Can’t believe fez would say that to a fan… Anyways, sorry it took so long as always! G&B isn’t really a game you should play for hours everyday. (Also if I sound sick/dead in this video, it’s because I recorded the lines at like 1 AM. About halfway through editing I realized how dead I sound lol)
4:59: This is so true. Before the buff, I really didn't rate the Siege Engineer armour. But after the buff, I was more compelled to try it. And boy when I finally did, it was great. I could finally melee bombers and not die. And I think that alone is a good enough reason to buy it.
Zappers hate him! Watch as he face tank a whole 6 axes to the face! (on the flip side, or rather, how it shiuld’ve been) Teammates hate him! Watch as his living corspe takes 3 whole blunders to the face!
Nobody wanted a revamp for the pickaxe. It was already PERFECT It was the “I fucking hate zappers” weapon. Now you have to be wait 1.5 seconds more just to do any headshot damage to even kill a zappper.
Good news buddy, it got reverted back to it's original form and it's BUFFED since you can now hit 5 zombies and it may be 0.5 millisecond slower to swing but hey it's better now and it's great to use in hardcore and way more effective at endless too
WE ARE MINING DIAMONDS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🔥🤑 In all seriousness pickaxe is really good if you want to have a faster swingrate but i still prefer axe in my opinion ill probably use pickaxe in hardcore.
they did the pickaxe dirty... like bro 3 biggest nerf and the only thing we got is a mid ability? Like damn I haven't seen a single guy uses the pickaxe after the new update came out Edit : September 13, 2024, the pickaxe is now reverted to it's original form and it's way more better and more effective than the v11 and v12.0
Pickaxe users in PvP: teehee. The infantry forced to melee: HE-HE HELL NAWH! (Bayonet hitbox poopoo in PvP btw so you’ll most likely miss more than a Sabre in that matchup)
sapper main here! you didn't give the pick enough credit! first of all i never had to go for a headshot to one-shot a Zapper, infact it's a perfectly viable and very useful tactic to wind up you pick,, run straight at a zapper, and one-tap it because it's swing is too slow. (of course this is not counting hardcore which does require headshots) for my second point while the axe *technically* has better crowd control there's never been a horde i could deal with using an axe that the pick wasn't just as or better then the axe due to it's faster swing rate. and of course, shove good :) tl;dr: as a sapper main, pickaxe is better than axe even at the axe's own game. edit: and obligatory Minecraft meme: bomber? aww, man! So we back in the catacombs! Got our pickaxe swinging from side to side! Side-side to side! This task, a grueling one, Hope to find some Francs tonight, night, night... Francs tonight... Heads up!

Just when you think you're safe Overhear some hissing from right behind... Right-right behind... That's a nice life you have, Shame it's gotta end at this time, time, time... Time-time-time-time... Blows up! Then your health bar drops and you could use a one-up! Get to the surgeon, don't be tardy! So, now you're stuck in there! one health is left, but don't die, die, die... Die-die-die...

I am a sapper main too. I bought the pickaxe already, what I do is shoving em before attacking. It's good when they are stunned and you have the chance to kill them
Thing is, you’d want to use the Pickaxe outside the frontline and clear out a horde of those man eating freaks. Like in the other side of Hougomont, outside of La Ferme D’En Haunt, Vardohus Fortress, etc usually in endless maps. But if you’re fighting behind the barricades as a sapper, use the goddamn axe for the penetration!
You might not be a sapper main, but you have formed a good opinion. As a sapper main, I agree with your points. The pickaxe is equal, if not better than the axe. However, I use the axe in casual servers because I frequently find myself defending from hordes of zombies by myself while the rest of the team sits back. The pickaxe is a must have on Berezina and Catacombes though. The zombies are more widely spread out, letting your faster swing speed take them out easier. You can also defend against multiple runners if you find yourself far from the rest of the team, something that the axe's low swing rate can't do.
absolutely agree on Berezina, not sure with the Catacombes. Sure, high swing speed is better when progressing through catacombs but during holdouts I would argue that axe is better due to the zombies not respecting proper distancing.
Overall this update has made Guts & Blackpowders balance feel really good, the alternatives we have as weapons feel like great sidegrades! I just want to say thank you for your informative videos on them.
I just wanted to tell you that I watched this video and the nock gun one in vc with some friends and one of them said your editing style reminded them a lot of uncle dane (the tf2 guy). I hope that comes off as a compliment cuz it is (amazing vid btw)
This review is honestly really good. I have a horrible bias for this weapon until I tried it, and I still hate it, I don't know if it's just muscle memory but I just play so much worse with it in general and feel like I impact less. I'll see if my opinion changes after I play with your advice though
grr the pickaxe is not good!!! it doesn't do anything the axe can't already, multiple runners are easy to kill with the axe by just...dodging... the slower swing speed is beneficial for hitting more zombies at the same time and gives you a very nice chance if you didn't time your swing right axe already one shots zappers even in hardcore
As a personal sap main i like to cc with my axe, or maybe i have a bias because i sank like 40 hours or something playing the sapper like so . Or because im a support sap , tbh maybe because i just love cc and i love cleanly hearing the sound of 6 zombies being butchered in one swing
