End of an Era. (Weed Killer Watertank Backpack)

Alas.
I have pissed a lot of people, enough so that a PR has enshittified watertank backpack. (They hate fun.)
It took 214 days. 30 weeks. 7 months.
To remove the item-identity of the Weed Killer man.
May he rest in pieces upon the welding fuel pool.

An era of controversy over the concept of Weed Killer. It spanned for 7 months.
Pushed BYOND it’s limits due to a single player. They pissed everyone off. And he was in for it.

It was a great time being the pioneering identity for weed killer users and the concept/idea of it self.
Welcome the budget/diet pyro users.
And goodbye.

It’s called “Diet Pyro” now, where you use the gas flamer to make about 100 flame tiles on the front.

True… it’s no weed-killer anymore, it’s just budget pyro.
Gas trades 90% of user-control for 100% area-denial. Since you can’t remove smoke without using grenades at all.
Weed-Killer specifically kills weeds. nods
The pro of the weed killer is that it doesn’t block pushes using a sprayer, which unironically worked for hell-pushes. (not smoke of course)

If you can somehow coordinate every single marine to wear a gas mask the smoke is fine… make it happen…

frankly the PR is a buff not a nerf to welding fuel strat. Sure it killed watertank but now every private a pyro.

The squad that has the pyro spec should redirect everyone who has a flamer to the pyro’re fireteam… might be peak player event.
