However, there is an overall cost of 75% slower healing from [[Medic]]s, [[Dispensers]] 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.

When asked about it, the Pyro claims to have found it in the garden and has been using it as a backscratcher, though we must admit we have always wondered how the bent teeth and bloodstains got there. Now we know.
— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

The Back Scratcher is a community-made 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 Backscratcher increases melee damage by 25% and raises healing from health packs by 50%, as well as dropped Sandviches, which function as 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 Medics, Dispensers and the 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.
