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. It is a crudely constructed Fire Axe consisting 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 a splintered end.

Compared to the stock Fire Axe, the Axtinguisher deals 33% less damage, possesses a 35% slower holster speed, and does not roll for random critical hits. While attacking targets that are on fire, however, it is guaranteed to deal mini-crit damage, along with an increase in base damage depending on the remaining duration of the afterburn, at the cost of extinguishing them. Additionally, killing a burning target will grant a 35% speed boost.

The Axtinguisher is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Pyro achievements.

Trivia

  • Although Pyros are resistant to afterburn, they can be mini-crit by the Axtinguisher if the hit connects before resistance takes effect.
  • In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Axtinguisher and Ubersaw are not stained with blood, but otherwise remain unchanged.
  • The attribute "Sketchek's Bequest" in the description is a reference to a well-known former Pyro player named Sketchek. He was famous for his creative and high-skill gameplay, one aspect of this including unique mastery of the Axtinguisher. "Bequest" is the title of the last public video he uploaded before quitting the game because of a terminal illness; the term also carries the definition of "legacy" or "inheritance".
