The Righteous Bison is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a handheld retro-future or steampunk styled ray gun.
This weapon fires an unreflectable projectile that delivers reduced damage against buildings but is capable of piercing through targets; it is possible to hit the same target repeatedly with the same shot as well as multiple targets in a direct line. The projectile deals damage every 45 milliseconds. It does not feature the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons. Additionally, it can be used to light Huntsman arrows held by a friendly Sniper.
Enemies killed by the Bison suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air, performing a specific disintegration animation, while surrounded by team-colored particles.

Bugs

- If a player dies before killing an enemy with the Righteous Bison, the kill icon will be a generic skull and bones and not its original icon.
- In the client view, while crouching, the projectile will appear to fire much higher than the weapon model.
- This weapon's projectile passes through glass, but does not deal damage to enemies on the other side.
Trivia
- The appearance of this weapon is based on that of 'The Righteous Bison - Indivisible Particle Smasher', which can be purchased from the online store at Weta Workshop.

- Immediately after switching to the Righteous Bison or Cow Mangler 5000, an ammo counter can briefly be seen, showing "10..." ammo in clip after the first time the weapon is fired. This shows that the ammo count possibly increases after each attack, instead of not consuming ammo.
