Bugs

  • The Loch-n-Load uses the same reload animation as the Grenade Launcher, making it appear as if the Demoman is loading grenades into the side of the barrel.
  • Grenades fired bounce off certain dynamic surfaces such as the moving walkways of Nucleus, as well as teammates.
  • The sight has been moved up the barrel, and is therefore not properly clipped into the correct position.

Trivia

  • The Loch-n-Load's name is a word play on the phrase "lock and load", a slang military command to prepare firearms for battle. The word "loch" is a Gaelic word for "lake", and is a reference to bodies of water such as Loch Ness in Scotland.
