Unlike the [[Pistol]], the Flying Guillotine is a unique ranged weapon that is thrown in an arc as a [[projectile]], similarly to the [[Mad Milk]]. Primary and secondary fire flings the cleaver at enemies, dealing damage and inflicting [[Bleeding]] for up to 5 seconds, but it has no effect against buildings or after bouncing off a surface. The weapon cannot roll for random critical hits. Once the weapon is thrown, it will recharge after approximately six seconds. The recharge time can be sped up by 1.5 seconds if the player hits an enemy from a long range. Unlike the projectile of the [[Sandman]], it cannot be picked up from the ground to refill the meter. Like most projectiles, the cleaver can be reflected by an enemy [[Pyro]]'s [[Compression blast]].

The Flying Guillotine is a community-created promotional secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a meat cleaver with the Chinese characters for "dead meat" (死肉, sǐròu) above the grip.

Unlike the Pistol, the Flying Guillotine is a unique ranged weapon that is thrown in an arc as a projectile, similarly to the Mad Milk. Primary and secondary fire flings the cleaver at enemies, dealing damage and inflicting Bleeding for up to 5 seconds, but it has no effect against buildings or after bouncing off a surface. The weapon cannot roll for random critical hits. Once the weapon is thrown, it will recharge after approximately six seconds. The recharge time can be sped up by 1.5 seconds if the player hits an enemy from a long range. Unlike the projectile of the Sandman, it cannot be picked up from the ground to refill the meter. Like most projectiles, the cleaver can be reflected by an enemy Pyro's Compression blast.

The Flying Guillotine has a maximum range; upon traveling a long enough distance, it will act as if it has "landed" and will not deal damage to opponents that it may or may not have "hit".

The Flying Guillotine comes in two different styles, Thirsty and Thirstier. Thirsty is the default, pristine appearance of the weapon, while Thirstier adds bloodstains to the blade.

The Flying Guillotine was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 17, 2012.

The Flying Guillotine was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Bugs

  • Reflected Flying Guillotines do not deal mini-crits damage to enemies.
  • Victims killed and turned into ragdolls are sent flying at a strange angle sideways.
  • Holding down the Alt-Fire button while throwing the Flying Guillotine will stop the Scout's weapon from changing while the button is held. If the button is held down until the weapon has recharged, it will be thrown again, but no animation will be played for it. Additionally, other players will still see the Scout holding the Flying Guillotine while the button is held down.
  • If the Flying Guillotine has reached the max flight time, it will make a noise as if it hit a surface.

Trivia

  • The characters on one side of the blade (looking at the cleaver with handle on left, blade pointing downwards) are mirrored.
    • The pronunciation of the characters are phonetically similar to the English word "throw".
  • The flying guillotine is a legendary ranged weapon from the Qing dynasty that is usually in the form of a hat.
