
Because you retain your charge while jumping with the Classic, I’ve found a really dumb but fun way to use it is in Sniper duels.
Imagine, you’re watching a sightline, and the enemy sniper waddles in, bunnyhopping. You take your shot, but because he keeps jumping you miss his head, and then he bodyshots you and you die.
You can't shoot while jumping.
Yes, you land and then shoot them. That’s why you wait for them to miss their shot first.
@@user-so3df6vw2c the enemy is jumping, not him
@@battle_cats_enjoyer5332 I mean, yeah. That is really dumb but not fun.
It's amazing how much more you can appreciate team fortress 2 when you're actively hindering yourself and not just running the meta day in and day out
The loosecannon and the beggars are actually very similar, especially the mobility in exchange for health. Didn't know you could do that with the LC.
A very informative video, and thanks for doing something other than the force-a-nature for a gimmick scout weapon.
Honestly I love the Beggar’s, I love using it to bomb into the enemy, then.. *die to fall damage..*
Edit: 8:00 *that miss hurt me*
I literally flicked to the ground for no reason, I think I was possessed or something LMAO
@@SeaRavioli-TF2 Weirdly, the same thing happened to me before.
The beggars is pretty good imo. No fire precision is definitely a liability, but the mobility options it gives are insane
Also you can go up to a demoman
Call him a spy
But right before soldier says spy you press G
I HATE how channels like yours have such little sub counts. Honestly, you should have like 300k. Your content is awesome.
Haha thank you so much, we’re getting there!
Like what lazypurple said, the loose cannon feels like sticky spamming.
Haha for sure, it's definitely an experience
Great video :D
Though I have a few things to say about the Fan-O-War :
-The best weapons to use with this are the Scattergun (obviously), and the Soda Popper sing it doesn't push enemies away and has better burst damage
-In medieval mode, it's surprisingly fun to mindlessly swing this weapon around, mark every enemy for death and get every assist under the sun
Honestly I've grown to enjoy the FAN and FON combo purely for the fact snipers facing you the split second before flying across the room is hilarious
As someone with a Hale's Own Classic, I feel I should throw in my two cents here.
It does require a more passive playstyle compared to quickscoping with a normal sniper, but you essentially become an instakill sentry at any range with much more visibility than a normal sniper. Scope in for long range shots when necessary but stay scooed out for more map awareness.
You're also even more of a menace to overconfident aggressive heavies. The ability to delete someone with a point blank 450 damage headshot is very potent, and even a 130 bodyshot will rid you of any light class that approaches you.
If you try to play it like a normal sniper, you're going to be disappointed. Pretend you're a huntsman sidegrade, if that mindset makes it easier for you.
Found your channel last night and watched all your videos, just to find a new one today. I'm excited to watch this one, keep up the awesome work
just got done with your subclass video, really enjoy this type of tf2 content. Especially highlighting less used weapons. keep it up!
As someone who's favorite weapons are every single one in this video save for the fan o war and huntsman, im so glad this video exists. I've got 2k kills and double donks on my loose cannon (rip my muscle memory for not using it in months), and I've been having a blast with the beggar's recently. I'm glad you mentioned Antoni since that's who got me into using it and I genuinely can't imagine playing soldier without the beggar's now
Great video! Please bring us more :)
I was waiting for this moment, keep the good work mate 🧡
Dude I like your editing style 🔥
Great video! As an avid Lucksman user, I'm glad you found it enjoyable! :D
I hadn't seen someone cannon jump into a double-donk before. But the first two minutes changed that. Excellent work!
holy fuck, this editing and commentary is absolutely top-tier
i really love your videos already! can't wait to stick around for more (also surprised there's *another* soldier main that runs killer exclusive AND has a double-spelled, festivized rocket launcher lmfao)
Haha thank you! And you’ve got good taste in cosmetics 😎😎
Holy shit! From your editing and video quality i thought you were a popular tf2 youtuber who i just didnt know! Your amazing man! Already a big fan from egypt and in gonna binge your vids rn!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the vids :)
No way you have only 6k subs. Earned a subscriber.
Dude your videos are so good how do you not have more subs.
man ur getting good at this
The Classic can still one shot every class compared to the Sydney Sleeper which has really no purpose.
When you say "Loose Cannon" are you speaking of "the dopamine machine?"
You know it
high quality video and only 6k subs, new subscriber right here bro
Thank you thank you
Love the video!
Hope to one day see more of tf2s whacky arsenal that we don't talk about as much on display, like the airstrike or the baby faces blaster.
You will be delighted by the next video :)
👀
it was fun playing in that pub with you :) have a good day
It’s nice watching another CZcamsr starting up who you know is gonna hit it big
The fan o war pairs really well with the soda popper or the shortstop, the force a nature is one of the worst to pair it with and it’s also a better idea to use it as a support tool rather a weapon
The loose cannon is my main weapon, it was the first alert item i received and i never figured out itd full power. I simply treated it like the stock grenade launcher. Thanks for telling me how to use it!
I thought inwad watcjing a 100k plus subbed youtube channel, man, why is this video so well made for someone with such a low sub count to back it, you need more.
The Beggar's Bazooka is also really, really great for Mann vs. Machine if you ever try it there
It feels so weird to see that you only have 4 videos right now. The quality of these vids just makes it feel like there should be so much more of a backlog
the way i see the fan o war and the classic, you should use them as support tools. If you're low on health as scout with no health packs around, maybe marking someone (or shooting in the classic's case) could be useful for clearing a chokepoint
All I can say is that I’m a day one’er! I’ve been watching your videos since the start and I’m excited to see where you go! You deserve more subs
I like the classic backpack healing melee combo as you can tap fire your enemies then crit melee them also good to jump charge before korners to insta body shot 4 out of the 9 classes and then shot again if you are far away or melee if close it has a very aggressive plaistile
Side note:love your channel hope more people subscribe
Your editing is amazing, I cannot believe you only have 6k subs! Don’t get me wrong that’s a lot but you deserve way more.
Thank you! We're on the way up 😎
ayyyy! let's go, Hive knight boss battle music for the intro!!!
Barnblitz plank jump is goated, huge if you wanna help out your explosive jumpers as medic
A very useful mechanic of the loose Cannon that most players forget is it's insane knockback, when running the stickybomb launcher as a primary dmg source the loose Cannon is god-tier at getting aggressive scouts or soldiers (any class for that matter) pushed back to mid range right where the sticky bombs can quickly detonate and demoman is at his strongest.
It’s great having the loose cannon and being able to just say no to an ubered heavy and then proceed to knock them back further that where they started the Uber
Fan o war in par well with scatter gun and pistol you can effectively duel a heavy straight on if you get the first strike
1:40 dude i thought the bomb sirens were going off for a second there
The Loose Cannon actually synergizes really well with the Quickiebomb Launcher, as the shorter charge time lets you launch bombs outside of the LC’s effective range, getting in that little bit of extra chip damage you may need to finish someone off with a Double Donk.
Hey I just played a game with you on upward a few hours ago! I was streaming to my friend on discord and we both pointed out "This soldier has a sick hat", so when I saw this video come up and recommended I recognized your pfp! (We were on the same team, I was playing spy and Beggar's soldier, which is REALLY ironic considering the video! 😂)
It's nice to see new tf2 youtubers popping up now. Subbed
Hahaha that’s awesome, I appreciate the support!
PS: my hat says thanks 😎
After seeing Antoni using the beggars I started only using that weapon for months straight and I honestly think it's the 2nd best rocket launcher now. Doing 1 overload jump and then shooting 2 rockets instantly at someone is so good at getting kills. And the movement with the weapon might be the most fun thing ever
“Dude im so bad with this thing!”
*the scout fucking teleporting*
2:20 MMMMH, Love those juicy Cannon Ball Crits
FanoWar is for the times when pocketed heavy or soldier stomp the team and no singe man is capable to take down one or another by raw damage. I love the idea that some weapons is not made for using it in every single battle and have such a niche uses
Fan O War is actually quite useful when using with the Popper. Because it fills the meter a lot quicker which makes you becomes a Bird scout more often.
I'm gonna blow your mind and say that running Demo with Pain Train, Chargin Targe, and Loose Cannon on payload offense is OP
Just stay on the cart and knock away anyone that comes at you
Jesus that editing -Chefs Kiss-
Never knew the Loose Cannon could be considered bad, it can go real crazy with the knockback and with the double donks. Also, Classic is nice against second scoping snipers. Force em to get their shot first or be gibbed when you charge around a corner.
Bro, I'm getting so much nostalgia, I forgot how fun it was trying out new weapons in TF2 lol
Haha it’s surprisingly nice to mix things up now and then
the fan o war goes kinda crazy with the shortstop, but you do have to play less like a scout and more like a pyro with the dragon's fury. It might also help to use a pistol just in case.
That medic taunt at 4:58 was absolutely ruthless.
When it comes to the beggars you either suck and sniff glue
Or sniff enough glue to become an elevated being
Currently trying to go for the most glue consumed in one sitting and so far the weapon works wonders
I used to use scatter gun, milk and fan o war as my loadout and it would work alot back when i was playing tf2 constantly
i feel that using the fan with the short stop would be a good idea
The classic for me has 2 uses.
1: Killing cheaters. Your charge it up, then when they appear, whabam. insta kill.
2: Sniper duals. You can move around at normal speed when scoped if your not charging. Mess up the other sniper.
Something important about the Huntsman headshot zones, it doesn't apply if there's a hitbox in the path of the arrow, only if it enters the collision box but just skims the actual character hitboxes.
It's a great day when searavioli uploads
🙏
Any time I get dominated by a sniper I swap to my strange killstreak Classic with 2,000+ kills, 25 kill streaks ended, 140 demomen killed, 57 revenges.
“Wait, did you just die to the Classic” is its name and the description is, “Yes, you did.”
In the first minute to the fresh content.
You love to see it
Gotta love it 😎
The fan can be really good if you know how to use it but I do admit that it can be hard to get good with
this needs a sequel please talk about the baby face, axetinghisher, scottish resi, huo long, and amputator or vita saw. if you ever do a sequel.
Fan o War with the pocket pistol is nasty
What's the music at the start of the beggars bazooka part?
I love your editing dude, what software do you use?
Thanks! I used Premiere Pro for everything in this video!
The Fan o War paired with the Force a Nature has an interesting use case: you can 1 shot Medics
How do you put that text on the right side? The which tells you when someone gets hurt, uber activated etc.
Why have I never thought about loose cannon jumping
That little jump in the classic section? There's a shitload of those. There's literally 4 on the first stage of dustbowl, one of which allows heavies to enter upper tunnel (the one with the 1-way door) on the b point.
Dude a good beggars bazooka soldier is actually the scariest thing in the game
I enjoy bagger's and loose canon, and i do believe if you somehow manage to consistently double donk you basicly got 30%damage buff and the ability to airblast ubers as demo and from far
And baggers is baggers eazy to use and super effective...till you get ambushed
before this video i didn't know you could charge the Loose Cannon
Without having played with the loose Cannon (or played TF2 for at least a few years), it strikes me as similar to the direct hit. Both of them requires a great deal of accuracy and removes or at least reduces your ability to spam a crowd for area denial. But the trade-off is significantly increased damage if you can adjust your playstyle and land your shots
2:57 here's another trick to push your huntsman gameplay to the next level: play turbine. That's where I mostly use it. The vent size combined with the huntsman hitbox means if you and an enemy are both in the vents a headshot is nearly guaranteed 😂
Don't worry about the classic beung useless. As someone who has a click and hold M1 slip (meaning the mouse register as me clicking rather than click and hold. So the classic fires without charging when my intention was to charge it first.), it pretty much stresses me out to use it.
I know about the blow on the mouse to blow the static off. But I've done that like many times and it still just register as a click rather than click and hold.
As someone who enjoys all of these in some way either mvm or normal gamemodes this list brought me joy that its not just another hate Campaign
Holy crap, thanks pyro, that is a sick jump.
"I can milk myself" SeaRavioli 2023
The Fan-O-War need to be paired with pistols and either stock or shortstop get gain it’s best effects. Marking is great if a weapon doesn’t have low ammo pool or can’t deal damage. Also good if there no sniper and you want soldier to snipe the medic.
4:29 What hat do you use. I feel Like I know it, but cant recognize it.
The classic is actually pretty fun and decently good when you don’t only no scope. For example you can charge a shot then turn the corner and have a full view of the battlefield to pick a target and to get a fully charged scoped shot immediately. It’s pretty cool.
Aka fully charged quickscopes which is nuts (even though there is some setup)
The loose cannon is so good at denying ubers and disrupting pushes, it's not so good for attack but great for defense
how did you get the hurt sounds on your screen
I love the huntsman and i will say the taunt kill has saved me from time to time
The loos canon is also a pretty good anti pyro weapon as its harder to do reflects with it
My most epic moment with the Huntsman was, in goldrush, second phaze, attacking team, were boxed in our spawn and theyre pushing in, ubered heavy coming, medic ubers me because the rest of the team is either dead or running back in spawn, me quick thinking might as well try, and I tauntkilled the ubered heavy.
