  • Just because you can go fast, doesn't mean that you should.
    The widely requested sequel to the Engineer videos is out!
    I feel like I one-up myself every time I make a new video. This was seriously a monster to make, and the script was written during some seriously stressful moments stuff that's happened to me recently. That said, one of the things that pushed me to finish it was the desire you all showed for this video. I made this video as a labor of love toward all the wonderful TF2, DRG, and OW fans who've enjoyed my videos up this point.
    This one's for you :)

      Best part of Special Powder is the fact that it's a clean OC, so there is literally no downsides to having it other than the occasional being shot into the atmosphere when trying to jump strafe away from bugs. Also, you can conserve the momentum from either a grapple launch or special powder using b-hops, making him even more mobile. Special powder go crazy.

    A good takeaway from this video is that an "scout" type of character is not a character that "gets there fast", but rather a character that "gets there first". The scout is the first one to see the enemy and as such is the one that can most evaluate the game strategy. Being able to single out the backlines, or stall the point from spawn is a plus, but a "scout" is doing best if they are using their resources to give advantage to the rest of your team through intel, disruption and exploiting opportunities.

    If I had to add something to the DRG scout, it’s that his weapons and typically the quietest in the field, compared to the constant flow of driller’s flamer and cryo cannon, the gunner’s sheer amount of DAKKA! And engine’s grenade launcher and sentries.
    With him usually being found in the quieter outer circle of a team, Scout’s weapons seem a little quieter than most. So they’re usually the one tasked with listening, listening through the music, to the low rumbles of the cave life. And reporting if you hear anything like the low rumble of a bulk, the electric charge of a warden, the chirping of stingtails and septic spreaders. You’re the team’s ears, and your flairs provide them with eyes.
    Although, I will admit it’s a little hard to listen through the killer soundtrack sometimes. It’s amazing to see DRG on lists that were so heavily dominated by TF2 and over watch having competitions against each other. Keep it up man!

    I like that DRG still has a way to make the scout seem less tanky, despite him having the same health as everyone else. He is not as well equipped for dealing with large groups of enemies. While he does have several weapons to help with that, he has a harder time, and often takes more damage to swarms than the other classes. This is a good way to make him feel more at risk than the others, while also making him no less effective against single targets.

      Blinks are much more useful in moving in and out of cover, which is more common on overwatch maps than tf2. They're also good at closing distance to longer range characters, because you don't have to worry about getting oneshot by a sniper as much if you can literally teleport every few seconds. Scout is only really better at avoiding projectiles and doing burst damage, since run speed and double jumps combo well for passive evasiveness, and the shotgun either does a lot of damage or misses compared to pulse pistols.

    A real-world scout is defined by caution. Your job is to move ahead of everyone else to see what the enemy is up to, and in practice that means you're going blindly into an area likely to be dense with enemies, with equipment and numbers that are nowhere near enough to survive a firefight if you get caught. Speed, stealth, and smarts are all you have.

    some things you missed:
    1. DRG's Scout has the only movement tool that lets you go faster unconditionally
    Driller's Drills have more optimised pathing, but don't work as well when going upwards
    Gunner's Zipline is slow by design, used as a defensive tool
    Engineer's platforms don't give any speed, just allow more speed by reducing fall damage if you land on them
    2. Scout's Boomstick overclock easily makes him the fastest of the 3, especially when you remember that he can mitigate fall damage no matter how high up you go and without any prior setup using the grapple hook

    What I feel you really missed about DRG Scout is not only that Scout enables your whole team to finish the mission faster, but is also by far the best equipped to take out high priority targets, primarily the ranged enemies. Also the DRG Scout is usually the one responsible for most of the ressurects on the team. Lastly, taking the special powder overclock into account, you can cover hundreds of meters in seconds.

    that ending speech definitely hits, i've recently started doing art since not having touched a pen since i left school, and the one piece of advice i always get told is to practice every day, do rough sketches and just not be afraid of scrapping pieces to move onto something else. and well doing that personally sucks all the fun out of it (well aside scrapping bad projects, forcing something bad to be good is misserable) cause well i used to do that with youtube, writing scripts, deciding they're not good enough, writing another, constantly testing out methods to see what sticks and when i haven't filmed in awhile cause it has to be good i have to practice acting again so i just, stopped. been a year and a half since my last release for that reason.
    but for art, i only release like one or two pieces a month and the rough below is the practice and completing is the excuse to get better at lineart. is it as good as it could be if i do a doodle page after i wake up? of course not, i'm still ameaturish, but the fun of art isn't comparing yourself to others, it's simply expressing yourself and going zen for a few hours. or 10 lol
    trying to speedrun the skill so i can monotise it for commissions just isn't enjoyable. too much of a good thing and turning hobbies into jobs and the like.
    i've definitely swang from one extreme to another but hey, while i wanna live to make myself as happy as possible, maximising happiness is the fastest way to drain it, slower experiences last longer, though to a point i'm not grinding a 50 hour rpg when i can get my gaming fix from a 2 hour game lol
