“

Did this come from hell? It did, didn't it? Awww, man. It's like what the Devil uses when he plugs up his toilet or somethin'.

— The Scout

”

The Sun-on-a-Stick is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is an ornate jet-black mace with orange veins, topped with a glowing fiery orb and black spikes.

This weapon delivers 25% less damage than the default Bat, but deals guaranteed Critical hits whenever a player strikes a burning enemy with it, making it effective if used in conjunction with a friendly Pyro's afterburn, friendly Sniper's lit Huntsman arrow, friendly Soldier's charge shot with the Cow Mangler 5000, or a friendly Heavy using the Huo-Long Heater. Additionally, the Sun-on-a-Stick grants the user 25% fire resistance while active.

The Sun-on-a-Stick was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011.
