The absolute worst loadouts one can choose for each class

[TheCarpe]

You should have seen this one guy I was fighting against on TV3 the other night. No honor! I brandish my melee weapon and he shoots me! Seriously, what kind of a coward does that!

Real men melee!

It's called weapon heckling, and while the guide says it's for Scout any class can do it.

Weapon heckling involves weapon switching and varying distances from your enemy to keep them guessing. Not one player using a Scattergun while the other is using a Pain Train at all times.

Sniper:
You know the sydney sleeper is more a team oriented weapon. It should allow the front line to be more efficient (if used correctly). Unfortunately, many snipers fall into that sniper vs sniper trap. If only it worked on teammates, then it might be worth using.

The razorback is definitely the most useless of the secondary items. One time use for one backstab is just not worth it. You get loads more utility out of jarate. SMG is fun, but only when you get a kritz medic to help out Then darwin's d shield is fairly decent for survivability, but you're still better off with jarate.

I have to agree that the stock kukri is not as good as any of the other melee weapons. The tribalman's shiv, should you make contact, adds a bleed to help track down those nasty spies... The bushwacka is an awesome weapon with jarate, I've cleared tunnels with that combo.

I realize this thread is for bad loadouts, but I have found a good loadout for the scout.

Primary + Bonk! + Atomizer = Triple jumping behind and around the enemy without taking 10 damage.

Of course, you lose the pistol...and a pistol and Soda Popper combo is like...really, really good. I guess it depends on the situation.

I think the worst scout loadout for me is probably one that includes the Boston Basher. I tend to miss a lot in melee, so the whole "Hit yourself, idiot," doesn't work too well for me. Also, as much as I love the FaN, I'm not too good with it, so I don't use it as much. Also, I think I ran around with Crit-a-Cola and Fan of War for a while. It was fun.

I'm not a big fan of the Cloak and Dagger for the spy. I think it makes people playing spy lazy.

On koth maps, Direct hit and battalions backup for soldier. Yes I see people using that loadout on tv3.

That sounds horrible.

Hey! I used to be good with the D-hit, I've been trying to get my aim back in and rank up my strange D-hit.

That and TV3 is so full of new players nobody should be playing seriously.

The problem with the direct hit though, should you choose to pack a banner instead of a shotgun or raygun, you lose a lot of firepower potential because you have nothing to fall back on should you miss. On top of that, the backup provides the least return for the direct hit of the three banners since you can't build it with the DH's sizable damage output and instead have to build it by being in the fray. Plus, the backup's effect doesn't really help the DH in any way, aside from letting you live longer to squeeze off another rocket, where as the buff banner gives you mad damage boosts at longer ranges and the conch banner lets you recieve a fair amount of healing from successful shots.

Whoops, I always get confused between backup and buff banner.
To clarify, I use buff banner, with pretty much every rocket launcher.
