The Fire Axe is a melee weapon for the Pyro class. It is a classic chopping axe with a wooden handle.
In most circumstances, the Flamethrower is a much better choice for targets in melee range. The Fire Axe, however, is typically used on unaware enemies and for humiliation purposes as it has a high Critical hit chance. The Critical hit animation for the Fire Axe is a swift right to left horizontal swing.

Trivia
- Although swinging the Fire Axe in player view causes different animations to play, the world view shows the Pyro always using an overhead swing even on Critical hits. This is due to an old patch which provided the Pyro with more hit animations; previously the Pyro would only swing the Fire Axe vertically down.
