The Boston Boom-Bringer 1 - 100 Walkin' down the street to the hardcore beat while his Mann Co. boom vibrates the concrete.

“

Is it a radio? Yes! Is it "bad"? Yes! When you taunt while it's equipped, will it play music to terrorize your neighbors and scare suckas? Yes! — The TF2 Team

”

The Boston Boom-Bringer is a miscellaneous item for the Scout. It is a gray, orange, and team-colored Template:W that is strapped on top of the Scout's default messenger bag. It plays music during any taunt the player performs.

There are four unique audio clips, each with a chance to play upon activation of a taunt (1, 2, 3 and 4).

The Boston Boom-Bringer was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "The B.E.A.T.".
