The Golden Wrench is a distributed melee weapon for the Engineer. It is similar to a regular Wrench, but the majority of it is made out of Australium.[1]
This weapon functions identically to the Wrench, but with an added cosmetic function: any enemies killed with it produce motionless statues of pure Australium, instead of the normal ragdolls. Any jiggle bones on enemy ragdolls are also frozen by this effect. In addition, a special sound effect unique to this weapon, the Saxxy, and the Golden Frying Pan is played upon killing any enemy.
Upon killing an enemy, unique voice lines play.
This weapon was a promotional feature of the Engineer Update. Players were informed that every time a player crafted an item, there was a chance of a Golden Wrench dropping. Only 100 Golden Wrenches were available to drop. After each 25 Golden Wrench milestone, a new section of the Engineer Update was released. The smelting of reclaimed metal and refined metal was suspended during this time to prevent exploiting the crafting system to increase the chances of getting a Golden Wrench. The Golden Wrench drops were on a timer, spaced out in such a way that every time zone had an equal chance of crafting one. The first person to craft something after one of these designated drop times were guaranteed to craft a Golden Wrench.
