— The Demoman
|
” |
With a twirl behind his back, leading to a horizontal slash to the unfortunate neck that stands before him, the Demoman performs his Decapitation taunt. The Demoman concludes his short swipe by bringing his blade back and wiping down its length with his fingers. 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, Headtaker, or Nine Iron 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 is considered "honorable" by the Half-Zatoichi, and will allow the player to sheath their weapon, as well as fill their health.
As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during a stalemate or humiliation, despite being visibly disarmed.
The Decapitation can be performed with the Eyelander, Half-Zatoichi, Claidheamh Mòr, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, Persian Persuader, and Nessie's Nine Iron.
