The '''Homewrecker''' is a [[Contribution page|community-made]] [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a large, two-handed sledgehammer.
 
  
When wielded, this weapon deals double damage to enemy [[buildings]]. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy an [[Electro Sapper]] attached to a friendly building with a single swing. Unlike the Engineer's melee weapons, the Homewrecker cannot repair damaged buildings. Additionally, the Homewrecker will 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. Its damage is capable of destroying a [[Mini-Sentry]] in one hit, and any other unattended building in two. A normal [[Sentry Gun]] proves to be the most difficult building to destroy due to [[knockback]] and continual fire, particularly when protected with the [[Wrangler]]. A Pyro aided by a [[Medic]] is able to take down most Sentry Guns, especially with an [[ÜberCharge]].
