Meet the Dumpster Diver [Saxxy 2012] 

10 years ago today we were blessed with this classic piece of cinema. Never got over how hard Valve nerfed the BB.

*When a tryhard joins a casual.*

Then after Soilder took the intelligence, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, then he hurdled them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one.

Seriously, a soldier who knows how Beggar’s Bazooka is capable can be THIS devastating...

I love when I find a multi-shot rocket launcher in my local trash can.

The original “one class destroys entire team on 2fort.”

2:01 *what a battle medic feels like*

2:12 Demo’s delayed “OI” made me laugh

*Gets his skull split in half with a market gardener* "Ooohh!"

A garbage can with weapons: **Exists** Soldier: **It's free real estate.**

I always love how the beat kicks in at 1:49, it's just so powerful

1:41 Medic's mind: In my medical opinion, that Soldier looks ridiculous.

I like how soldier made grenades for no fucking reason.

Spy: wants a melee dual Soldier: throws his shovel and instantly kills spy *Outstanding move*

Soldier: dumpster diver Me:diving at the trash can

Thank you Rick May for supporting our every needs of being our soldier!

When you’re a F2P but have many hours of TF2 experience

If this was realistic to damage, he would have about 16 health left

2020 anyone? R.I.P Rick May/soldier

8 years later and I still think this soldier is the most badass

If that syringe that Medic shot in Soldier's face was a crit, something tells me this video would have ended differently.

4 years later this video is still fun to watch

2:18 it’s sad to think tahts there both were friends until war broke out

1:05 vibe check 2012 confirmed

And the Beggar's Bazooka came into existence

I remember seeing this animation so many years ago as a kid, I loved it, and I've been trying to find it ever since, and now that I found it, I'm happier then ever

3:45 sniper in depression 🙂

they should bring saxxy awards back

One man's trash is another man's lethal weapon.

3:36 when you get killed whit an unusual weapon

Even though it was made 8 years ago, it's still a good animation. The Soldier chose to build a new one in the trash instead of picking up the rocket launcher that fell out of the window.

1:35 me encantan las expresiones de Scout

The animation of the demo drawing his sword was absolutely amazing. The whole video looked so professional like an actual Valve SFM. Outstanding work!

Hobo solider was then banned for: being immune to head shots, disabling other teams weapons, all crits, destruction of property.

3:22 lokks like a particular meme

Pyro: *Dies in fire * Everyone: Oh, how ironic!

4:00 solider was then vac-banned for being invincible to headshots and all those other times where he fired all 3 rockets without charging

Love how 4 years later this is still highly up to par with now'a'days animations. You're a legend, Populus. You've always been among the top (maybe even *the* top) SFM animators out there

This brings me back.

Rip Rick May. 2020 anyone?

The soldier then went home. The next day finding out he had a raging case of hepatitis A-Z. The medic had his revenge.

2:00 Battle Medics be like

Damn. I'm glad to see such a gem doing the rounds again. TF2 never dies!

4:51 Cool guys dont look at explosions

Full story: After being defeated by Merasmus, BLU Soldier returns to his base. Finding a trash can full of supplies, he crafts his arsenal back together. When he enters though, he discovers his team is overrun by REDs. Seeking revenge, the BLU Soldier fights back and steals the enemy's Intel, along with killing the entire RED team and literally demolishing the RED team's base.

If only the Beggar's Bazooka was so powerful...

This is by far the coolest SFM I've watched for the past year and even to this day

Its been 8 years since i first saw this video and i still comeback sometimes

A true classic, and well-deserving of the Saxxy reward it ended up getting.

Soldier has been banned for: destruction of map and accused of cheating

Still a masterpiece even after 2012.

Very unique idea and was worked very hard on. Well done!

Who Finds Grenades, A Shotgun And A Bazooka In A Trash Can

2:36 one may say, soldier gave 'em the beans

Can't believe that this is nearly 10 years old now and it still looks amazing!

so good i cant stop rewatchin it

The Dumpster Driver When equipped: +Upon looking at your enemy, they are forced to laugh for 9000000001 seconds +Gain a new shotgun that can headshot medics +Immune to needles + Your cocktails are now grenades, it can also disable Pyro's airblast for 3 seconds before killing them +A new radio that can attract engineers, disabling their weapons in the process +All spies will be automatically killed with a flying guillotine +Immune to headshots +Able to destory the whole map with 3 rockets +Sniper's hand are now obtainable +1000% damage againist magic -100% chance of entering mansions -No Random Critical Hits Fair and Balanced

I like the idea of soldier, despite being a moron 99% of the time, having some sort of talent when it comes to weapons manufactoring. Him making several funcioning weapons out of garbage is a testament to that. Also, the comic "grave matters" shows that he CAN in fact read.

I am currently rewatching old SFM master pieces again. And this one of them.

I know I'm half a year late, but Happy 10th Anniversary to this beautiful film about an item set (or at least *part* of the set... thanks, Valve) and a badass homeless Soldier.

3:27 Modern Spy tactics in a nutshell.

don't pick a fight with a man with nothing else to loose

Eight years later and this is still epic

Rest in peace buddy. Love the video, always have.

Thanks to this fella now the game has the best bazooka ever.

I remember this, this was the first sfm i watched and the video that introduced me to tf2. MrPopulus, I thank you.

This remains one of the best

Best sfm of 2012 I love this video so much

3:39 NEW ITEM FOUND!

2:40 SOUP CAN

I'm never going to stop enjoying this one.

11 years later this is still golden

1:46 *dies* *screams while dead*

Beggars Bazooka: -Fires 3 rockets at once Overloading will cause misfire No random critical hits Survivalist's slugger (I posted in the workshop intead "Headblower"): -Decapitation on headshot -12% damage penalty -10% smaller clip Makeshift Grenades: -Cannot be reflected No random critical hits Mister Distract-ternator: Small range Sapper/Stunner Stuns Engineers only Only disables a sentry The French Croiss-hovel Similar to flying gullotine -Slower recharge rate Mouse1 to Hit people Mouse2 to throw it That's my own weapons and stats lol

8 years later, and I love it

"Fear the Unusual and Desperate" - Someone, probably.

it wood have been funnier if the soldier got auto balanced.........like it always happens when you do something epic

Me Before Video: Oh, this looks cool Me After: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME This Person Deserves More Subs

It’s been 11 years since this masterpiece was released, and it’s still amazing.

It's good to see this old animation from like 10 or 9 years go even the older ones

The Solider was then Vac Banned

1:50 me running to my friends house after he said he has cheesy bacon

And the moral of this story is: even scrap and garbage has its use.

I remeber watching this as a kid, this is the video that got me into tf2! Its also the video that made me decide Blu team is my favorite lol

BLU team wins. "Aw man, what as scrub" "Noob" "Lol, beggars bazooka." " GG guys!" "More like BG!" "Hahahahaha, that's not funny." "Sorry I was getting pizza, what happened?"

0:45 is probably the best sneeze to ever hit our universe

ten year anniversary, my gosh. i feel ancient.

11 years, this is still a masterpiece

when im discovered and I challenge the team: this is exactly what happens XD 3:30

2:16 pipeJesus.mp4

It was fun being in this film man the props are top quality

I love the beggars so much man. Thx for making it.

Trash man the movie Featuring: Danny devito

2:11 That Demoman was drinking Jarate!!

Nostalgia Honestly when I was a kid I though this was an official valve short

RIP rick man we miss you

I got kicked out of my house, better build weapons and armour out of trash and go on a murderous rampage!

Let's just take a moment to respect that Red Medic, if he had a more powerful gun that Soldier would be dead.

One of the first videos that introduced me to TF2

still great after a few years
