“
Birds migrate because they know death is coming.
— Grim Tweeter publicity blurb
 ”

The Grim Tweeter is a community-created cosmetic item for all classes. It is a black bird fitted with a stitched cloak with a hood, a skull-like mask, and a scythe held under its right wing that stands on the mercenary's left shoulder.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

The Grim Tweeter was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
