There can be only oooone! ...Aye...
The Demoman

With a twirl behind his back, leading to a horizontal slash to the unfortunate neck that stands before him, a taunt with the Eyelander, Half-Zatoichi or Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker will cause the Demoman to perform the decapitation taunt. The Demoman concludes his short decapitation by bring his blade back and running his fingers down the length of it. The decapitation will kill anyone caught within range as the blade swings across them, rewarding the player with a new head to their collection with the Eyelander equipped. However, a kill with the decapitation will not contribute to any achievements involving performing kills with the Eyelander.

Killing a player with this taunt, however, is considered "honorable" by the Half-Zatoichi, and will allow the player to sheath their weapon.

As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during a stalemate, or humiliation.

Update history

December 17, 2010 Patch (WAR! Update)

  • The taunt was added to the game.
  • Fixed a server crash caused by the Demoman taunt kill.

April 14, 2011 Patch (Hatless Update)

  • Fixed taunt kills made with a Katana not counting towards honorbound kills

Bugs

  • The taunt will still decapitate the target if they are standing directly on top or underneath of the Demoman.
  • The achievement Scotch Tap specifically mentions the Eyelander being used, even though it is achievable with the Half-Zatoichi.

Trivia

  • There is an unused model located in game files, which depicts a cleanly "decapitated" neck, located in the Soldier directory. Whether this model was meant to appear in game, or on an update page in the case of a Demoman victory during the War! is unknown.
  • Though the Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker functions exactly the same as the Eyelander in every other aspect, it is unable to perform the Decapitation taunt. The Headtaker is capable of performing the taunt in the TF2 Beta, however.
