The Tide Turner is a community-created secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is a worn-down ship steering wheel with various pieces broken off.
The Tide Turner, like the Chargin' Targe, allows the Demoman to perform a Charging maneuver for 1.5 seconds (or 2.3 if equipped with the Claidheamh Mòr), with benefits including a temporary boost of speed, shield bash and melee damage boosts which scale by distance, and the immediately removal of afterburn, bleeding, Mad Milk and Jarate. Heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron will increase the damage of the bash by 5 damage each, at a maximum of 5 heads. However, the Tide Turner grants full turning control while charging, and any kills obtained with melee weapons will instantly replenish 75% of the charge meter. However, being damaged while charging reduces the remaining charge time on a one-to-one basis; for example, taking 42 damage will subtract 42% from the remaining charge meter. Being damaged at the precise moment a charge is initiated will fully drain the charge meter, regardless of how much damage was dealt. The Tide Turner's downsides include its lower passive resistances to both fire and explosive damage, 15% each in this case (lower than both the Chargin' Targe and the Splendid Screen). Additionally, the maximum damage boost gained by charging with a melee weapon is only a mini-crit, compared to the critical hit gained by charging almost the full distance with the other shields.
The Tide Turner was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
