“

Delinquents all over the country have been harassing old ladies while you were stuck in your nearby generic desert-industrial environment. You missed out on all the extreme elderly-pestering action! No worries, though! With this handmade bat, you can still vent your frustration elsewhere. — Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

”

The Boston Basher is a melee weapon for the Scout. It appears as a bloodstained wooden club covered with spikes and reinforced with metal bands.

This weapon inflicts a five-second Bleed effect upon hitting an enemy. Missing the hit however, causes it to apply the damage and bleed effect to the wielding Scout instead, therefore careful precision is required when attacking up close, particularly with the added risk from the Scout's movement speed.

The self-damage effect is not applied if the player hits a teammate or any solid object such as a wall, floor or prop. Missing with a critical swing causes the critical hit sound effect, though only normal damage is inflicted. When swinging the weapon in mid-air, the damage inflicts slight upwards knockback, allowing for extra jumps at the expense of health. While under the effects of a Medic's ÜberCharge, missing causes no damage to the player.

The weapon can serve as a means of quickly charging up a Medic's Übercharge.

The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update as a replacement for the Sandman, and has since been officially added to the game.
