The Holy Mackerel is a melee weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a fish wrapped in faded newspaper, shaped for easy handling.
Whilst the weapon has no discernable attributes from the Bat, being slapped by the fish is considered so humiliating that the kill list displayed in the HUD will record every connecting swipe, displaying a number corresponding to the number of hits dealt. Should an enemy be killed by the Holy Mackeral, the kill feed will proclaim "FISH KILL!".
