- Weapon reskins in tf2 have always been a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, these reskins also have stereotypes attached to them that are different from what item the reskin originates from, so why not talk about said stereotypes?

Just wanted to make a quick comment to say that yes i realize i forgot a few reskins like the capper and the quakenbirdt. Sorry if you were expecting to see them in this video they just kinda slipped my mind. I also just want to say the support this video has gotten has been insane, genuinely thank you for all the love this video has gotten
Stealing video ideas in tf2 have always been a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a video works but hate how the stupid orange hat guy looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, this video is pretty good 9 short cello loops out of 10.
You forgot one of the the big kill’s stereotype
Comically Large Revolver
th-cam.com/video/R-snlySu4Z8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8tp2cwXkK9uxOLNR
Also Necro Smasher Hog Rider Demo
Darn I really wanted to see the capper
I only have 2 reeskins i actually use and you only put one of them, cmon man how could you do that to me
@@pedrotzexpacial3612 I did that to specifically spite you
This will be Soundsmith in 2014

Bro it’s 3024
Anyone watching this in 2012?
@@yes2828na man it’s 2009
Excuse me, it appears to be 1967 right now. Are you all time travelers? Is this some sort of prank? Shame on you all and go make me another cup of coffee.
TF2ber Reskins have always seemed like a strange case to me
Dude the effort that went into making this look EXACTLY like the Soundsmith stereotypes videos is commendable, I did a double take when I saw it. The jokes hit the same as they did in the OG series and the pacing is *perfect*. Good stuff, man.
I like the reference to Great Blue's catchphrase in the beginning as well.
@@4sythdude549heck he even kinda sounds like great blue
Bootleger stereotype: There is a 50% chance he is using the tide turner
The others 50% is him dont have tide turner unlocked
bro even added his mannerisms, pauses on words that need emphasis, and silly jokes. bro could be his doppelganger
Spy canonically sleeps with scout's mother, so I assume the unarmed combat is once he catches him...
That's his father lol
Spy is literally Scout's dad
thank you for filling my tf2 stereotype appetite
Next up: Viewmodel FOV Stereotypes
"We have SoundSmith at home"
SoundSmith at home:
but for real, you actually added a bunch of effort in this video and it shows haha
weapon reskins have always seemed like a strange c- *Gunshot*
15:50 It should be noted that the Necro Smasher is the most accessible reskin on Engineer available if you want a proper Wrench Reskin.
Weirdly enough, it's the only Reskin in the game that is available on all classes, except Spy.
That, but also the prinny, saxxy, and golden pan are the only TRUE all class melee, and the former cost an arm and 3 kidneys
I want Medic to have a sword.
I don't care if it's just a shitty reskin of the stock bonesaw, I just want a bigass sword. 💀
Medic paladin set when?
Imagine medic wielding Dragon Slayer from berserk...
I want medic to have a shotgun. Maybe a double Barrel with a highly nerfed firerate, but ANYTHING that can be used as a real weapon
I think SoundSmith will make some videos on weapon stereotypes for all classes.
Soundsmith technically already made a stereotype video on the all class melees.
@@Anonymous-cn9ow dude, its a joke.
Yup, the Crossing Guard was dead-on for me. Always hated how the Pain Train was just a railroad spike on a board and had so little to do with trains besides that. I like trains. I set out to get a strange Crossing Guard and immediately named it "The Pain Train" with the description "All aboard the pain train! Next stop, your faceville!" It's my go-to stock melee reskin on most loadouts that I have a stock melee on. Prinny Machete is somewhat true for me, renamed it M9 Bayonet. I also have a collector's professional killstreak Nessie's because I always thought it was cool. "Tiger Woods' Bludgeoning Stick" she's called, with the description of "Fore!" I love it.
Australiums: An australiuim user is generally going to fall into one of two categories.
The first are some of the most lethal players you'll ever run into in the game. These guys will always be using the primary stock reskins, unless they're playing Heavy in which case it's a toss up between the stock and the tomislav. Regardless, you can pick these players out by the fact that the aussie that they're using has about 10k kills on it and is customized to the nth degree. Custom name, pro ks kit, strange parts, festivized, if there's something they could do to this weapon they have done so. Essentially, this person plays so much TF2 that dropping 3 figures on the primary weapon in their loadout didn't seem entirely insane. Just hope this guy is on your side, because god help you if he's on the other team.
The second, far less threatening group, are either high-tier traders or MvM sweats. They got their aussie either as part of a trade or through an MvM drop, and figure they may as well use the extra-shiny weapon. They hope people will assume they're part of the first group, and they'll usually be at least competent at the game, but since most of their experience involves either mindless robots or trade server deathmatches it will be apparently pretty quickly they're not the gods that they want the peasants to think they are.
For bootlegger: players roleplaying as horseless headless horsemann
I'm surprised people cheated in the black rose considering how easy it was to get it, it was literally just play the game once and you would get the achievement, I personally got it legit. I actually still use it today because its a pretty reskin and I like the trusty stock knife the most as its just simply a good reliable knife with no downsides (though also no upsides, but oh well, its the knife)
Thank you, weapon reskins no longer seem like a strange case to me.
I got the Prinny Machete for my Heavy so I can pretend he's Brock Samson.
(I'm not doing well in Poker Night 2.)
OMFG was THIS a GODDAMN SOUNDSMITH REFERENCE???
Ohhh this is a neat idea. I'd like to see a whole series like this.
And that intro was awesome.
Headtaker stereotype: if you see him on the enemy team, run. If he's on your team, run.
A strange shooting star costs less than a strange machina
dayumn
stereotype for the self-aware beauty mark/mutated milk: players who use these think they have an edge because of the very slight increase in throwing distance thanks to source jank
Another stereotype for the Apoco Fists could be that the person is a fan of the Saints Row games. Since it was a promo item for Saints Row The Third. Plus you could unlock it in SRTT and gibs anyone you kill with it like it's ability in TF2
Lugermorph Engies are probably more likely to be cowboys. It’s a Luger, it sorta fits the cowboy aesthetic.
I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few Ap-Sap Spies miss the Wheatley voice spam. Really sad how that one got patched out.
I think Nessie’s players just really want a strange one. Sure there’s the Eyelander, but the Nessie’s has a sort of flair to it.
I also believe Prinny Machetes are frequently used by Spy cosplay loadouts, Heavy coming to mind the most.
Also, just a fun note, Strange Shooting Stars have frequently been cheaper than Strange Machinas, likely due to the wider release of the Invasion crates. Which is a nice change of pace compared to the ludicrous prices of Strange Huntsman, Gunslinger, and Kritzkrieg.
The Quackenbirdt falls into three categories:
1) A different looking stock watch to spice up the loadout
2) Duck fans, likely sporting the Duck Billed Hatypus and a Duck Journal. Don’t be surprised if you hear a quack before getting killed by one
3) The elusive Hitman fan. I personally haven’t seen one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if fans of the series run the promotional item tied to it.
For Capper players, it’s basically the same tryhard stereotype as Lugermorph Scouts, but it applies across both classes.
And, for my favorite reskin, the Crossing Guard, while available in Strange quality, has no dedicated Killstreak Kit. Never has. Any Killstreak Crossing Guards you see are Specialized or Professional, and were obtained by using a glitched universal kit. It’s stupid annoying.
There's one other important detail about the Quackenbirdt - the way the viewmodel cloak meter works.
Unlike the stock invis watch, instead of its viewmodel cloak meter showing duration as a horizontal bar, it shows it as a circle with a radial fill - which can make it easier to tell how much of your cloak you have remaining.
But, you might be asking about the Enthusiast's Timepiece - that Pac Man-shaped indicator on it must serve the same purpose, right? Unfortunately, it doesn't. It suffers from the same problem as the view model cloak meter on the (pre-rework) Dead Ringer - instead of draining at a linear rate, it drains at a wacky rate - which makes it nigh impossible to tell at a glance how much cloak you actually have left.
And this detail is why, even though I do own the timepiece, I'm in Quackenbirdt gang. If the Timepiece didn't suffer from the wacky cloak meter drain rate, I'd actually use it.
Actually, FUN FACT about the Black Rose in particular: You couldn't use SAM to unlock it, AVA's achievements were attached to their own servers and SAM wouldn't let you unlock anything.
ive seen some lugermorph engies that usually have a cowboy loadout of sorts. so yeah its probably that.
oh hey I'm that pyro you crit in the clip at 13:35 lmao
im so sorry girlboss gary, i didnt want that crit
10/10 best TF2 nickname i've seen so far
Bro thinks he’s sounsmith💀
I do love it when the algorithm drops a random with next to no subs into my recommended, props for putting in the extra care and attention to an effective point even up to the meta level, well played.
Your other content is pretty solid too, I hope the site realizes this and pushes you to more people, ideally at a pace you find reasonable :v
I love this for no reason at all

Bootlegger is arguably one the only reskin that gets more usage than their original counterpart. Since it's easy to get and is more visually appealing, almost every demoknight around will have them
5:30 I have a professional Nessie's... I like it more than eyelander...
Im waiting the SoundSmith he write "Huh? You want my pupil or be alone as hack copy-cat" smthng and leave without elaborate.
Not even ten seconds in and we already have a Great Blue Reference, Five Stars
Only reason Bootlegger is better than Booties: "Impress women!"
The 3 festive sandvich users (me included) re sfae from stereotypes yet again
Weapon reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me
prinny knife is neat because it lets other classes (like Heavy) cosplay as The Spy
I don't know if this is all that wide-spread, but the majority of Bread Bite users I see tend to be Hoovies who use it as a goofy-looking alternative to the Holiday Punch. Not sure if anyone but me has ever experienced this, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.
the bootlegger is usually used by stickytanks not demoknigts.
I do fall into the Maul stereotype but it comes with job of being pybro only when our engineer is suffering trying to defend, usually thanks to the 5 enemy spies.
If my engie is doing fine on his own even when being pressured I'm usually off doing something else.
Somebody had to pick up the bucket of schlop
People who wears the Bootlegger because of how it doesn't stand out. Maybe they want to look cool. Or maybe they want it to be a pirate. But really, you only use it over Ali Baba's Wee Booties because it will look rather ridiculously with the cosmetics you choose with the Baba's Wee Booties... Unless you want to be a christmas elf.
13:29 3 more things you often see on objectors:
1. MLP
2. Nothing (they don’t have a decal tool)
3. an image of whoever they’re cosplaying as
for the awper hand, i just use it because the awp sound is amazing. i could listen to it for a whole day and still not get tired of it, while the stock sniper rifle's sound is oddly annoying for me (dont know why)
only thing that would make this better was to put "how it feels to be a weapon reskin stereotype"
Yes I use the fortified compound, yes I have a huntsman and festive huntsman. Yes they are all professional killstreak and all named Hoes Mad, what of it?
this video has the EXACT feel of og soundsmith. if you were to continue the stereotype series in secret there's a moderate chance no one would notice
As some who actually did get the Black Rose legitimately, A.V.A. was pretty ass. If I still played TF2 I would absolutely still use it and the Poker Night ones for the sake of flexing.
For the bootlegger, I notice I see it a lot more on meme loadouts (like demopan and caberknight) way more often than the wee booties.
I'll say it I'm a proud Iron Curtain user and its honestly because I really like the way it sounds and how it looks.
I AM A SCOTTISH HANDSHAKE USER. BOOTLEGGER + TARGE + HANDSHAKE WITH FULL CORONA COSMETIC SET + TAUNTS. I may be an alcoholic
weapon reskins in tf2 have always seemed like a strange case to me
Damn two nostalgic tf2 youtubers reference at once?, That's crazy
You can still get the Poker night reskin both 1 and 2. You can buy a code for that game redeem it and win the item you use it. That’s what I did.
yea but codes are over $100, also my ass does not know how to play poker
@@dipmydots I got poker night 2 on Amazon for 5$ and poker night on a website for 20$.
I use the Max hat and Lugermorph because...I just like sam and max
Skullcutter can just be a montage of "rare" high moments
the scottsmans skull cutter is not a reskin
he literally sounds like great blue
I am a proud owner of a legitimate black rose
this is just a perfect video, nostalgia, that damn music, and the disclaimer, its awesome
This video was really good. How you dont even have 50 subs?!!
mfw the funny expensive laser gun (capper) wasn't included: :(
(totally not biased cause i have a strange one)
yea i completely forgot about the capper im not gonna lie, dont know how it slipped by me
I used to go full pirate demoman loadout and micspam alestorm songs while trimping. Good times
WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING LORD IS THAT VIEWMODEL FOV
This was so convincing I thought soundsmith rebranded
If soundsmith entered a soundsmith wannabe contest he would finish second to this
3:22 that listing is for festiveised
and? it adds like a dollar worth of value, a non festiveized cost about the same
4:20 tide turner + persian persuadion + the boots
I had a black rose
I turned it into scrap metal and now everyone flexes on me
I clicked on this video though “wow soundsmith sounded so different” then I realized this wasn’t sound smith.
Bootlegger + Dangeresque = *STOUT SHAKO FOR 2 REFINED*
7:52 Spy: *flies in A pose*
NO GOD NO I CANT ESCAPE WEAPON RESKINS
Weapon Reskins in TF2 have always seemed like a strange case to me. On one hand if you like how a weapon works but hate how it looks it's nice to have another option to choose from. But on the other hand, reskins usually look like they would function differently from their counterpart. And I've always thought it would be neat if cool looking weapons like the maul had more of an identity than "Its the Homewrecker but for rich people" So I took a large number of weapon reskins currently available in the game and gave them their own set of stats ranging from "Slightly modified sidegrade to the original" to "Completely new weapon idea that's not balanced at all but a ton of fun."
@@dipmydots NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
this peaks... I think strange reskins have always been a weapon case to me
This is a funny SoundSmith video
I use Nessie's because its model takes up the least screen space out of his sword options.
I use the Bootlegger with the Zombie cosmetic, since that gives Demo 2 feet instead of a wooden leg.
I don’t know if that’s a stereotype, but hey, it’s something.
Me who has a blank conscientious objector: B)
How the hell did you even made this sound exactly like an old soundsmith video
Tf2 video reskins have always been a strange case to me
soundsmith? whos that? i like this new audioforger guy
You started a massive chaos of stereotypes 💀
f2p can't actually use the horsemann's blade since the crafting recipe is premium only
IDK guys, I still think that weapon reskins in TF2 feels like a strange case to me
You should do festive weapons stereotypes
My prinny machete’s name is “face stab hitbox +25”
I’m the 1 guy who has a unused robo sandvich code and I still have it in a protector with my other tf2 merch
if you hate how it.... (pregnant, ominous pause) ... looks
I can backup the Iron Curtain, I have a gambling addiction.
It's ok guys, it's not copying, this TH-camr is a ginger too so they are basically the same people,
Specifically, the Three Rune Blade is a Witcher sword, making it even cooler
The original is the only reason i main soldier, its just so satisfying to use
13:28 flashbacks to the guy that had literal cp on his CO
I am a proud owner of a black rose. What's more, I remember getting it the legit way. I didn't use a community server. I downloaded the required game years ago and got the achievement needed before the game servers got shut down. Funny considering I don't even main spy.
If I had to take a guess as to why the necrosmasher is the only unlock you some people have, there's a good chance they started playing during and because of the Halloween event, so that could be one of the first unlocks they got.
i love it when people put effort into a shit posts makes it 10 times funnier lmao
Bro's playing tf2 like it's a 3rd person shooter goddamn
When you first said only bad pybros use the Maul I was worried you were gonna say by going off and abandoning the engie, good to see some people understand how pyros actually help engies
Great video in general, both in continuing the stereotypes and in execution
