Star Streak

"Based off a high-velocity anti-air missle, this weapon shoots 3 rockets that drill into thier target and detonate after half a second. An integrated autoloader allows it to reloaad in your pocket for some reason." In-game description

The Star Streak is a slot 2 weapon for Demoman that shoots 3 rockets spread out, which drill into their target and explode after half a second. Treat it as an explosive shotgun that reloads automatically.

The weapon's name and function is mainly inspired by the Starstreak High-Velocity Missile (HVM). Although the weapon itself seems to be an oddly shaped gun that has been colored multiple shades of gray.

Tactics

 * Although the Star Streak has a bit of inaccuracy, sometimes its rockets can hit targets you want to hit from long range, such as tanks.


 * Its better to aim towards an enemy's center of mass, or in other words the torso, as the rockets drill into them, which could deal bonus damage.
 * 3 rockets that drill into a Scout, regardless of a headshot, is enough to immediately kill them.


 * You can use this weapon to destroy objects thanks to the fact that it has more explosive power than the heavy bolter and most slot 1 weapons.


 * As the Star Streak can reload itself even while unequipped, you can take advantage of this to use a quickswap playstyle where you swap between weapons while being able to utilize all of them effectively.

Trivia
When shooting the Star Streak on the water, you can see the spikes that supposedly drill into their target before it explodes, as the rockets latch onto the water's surface instead of whatever is under it.
