 The Ullapool Caber |
|
| “ | There's a long tradition of brave, kilted men running into battle with naught but a large stick and dangerous amounts of alcohol in their bloodstreams. Now you can keep this glorious custom alive and add a modern twist by attaching explosives to your improvised weaponry!
— Ullapool Caber publicity blurb

” |
The Ullapool Caber is a community-created melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a disproportioned World War-era German Model 24 Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with a white Mann Co. logo stamped on the head and black wrapping tape around the stick.
With this weapon, the first hit on any solid object or enemy (including a disguised Spy) will cause the explosives in the head to detonate, dealing massive explosive damage to both the Demoman and surrounding enemies, with rampup applied, and melee damage dealt to the main target in addition to the explosion. The Demoman will be propelled directly upwards by the explosion and will likely suffer fall damage upon landing. This weapon will not explode if struck against an ally or a friendly building.
After the Caber explodes, the Demoman will be left with only the remains of the grenade stick, which deals less damage than other Demoman melee weapons. Respawning or visiting a Resupply locker are the only ways to restore the grenade to its original state.
The kill icons for the Ullapool Caber were contributed by Template:Steam profile link.

- When striking an enemy, the Ullapool Caber will sometimes not deliver the explosive damage. It still deals full explosion damage to the Demoman, but it only deals melee damage to the struck enemy.

Trivia
- Ullapool is a town in the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands where the Demoman was born.
- A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
- The description "High-yield Scottish face removal" was taken directly from the promotional artwork that Swizzle created for his entry in the Polycount contest.
- The taunt used for the Ullapool Caber was present in game files and unused since the WAR! Update. This taunt was originally for the Bottle.
