The Homewrecker is a unique sledgehammer used by the Pyro, and was released in the March 18, 2010 Patch as part of the first wave of community content. When wielded, the Homewrecker deals double damage to an enemy Engineer's Buildings and can remove enemy Electro Sappers in one hit, but deals 25% less damage to players.
Damage
The damage of the Homewrecker is such that it will destroy all Buildings within two swings (the Combat Mini-sentry requiring only one), provided the building is not repaired between the first swing and the second, and that the building is not being protected with a Wrangler. The Homewrecker also destroys enemy Sappers in one swing.
- Base: 49 (42-55) vs players, 130 vs Buildings
- Mini-Crit: 66
- Critical Hit: 146
Damages are approximate and determined by community testing.
Function times
- Attack Interval: 0.8 (untested)
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
