You all most likely know about the demoman’s new unlocks and the new comic, but for discussion’s sake I’m posting this.
It seems as if the targe will only be useful when coupled with the sword, as I don’t think demomen find charging and bottling someone over the face an effective tactic. The sword could be used just as an alternate melee weapon if you don’t mind the hp decrease, as after getting a few kills you’d become rather powerful.
Using both of them however totally seems to change the class role. You just become a sort of zealot with grenades.
Also, soldier unlocks nowhere to be seen.

Not very demo-like, but as a non Demo player, I have to say that I will be giving this new combo a shot.

Of course it’s not demo-like, that’s the whole purpose of the update.
The new unlocks always change the behavior of the class they are unlocked for, thats the purpose of the update.

As long as the Targe lets the user knock apart groups of enemies, it sounds pretty good.
So the next demo unlock is a primary weapon replacement that when coupled with the Targe lets you hold an enemy and bash them against the ground until you’re killed?

I hope that was sarcasm, Jeziah.

I forsee Demo-Jousting in the future.
This is going to be awesome.

Someone needs to make a sound mod using the famed Charger test call from L4D2. Fitting, no?
Also, new Soldier RAWKET LAWNCHAIR. 70% smaller blast radius (damn) but 80% faster rawkets (dayum) and 25% more damage plus mini-crits on airborne enemies (dayum!).
Want.
