| “ | Good Scouts drink Bonk. And good ones beat the crap out of every single chucklehead in their way! But this bat is the harder thing to bonk with.
— Atomizer publicity blurb

The Atomizer is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a slightly worn aluminum baseball bat, fitted with a black ribbed grip and team-colored stripes and bands; a Bonk! logo is emblazoned on the "barrel".
The Atomizer grants the wielder the ability to triple jump while the weapon is fully deployed. However, the Atomizer deploys 50% slower than the default Bat. As a triple jump does not initiate in the middle of the weapon's deploy animation, the Scout must wait for the Atomizer to fully deploy to take advantage of the triple jump. The deploy penalty leaves the Scout without long range damage options for longer, making him more vulnerable to enemy attack.
Upon a successful triple jump, a cloud of purple smoke trails behind the Scout, as opposed to the normal white cloud. Also, while airborne, attacks with this weapon deal mini-crits, making the Scout dangerous to approach while mid-air. As a downside, the Atomizer deals 15% less damage to players. Scouts can exploit the Atomizer's triple jump to become more mobile and reach previously inaccessible areas
Taunting with the Atomizer equipped results in the Grand Slam kill taunt.
