The Quickiebomb Launcher 1 - 100 Able to destroy enemy stickybombs -0.2 sec faster bomb arm time Max charge time decreased by 50% -15% damage penalty -25% clip size Stickybombs fizzle 2 seconds after landing

The Quickiebomb Launcher is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a black, sleek stickybomb launcher with a wooden foregrip and stock, and a belt wrapped around the drum-shaped magazine. A piston-like wooden and metal charging handle sits above the base of the stock, directly attached to the back of the barrel.

The stickybombs fired by this weapon are spiked, with glowing team-colored sections. They are armed 0.2 seconds more quickly, making them detonatable after roughly half a second and optimizing them for quick in-combat detonations (or "airbursting"). Additionally, due to a 50% increase in charge rate, the charge meter is filled up after only two seconds instead of four, allowing long-range "sticky sniping" at a much higher rate of fire. The stickybombs are also able to destroy enemy stickybombs, similar to the Scottish Resistance. However, the Quickiebomb Launcher has a 25% smaller clip size (loading only 6 bombs at a time), and its stickybombs deal 15% less damage. In addition, while there may still be up to 8 stickybombs active at once, they each vanish 2 seconds after landing on a surface; as a result, long-term sticky traps are impossible, and even short-term ones can practically contain no more than 3-4 bombs.This makes it not as ideal as the other stickybomb launchers,but is ok for close quarters combat and deals less damage so is a little better for sticky jumping with the B.A.S.E Jumper.

The Quickiebomb Launcher was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Kingmaker".
