Trivia

• The Southern Hospitality, as with the Frontier Justice, the Wrangler, and the Gunslinger, appears to have been designed by Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's ancestor. This is shown by a hidden link in the Engineer Update.
• The model was submittted by WatchMaker| using the contribute page. He suggested the name 'Beat All'.
• The name "Southern Hospitality" is derived from the same phrase describing the warm and welcoming American South; an ironic statement considering the fact that it is a weapon causing excessive bleeding.
• The Southern Hospitality is one of two weapons that requires a Scrap Metal to craft, the other being the Pain Train.
• Unlike the Wrench and Golden Wrench, which are old-fashioned monkey wrenches, the Southern Hospitality appears to be a pipe wrench with a sharpened metal triangle protractor attached to the top and a trench knife hand guard.
