“

Ye appear to 'ave trodden on a mine! Click to listen — The Demoman

”

The Stickybomb Launcher is the default secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a modified grenade launcher with a large magazine and wide barrel.

This weapon launches small, glowing, spiked bombs that adhere to almost any surface, but bounce off enemy players, buildings, and certain map entities such as spawn gates or carts. Stickybombs do not explode on contact, but instead can be detonated manually with secondary fire approximately 0.7 seconds after being deployed. The bombs disappear harmlessly in a white flash if the owner dies or if they are hit by bullets, syringes, melee attacks, or explosions caused by Scottish Resistance and Quickiebomb Launcher Stickybombs. Up to eight Stickybombs can be placed at one time; the oldest Stickybomb detonates when the player tries to deploy a ninth bomb. The total number of bombs in place on the map is shown in the HUD.

Should a Stickybomb be hit by an explosion or compression blast from any enemy weapon barring the Scottish Resistance and the Quickiebomb Launcher, it is pushed away, but does not detonate. The Stickybombs are otherwise unharmed by the force of the blast. Stickybomb explosions deal splash damage: there is a blast radius falloff that causes less damage to be done the greater the distance a target is from the center of an explosion, even for critical hits. Note that sticky explosions can juggle targets for more damage.

The Demoman can also use Stickybombs to propel himself into the air. Unlike the Soldier, however, the self-damage incurred by such a tactic is much higher; sometimes as much as half of a Demoman's total health.

Stickybombs are fired from the launcher at 805 Hammer units per second, around 34 miles per hour. By holding down primary fire, the launcher can be charged up to launch a Stickybomb over greater distances. A meter below the ammo count will show how much force is behind the Stickybomb, and the launcher will begin to tremble when it reaches its maximum strength. If the charge bar fills completely, the sticky will fire automatically. A fully charged Stickybomb travels at a speed equivalent to approximately 230% of that of an uncharged one. It should be noted that Stickybombs will not be 100% accurate in where they land.

Unused content

Unused Pipebomb model.

• Based on its name displayed on the stats page, the Stickybomb Launcher was originally supposed to be the Pipebomb Launcher, a weapon from the first Team Fortress. It is thought to have been similar to the Grenade Launcher except that the grenades would only detonate when the player pressed the alt fire key (as seen in Trailer 2). The Pipebomb Launcher's grenade is still in the game files.

Bugs

• The Scottish Resistance-specific Achievement Sticky Thump can sometimes be earned with this weapon.
• When changing the styles on the festive variant, the preview does not show the light bulbs.

Trivia

• The Stickybomb Launcher bears resemblance to a weapon cut from Half-Life 2, simply named the "Sticky Launcher". Had it been included, it would have functioned in an almost identical manner, except that it would stick to enemies as well as map surfaces.
• In a 2008 interview Robin Walker explained that internally at Valve, at one point Sticky Bombs were referred to as "winbombs" due to being perceived as too powerful by the development team.
