TF2 Weapon Discussion: The Disciplinary Action

Welcome to our Wednesday TF2 weapon discussion. Here, we'll discuss weapons (and reskins, if applicable) from TF2!

Today's weapon is The Disciplinary Action.

On Hit Teammate: Boosts both players' speed for several seconds
-25% damage penalty

The Disciplinary Action is an unlockable melee weapon for soldier that gives you a whip. This is soldier's best support melee and overall one of his better options in the slot. It's top 3 for sure.

The way this weapon works is when you whip a teammate they move faster and you also move faster with the boost % varying from class to class:

• Scout - 26.3% increase
• Soldier - 40% increase
• Pyro - 35% increase
• Demoman - 37.5% increase
• Heavy - 40% increase
• Engineer - 35% increase
• Medic - 32.8% increase
• Sniper - 35% increase (40% if scoped in but you move slower when scoped anyway)
• Spy - 32.8% increase

With these boosted values a boosted pyro will move faster than a non-boosted scout.

This weapon also has an increased range of 70% making it the longest melee in the game (the swords are all 50%) but this weapon does deal 25% less damage meaning you'll deal 49 damage on a regular hit.

An overall excellent weapon for all soldier players to use to make their team like them more.
