” |
The Boston Basher is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a bloodstained, spiked wooden club reinforced with metal bands.
This weapon deals the same base damage as the stock Bat. However, enemies struck also bleed for 5 seconds. A missed swing causes the Scout to hit himself by accident, dealing 18 damage as well as the full duration of bleeding. The self-damage is not applied if the swing hits anything aside from empty air (enemies, teammates, walls, floors, props, etc). Missing with a critical swing plays the critical hit sound effect, but the self-damage is unchanged. While invulnerable, a missed swing causes no self-damage.
The self-damage of the Boston Basher can serve as a means of quickly charging up a Medic's ÜberCharge. In addition, self-hits apply knockback to the Scout, and, if correctly timed, can provide the Scout with what is effectively an additional midair jump. This jump can be used to reach locations normally out of reach, set up ambushes, and make escapes not normally possible.
The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update as a replacement for the Sandman, and has since been officially added to the game.
