Today I am doing my fifth Team Fortress 2 post on the drunk demoman. The demoman excels at defense and is excellent for area denial (eg. defending a control point) and for mid-range and melee combat. The demoman also deals massive amounts of splash damage taking out groups of enemies along with single enemies. Also the demoman can bounce his grenades of walls to kill enemies and the demoman is the 'sentry-killer'. With the demoman's all powerful sticky bomb launcher he can defend a control point while doing other things and then he can detonate his stickies when an enemy comes on the point dealing huge damage. Also the demoman has some of the most powerful melee items in the game. Also there is a 'sub-class' called the demoknight. This uses melee weapons to attack people instead of explosives.
A good strategy for being a good demoman is to put your sticky bombs onto walls and ceilings in narrow corridors or in control point rooms. If it is too dangerous to go close press and hold left click and your sticky will go further. Also to reach unreachable heights the demoman can 'sticky-jump' when you place a bomb under your feet and then detonate it.
A brief description of the demoman:
Weapons:
Primary:
This is the chargin' targe. This item allows you to charge at people super fast and depending on the distance give you mini-crit or critical damage. If you crash into someone this item does around 50 damage. Also you 50% less fire damage and are immune to afterburn and you take 40% less explosive damage but not against yourself.
This weapon here is the scottish resistance. I think this weapon is pretty wierd and not useful but it can be good in some circumstances. This weapon can destroy enemy stickies and you can lay up to 14 sticky bombs and select which ones you want to destroy. Also this weapon has 25% extra firing speed and has 12 more ammo carried. Unfortunately this weapon takes 0.8 seconds longer to prime.
This is the sticky jumper. Like the rocket jumper you do not take damage or deal damage with this weapon. It allows you to sticky jump.
This is the splendid screen. Like the chargin' targe this weapon allows you to charge but guarantees a critical hit wherever you are in the charge. Also this weapon does more shield damage doing around 80 and adds 20% fire resistance, 15% explosive ~resistance not to yourself~ and it has an ability to deal damage wherever you are in the charge.
The bottle is the demoman's stock melee weapon. This weapon does 65 damage as its base and 195 as its critical. It's skin are Scottish handshake, frying pan, conscientious objector, freedom staff, bat outta hell, memory maker, ham shank and the saxxy.
The pain train allows you to cap the point or push the cart 2x faster but it increases your bullet damage vulnerability by 10%. Use this at the last point for the payload cart or capture point.
This is the persian persuader. This weapon allows the recharge time to recharge 100% faster and has a 37% longer melee range. This weapon has no random critical hits and all ammo collected turns into health.
Thank you all for reading I do appreciate it. If you have any suggestions for games leave it in the comments.
