” |
The Loch-n-Load (pronounced "lock" as a pun, or with Scottish accent /lɒx/) is a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a double-barreled break-action grenade launcher.
This weapon fires grenades that travel at approximately 1513 Hammer units per second (roughly 105 km/h or 65 mph) and do not tumble mid flight, meaning they travel 25% faster than stock grenades and experience less drag in flight, greatly increasing their overall range. These grenades inflict 20% more damage than the Grenade Launcher to buildings upon a direct hit. Grenades explode as normal if they strike an enemy, strike a building, or if the fuse expires; however, if they hit anything else before then, they shatter, dealing no damage or push force. Additionally, the Loch-n-Load only holds 3 grenades (instead of 4) and each grenade has a 25% reduced splash radius, making it less effective on clustered enemies.
The kill icon for the Loch-n-Load was contributed by Psyke .
