 The Axtinguisher |
|
| “ | This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.
— Axtinguisher publicity blurb

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro class. A crude weapon, it consists of a slightly rusted axe-head stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and splintered end.
By itself, the weapon does half the damage of the regular Fire Axe, except against buildings. On the other hand, it will always perform a Critical hit against a target that is on fire yet will never have Critical hits on a non-burning opponent. The weapon may perform the Crit animation when swung, complete with the correct sound effect, but it will not inflict critical damage unless the victim is alight or the Pyro is under the effects of a Crit boost.
