Is it a radio? Yes! Is it "bad"? Yes! When you taunt while it's equipped, will it play music to terrorize your neighbors and scare suckas? Yes!
The TF2 Team

The Boston Boom-Bringer is a miscellaneous item for the Scout. It is a gray, orange, and team-colored Template:W that is strapped on top of the Scout's default messenger bag. A hidden attribute makes this item play music during any taunt the player performs, though this effect was noted on the official TF2 website.

There are four unique audio clips, each with a chance to play upon activation of a taunt (1, 2, 3 and 4).

The Boston Boom-Bringer was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "The B.E.A.T.".

Update history

Bugs

  • When starting a replay with this item equipped, all of the boombox sounds will play at once.

Trivia

  • The description is a reference to the 1985 Template:W song "Template:W".
  • Its name, "Boston Boom-Bringer", is a cross between the "boom" from "boombox" and the word "doombringer".
  • The initials on the sticker on the back of the boombox refer to the Template:W, a reference to the Scout's hometown.
    • The sticker also bears a striking resemblance to the subway tokens once used as payment to ride the metro.
