Melee is a type of weapon and the short-range combat system in Team Fortress 2. All melee attacks use hitscan, but have a 0.2 second delay between pressing the primary fire button (default key: MOUSE1) and dealing damage. The only exception to this are the melee weapons for the Spy, which damage immediately upon pressing the primary fire button. Standard melee attacks use the bounding box of the player, the same hitbox used to determine collision with other players, world, and projectiles. The bounding box is a large rectangle around the player, this box does not rotate with the player. Melee swings hit teammates before enemies or buildings, except for the Engineer's melee weapons, which ignore teammates when trying to hit a friendly building. This prevents teammates from blocking him while trying to repair or upgrade a building.
Melee weapons are always available (except for the Spy-cicle) and do not consume ammo upon use. All stock melee weapons (except for the Spy's and Scout's melee weapons) function identically, dealing 65 damage and swinging in 0.8 second intervals. The Scout's Bat deals less damage (35 damage) and swings faster (0.5 second attack interval). The Spy's Knife has the same attack interval as the other stock melees, but deals only 40 damage. In addition to the basic function of dealing damage, the Wrench wielded by the Engineer and the Knife have additional abilities; upgrading, increasing construction speed, and repairing buildings and backstabbing enemy players respectively.
Some unlockable melee weapons have extra utility on top of, or instead of, their damage-dealing capabilities. For example, the Back Scratcher increase healing from health kits while reducing the healing from Medi Guns and Dispensers, or the Wrap Assassin trading direct damnage for the ability to launch a bauble that inflicts bleed.
