The '''Axtinguisher''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the {{cl|Pyro}}. It is a crudely constructed {{botignore|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.
  
The '''Axtinguisher''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]] class. 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 [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|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 weapon deals half the damage of the stock [[Fire Axe]] on non-burning players and does not roll for random [[critical hits]]; it may do so with the animation swing and electricity sound-effect, but will not actually achieve a critical hit with appropriate notification and increased damage. While attacking targets that are on [[fire]], however, it is guaranteed to critically hit and does not suffer from reduced damage. When affected by a crit boost, the Axtinguisher crits like other weapons - dealing three times base damage - but still suffers the 50% damage penalty against non-burning opponents. The weapon has no discernible effects against buildings, functioning identically to the Fire Axe.

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.
