Bu silah yaklaşık 1513 [[Hammer unit/tr|Hammer birimi]] hızla (saate 104 kilometre) giden [[Projectiles/tr|bomba]] ateş eder, uçuş esnasında daha az sürüklenir ve yuvarlanmaz bu yüzden normal Bomba Atara kıyasla %25 daha hızlıdır ve menzili çok daha fazladır. Bu bombalar binalara {{botignore|direkt vuruş}} halinde Bomba Atara kıyasla %20 daha fazla [[damage/tr|hasar]] vurur. Bombalar düşmana veya [[building/tr|Yapı]]ya isabet ederse normal şekilde patlar, ancak fünyenin süresi biterse veya düşmana vurmaz ise parçalanırlar sonucunda ise düşmana ne hasar verir ne de ittir. Ayrıca, İskoç canavarının 3 tane bombası (normalde 4) ve %25 daha az patlama alanı olduğundan dolayı bu onu grup şeklindeki düşmanlara karşı daha az efektif yapar.

The '''Loch-n-Load''' (pronounced "lock" as a pun, ''or'' with Scottish accent {{pronounce|lɒx}}) is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#demomanprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. It is a double-barreled break-action {{botignore|grenade launcher}}.
−
İskoç Canavarı'nın [[Kill icon/tr|öldürme ikonu]] {{Steamid|76561197976113694}} tarafından yapılmıştır.
+
 
 +
This weapon fires [[Projectiles|grenades]] that travel at approximately 1513 [[Hammer unit]]s 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 {{botignore|direct hit}}. Grenades explode as normal if they strike an enemy, strike a [[Buildings|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 {{Steamid|76561197976113694}}.

“
Looking for a good way to eliminate the competition? Tired of having a weapon with a measly single barrel? Want to hit your enemies where it hurts? Now you can have all of those things and more with our latest in a long line of home-baked explosive goods!
— Loch-n-Load publicity blurb
 ”

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 .
