What is a "Caber Jumper"?

-A Caber Jumper is a demoman based sub-class, it consists of launching yourself in the air with the Sticky Jumper (usually two bombs) to reach a considerably high altitude, before doing so you must equip your Ullapool Caber so that you don't have to wait for it to be equipped while on the air, as it has a long equip time, after doing so, you must aim and land into a player (while crouched) and hit them with the caber at the same time you land on them, this will take down most of the time light classes like Scout, Sniper, Engineer and Spy, however when the victim survives, you must go into the Plan B, use your available grenade launcher to take down the target or the surrounding enemies, if you run out of ammo, it is recommended to launch yourself again into a safe zone using the sticky jumper, as fighting with your meele or waiting while reloading is dangerous, after doing so, it's recommended to resupply your caber and grenade launcher into your base, and repeat the same process with easy targets like unaware enemies, Snipers, Heavies, etc.

Loadout

-To become a Caber Jumper, you must have the Sticky Jumper, any grenade launcher (stock recommended) and the main weapon: The Ullapool Caber.
-You don't need to wear any hats, this is optional, as demoman is an expert on bombs, he sure knows what he's doing.

Habitat

-Caber Jumpers are mainstream on close-space maps, highly diverse on 2fort, they are unpredictable and can land surprise attacks into unaware enemies, snipers, heavies, etc, this map makes them a feasty prey for the Caber Jumpers, as they are low mobility targets.

-Despite being commonly seen in 2fort, these species are extremely rare to encounter on such variety of maps within team fortress, as they require high precision, stealth, and intelligence to kill their natural preys, since wide-open maps are difficult for them to achieve a kill. One of the reasons why are they endangered is that they have a low quality of life, their main instinct is to hunt unprotected enemies, and most of the time doing so, it ends in the death of their own species.

Related species

Caber-knight

Unlike Caber Jumpers, caber-knights are species that actively hunt any prey that goes in their path, such being Heavies, Scouts, Medics, Soldiers, Pyros and even their own kind, beacuse they require to kill anyone in order to survive, they are dangerous species, as they use Shields to charge against their targets, explode themselves and cause major damage if any surrounding enemy is near.

They are often equipped with Grenade launchers beacuse their main weapon (Ullapool Caber) are ineffective after a single use, if their victim survives or there are surrounding enemies, they might proceed to use their grenade launcher, this makes them a menace to any enemy nearby, as they use a very-destructive weapon in orden to clean a battlefield.

Despite being effective, their weapon makes them a highly death-or-life situation, as their blast explosion can damage themselves, this makes them endangered, but not in the same level as Caber Jumpers.

Conclusion
