The Tide Turner is a secondary weapon for the Demoman introduced in the Love & War Update. It is a worn-down ship steering wheel that functions similarly to the Chargin' Targe. It gives full turning control while charging and any kills obtained while charging will instantly replenish the charge meter. Like the Demoman's other shields, it provides passive resistances to both fire and explosive damage.
The Tide Turner was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Wheel of Misfortune".
