When wielded, the weapon is able to deal essentially double damage to an enemy [[Engineer]]'s [[buildings]]. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy an [[Electro Sapper]] attached to a friendly building; it's capable of destroying the Electro Sapper more quickly than any of the Engineer's melee weapons. The weapon cannot repair damaged buildings, however, and is unable to remove Sappers from the other end of the Teleporter.  The player will also deal 25% less damage to enemies.

As buildings are now more reinforced against damage from the [[Flamethrower]], the Homewrecker is a more suitable weapon for destroying Dispensers and Teleporters quickly.
