Why don't you bring that little mink stole over here and show me how stupid my wrapping paper is?
The Scout to Old Nick

The Wrap Assassin is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a ripped, team-colored roll of spotted wrapping paper accompanied by a team-colored bauble.

Acting similarly to the Sandman, pressing alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) will cause the player to launch the bauble as a projectile. Upon colliding with an enemy, the bauble shatters into glass shards, delivering damage and bleeding temporarily, also harming players that are within a small radius of the target; however, the weapon itself deals only 35% of the Bat's damage. If the projectile hits someone at an extreme distance, the victim will receive guaranteed critical hit damage from the bauble, and the player will hear a cheering crowd sound effect. Baubles and Baseballs can both be picked up from the ground to recharge the ball meter.

Compared to the Sandman's Baseball, the Wrap Assassin's bauble has a 25% faster recharge rate.

The Wrap Assassin was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Ball Buster".
