The '''Third Degree''' is a [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a team-colored, retro-futuristic axe with a [[Self-illumination|white-hot]] coil in lieu of a sharpened edge.
 
 
 
The weapon has the ability to deal [[damage]] not only to the enemy being struck, but also simultaneously to enemy players healing or being healed by the target with [[Medic]] healing beams, and any other enemies further along chains of healing beams. Damage vulnerabilities and resistances, such as those from the [[Fists of Steel]] and the [[Powerjack]], are not transferred to other players in the chain. The Third Degree does not have any negative attributes, making it a direct improvement over the default [[Fire Axe]].
 
 
 
Enemies killed by the Third Degree suffer a distinctive death by incineration, wherein they disintegrate into smoldering orange cinders that quickly fade away.
 
 
 
[[Taunts|Taunting]] with the Third Degree equipped will play Pyro's [[Pyro taunts#Melee|air guitar taunt]], but a [[Media:Pyro guitar solo no verb.wav|heavy metal guitar sound]] plays alongside Pyro's usual mumbling.
 
 
 
The Third Degree was later [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=6528 contributed] to the [[Steam Workshop]], at [[Valve]]'s request.
