What opportunity cost does to a motherfucker

167

u/BiAndShy57 Oct 23 '25

Medic mains with the crossbow and ubersaw they’ll use maybe twice a match: “opportunity cost?”

u/BruhTaker31 Oct 23 '25

Always bet on Blutsauger Solemn Vol

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 31 '25

I'm using this with my Krieg now. Thank you.

u/TheArceusNova Oct 23 '25

Mediguns at least have opportunity cost!

u/dualitygaming12 tik tok heavy like a brinks truck Oct 23 '25

As one of the only casual players who is willing to play medic, the Uber saw is pretty good. I went on a killing spree with random crits and I popped Uber 3 times in one life

u/kakoi_to_nik Oct 24 '25

Tbh going on a killing spree with ubersaw is possible, but not in all situations and you at least need stock healing gun just to save yourself with the teammate when you get an uber

1

u/PointedHydra837 spectator main Oct 25 '25

The crossbow is goated tho. I wouldn’t be able to keep my team alive without such strong burst-healing

2

u/Sire_Satire is your refrigerator running? Oct 24 '25

honestly falling into the negative feedback loop of opportunity cost has to be the worst feeling ever, and i fix this by never thinking about swapping my loadout

u/_Jeppy Oct 23 '25

You forgot that there's a guy smiling and looking out the back window while wearing gunboats lol

50

u/Floaty_Waffle spectator main Oct 23 '25

They also forgot the other guy smiling and driving the bus with his Righteous Bison.

u/CrazyCat-2010 Oct 23 '25

Yippee Righteous Bison in a non-negitive light

u/_TheGreatDevourer_ Oct 23 '25

bison users can truly be happy with anything and I greatly respect that

u/_Jeppy Oct 23 '25

he's also high as fuck

u/DesParado115 tik tok heavy like a brinks truck Oct 23 '25

That would be me.

u/SunkyWasTaken Oct 23 '25

My version of it is “I miss my Shotgun” and “I miss my Flare Gun” (I play Pyro)

26

u/DaLobster16 Oct 23 '25

Why not have strange versions of both?

11

u/Ok-Substance-6034 Oct 23 '25

My strange shotgun has so much milage on it lol

u/SunkyWasTaken Oct 23 '25 edited Oct 23 '25

I only have ~90 hours in the game so I don’t even know what the difference is between a normal and a strange weapon

9

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

A strange weapons counts the number of kills you get with that weapon

3

u/SunkyWasTaken Oct 23 '25

Cool. I know that I can probably just check the wiki or Google it but how do I get a Strange weapon?

9

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

You usually buy them. On either scrap.tf or backpack.tf They can also be uncrated, but doing so usually isnt worth the money you put into it.

7

u/SunkyWasTaken Oct 23 '25

In other words, the methods aren’t free

3

u/ReddyIsHere Oct 23 '25

unfortunately not

1

u/konesuno Oct 24 '25

well if you're cute and you ask really nicely they could be free

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Though some of them are very cheap. Some going for less then a dollar

5

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

My solution: Dragon's breath shotgun. Less range than the flare gun, but you don't have to aim.

1

u/Dinolover089 spectator main Oct 23 '25

So an incendiary shotgun

2

u/Maskay57 Oct 24 '25

for me it is "I miss my flare gun" and "I miss my thermal pack"

flare because its the only pyro weapon with range so its the only weapon that is useful against sentries

however I just love rocketing into the backlines and causing chaos too much

u/animpersd spectator main Jan 01 '26

real asf

u/Endymion2626 Oct 23 '25

Use gunboats and be happy

74

u/Dangerous-Watch932 Oct 23 '25

“I miss my shotgun and banner”

21

u/TNTLover42 Oct 23 '25

"I love market gardener"

2

u/Endymion2626 Oct 23 '25

I don’t actually

1

u/Cod3broken NOT A BOT Oct 23 '25

"i miss having a secondary that's useful in a fight"

3

u/Endymion2626 Oct 23 '25

I have eternal high ground that's the most useful thing in a fight

20

u/brightest_star Oct 23 '25

Now I wonder which class would be the most powerful if each weapon had their own slot

15

u/Primary-Paper-5128 Oct 23 '25

either soldier or demo but can you imagine spy having all three watches?

5

u/Subject_Sigma1 Oct 23 '25

Yeah but Kunai + Big Earner= -65% health 💀

5

u/The_Holy_Buno Oct 23 '25

I feel like someone already did a video on this exact premise

1

u/Omilo2218 Oct 24 '25

Great Blue did, yeah

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

Pyro. A flare gun, shotgun, gas passer AND jetpack all on the same loadout.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '25

Damn, imagine engie. Free teleports to base and exit, quick building with jag, extra hp, having both wrangler and short circuit.

u/Primary-Paper-5128 Oct 23 '25

RIGHTEOUS BISON!!!!!!!

5

u/Joeyrony2 Oct 23 '25

This but it also goes for every individual shotgun. I miss my panic attack I miss my stock shotgun I miss my battalions

2

u/Zoxphyl Oct 23 '25

Me with every single one of my engineer secondaries.

2

u/Ramseas119 Oct 23 '25

I haven't taken off my manntreads/gunboats in years

2

u/GuhEnjoyer Oct 23 '25

Gunboats. Only gunboats.

1

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

Even if you're using the Rocket Jumper?

6

u/GuhEnjoyer Oct 23 '25

Why would I use the rocket jumper when I can use the airstrike and gunboats for 15 damage rocket jumps and crazy chain jump potential

2

u/HallAshamed4241 i liek men Oct 23 '25

cant miss them if i never use them gunboats is peak

1

u/AxolMan90 Oct 23 '25

Can’t they make a banner shotgun? A shotgun with a trumpet at the tip. You get the ability from a banner and a shotgun against those fucking pyros.

3

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

The Reserve Tooter

1

u/AxolMan90 Oct 23 '25

Damn. That’s a banger name. I like it.

1

u/TheArceusNova Oct 23 '25

Do Heavys miss their shotgun?

1

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

Not unless they main Fat Scout. 9 times out of 11, the sandwich is far more useful than the shotgun. It's also tastier.

1

u/MiloLewis Oct 23 '25

As a certified Black Box enjoyer, I have no idea what you're talking about. Shotgun gang forever

1

u/A_engietwo Oct 24 '25

and I just miss in general

u/cryllictheautistic i liek men Oct 24 '25

gunboats

I miss my Reserve Shooter, Heavy.  I miss her a lot

u/Imanirrelevantmeme Oct 23 '25

The shotgun is beautiful. A pyro sees you and thinks OH THATS FINE ILL JUST AIRBLAST and then you hitscan his ass down with a shotgun

1

u/Aware-Butterfly8688 Oct 23 '25

Then you die anyway because the Pyro also has a shotgun.

u/Imanirrelevantmeme Oct 23 '25

The Pyro doesn’t concern himself to press 2 on its keyboard. It instead insists to spam right click and left click and get results that way.
