(Researched a little more into the damage scaling with afterburn and found out it only scales with duration, not damage per afterburn tick. Edited to add that information, aswell as a mention to igniting secondaries guaranteeing high damage swings.)

“
This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.
— Axtinguisher publicity blurb
 ”

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a crudely constructed fire axe consisting of a slightly rusted axe-head, stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and a splintered end.

Compared to the stock Fire Axe, the Axtinguisher deals 33% less damage, holsters 35% slower, and does not deal random critical hits. Attacking targets that are on fire guarantees mini-crit damage, along with an increase in base damage depending on the remaining duration of the afterburn, while extinguishing the target. This base damage increase is equal to the damage the target would have taken from afterburn, ignoring damage penalties to it from weapons like the Degreaser. As such, the Axtinguisher deals less damage against a target ignited by the Dragon's Fury, compared to one ignited by other flamethrowers, while dealing high damage against targets ignited by the Flare Gun, Scorch Shot, Detonator and Gas Passer due to their long afterburn durations. Killing a burning target with the Axtinguisher grants a 35% movement speed boost for 4 seconds.

The Axtinguisher is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Pyro achievements.
