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. 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, holsters 35% slower, and does not deal random critical hits. Attacking targets that are on fire will guarantee mini-crit damage, along with an increase in base damage depending on the remaining duration of the afterburn, at the cost of extinguishing the target on hit. Killing a burning target with the Axtinguisher will grant a 35% movement speed boost for 4 seconds.

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