Just got it and tryed it out.
I would like some opinions on how this weapon should be used in pcws.
Just some facts: You can’t jump with it , well – you can but you have to be looking right at the sticky to be able to blow it up , so you have to jump backwards.
When you shoot a sticky it takes longer to blow it up , i mean with the regular stickylauncher you could detonate the sticky almoast right away , but with the scottish resistance it takes twice as long.
The detonation itself isn’t that bad , you don’t need to be looking right at it and you can detonate them even if you’re pointing at them through a wall.

In overall this doesn’t look like an offensive weapon , my guess would be that this can be used when defending the last point , because you can cover all the exits with your 14 stickies ;) But then theres always the problem with when and if to switch which could be a pain in the ass.

Discuss.

/me waits for Byte’s SR frag vid. 8 minutes of double sticky trap galore. BOOM STICKIES.

I love you agron <3

Loooking at it, I’d say the stickies you plant should be visible through walls, nothing else of course, just the sticky, so you can actually detonate the damn thing when you move away from the area.

Detonation cone needs adjusting as well, you can end up blowing all your stickies if you’re close, and having to look directly at them at long range, it’s not intuitive enough atm

Oh, and they need to put a doubletap on mouse2 in, that detonates all stickies, then you can stickyjump with it (still, not as well as normal stickies due to .4 second arm time)

Of course this would make it a little “unbalanced” compared to the sticky launcher as well, so would probably want to reduce the damage per sticky very slightly.

At the moment, it’s only good for defence… but it’s a better defensive weapon than the sticky launcher in some ways, but the have-to-be-looking-at-stickies-to-detonate feature really removes some of its usefulness.

this weapon is more or less boring to play with. i know its not made for fighting but ( as said before) you always have to look at the stickes.

also, it’s that you practically cannot cover more that one entrance effecitvely, because (again) the “have to look at the stickes to blow them” thing comes into place and i guess you will often miss the opportunity to blow one trap because the “victim” already went back or passed them when you are just watching at the specific trap…

so they should add two things:

1. stickies in a certain radius around yourself can be blown without “eye contact”
2. when you are NOT watching at any certain trap, all stickies should be blown at once when pressing mouse2, as the normal launcher.

point 2 is reffering to the The Scottish Resistance note: able to blow groups of stickes or sth like that… but it doesnt say MUST blow groups ….

you can also hold chokes more effectively. it just takes a bit of practice and getting used to the inability to jump

the thing is that you can actually jump, but it is a pain in the ass. i guess if valve wanted to disable sticky jumping, they would have done something else. but as it looks like, they wanted to keep it and so they should improve it.

if there’s only 1 sticky out you can detonate it without looking at it

i’m a genius
