The Sun-on-a-Stick is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is an ornate jet-black mace with orange veins, topped with a glowing fiery orb and black spikes.
This weapon delivers 25% less damage than the default Bat, but deals guaranteed critical hits whenever a player strikes a burning enemy with it, making it effective if used in conjunction with a friendly Pyro's afterburn, friendly Sniper's lit Huntsman arrow, friendly Soldier's charge shot with the Cow Mangler 5000 or a friendly Heavy using Huo-Long Heater. Additionally, the Sun-on-a-Stick grants the user 25% fire resistance while active.
The Sun-on-a-Stick was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered RIFT on Steam before March 1, 2011.
