The Fire Axe is a melee weapon of the Pyro class. In most circumstances, the Flamethrower is a much better choice for targets in melee range. The Fire Axe is typically used on unaware enemies and for humiliation purposes as it has a high Critical hit chance where as the Flamethrower does not. The Critical hit animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing.
