Except the homewrecker can also kill sappers so that you can destroy a spy's efforts after you spy-check him to death.

perhaps the engineer update will yield sentries that arent as strong but primary weapon fire damage is reduced? im pretty confident that the pyros hammer is going to have somthing to do with the engy update, most likely a counter to somthing

When the team is grouped together, sometimes a Sniper's razorback can act for three+ people, who are standing behind more people.
Such as when pushing itty bitty bombcart

Actually a good spy is not going to decloak within hearing range of anyone they get a little distance decloak and run up behind you while disguised to get their kills stupid ones will decloak right behind you and try for a kill which 9 times out of 10 will fail if you are wearing a Razorback.

I was excited for the Homewrecker until I realized a little more then a third of my kills are Axtinguishes.

Jo, someone made that exact argument on the forums. It's true though. I guess the newer weapons still need some tweaking. And there'll be more on the way.

Yup, that pretty much sums the razorback up well. I mean jarate vs spy is great, smg vs spy is good to defend yourself but razor back vs ambassador is just stupid

I find the homewrecker works as a good Ammo-less building killer, which is great for me because I can't hit things enemies with either axe.

Razorback isn't that bad if you can no-scope fairly well. You don't really gain much from switching to SMG anyhow, and in maps where you aren't just camping some lonely spot, the razorback forces a more complicated strategy on the spy. Revolver is slower and louder than a backstab.

@NomNom-tyan: You and Spycrab are both taking what I said completely out of context. The Razorback wasn't made for people who don't/can't use their sound, it was made for lazy Snipers who don't bother to check over their shoulder. That's ALL I'm saying.
Ugh..

Maybe it's medic-tan's sister. I mean, sure she's of age, but she had to get that medical degree SOMEHOW, and I don't think the two mix timewise

The Homewrecker is actually pretty awesome if you happen to be a pyro who specializes in killing medics, snipers, and Engie outposts. Double damage to all buildings, it can actually take out a level 3 sentry in just a couple hits. Very fast and effective if you surprise the sentry!

[url=#user_comment_26029]@TheWinrar[/url]: No
A Sniper without Jarate at the frontline is not a priority target. The Sniper is not going to be able to snap-shot a Spy before the first stab is made, and then he is going to have to retreat as the enemies team pushes through. Huntsman is more dangerous as a rear guard.

I have a feeling that pyro melee weapon is meant to be preparation for the Engy update. Whatever's coming for the engies will evidently not be firing bullets at people but still need to be taken down quickly.

well you said something about snipers hearing spies uncloak behind them, and some people do have 'no sound' in their name, so i guess that means they have no sound

They're joke weapons. They're not intended to be useful for much of anything.
Surprisingly, the Pain Train is cool and sorta useful. It actually works well with the Gunboats.

TheWinrar

ACTUALLY, the Razorback has one use:
Being the rear guard of your team. If there's a Sniper at the back of a pack of players, and he's got the razorback, the Spy will feel less inclined to attempt a mass backstab, and will be unable to safely revolver the Sniper.

Guess they've got to make it even goddamn easier to kill the engie since he's probably going to get a wrench with +1% to melee damage soon.

Razorback is the most useless item in the game. You have ears for a reason; if you can't hear the spy uncloaking behind you, you shouldn't be playing sniper.

People, we have to remember this isn't the same Demo as the in-game one. This one didn't lose his eye until he joined the team.
