TF2 has historically had a problem with bloat: a 'quantity over quality's approach to weapon design that's resulted in weapons with poorly thought-out concepts (such as the Razorback, Dead Ringer or the Gas Passer), weapons with barebones "+stat, -stat" blocks that still haven't really broken out of that shell (largely Uber Update weapons like the Liberty Launcher and the Tomislav), or questionable promo ions with weapon models that just don't fit in with the rest of TF2. It's resulted in the game being less accessible / more confusing, weapons standing out far less amongst each other, and the game's overall aesthetic being chipped away at.
 +
 
 +
While many of these weapons have something to latch onto for a rebalance or even an overhaul, others just don't have enough wiggle room to be reinvented; how are you supposed to rebalance all 9 different Pyro melees in a way that both works well mechanically and fits the weapon model in question when Pyro barely uses his melee to begin with?

| {{Table icon|Back Scatter}}
 +
| The Back Scatter's stats just don't work well at all in their current state, hyperfixating on a style of flanking that the stock Scattergun is already pretty good at and making everything else a Scout can do feel worse. And the model just doesn't look very good; the drums are overly bulky and poorly textured, and without those the model is just a discount Baby-Face's Blaster.
 +
 
 +
Even if the upside had some potential to it, the concept would be much better executed on a model that takes advantage of some of Scout's relationship with Spy for some "like father, like son" flavor; perhaps a lever-action shotgun with the texture of Spy's Ambassador, or a revolver shotgun akin to the Judge Shotgun of Payday 2? For now, though, I don't see a way of making the upside work.

| Secondary weapons in MvM end up suffering from their primaries just being better to use: if you run out of ammo, it's much faster to just reload and keep pumping damage than to switch to your sidearm and delay the problem, and simply adding more damage upgrades on their own won't solve this. Instead, I opted to provide an alternate playstyle/upgrade path around weaving between your Scattergun and Pistol in a way that could prove to be overall cheaper than spamming reload speed, clip size and ammo capacity upgrades.

Pyro - Afterburn & Flame Thrower Changes

Pictogram plus.png Added: Gains a level for 1 second of semi-continuous beam connection, up to 2 additional levels. Each level ramps-up the weapon's damage by 100% up to 200%, raises the minimum and maximum afterburn duration applied by 2.5 seconds up to 5 seconds, and enhances the firing visuals. Decays by 1 level (or loses the progress at base level) after 2 seconds of not hitting anything.
Pictogram plus.png Removed: Damage falloff based off of distance

Removed Weapons

Overall Explanation

TF2 has historically had a problem with bloat: a 'quantity over quality's approach to weapon design that's resulted in weapons with poorly thought-out concepts (such as the Razorback, Dead Ringer or the Gas Passer), weapons with barebones "+stat, -stat" blocks that still haven't really broken out of that shell (largely Uber Update weapons like the Liberty Launcher and the Tomislav), or questionable promo ions with weapon models that just don't fit in with the rest of TF2. It's resulted in the game being less accessible / more confusing, weapons standing out far less amongst each other, and the game's overall aesthetic being chipped away at.

While many of these weapons have something to latch onto for a rebalance or even an overhaul, others just don't have enough wiggle room to be reinvented; how are you supposed to rebalance all 9 different Pyro melees in a way that both works well mechanically and fits the weapon model in question when Pyro barely uses his melee to begin with?


Weapon Explanation
Back Scatter
Back Scatter 		The Back Scatter's stats just don't work well at all in their current state, hyperfixating on a style of flanking that the stock Scattergun is already pretty good at and making everything else a Scout can do feel worse. And the model just doesn't look very good; the drums are overly bulky and poorly textured, and without those the model is just a discount Baby-Face's Blaster.

Even if the upside had some potential to it, the concept would be much better executed on a model that takes advantage of some of Scout's relationship with Spy for some "like father, like son" flavor; perhaps a lever-action shotgun with the texture of Spy's Ambassador, or a revolver shotgun akin to the Judge Shotgun of Payday 2? For now, though, I don't see a way of making the upside work.

Multi-Class Upgrades

Multi Class - Upgrade Changes
  • Pictogram minus.png Changed: Credits can no longer be fully refunded each wave; instead, up to 400 credits can be reallocated after a successful wave, with this number going up by 200 each time a wave is failed
  • Pictogram plus.png Changed: Health Regen cost reduced from 200 credits to 125 credits
  • Pictogram comment.png Changed: Bullet and Blast Resistance resistance reduced from 30% per tick to 15% per tick, but can be upgraded up to 5 times and costs 200 credits per tick rather than 300 credits


Scout Upgrades

Scout - Upgrade Changes
  • Pictogram minus.png Removed: +25 Health on Kill for all Scatterguns (250 credits, up to 4 ticks)
Weapon Upgrade changes New upgrades Explanation
Force-A-Nature
Force-A-Nature 		Pictogram plus.png Added: Knockback Specialist (250 credits, 1 tick): Knockback is applied through Alt-Fire rather than through primary fire, with +33% more knockback force.
Pictogram plus.png Added: Crits vs Launched Targets (300 credits, 1 tick): Critically hits against any robots launched in the air by you or your teammates.
Pistol
Pistol 		Pictogram plus.png Added: +25% damage bonus (150 credits, up to 4 ticks)
Pictogram plus.png Added: Weapons Auto-Reload (150 credits, 1 tick): Your primary and secondary automatically reload even when not active
Pictogram minus.png Removed: Projectile Penetration (200 credits, 1 tick) 		Secondary weapons in MvM end up suffering from their primaries just being better to use: if you run out of ammo, it's much faster to just reload and keep pumping damage than to switch to your sidearm and delay the problem, and simply adding more damage upgrades on their own won't solve this. Instead, I opted to provide an alternate playstyle/upgrade path around weaving between your Scattergun and Pistol in a way that could prove to be overall cheaper than spamming reload speed, clip size and ammo capacity upgrades.
Bonk! Atomic Punch
Bonk! Atomic Punch 		Pictogram plus.png Changed: +15% recharge rate upgrade cost reduced from 250 credits to 150 credits
 Pictogram plus.png Added: Atomic Power (400 credits, 1 tick): Able to attack and switch weapons while effects are active (though this would still be from the thirdperson camera that Bonk! puts you into)
