| |
| − | | |
| − | The '''Back Scratcher''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a heavy-duty gardening rake, consisting of a wooden handle with a green metal head at one end, and a rubber cap on the other. The teeth on the head are bloodstained and bent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Back Scratcher increases melee damage by 25% when compared with the [[Fire Axe]] and raises healing from [[Health#Health Kits|health pack]]s by 50%, as well as dropped [[lunchbox]] items, which function as small and medium health packs. As a result, small and medium health packs bestow 54, approximately 31%, and 132, approximately 75% health respectively. However, there is an overall cost of 75% slower healing from [[Medic]]s, [[Dispenser]]s and the [[Payload#Carts|Payload Cart]]. Players are therefore forced to rely less on continuous healing sources and more on health packs scattered around the map.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As an interesting bonus, the rate at which a Medic's [[ÜberCharge]] is filled is not slowed, allowing heavily-injured Pyros to greatly build up an ÜberCharge.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The weapon was originally created for the [[Fancy vs. Nasty Update]] as a replacement skin for the [[Axtinguisher]] and has since been officially added to the game.

| − | == Trivia ==
| |
| − | * Usually in the shape of a miniature rake, a [[w:Backscratcher|backscratcher]] is a tool used for scratching areas that cannot easily be reached by one's own hands, typically the middle of back; that is, to "scratch one's own back".
| |
| − | ** A flanking Pyro may ambush an enemy from behind, "scratching their back" for them with the rake.
| |
| − | ** [https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/scratch+your+back Scratch (someone's) back] is an idiom for doing someone a favor, such as Healing; but, the health pack buff makes it easier for (or requires) the flanking Pyro to "scratch their own back" with Health Pickups.
