Boolets are 200 dowlar custom-tooled. $400,000 to fire for 12 seconds at 10,000 rounds per meenut.

I won on my very first playthrough, no replays, no prior plays, finished with 50k to spare.

...Full disclosure, I /am/ an accountant though. I think it actually helps you in the game. :)

Each 1 ammo for the minigun actually counts as 4 bullets

Are we sure that's Recette? Are we sure that isn't that one annoying purple haired girl who tries to sell you stuff like a goldfish bowl for 520%? Or maybe the spy? Or maybe that chick IS the spy?!

Recette, you sneaky little... ho.
Still, that's like 8 bucks per bullet. What kind of rounds is he using, Bolt shells?

@ kommo1

As the baby player starts getting more and more experienced in her roll and the game of TF2 in general, she starts to become more mature.

She capped an intell for her team, that gave her a growth spirt. She gets a domination and captures the last point on dustbowl, Teen Medic-chan

@Ze Spy:

Scrooge McDuck passed away in 1967. Echoing McDuck however, Resette had to outsmart the sharpest of sharpies and be tougher than the toughies to get to where she is by endgame... her being triumphant against a prince of darkness in the name of profit (which you can't trust) is enough.

I am disappointed by this depiction of Scrooge McDuck. The top hat and the redingote are here but where is the duck?

That person in the top hat looks a lot like Carl Clover from BB.

Just pause at the beginnning if you don't want to watch it. one on the left.

Did you get the sprite from him? I swear he has a sprite almost exactly like that, but couldn't find it.

Damn I love that game... just when the the little girl buyes the PIRATE HAT saying "this is a present for momy".

maybe i'll try to finish it without loops too, i had been done to restart 3 times...

jimfromtx
over 13 years ago
Oh, and at the $200 rate, it would cost $666,660 dollars to fire it until it completely empties. No idea how you get the extra $60, that's like a third of a bullet o_O
jimfromtx
over 13 years ago
Hmm, I think it's 833 and change per boolet if you go by the in-game play, though the heavy states that the gun fires 10k rounds a minute, at $200 each. Either way, yeah, that's some expensive ammo!

Ironically, the game's actually much easier if you ignore profit margins and make all non-red transactions at 104/70% to level up yourself and your customers as fast as possible.

TheVampirate
over 13 years ago
when you beat the game without loops you get nothing and if you do new game+ to get the rest of the True cards it counts as looping. T_T it took like 10 attempts to get a no loop win but then you have to give it up to get all items.
Slippy
over 13 years ago
A neat trick, if you get a Vending Machine A.S.A.P. you can place blue items in them and they will still sell at 100% cost (which you can't do if you haggle)
Bob

Uuuuuuuuggggh I still need to actually play this game.
Vulpis
over 13 years ago
I'm guessing that the achievement is based around the $200 bullet cost...but the actual in-game firing rate, which is most *definitely* less than 10k/sec....

$200 cartridges at 10000 rounds per minute
For 12 seconds... First, let's find out how many rounds are fired in 12 seconds...
10000 x 12 / 60 = 2000 rounds
2000 x $200 per bullet = $400,000 dollars to fire this weapon for 12 seconds.

@M Demoman made 5 million last year. Since he makes his explosives, that probably doesn't count the costs of production. Heavy is well compensated for his production costs.

Also, my cutthroat tactics apply to buying too.

"My pensions! Please! Buy my goods!"
"Sure. Here, 25% of base price."

I hope they make an expansion/sequel where we can buy land and build houses JUST so I can foreclose on people when they don't pay.

100% of 6660 is 6660

According to TF2 Wiki

Minigun fires 40 boolets per second.
So it fires 480 bullets per 12 seconds
It cost $400,000, so 400,000/480 = $833.33 per each boolet.

[url=#user_comment_43330]@EMP[/url]: You are doing your math wrong, but I think Jo is too. :P 100% of 666 is still 666, and 1000% would be 6660. 6,660,000 would be more like 1,000,000% of base price.

1000% of 666 is 6660 (10x100%). Quite a few extra zeros.
