The key to using the Loose Cannon is to prime its cannonballs so that it explodes near enemies midair or to use cannonballs to knock enemies back with direct hits and hopefully off a cliff or right next to a launched cannonball. The need to score direct hits and prime your cannonballs means that it takes more focus to use properly. | The key to using the Loose Cannon is to prime its cannonballs so that it explodes near enemies midair or to use cannonballs to knock enemies back with direct hits and hopefully off a cliff or right next to a launched cannonball.

The Splendid Screen let's you shield bash during anytime in the charge and does more damage with a shield bash, but gives you less resistance to fire and explosives. The way the shield bash is programmed also lets you do a critical hit with your melee weapon right after a shield bash without going the required distance. The strategy for the Splendid Screen is not too different from the Chargin' Targe, so refer to that section for more information. | The Splendid Screen let's you shield bash during anytime in the charge and does more damage with a shield bash, but gives you less resistance to fire and explosives.

The Ullapool Caber is a handheld potato masher grenade. The first hit with the weapon causes it to explode, damaging you and the enemy as well as launching you into the air. Remaining | The Ullapool Caber is a handheld potato masher grenade. The first hit with the weapon causes it to explode, damaging you and the enemy as well as launching you into the air. Remaining hts with the weapon are much weaker. It cannot randomly crit. You can get a new one from a resupply closet. | ||
The Ullapool Caber deals a lot of damage to you, but one hit can kill most classes instantly. Pairing it with the Chargin' Targe will make it even more powerful, as the critical damage can kill anyone without being overhealed. If there are many enemies in one spot, you can simply charge in and strike one, taking out most of the rest in the explosion. However, it leaves you vulnerable to foes that survived, so it's a suicidal tactic. | The Ullapool Caber deals a lot of damage to you, but one hit can kill most classes instantly.

Like the set name suggests, this set is more suited for advanced players. The Loch-n-Load requires good aim with grenades while the Ullapool Caber is a high-risk-high-reward weapon. The fire resistance this set gives is useful for dealing with Pyros, which are frequently problematic classes when at close range. The set itself is good for clearing large amounts of enemies such as on chokepoints. The Loch-n-Load has a higher chance of success for hitting an enemy and the Ullapool easily clears out a group of enemies within it's blast radius. | Like the set name suggests, this set is more suited for advanced players.

This set focuses purely on melee combat, removing all of your ranged weapons, so don't get caught in a heavy gunfight. The Splendid Screen's shield bash in additional to the guaranteed critical from your Persuader can take down any unbuffed class bar the Heavy. Since you need to be close enough to the enemy to hit them, take them by surprise. Use the Persian Persuader's ammo-into-health conversion to restore lost health taken from stray gunfire. | This set focuses purely on melee combat, removing all of your ranged weapons, so don't get caught in a heavy gunfight.

Use a shield with this set to maximise the Bootlegger's usefulness.

Like the other Halloween sets, purely cosmetic. It gives you the Wolf Howl taunt.
