The Crowbar (Axe in Quake Team Fortress) is a melee weapon used in Team Fortress Classic. It serves as the melee weapon for classes that do not have a unique alternative. It is used by every single class except for the Medic, Engineer, Spy and Civilian (TFC Only) classes.

Overview

• The "Axe" or "Crowbar" is generally a last resort weapon or a close combat quarters alternative to conserve ammo. Using it in any other situation would be an unwise decision, due to its low swing rate.
• Using it against highly armored and healthed classes such as the Soldier or Heavy would be useless, unless these are severely wounded and need to be finished off, along with humiliation.
• Each successful hit deals 18 damage points.

Trivia

• During the development of Team Fortress 2, most classes were planned to have a Crowbar as their melee weapon.

• The Team Fortress Classic Civilian uses an Umbrella instead of a Crowbar. The Crowbar and Umbrella both have the same stats and use the same sounds/animations.

• The Team Fortress Classic model uses the Half-Life crowbar model.

• The Crowbar is still referred as Axe in Team Fortress Classic's game files.
