 The Boston Basher |

| “ | 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 community-made melee weapon for the Scout. It is 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, applies the damage and bleed effect to the wearer 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. While under the effects of a Medic's ÜberCharge, missing causes no damage to the player.
Despite its main damage dealing purpose, the Boston Basher can also serve as a means of quickly charging up a Medic's ÜberCharge and if correctly timed, can also provide the Scout with a third or fourth jump, also known as a triple or quad jump. These types of jumps can help assist a Scout to reach higher or further distant areas or ledges, set up ambushes and make escapes not normally possible without the use of the Force-A-Nature and the knock back effect it provides.
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.

Update history
December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)
- The Boston Basher was added to the game.
- This weapon was added to the Mann Co. Store, became craftable, and included in random drops.
- This weapon was given a unique kill icon.
- Fixed this weapon's melee attack not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
- [Undocumented] The Boston Basher was added to the crafting blueprint for the Sun-on-a-Stick.

Bugs
- The weapon uses the Bat's sounds.
- The base of the weapon clips with the Scout's hand.
- If equipped with Crit-a-Cola, the weapon can inflict bleeding mini-crit damage, while only dealing normal melee damage. To do this, you must first hit a target with the Boston Basher, and then immediately switch to and use Crit-a-Cola. After consuming the drink, the rest of the bleed damage inflicted towards the target will be converted into mini-crits.
- This also works with the Soda Popper when the hype meter turns to full during the bleed damage.
