Sweet!
The Scout

The Candy Cane is a melee weapon for the Scout. It is an oversized, white and team colored candy cane with a like-colored ribbon wrapped around it with a double-looped parallel bow.

This weapon has the same basic stats as the default Bat, but small health packs will be dropped by slain enemies if they are killed with any weapon while the Candy Cane is equipped to a loadout slot. Health packs also drop from assists and any kill that counts as being "finished off", but do not drop from Spies with the Dead Ringer deployed. Equipping the Candy Cane will make the Scout 25% more vulnerable to damage from explosives, such as rockets, grenades, stickybombs, and the Ullapool Caber.
