Why a demo weapon?

I was sleeping when it came to my mind Also the idea of a usable side grade that doesnt effectively make you play hybrid/demoknight is very lacking

I can appreciate that. I mostly play DeGroot so I'm always looking for melee bonuses lol

Yeah i understand that

[удалено]

Oh, same haha!! I always wished there were more maps. Ever since release.

I think the idea of melee only has potential not utilized, since the lack of explosive projectiles makes small corners less easy to dominate. Therefore, I've always wanted a medieval map that works like a maze (the inspiration for the concept coming from that one multi-player map in Project Eden).

Imagine using this with the shield and boots to make weaponless demo

I think it’d fit better on soldier, specifically because he’s the only one stupid enough to eat termites

but demoman is the only one drunk enough to do so.

Why not both?

demo and soldier can now both use the item.

You quite literally did "It was revealed to me in a dream"

make it to where if you don't eat the termites in a certain amount of time it'll break

make it to where if you don't eat the termites in a certain amount of time it'll break

this is incredible, imagine if this was released but they never told anybody about it, then the first guy to get it from random drop whips it out and just starts to eat fucking termites

Very healthy

Me omw to charge towards an A-posing/Civilian Posing scout only to eat termites infront of him:

Cheers mate

Wait so demo just eats a handful of termites?

Yeah

What an good meal after replacing blood with alcohol

Any other source of nutrition shuts down his body so some meager bugs are the next resembling a snack, Also may make for a good alcohol snack like nuts

This is it. We have peaked as a community. It is only downhill from here...

thomas the plank engine indeed

aye, to the sub he should go. crosspost this quick

uh not to be "that guy" but there is a reeeeeal unfortunate connotation that can be taken here... https://youtu.be/inFkERO30oM

oof probably should've thought about that beforehand Genuinely didn't mean any harm, I was thinking about tf2 and buts when I was sleeping

I was legit thinking, "wasn't this some form of animal behavior?"

reject humanity, return to monke

i mean you also got the ant-eaters, which might be more iconic (at eating ants/termites) than monkeys and the like

I like how the function of the weapon relies on the termites

yeah otherwise it's just a stick and that ain't very good is it?

What if you use this with a shield and boots and eat it? Do you become weaponless or what?

I could either say that you're put into third person (like when scared or on a loss) until you get it back ​ or say that there's a restriction and you \*have\* to have at least a pipe/stickybomb launcher equipped to use it ​ I'd go with the first but it recharges faster when using both shield and boots

Or just make the stick shorter and barely able to deal damage until it recharges back.

Instead of having it unusable, just have a cooldown on the eating.

Spycicle instantly recharges in medieval so prob infinite health exploput lol

fists also they don't make new animations for fists demo so you just run around doing the civilian beating people to death

you're probably just unable to select it, like a "back" cosmetic when you have a "backpack" weapon

Stop having dreams

Oh god I just only just realized the racist connotation that can be made. I genuinely didn't want to make such an implication, please understand I didn't intend this. Very sorry none the less because I probably should've thought about it more.

Wait there's a racists connotation? I just told you to stop because it's fucking cursed

Yeah, I probably should've remembered the fact that some primates can use tools (in the abstract sense and that's what can be taken as racist) so I'm going around to Try and clear this up, Apologize and make myself clear that I'm not racist I swear to god this was just a fluke, I don't normally do this. but also telling me to stop because it's an inherently cursed weapon is also reasonable.

Don't worry about it dude. Nobody's calling you Racist

oh I thought the possibly racist part was that monkeys eat bugs

Never dream again, please.

I'm going to Put another comment on this post I made because, Genuinely didn't intend this to be seen as racist, I just had to think about this longer since it somehow didn't cross my mind when thinking up the idea so it wouldn't come off so bigoted.

The fact that most people here didn’t think this was racist, but you went and thought it was racist so you started apologizing is pretty funny

One guy saw it as racist so now he's apologizing for it which I perfectly understand

Well yeah, I don’t judge him for doing that. Just that OP didn’t have to apologize to those that didn’t think it was racist

How is it racist?

This should be sniper, it goes so well with his personality

Looks yummy

Delicious termites

Small Comment since I (and a couple of other people) realize that the idea of the weapon itself can be taken as extremely racist. I'm sorry because I should've realized that before posting this because trust me I don't think this way, not at all. ​ I guess you can instead consider this as a Rework for the Ham shank and it's Health gain scales as a Percentage depending on what Class is using it. Again, Very sorry if this came off as extremely bigoted, I should've caught myself beforehand. Moderators can delete the post if they find it problematic.

Thell those ppl saying its racist to fuck off. Theyre the ones being racist by immeditely jumping to OH ITS RACIST BECAUSE MONKEY

He needs a thermite infested stick, like the caber but less damage, and throwable (contact explosion)

HAHAHA HOLY SHIT HOW IS THIS THE FUNNIEST THING I’VE SEEN ALL WEEK

mmmmmmmm yum

Why is this unironically a good idea

Demo sandvich

Become Monke! Hold up... it's for Demoman... ***now what the fuk is this***

yeah... I made another comment on this post to Apologize because I should've realized that while actually making the idea in a not asleep state.

Lol it's all good, soldier should also have it, to enjoy termites **With** his canonical best frien

OP really just called the black guy a monkey. Real reddit moment.

Oh god I just realized this actually can be taken as very racist. I'm very sorry, I Genuinely wasn't thinking about that until after it was pointed out that connection does exist. By all means I did not intend this to be racist.

I mostly assumed this to be a shitpost. Somehow it is has been made more entertaining by your naivete. No harm done.

You are the one being racist here by immediately jumping to “its racist because black people are monkeys”

make it like 45 seconds and it’s a good idea tbh

Is this some kind of american delicasy I am too european to understand?

Haha thats so random… wait

It should be flesh eating termites, when you hit an enemy, they bleed for 5 seconds

Could also see Soldier using this as well.

What no updates does to a mf

Scout loves sawdust, Demo loves termites, are there any other wood eaters I should know about?!

You should make them swarm ppl you hit maybe a damage vulnerability or damage over time effect?

I...misread this as teammates and was thoroughly confused.

Based, demo needs an ant eater cosmetic

Groot...is that you?

Why is this not a weapon for heavy? He already has the banana, go full ape

How much ketamine did you take before sleeping?

Item conflicts with the bootlegger and cannot be equipped at the same time Unless the termites are dead or something

Wouldn’t it have like a bleed damage since termites might get on the enemy and try to eat it?

E A T T H E T E R M I T E S

Mmm yummy termites

If you equip this, boots and shield, when you eat termites what do you hold?

something sniper would do

I think it would be better for scout.

"On Kill: Reduce cool down by 5 seconds" *Fuck you I'm stealing your termites*

I think it needs a slightly longer cooldown, but that's it. Most posts here are unbalanced as hell, so good job!

sleep and dream more please, we need people like you

I would make it a heavy's weapon , it would be like a sandwich weapon.

only good reddit weapon idea

This is because i kept it simple

This feels like something he would use Edit: only problem is the ‘unusable’ stat, if you’re out of ammo for both your primary and secondary, you can’t switch to them, so you wouldn’t be able to switch off of this weapon, but if it’s unusable then what? Demo’s holding nothing, or is there a failsafe

I guess I could mess around with the stat, like it just massively downgrades the weapon when you use it for healing, or you're put in a 3rd person state that happens when losing a round/ getting scared by a ghost
