Australium weapons

“

Finishing a Two Cities Tour might even get you one of the most exceedingly, some might say preposterously rare items in the game: the Australium weapon. (Hushed silence. Then, from the back, a lone slow clap. Then: thunderous applause.) — Australium weapons publicity blurb

Australium Flame Thrower
Strange Flame Thrower - Kills: 0

Australium weapons are a very rare classification of weapons introduced in the Two Cities Update. Similarly to Botkiller weapons, they are unique reskins of specific weapons, and are awarded upon completing a full Advanced or Expert Tour of Duty in Mann vs. Machine mode. Built from the material of the same name, the custom golden skin is purely cosmetic; despite being constructed from the same element as the Golden Wrench and Saxxy, only the Golden Frying Pan causes the same Australium statue ragdolls. All Australium weapons are of Strange quality. Killing someone with an Australium weapon produces a golden glow behind its kill icon.

Bugs

• On stupendously rare occasions, upon killing an enemy with the Golden Frying Pan, Saxxy, or Golden Wrench, instead of turning the ragdoll into Audtralium statues, the ragdoll may turn into a mixture of Audtralium and Ice, while the Ice effect is only supposed to be featured on the Spy-cicle.

Trivia

• The level of an Australium weapon is determined by the number of tours the player has completed upon earning one.
