I would say that the only "direct upgrades" are the Spycicle for Spy, the Sandvich for Heavy, and Crusader's Crossbow+Ubersaw for Medic Generally better than stock: Scout: -Primary: None -Secondary: Winger or Flying Guillotine -Melee: Atomizer or Boston Basher Soldier: for Soldier Melee -Primary: Cow Mangler 5000, The Direct Hit -Secondary: None. *Maybe* Buff Banners if you're consistent. -Melee: Equalizer or Market Garden Pyro: -Primary: Phlogistinator (hub only, no airblast hurts in comp) -Secondary: Scorch Shot or Flare Gun -Melee: Back Scratcher and Pyrojack Demoman: -Primary: Loch-and-Load (iffy, stock is fine) -Secondary: None -Melee: Eyelander, Scottsman Skullcutter Heavy: -Primary: Natascha and Tomislav -Secondary: Sandvich and Second Banana (free via contract) -Melee: Gloves of Running Urgently, Fists of Steel, Killing Gloves of Boxing Engineer: -Primary: Frontier Justice, Rescue Ranger -Secondary: Wrangler -Melee: All of his melee options are pretty good. The Gunslinger is your best bet for an "upgrade" depending on your playstyle. Sniper: Primary: Sydney Sleeper, The Machina, The Huntsman Secondary: Jarate, Razorback Melee: Bushwacka (with Jarate only), Tribalman's Shiv Medic: Primary: Crusader's Crossbow. Straight upgrade. Secondary: Quick-Fix, but stock is still arguably the best. Melee: The Ubersaw. Straight upgrade. Spy: Melee: Spycicle. Free escape from his worst matchup. Secondary: Ambassador if you're good at headshots, L'etranger, Diamondback if you're good at spy stuff. Stock revolver is still great. Watch: All 3 are good. Dead ringer is good for a change of pace. This list isn't necessarily a "use this over stock," but more of a "these weapons will cover all playstyles." The only exceptions are Spycicle>Knife almost always, Sandvich>Shotgun because on-demand healing is way better than shotgun, Crusader's Crossbow is far more useful than syringe gun, Ubersaw's benefit far outweighs the downside.
