This article is about the Demoman's stock melee weapon. For other bottles, see Bottle (disambiguation).]].
Ay, me bottle o' scrumpy!
The Demoman

The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown, opaque glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and a year suggesting it was made in 1808.

While the weapon works similarly to most of the other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and remains so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range and deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.

Trivia

  • Scrumpy is a type of strong cider traditionally brewed in the West Country of England. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles, as this prevents sunlight from spoiling the contents.
  • The 'XXX' logo refers to how alcohol is commonly portrayed in cartoons to avoid copyright infringement. It is also a reference to the traditional way of rating alcohol strength, 3 X's being the strongest.
  • The bucket icons for the Bottle are team-specific, showing that there were once RED and BLU versions of the Bottle.
