— The Soldier on the space marines

” |
The Righteous Bison is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a handheld retro-futuristic or steampunk styled ray gun.
The weapon fires an unreflectable projectile beam that is capable of piercing through multiple targets in a straight line but at the cost of dealing heavily reduced damage to buildings. The beam deals damage to any enemies that are touching it every 45 milliseconds and can hit the same target repeatedly. In addition, the beam can be used to ignite Huntsman arrows held by a friendly Sniper. Critical hits fired by the Righteous Bison will suffer damage falloff over distance.
Like the Cow Mangler 5000, the Righteous Bison features a "Bison" bar in the HUD which serves as an indication of its ammunition clip. After the bar is depleted, it can be recharged through a reloading process in which a piston in the back of the weapon is pumped. It does not incorporate the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons.
Enemies killed by the Bison suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while performing a specific disintegration animation surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes.
Weta Workshop held a panel at Template:W 2011 and handed out coupon codes to visitors that can be redeemed in Team Fortress 2 for a Genuine quality Righteous Bison.[1]

- In the client view, while crouching, the projectile will appear to fire much higher than the weapon model.
- When minimizing the game with this weapon equipped, the ammo portion of the HUD may disappear. Looking at the scoreboard may fix this.
