It functions similarly to the [[Chargin' Targe]]; however, it also gives full turning control while charging, and any kills obtained with [[Weapons#demomanmelee|melee weapon]]s will instantly replenish 75% of the charge meter. However, being damaged while charging reduces the remaining charge time on a one-to-one basis; for example, taking 42 damage will subtract 42% from the remaining charge meter. Being damaged in the precise moment a charge is initiated will fully drain the charge meter, regardless of how much damage was dealt. Like the Demoman's other shields, it provides passive resistances to both fire and explosive damage, 15% each in this case.
+
The Tide Turner, like the [[Chargin' Targe]], allows the Demoman to perform a [[Charging]] maneuver for 1.75 seconds (or 2.25 seconds if equipped with the [[Claidheamh Mòr]]), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed, a shield bash, melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediate removal of [[afterburn]], [[bleeding]], [[Mad Milk]] and [[Jarate]]. Heads gathered by the [[Eyelander]], [[Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker]] or [[Nessie's Nine Iron]] increase the damage of the shield bash by 5 damage each, at a maximum of 5 heads. Unlike other shields, the Tide Turner grants full turning control while charging, and any kills obtained with [[Weapons#demomanmelee|melee weapons]] instantly replenish 75% of the charge meter. However, being damaged while charging reduces the remaining charge time at a one-to-one ratio; for example, taking 42 damage subtracts 42% from the remaining charge meter. Being damaged at the precise moment a charge is initiated fully drains the charge meter, regardless of how much damage was dealt.
  
−
The strength of the charge is indicated in a meter in the [[HUD]] which changes color as it depletes. Using a melee weapon in conjunction with the charge will provide extra damage potential. For example, when the meter is white or green, a melee attack will only do normal damage. At the yellow color, essentially half of the charge distance, striking will add [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|mini-crit]] damage. Unlike the Chargin' Targe, the player gets only a melee mini-crit swing when attacking at red or immediately after bashing into a player depend on charge depleted, mini-crits occur at less 25% charge meter depleted. While charging, any enemy in the direct path will be bashed by the Tide Turner provided the player does not end the charge prematurely by attacking. The shield bash damage scales over distance.
+
The Tide Turner's downsides include its lower passive resistance to both fire and explosive damage, 15% each in this case (lower than both the [[Chargin' Targe]] and the [[Splendid Screen]]). Additionally, the maximum damage boost gained by charging with a melee weapon is only a [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|Mini-Crit]], compared to the [[Critical hits|Critical hit]] gained by charging almost the full distance with the other shields.

— The Demoman on turn control
 ”

The Tide Turner is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a worn-down ship steering wheel with various pieces broken off.

The Tide Turner, like the Chargin' Targe, allows the Demoman to perform a Charging maneuver for 1.75 seconds (or 2.25 seconds if equipped with the Claidheamh Mòr), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed, a shield bash, melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediate removal of afterburn, bleeding, Mad Milk and Jarate. Heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron increase the damage of the shield bash by 5 damage each, at a maximum of 5 heads. Unlike other shields, the Tide Turner grants full turning control while charging, and any kills obtained with melee weapons instantly replenish 75% of the charge meter. However, being damaged while charging reduces the remaining charge time at a one-to-one ratio; for example, taking 42 damage subtracts 42% from the remaining charge meter. Being damaged at the precise moment a charge is initiated fully drains the charge meter, regardless of how much damage was dealt.

The Tide Turner's downsides include its lower passive resistance to both fire and explosive damage, 15% each in this case (lower than both the Chargin' Targe and the Splendid Screen). Additionally, the maximum damage boost gained by charging with a melee weapon is only a Mini-Crit, compared to the Critical hit gained by charging almost the full distance with the other shields.

The Tide Turner was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
