The '''Scottish Resistance''' ('''SR''') is an unlockable secondary weapon for the [[Demoman]]. Replacing the traditional [[Stickybomb Launcher]], the SR can lay down six extra stickies in exchange for a longer priming rate and a direction-dependent detonator. SR stickies are also unique in that they can also destroy stickybombs laid by enemy Demomen. The Scottish Resistance also uses a different model of stickybomb; a heavier-looking variety, with larger, blunted spikes.
+

−
Unlike the normal Stickybomb Launcher, the Scottish Resistance allows for selective detonation of laid bombs by only detonating ones within a certain angle of your crosshair when the detonation button is pressed. Bombs that are in this radius will glow your team color when looked at, allowing to to determine which bombs will detonate when you do. If you require a group of bombs larger than you can select at once to detonate, you can either move further away to encompass more bombs in your crosshair or hold down the detonate button whilst moving your crosshair past all the bombs you wish to detonate. Take note of the added time it takes to turn and face your bombs to detonate them as this can make watching several different bomb traps very difficult.

The '''Scottish Resistance''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#demomansecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Demoman]]. Similar in appearance to the [[Stickybomb Launcher]], it features warning colors on the magazine and a sensor camera wired to a portable battery taped onto the barrel. The Mann Co. logo is present on the sensor, albeit partially covered in duct tape. Additionally, the stickybombs fired are of a heavier-looking variety with larger, blunted spikes.

==Damage==
+
Unlike the default Stickybomb Launcher, the Scottish Resistance allows for selective detonation of laid bombs. Only those within a certain angle of the player's crosshair explode when alt-fire {{DK|MOUSE2}} is pressed. Players can therefore detonate traps in set areas and from behind walls and solid objects. Bombs that can be detonated are discernible by their team color outline, or white outline as seen through walls. The number of explodable bombs within sight can be expanded if the player moves backwards, effectively encompassing the Stickybombs in the crosshair radius. This unique function allows several sticky traps to be laid in various locations, but requires the Demoman to keep watch of these areas to know when to spring the trap.

−
* Base: 120
 
−
* Max Ramp Up: 115% (138 damage)
 
−
* Max Fall Off: 50% (60 damage)
 
−
* Mini-Crit: 162

* 6&nbsp;ft from explosion: 47-90
 
−
** [[Critical hit]]: 180
 
  
−
* 3&nbsp;ft from explosion: 60-124
+
The weapon also allows detonation of bombs laid under the player's feet, allowing the user to [[Jumping#Basic sticky jump|sticky jump]] without having to look at the bombs directly.
−
** [[Critical hit]]: 261
 
  
−
* Directly Underneath: 103-171 
+
Additionally, the Scottish Resistance is able to fire bombs at a faster rate, and can deploy six additional bombs for a total of 14 out at any time. The bombs, however, take longer to prime at approximately 1.5 seconds after being deployed, preventing players from firing and detonating stickies in the air at enemies effectively. The stickies also have the ability to destroy bombs laid by enemy Demomen, similar to the [[Quickiebomb Launcher]]. The speed, damage, and blast radius are identical to that of the Stickybomb Launcher's stickies.
−
** [[Critical hit]]: 353
 
  
−
* Self damage: 45-114 (depending on how far you are from the explosion)
+
The Scottish Resistance is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 [[Demoman achievements]].
−
** [[Critical hit]]: Deals same amount of self damage as a regular sticky (45-114)
 
−
''Note:'' Explosive damage varies depending on how it hits a player, the larger the classes hit box and the closer you are to the explosion the more damage you will take, the further away from the explosion the less damage you can take. Explosions do the most damage when they happen at the mid point of a player model, the explosion will cover more of the hit box and thus do the most damage. Base damage is the damage done at 512 units before damage variance or bullet spread. Ramp up maxes out at 0 units. Fall off maxes out at 1024 units. Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
 
  
−
''Another Note'': Sticky bombs suffer from damage falloff like that of most weapons for the first five seconds of its life. Similarly to the [[Rocket Launcher]], the multiplier at point blank is reduced from 150% to 115%.  After those 5 seconds, the sticky bomb's distance multiplier becomes 1.0

''Note'': Sticky bombs that are close to your feet can be detonated before their initialization period. Because of this, it's possible to detonate a sticky as soon as it leaves your weapon, damaging yourself.

* There is an unused particle effect that was most likely a laser for the Scottish Resistance.
 
−
* When you taunt with the Scottish Resistance, the crosshair will remain where it was when you taunted, so you can detonate stickies you could detonate when you began the taunt, but moving the view camera around will not allow you to alter which to detonate until the taunt is complete.

“
Get your thinking pants on, because the Scottish Resistance is the thinking Demoman's sticky bomb launcher.
— Scottish Resistance publicity blurb
 ”

The Scottish Resistance is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Demoman. Similar in appearance to the Stickybomb Launcher, it features warning colors on the magazine and a sensor camera wired to a portable battery taped onto the barrel. The Mann Co. logo is present on the sensor, albeit partially covered in duct tape. Additionally, the stickybombs fired are of a heavier-looking variety with larger, blunted spikes.

Unlike the default Stickybomb Launcher, the Scottish Resistance allows for selective detonation of laid bombs. Only those within a certain angle of the player's crosshair explode when alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) is pressed. Players can therefore detonate traps in set areas and from behind walls and solid objects. Bombs that can be detonated are discernible by their team color outline, or white outline as seen through walls. The number of explodable bombs within sight can be expanded if the player moves backwards, effectively encompassing the Stickybombs in the crosshair radius. This unique function allows several sticky traps to be laid in various locations, but requires the Demoman to keep watch of these areas to know when to spring the trap.

The weapon also allows detonation of bombs laid under the player's feet, allowing the user to sticky jump without having to look at the bombs directly.

Additionally, the Scottish Resistance is able to fire bombs at a faster rate, and can deploy six additional bombs for a total of 14 out at any time. The bombs, however, take longer to prime at approximately 1.5 seconds after being deployed, preventing players from firing and detonating stickies in the air at enemies effectively. The stickies also have the ability to destroy bombs laid by enemy Demomen, similar to the Quickiebomb Launcher. The speed, damage, and blast radius are identical to that of the Stickybomb Launcher's stickies.

The Scottish Resistance is automatically given to any player who obtains 17 Demoman achievements.

Bugs

  • The Scottish Resistance cannot be used to destroy stickybombs from the Sticky Jumper.
  • Stickybombs that automatically detonate after a fifteenth bomb is launched do not destroy enemy Stickybombs.
  • If the player automatically reconnects to a server after they timeout, the stickies they have placed lose their glow entirely, but can still be detonated.
  • If the player disables Payload cart glow in Advanced multiplayer options running DX9, the Scottish Resistance's Stickybombs also stop glowing.
  • If the Stickybombs are detonated while moving (i.e. immediately after they are pushed by Compression blast, rockets, grenades, or while in mid-flight) the kill feed shows the Stickybomb Launcher kill icon.
  • The backpack icon for the Scottish Resistance is the old model, with the ejection port on the other side.

Trivia

  • The weapon's name is a reference to the centuries-long period of extended Scottish insurrection against English rule after being invaded in 1296.
  • The Scottish Resistance was in no way involved in the tragic explosion of American monkeynaut Poopy Joe's capsule. Mann Co.'s subsequent desire to give away the weapon was for completely unrelated and innocent reasons.[1]
  • The Scottish Resistance was originally planned to deploy 16 stickybombs as opposed to the current 14.
  • The Sticky Jumper's projectile is a bomb model added during the WAR! Update, intended for the Scottish Resistance, that remained unused until the September 15, 2011 Patch.
  • The alternative Scottish Resistance models can be seen in Gullywash.
