Have you ever looked at a weapon and wondered "How am I even supposed to use this piece of shit?" Don't worry. I'm here now.

It's the season of giving, but why give when you can take the life forces of your enemies?

The Paradoxical Straight Upgrade. If you never get hit, you never suffer the downside but if you never get hit you never benefit from the upside.

This weapon helped me learn how to better dodge direct hits and explosive splash damage. It is a must use for anyone wanting to improve at playing scout. Sometimes, intentionally nerfing yourself is very important to improve at something.

6:27 "i think only the liberty launcher and the air strike won't be able to one shot you. Even at max ramp up."
Hold it right there, buster!
You forgot about the Rocket Jumper.

I absolutely love the idea of Scout hitting a bottle of pills at someone like a baseball. That's absolutely something he'd do

Seeing the TF2 weapon that resulted in me being called "Candy" online for many years now in an episode of bad weapon academy is both amazing and painful.

At this point, you're gonna have to buy a Collector's Scorch Shot kit with all the donators.

I find the concept of the Candy Cane for Sniper really funny like "Oh you just dropped our Medic but at least I'll still get some of my health back so thanks."

@The5lacker 4 years ago

The "Cheer" meter is hilarious. I love it. If nothing else, I'd like that to be implemented in some fashion.

0:58 this clip perfectly sums up the stats of the candy cane

@StickMaster500 4 years ago

Who knew that all that sugar in that candy cane could also be the Scout’s demise?

I really hoped the beginning montage would end with scout getting one shot by a pipe

Honestly, up until today, I thought this weapon gave you small health kits when you killed enemies with the candy cane. The fact that they also drop from enemies if killed by you with any other weapon makes it so much better.

I thought this thing was basically pointless. And now I know that it's... Uh... Kind of ok I guess?
Still a huge improvement.

I feel like this weapon was designed to be a "short range scout tool". for the player that orbitates around the point but doesn't just stick on it
also, pyros

as you pointed out, it combos very good with multiple weapons, and even more with teamates weaponry

3:15 Bro demonstrated the upside and downside of the weapon with a single clip and thought we wouldn't notice.

6:03 the funny thing here is that he would've gotten one shotted anyways, considering that that was a max damage ramp-up direct hit

What an epical weapon: not overpowered, not underpowered, just a somewhat niche yet still occasionally useful weapon. I might use it more (if I get back into TF2), thanks for really showing how it isn't just "Direct Downgrade: The Weapon" that I thought it was for the longest while. (Also, legit did not know that the health kit on kill was passive, I honestly thought you had to have used Candy Cane at least once before kill.)

The clip at 3:15 couldve been the entire video. Absolutely incredible stuff

10:49 "The WINGer allows you to take advantage of this on the FLY"

I like Balance Mod's take on the Candy Cane: they removed the explosive damage penalty and instead you receive less healing from medics and dispensers. Basically the Back Scratcher penalty.
