Fun fact, the holy mackerel is a direct upgrade to Scouts stock melee. This is because if you hit a spy with it and he dead ringers, it doesnt display as a fish kill, and only shows the picture of the fish.
Total coincidence with the spy's counters being nerfed, a selection of weapons to make the stealth glass cannon basically invincible, and nothing ever being done about facestabbing.
You did not mention the fact that the Huntsman is a direct upgrade to its counterpart Fortified Compound, as if you have the cosmetic set equipped it can reduce the chance of hunger by up to 13%, a stat the Compound does not have. This is a very important detail.
"I do refuse to use a weapon if it isn't strange" i love strange weapons too but it's sad that half of them cost so much and strange parts can even make it more expensive if you want to keep track on even the most basic stats
@FuzzyFlawed14 there are like 150+ weapons, including festives and reskin i will need a lot to pour to have every single strange, don't even get me started on stranges like the kritzkrieg or the original
I respect the Ap Sap choice, but my favourite of the three Sappers has to be the Snack Attack. It's just the way it saps stuff is so funny to me, seeing half the breadmonster sticking out of the building, wiggling around while cogs and metal are flying everywhere always fills me with joy.
Technically, the Engineer has one more reskin in the Pip-Boy for his PDA, and yes, this absolutely counts because the PDA can be strange while the Pip-Boy has no strange variant but effectively changes the appearance of the PDA UI.
Ham Shank has always been my favourite after getting a Genuine one traded and decided to name it “I have a Ham to kill everyone you Meat” plus you could theoretically eat it if you’re hungry while on the battlefield
This rename is, indeed, "Genuine" it also fits the tf2 style and i cant think of anything else than "I killed this cow because it eated your grass, thank me vegans"
8:06 The Giger Counter actually pronounced gee-gur (rhymes with eager) counter. The name is a reference to both the geiger counter tool and to the surrealist artist HR Giger, who's most known for designing the creature from the Alien movies. The reskin itself is even based on the motion tracker from the films. While many people tend to say guy-gur when referencing the artist, the pronunciation is indeed different.
The Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker actually does have a strangifier, although you could only obtain it by opening certain crates during the Halloween event of 2014 I believe. This also makes them pretty damn expensive to get nowadays.
5:00 forgot to mention that the reskin does bonus damage to scouts wearing the full alien set which technically makes it better than stock (although very unlikely to happen)
As someone who also loves the Blackrose (and wishes they had a Lugermorph), I hope Valve someday add some way (Such as Mann Vs Machine Rewards or something) for new players to obtain them/let you get muliples.
Personally I use the Iron Curtain more. Something about it just looks better than stock. The lugermorph is also amazing even though it does feel funky to use. Black Rose is just something to giggle over because it's so pretty. I hope to get pro ks kits for the things, I use em all the time
Weapon reskins have always been a strange case to me on one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks its nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand not every reskin is necessarily better that the weapon its replacing, so sometimes theres no point in even using them. Hehehe okay sorry i couldnt resist starting a video like that. Yeah so with weapon reskins becoming sort of a meme on my channel for some reason what better way to end the year than giving a comprehensive break down of all the reskins in the game. And by that i mean just telling you wich ones i think are the best because theres not really much to objectively break down that i have in another video already so what im going to do is im going to through every reskin in the game compare it to counterpart and pick wich version i think is better. At the end ill tell you how many times the reskins won vs the normal versions and that way we can definitively decide wheter weapon reskins are better than stock. As for how im going to handle warpaints and festives and what not im lumping those under the normal weapon category instead of counting them as their own type of reskin. You might think that would tip the balance in favor of the stock weapons significantly but trust me when i say they need all the help the can get. And the last thing before i begin i feel the need to reiterate that this is just my opinion and the points are more for fun instead of being super serious. I would still love to hear your opinions in the comments if you disagree but theres no reason to get mad at mine. Heeeeeeeeeeeee okay lets go. - Great Blue - What is TF2's Best Weapon Reskin? - 0:00 - 1:12 - Intro
@@John-ev2jv Including the Saxxy and Golden Frying Pan is like letting Anatoly Karpov compete in a school chess club We can all hear the boss music, and it's not going to be fair for anyone involved
On the topic of Strangeifiers, I think we need a better way to obtain them in general. Right now I don't even think they are obtainable at all, and if there is a way then I'm completely oblivious to it. IMO it's time for a MvM update that adds new Missions to the game, increases the pool of Australiums available and gets a new sidegrade Mission to Two Cities that drops Strange parts & Chemistry Sets rather than Killstreak Kit Fabricators.
I have collected all of the reskins for a bit now. The only ones I’m missing are the fish cake, maul, memory maker/saxxy, and the apsap. They make so much more of a difference on my gameplay than cosmetics and that’s what I love so much about them.
I like using the crossing gaurd because I can more accurately tell if people are in my melee distance compared to something like the bottle. I swear you can miss by a fair amount with the bottle and still hit.
I like the crossing guard because I have one named "Choo Choo Motherfucker" and I think it's funny. That being said I REALLY wish it could be used by Engineer. He has a bunch of train themed cosmetics already so it's not fair that he's one of two classes unable to use train themed weapon.
Man, I could've sworn I had a Robo Sandvich... That said, the MvM items I DO have are pretty sick, I got the lockbox, the soldier's Sparkplug, the battery bandolier, and my favorite: that one that's based off heavy's headdress that made all the feathers into jets of fire. That thing looks sick as hell
I heard the Mario 64 file select music and immediately upon noticing it and the blue gradient background, immediately checked the comments section to see if anyone else got the reference.
@@cheesepop7175 One one hand, if you like making references but hate noone getting them, it's always nice to have a nearly universally understood option. But on the other hand, not every Mario 64 reference is necessarily more well-known than the reference it's replacing, so sometimes there's no point in even making 'em.
10:50 during the entirety of this video, i kept thinking "the black rose is easily gonna win since it can be stranged"......then it hit me like a soggy sack of bricks. it WASN'T a strangifier for the black rose i've had in my bag for the last year. it was a professional killstreak fabricator, and i felt like an idiot XD
Prinny machete looks so based on spy. The way he holds it paired with the right cosmetics can be Intimidating. Cosmetics I use are the bandanas and a night vision goggles hat, I forgot which one

@@callsignapollo_ Also allegedly it had malware in it or somethin', so maybe it's for the best it stays deep-sixed, even at the cost of a sick Spy knife
I think I prefer the napalmer over the stock flamethrower. Even though it's an Alien reference, it reminds me of the aesthetic of post apocalypse games which is a look I really dig.
Correction at 11:25 ; The game in question was not ARMA, but rather, a free to play shooter game called "Alliance of Valiant Arms" (A.V.A). The black rose was a promotional item that was in TF2 that was also in the game itself (Iirc you got it for free if you also played TF2). The game shut down in June 29, 2018, so as of now, the black rose is essentially a rare item only TF2 veterans kind of have now. The fact its also marked as an untradeable achievement item makes it so newer players will never have a chance to get this. unless they somehow get their hands on a tradeable one, which, god damn good luck.
Regarding the Wee Booties and Bootlegger, I personally prefer the Bootlegger since the demo pants I use have their own shoe models and the Bootlegger doesn't clash much at all as opposed to the tips of the wee booties clipping through everything
i love the watch out for rolling rocks hlaf an a press reference, its so complete dude he even put the music, i wish i stumbled into this sooner it truly changed my way of seeing you
5:49 This is the first thing in this video I disagreed with you on. The Axtinguisher is a great looking weapon, sure. But there are few things funnier than setting someone on fire then bashing them over the head with a mailbox and running away at the speed of light.
I think it's just the sheer difference of impressions that make the postal plummerer so amazing: "A fire axe wrapped in barbed wire? Pretty cool" Vs "[You got mail], **SMASH** "
Dang, we're polar opposites on the Postal Pummeler! That's my favorite Pyro melee! I even managed to nab myself a Collector's Postal Pummeler and named it _Post-Pwned._
The original is also quieter than stock sometimes, technically it’s the same volume but it only has lower frequencies so if your headphones aren’t sensitive to bass it’s effectively quieter. It’s basically an upgrade
Personally my favorite reskins come from war paints. Especially for Heavy. Autumn Mk II Family Business used for fat scout with Professor Speks, Dead of Night (Dark), and Eliminator's Safeguard (visor up). Makes you look (and feel) like riot police.
Woah, I'm the Pyro at 4:27, that's rad! I've never seen anyone else use the GrandMaster and Spectrum Splattered Warpaint together. Thanks for roasting me to a crisp.
i seriously wonder why they didnt make the apoco fists a kgb reskin. not only do they look way to cool to be a reskin of what is pretty much a direct downgrade, but imagine taking the steak and using the crits you get kgb, and combining it with the gibs from the apoco fists. it'd be so cool
idk if you excluded it due to rarity, but what about the saxxy, I mean you included the memory maker which is only slightly more common saxxy would win hands down, turning people to gold is something only shared by the golden pan, and while I'd say the golden pan is better then the saxxy in a bubble, knowing the person killing me is talented and not just rich makes me prefer the saxxy
I think the memory maker is included solely because you can have it unlocked for you through achievement servers (the same ones that give you the necro smasher, frontline field recorder, director's vision taunt etc). So a lot more people than you'd expect have access to it. Including me.
Personally, I would love it if promo reskins got strange variants and strangifiers. Stock could have simple stats like extra ammo added for no random crits(stock scattergun and grenade launcher get two, rocket launcher, sticky launcher and shotgun get one extra shot), medic primary and melee should have alt fire that does burst healing as a start to give some features to the stock. Valve comp could drop strangerifers, killstreaks, even older collection item drops.
@@dcp0102 You misunderstand, plus I probably explained it poorly so I don't put in a whole ass book in the comments section. My idea for STOCK with more ammo where appropriate is "you load more ammo, but have random crits disabled until you spend it all and do a normal reload" and yes with no random crits servers that might be OP. However, I want only stock to have that function, as well as where appropriate alt fires like for a obvious example of Scattergun, alt fire switches to and from a two shot mode(no random crits, -10% damage and 50% knockback for what is basically mini Force a Nature as a mode, but you can go two shot switch to normal shot and finish them off. or use the Two shot mode for air dodge tactics. you cannot use two shot mode with extra load, same for stock shotgun(which is more of a burst shot)). A good thing that you mentioned Medics wonderful stock medigun. the Medic Meta is such that the crossbow and ubersaw are most effective, think of it like if stock medigun had no uber and other mediguns did, not very good idea right? Medic primaries and melees need some alt fire that does bust healing, simply give syringe guns and crossbow types what is basically a sandvich(medium heath pack, 30 second cooldown, cannot throw it and pick it up to self heal, when at full health can pick up map health pack to replenish the med pack, gives 5% uber on heal) to throw on alt fire, while the melees get a injector syringe in the left hand that is a melee ranged sort of 20% health on hit that could give extra health and when on it's 15 second cooldown, you have a 25 damage plus 33% faster swing speed no random crits melee that on stock bonesaw gives 5% uber as a upside. stock melees could have a simple "third hit does XYZ", "alt fire does a wind up for minicrit damage" or for the Heavy "on kill: 5 seconds of speed boost" plus a new core class passive I call Rushing Slav for the Heavy that makes it so that with his main damage dealer holstered he is 15% faster with his other slots and it stacks with speed boosts as the new base speed on secondary and melee slots.
FINALLY!! A VIDEO RANKING THE RESKINS!! I've always been a sucker for these reskins over the decorations and unusuals simply because of how colorful they are compared to their stock weapons. I've had my eyes on all the readily available ones for years, and I've even gotten myself the Lugermorph and Big Kill when I probably shouldn't have put the time and effort in, and it started from me wanting the Ham and Skull and finding them for cheap on a trading site. Currently I do not own the Batsaber, Black Rose, the bread items, all the sappers, the obvious Saxxy and Memory Maker, and the metal sandvich, which is the one that bums me out the most.
The lack of strange weapon reskin cases in TF2 has always seemed like a strange case to me.
Hehehhehe strange case

Most of the reason why not is probably copyright issues.

Correction at 11:25 ; The game in question was not ARMA, but rather, a free to play shooter game called "Alliance of Valiant Arms" (A.V.A). The black rose was a promotional item that was in TF2 that was also in the game itself (Iirc you got it for free if you also played TF2). The game shut down in June 29, 2018, so as of now, the black rose is essentially a rare item only TF2 veterans kind of have now. The fact its also marked as an untradeable achievement item makes it so newer players will never have a chance to get this. unless they somehow get their hands on a tradeable one, which, god damn good luck.
Regarding the Wee Booties and Bootlegger, I personally prefer the Bootlegger since the demo pants I use have their own shoe models and the Bootlegger doesn't clash much at all as opposed to the tips of the wee booties clipping through everything
"i do refuse to use a weapon if it isnt strange"
rich people moment ☕
HE DID IT
he even said in a podcast episode that he likely wouldnt make weapon reskins 3, but he still did it!
doing things have always seemed like a strange case to me.
HE SAID THE THING
10:25 wait hold up, doesn't that logo look similar to the one that CTs use in csgo?
Evil Great Blue be like:
Weapon reskins in TF2 have never seemed like a strange case to me.

The pannencocke(?) reference to explain half a weapon reskin was pretty funny especially after learning about half A presses

@@blankedout1862 I was aware of the uncommentated and commentated channels just not sure how to spell the name. Thanks for that
the rose is literally a butterfly knife that stabs you when you use it. if only i had one :(
i love the watch out for rolling rocks hlaf an a press reference, its so complete dude he even put the music, i wish i stumbled into this sooner it truly changed my way of seeing you
5:49 This is the first thing in this video I disagreed with you on. The Axtinguisher is a great looking weapon, sure. But there are few things funnier than setting someone on fire then bashing them over the head with a mailbox and running away at the speed of light.
I think it's just the sheer difference of impressions that make the postal plummerer so amazing:
"A fire axe wrapped in barbed wire? Pretty cool"
Vs
"[You got mail], **SMASH** "
Dang, we're polar opposites on the Postal Pummeler! That's my favorite Pyro melee!
I even managed to nab myself a Collector's Postal Pummeler and named it _Post-Pwned._
The original is also quieter than stock sometimes, technically it’s the same volume but it only has lower frequencies so if your headphones aren’t sensitive to bass it’s effectively quieter. It’s basically an upgrade

As an actual saxxy owner, I am disappointed.
It's Darth zed
The reason spy has so many reskins, is because he is Gaben's favorite class.
Man, hopefully they update the game and give every class a bread reskin, hopefully in the heavy update
For the YER vs Wanga: you missed one important thing, it gives you a excuse to yell WANGA whenever you get a backstab
your eternal reward looks better, wanga prick is just a toothpick
knifes have always seemed like a strange case to me
A reskin is a reskin, you can't say it's only a half
12:35 Uhm acktually the Necro Smasher is all class *except* Spy.
🤓
10:05 it's because they're disguised, it's thematic.
I wonder how this video would change if Blue didn't care about kill tracking 😂
A strange Ap-Sap that talks your ear off and tracks the engineer nests you've totaled with it?? That sounds amazing.
2:06 lmao, love the goofiness scale
3:48 that was good, rip my guy TJ
5:15 one thing going for the lolichop is its unique taunt, which is actually very cool
taunts have always seemed like a strange case to me

THE HALF A-PRESS JOKE IS GODLY. You are a legend Great Blue.
More people need to talk about this, I laughed my ass off at this
Personally my favorite reskins come from war paints. Especially for Heavy. Autumn Mk II Family Business used for fat scout with Professor Speks, Dead of Night (Dark), and Eliminator's Safeguard (visor up). Makes you look (and feel) like riot police.
also minigun with top shelf war paint also looks cool

What is the PipBoy for the Engineer catagorized as? Cause it does change how his pda works
3:33 Absolutely legendary.
The Mario 64 menu music gives me PSTD FROM PANNENKOEK2012
and I love it
Ngl didn't even know that the crossing guard and bird staff existed before this video 1:25
Woah, I'm the Pyro at 4:27, that's rad! I've never seen anyone else use the GrandMaster and Spectrum Splattered Warpaint together. Thanks for roasting me to a crisp.
i seriously wonder why they didnt make the apoco fists a kgb reskin. not only do they look way to cool to be a reskin of what is pretty much a direct downgrade, but imagine taking the steak and using the crits you get kgb, and combining it with the gibs from the apoco fists. it'd be so cool
GUYS HE SAID THE THING 😲
I'm waiting for the day where Valve would add a rubber chicken as a stock melee weapon
After watching this video several times, i can truly say that weapon reskins in tf2 are a strange case.
That ham shank made me wheeze in a way I have never wheezed before.
I've been doing that bit for years and yet somehow didn't expect it.
12:05 yo what about the saxxy tho?
WEAPON RESKINS IN TF2 HAVE ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE A STRANGE CASE TO ALL OF US BROTHER !!!!
9:18 ackshully u meant sunk- cost fallacy 🤓
Doesn't the medic have the bust as replacement for stock?
No
idk if you excluded it due to rarity, but what about the saxxy, I mean you included the memory maker which is only slightly more common
saxxy would win hands down, turning people to gold is something only shared by the golden pan, and while I'd say the golden pan is better then the saxxy in a bubble, knowing the person killing me is talented and not just rich makes me prefer the saxxy
Fr, I have met only one person ever with a Saxxy in my time playing TF2 and I am super jealous. I got to hold it once after they died :o
I think the memory maker is included solely because you can have it unlocked for you through achievement servers (the same ones that give you the necro smasher, frontline field recorder, director's vision taunt etc). So a lot more people than you'd expect have access to it. Including me.
The Apoco-fists is literally just Mr. Torgue yelling "PUNCH HIM SO HARD HE EXPLODES"
3:19 its the sound design
At least you're in time for Orthodox Christmas
12:30 thanks man, very cool
10:17 Wow I got to be in a Great Blue vid and all I do is drink cola, run in, and almost die immediately. I’m so proud of myself!
Weapon reskins
Pan is my favorite simply because panning a spy to death is really hilarious
Personally, I would love it if promo reskins got strange variants and strangifiers.
Stock could have simple stats like extra ammo added for no random crits(stock scattergun and grenade launcher get two, rocket launcher, sticky launcher and shotgun get one extra shot), medic primary and melee should have alt fire that does burst healing as a start to give some features to the stock.
Valve comp could drop strangerifers, killstreaks, even older collection item drops.
@@dcp0102 You misunderstand, plus I probably explained it poorly so I don't put in a whole ass book in the comments section.
My idea for STOCK with more ammo where appropriate is "you load more ammo, but have random crits disabled until you spend it all and do a normal reload" and yes with no random crits servers that might be OP. However, I want only stock to have that function, as well as where appropriate alt fires like for a obvious example of Scattergun, alt fire switches to and from a two shot mode(no random crits, -10% damage and 50% knockback for what is basically mini Force a Nature as a mode, but you can go two shot switch to normal shot and finish them off. or use the Two shot mode for air dodge tactics. you cannot use two shot mode with extra load, same for stock shotgun(which is more of a burst shot)).
A good thing that you mentioned Medics wonderful stock medigun. the Medic Meta is such that the crossbow and ubersaw are most effective, think of it like if stock medigun had no uber and other mediguns did, not very good idea right? Medic primaries and melees need some alt fire that does bust healing, simply give syringe guns and crossbow types what is basically a sandvich(medium heath pack, 30 second cooldown, cannot throw it and pick it up to self heal, when at full health can pick up map health pack to replenish the med pack, gives 5% uber on heal) to throw on alt fire, while the melees get a injector syringe in the left hand that is a melee ranged sort of 20% health on hit that could give extra health and when on it's 15 second cooldown, you have a 25 damage plus 33% faster swing speed no random crits melee that on stock bonesaw gives 5% uber as a upside.
stock melees could have a simple "third hit does XYZ", "alt fire does a wind up for minicrit damage" or for the Heavy "on kill: 5 seconds of speed boost" plus a new core class passive I call Rushing Slav for the Heavy that makes it so that with his main damage dealer holstered he is 15% faster with his other slots and it stacks with speed boosts as the new base speed on secondary and melee slots.

3:39 pannekoek2012 reference B)
FINALLY!! A VIDEO RANKING THE RESKINS!!
I've always been a sucker for these reskins over the decorations and unusuals simply because of how colorful they are compared to their stock weapons. I've had my eyes on all the readily available ones for years, and I've even gotten myself the Lugermorph and Big Kill when I probably shouldn't have put the time and effort in, and it started from me wanting the Ham and Skull and finding them for cheap on a trading site.
Currently I do not own the Batsaber, Black Rose, the bread items, all the sappers, the obvious Saxxy and Memory Maker, and the metal sandvich, which is the one that bums me out the most.
You forgot the iron bomber
Alright now wheres the guy who made a new account called "TJ "Heavy" Yoshi" purely to comment in this video
What is the paint of this knife skin? 11:00
nahh bro stock over the big kill is crazzyy
11:00 What is this warpaint?
Thanks for the pannenkoek reference, truly wasnt ready for it.
