Talk:Ullapool Caber

Direct Hit

Can some spaders figure out if the "caber toss" from this weapon counts as "being launched into the air by explosion damage" for the Direct Hit's mini crit effect? Grug 08:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Bugs

"When equipped with the Sticky Jumper, the explosion will not harm the user." Would this really be considered a bug along with all the other bugs involving explosion damage not being taken? I think 100 health + no self explosion damage seems pretty justified. Mr.JimmyBojangles 22:59, 18 December 2010 (UTC) This is should not be a bug. I have seen this setup in many cases and found that it's actually an alternative play style to the demo that is distinctly different from a demo knight/melee play style. It's a more specialized setup that enables the player to focus more on building destructions as well.

I'd like to note that the Caber not exploding when striking an ally during friendly fire probably shouldn't be considered a bug, given the mechanics of Friendly Fire. InShane 03:56, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Chargin' Targe

Can someone write note, that Chargin' Targe is working with this weapon. It can instant kill heavy when full distance charge is done. It's very usefull note. Krathel 07:57, 20 December 2010

It should also be noted that the Chargin' Targe does not reduce the self inflicted damage of the caber, despite it being explosive damage.Freq. 11:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Caber with Tartan Spartan

I'm not sure the explosion damage actually counts for Tartan Spartan, I went on a bit of a spree with it earlier, and every time I respawned I was only awarded with the damage caused with my pipes towards the achievement... TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 23:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

it wouldn't be practical but possible for the caber to get tartan spartan due to the fact explosive damge is caused but it can only do this once per life making it quite pointless as to mentioning it - Lexar - talk 00:04, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Aye, the Caber counts towards Tartan Spartan from my own personal experience, going on a spree and killing some bots with the Caber's explosive damage using tf_bot_add. However, as Lexar said, it's not really practical to do that, but still good for amusement :) Magic Magician 07:01, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
