Damnit, damnit, damnit, damnit!
The Engineer on extra damage to his buildings

The Homewrecker is a community-made melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a large, two-handed sledgehammer.

When wielded, this weapon deals double damage to enemy buildings. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy an Electro Sapper attached to a friendly building with a single swing. Unlike the Engineer's melee weapons, the Homewrecker cannot repair damaged buildings. Additionally, the Homewrecker will deal 25% less damage to enemies.

As buildings are now more reinforced against damage from the Flamethrower, the Homewrecker is a more suitable weapon for destroying Dispensers and Teleporters quickly. Its damage is capable of destroying a Mini-Sentry in one hit, and any other unattended building in two. A normal Sentry Gun proves to be the most difficult building to destroy due to knockback and continual fire, particularly when protected with the Wrangler. A Pyro aided by a Medic is able to take down most Sentry Guns, especially with an ÜberCharge.

The kill icon for the Homewrecker was contributed by NeoDement.
