The elimination of the no-crit-boost penalty has made this thing SO much more usable. Sure, it can only do mini-crits, but that's better than nothing.
Also before 2017 there was a hidden attribute that made reloading it super slow, which was removed.
@Pedro Did you try it in normal casual games?
I know it's small but I would love to see the cow manglers secondary fire cause blue/red fire for when it hits targets.
The righteous bison?
The alt fire cow mangler is practically a bfg bolt
How about the C.A.P.P.E.R
Really cool idea!
Same
love the blu boxtrot spy in 0:48
there's a spy in this video comment is true
I'm fairly certain that's part of the terrain.

@@cairofilardo8755 Behind the demo before he shot him
The _“I’m too lazy to find ammo boxes and there’s a hard-scoped enemy sniper…”_
*Edit:* I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, the fact that it functions identically to stock while having unlimited ammo is great. It’s probably my most used Soldier primary in TF2…
pretty much
This isn't necessarily a bad thing
This isn't bad weapon few times I've saved the match using it in Mann vs Machine
Holy Cow..
...Mangler.

Cow Mangler 5000 holy shit... My fav soldier primary can talk...
C🅾️W
Oh hello there
That's you!
A minor buff to the charged shot, increase the blast radius by 15% that would make it scary.
And useful for disabling sentries in tight corners
That would be a strong buff
I like this gun but that would be too powerful
I think he meant to the charged shot specifically, which would actually be nice because given how long it takes to load up and fire, it's really underwhelming.
@divide two well testing the blast radius of the charged shot it's the same except it mini crits and leaves after burn
I'm not sure why some people hate this weapon, and I mean Soldier mains. This weapon isn't that bad, it's kind of like the Soldier's version of the Pomsom 6000, with unlimited ammo. That is really helpful for a guy like me who tends to hold the fire button when there's an enemy on my screen, so I don't have to worry about ammo conservation for the most part. However, this might not be a great way to teach new Soldier mains about being efficient with your ammo, so this is kind of like the beginner's version of the stock Rocket Launcher. You don't have to worry about ammo, you have a charged shot that always minicrits and deals afterburn, which isn't that good, but I can live with it. The charged shot however is great for making up the -80% damage to Engineer buildings, because the charged shot can temporarily disable them for 3 seconds, helping your team push in tight corners. Overall, I think this weapon deserves more love, and I can see why it's my favorite primary weapon for the Soldier.
I'm pretty sure they removed the slower reload speed and I don't remember it having a slower projectile than stock
@Vincent Trinh No it's in the patch notes that they fixed the slower reload in 2017 so it matches the stock rocket launcher. Now the only downsides are the building damage and the no crits. It's a bit too good when there is no kritz on your team and no engi on the enemy team. Then it just has no downsides, which is a bit dumb if you ask me.
This weapon is OP it can make people desintegrate like
Soldier, I dont feel so good (RIP Rick May BTW)
I love this weapon as a soldier main. Cuz the charged shot is just too satisfying. And the ammo, Hell yes. It's downside of not being able to do random crits is meaningless.
Im a soldier main and i only hate the retro futuristic design of it.
But there are situations where this thing can be a direct upgrade
Isn't this basically a straight upgrade? The only main issue is the less damage on buildings, which is still saved by the fact that a fully charged shot can disable them for a moment and let your shotgun or your teammates handle it. And, imo, a Sentry is the job of a Demo or Spy in the first place, so I don't really view it as a downside that much.
Its not. Still has no random crits, soldier's job is to deal with sentrys too, and the cowmangler effect is MILES more noticeable than a normal rocket
@@lok4890 No random crits aren't a big deal on non-melee weapons anyway, and the gun fills another niche when dealing with sentries.
The charged shot will shut down the wrangler and it's 66% damage resistance.
@@VagueCastle649 you blast and entire clip so you can deactivate a sentry for 2 seconds. Its not that good, but its atleast a way around it i guess.
@@lok4890 It's 4 seconds more or less.
But hey, you allow that DH soldier or demo to shred that wrangled sentry in that time frame.
I wouldn't say it's a straight upgrade, one of soldier's main jobs is sentry busting, which the mangler sucks at, but with a more ambush soldier playstyle it's really fun
I used to think it was called Cow Mangler because the launcher was powered by milk
It’s because it’s powerful enough to mangle a cow much like how are lightning bolt Mangels a cow
Knowing the batshit insane world of TF2 lore, this is entirely possible.
@@ausername1761 I imagine that there's milk stored inside the weapon and its logistics heat it up to a plasma state that the launcher shoots out. I'm sure Mann Co. will do anything to weaponize absolutely anything
I mean, it could
Lmao
Direct upgrade to stock. Mini crits when crit boosted rearly comes into play and the damage penalty to buildings is nullified by teamwork or/and a shotgun
First off, you underestimate the power of the random crit. Second, you put too much trust on your stranger teammates in casual. And lastly, who uses a shotgun of all weapons to take out a sentry?

@@mrbabbles5989 Unless its a pub server, the "team" might as well not exist.
@@subzerotheiceninga8254 Do we play the same game?
I use it with Panic Attack, and let me tell you, it's awesome for eradicating sentries
Between this and the Bison; I've been so much more useful to the team without needing to pick up any ammo.
The ideal primary weapon for soldier
Good against engie nests with its charge shot, then have a team destroy it
Best in MvM
@@BluFactory816 the ideal MVM weapon
So
It’s a rocket launcher
That sets people on fire
coming back after having almost 2000 hours, i now realize that this is the only weapon that allows soldier to do all types of damage
Yes.
Demoman and soldier, engineers worst nightmare.
charger shot should do a little more damage for taking 4 ammo
no be cuz .. i mean u always minicrit and mostly u can 1 shot some mercs
U have infinite ammo so the charge shot free.
It’s already a bit op
just give it a 20% explosion damage resistance peircing stat and a 10% larger blast radius. i think it already does enough damage although the mercs it can oneshot either are able to dodge it with ease or have the ability to camp far outside of a reasonable range. it would be quite fair considering that something called the loose cannon exists and double donks even medium hp classes full hp. i dont see why this cant have a little bit more strength on the charged shot considering how vulnerable u are while charging and the long reload that you have to perform
I use this every time. I honestly think it's better than stock.
It's weakness comes in when you push well defended areas. Aside from that, it's basically just stock with infinite ammo anyway. The charge shot kinda blows but used properly it's ok.
very good for mvm when there is no engineer close by
Aymen Maf if your Medic is using the Kritzkrieg, then just use stock
That's because it is
If it didn't do a little damage on Sentry, it would be really better
Honestly, I think this is the best rocket launcher for MvM when paired with the buff banner and disciplinary action, you could hit large groups of robots with charged shot and upgrade the reload speed so you could spam the charged shot and fill up the rage meter, I call this strategy the ultimate team player! Also works for other game modes, but still best in MvM
Idk I think it's a pretty good strategy and maybe you should try it
Forgot the dispensary action, it's just so great to get to the front line quicker.
crit canteen still better tho
Its not even close, the beggar's bazooka is the true best launcher, all it requires is a shift in playstyle.
-it has a faster firing speed, so fast that you can ignore firing speed upgrades altogether, saving you 800 credits to spend on anything else.
-since you have to reload it before firing, you can treat the ammo reserve as your entire clip, so no technical reloading required.
-speaking of no technical reloading, the "no dispenser leeching" downside becomes an upside when you can pop your banner while gaining ammo from the dispenser, and you don't waste any precious seconds reloading during your banner duration.
because of this launcher, soldier now has insane burst damage, alongside still fantastic crowd control.
@@toastyboi8737 what about the airstrike?
@@Salomabasha pretty much second place, the beggars is still better just because it has an infinite clip.
The reload sound is very satisfying.
Also it has EMP! I would finally defeat sentry as soldier! :D
Not really, I used it, and it took a lot of shots to destroy a level 3 sentry.
Or I think there was an engineer repairing it.
@@nathanfabonan5917 I mean turn it off to pass to next room
@@nathanfabonan5917 i think he ment disabling it then killing it with a shotgun
I just notice that teflected cow mangler rocket will and always be mini crit
Noob Trollington all reflected stuff is mini crit
Finally its useful
Edit: new taunt 👍
honestly a really underatted weapon
My absolute favorite weapon for soldier
Cow Mangler 5000 + Buff Banner = Deadly combo
Especially if you're playing MVM
When me and a friend of mine got the Cow mangler, we both started maining soldier. We like to call ourselves the scidiers (scifi-soldier). we would also scream at people who didn't use the mangler (we called them medieval soldiers).
Its so good when you charge that weapon you can shutdown a sentry
I think why people don't like this weapon because it deal mini crit whenever it crits. But I mean, your charge can deal mini crit and afterburn, you have unlimited ammo and can make Engineer life hell. The less damage on building and no random crit is nothing compared to the upsides. So yeah, direct upgrade.
Edit: oh yeah, mini crit can one shot light class and I guess Vita-Saw Medic?
Can 1 shot medic from any distance on direct hit but it barely kills medic on last tick of afterburn. This gun can also 1 hit demo at close range and is 1hp away from killing soldier at 199 damage
I never played tf2, but this one of my favorite wepons, the other surely is the Sidney sleeper
I love this weapon!
Yeah, me too.
0:15 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Why people hates it, theres no need to get an ammo if your silly to get ammo.
This is easily my go to weapon for soldier in MVM because running out of ammo sucks and you’ll want to be in battle as long as possible
i don`t know if its true but i hear it from someone i know who have a thousand play on TF2, they say cowmangler have hidden stat, its reload speed its more slow than reguler rocket launcer, is that true? or its false, or its true but Valve already fix that?
I know i'm like a year late but yeah the reload speed was horrible but then they fixed it
Does anyone have just the sound effect for the disintegration? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't find it.
This weapon remind me 1989 Year Future weapon.
I love the aesthetic.
Welp, at least this weapon's ammo is infinte
I killed someone behind me with a rocket jump from this weapon.
/\ This happened to me but with stock /\
I like the reload sounds
My favourite weaphone
I want it! This is a Beam weapon!
I like the zap death animations but sometimes they just ragdoll while zapped luckily i found allthe zap animations (except spy)
Scout:fly
Soldier: H posing
Pyro: X posing
Demoman:scout
Heavy:scout
Engineer:scout but turns to the right
Medic: 😦🖐
Sniper:same as demoguy
Spy:idk
Edit: sniper maybe is an h or n
This weapon has infinite ammo (still needs to be recharged after 4 shots), and has an alt-fire that charges up a massive shot, using all remaining shots, then fires, setting anyone hit on fire, mini-crits, and disables buildings hit by it momentarily. However, it can't gain ANY crits, does almost no damage to buildings, and if it would crit, it mini-crits instead.
No shit sherlock
@@crusader1706 Fuck off.
@@ethanedwards3357 YES shit sherlock
Yes
I love this thing, its my all time favorite in TF2. Sad that the other ray guns were such a disappointment
I like using that sound like a Laser Beam
Well, it has endless ammo :)
probably my favorite thing about it is you can caboodle the crap out of people
It's an amazing launcher only problem is no crits
And only 20% o' damage to buildings.
Basically, It's the Stock Rocket Launcher, with Infinite Ammo, and has Crit Problems
My verdict: cow mangler 5000 suitable for MVM.
This is useful for a group to destroy a sentry other than soloing because I deactivate the sentry and my team follows up
It was fun spamming the full meter mangler at 2fort balcony snipers
My favorite weapon!
Warning: Doesn't actually mangle cows
A little Buff for this weapon +15% faster reload arterial a chárter shoot
That is OP plss don't remove it!

Cmon people, the only downside is that you can't do anything to buildings
I prefer the first person view. Makes the thing look much more chunky, and not just getting thinner as it goes along.

The best rocket launcher ever!
INTRODUCING THE CAMPER SET
