The Saxxy is a melee weapon for all classes with limited availability. It is an Australium-plated statuette of Saxton Hale set into a small plinth.
This weapon acts identically to each class's default melee weapon, sharing the same statistics and abilities. As such, Spies can perform backstabs and Engineers can upgrade their buildings.
The Saxxy was awarded to the winners of the First Annual Saxxy Awards in their respective categories.
Update History
- The Saxxy was added to the game.
Bugs
- The Saxxy is allocated many unfitting class taunts, such as those of the Demoman's Bottle and the Pyro's melee taunt.
- The Saxxy makes unfitting sound effects, such as those of the Demoman's Bottle and the Scout's Bat.
- Every class is given the Buff Banner's backpack model when equipping this weapon.
- As a Spy, although the Saxxy can be used to backstab enemies, the Spy does not hold the Saxxy in the striking position when in a 180° radius of an enemy.
- As a spy, there is no unique kill icon for backstabs or the Fencing taunt, using the default kill icons.
- The Heavy has severe animation problems and clipping issues wielding the Saxxy.
- Killing with Showdown taunt will not turn enemy into a golden statue.
- Voice responses related to melee weapons have no discretion when the Saxxy is equipped. ie Demoman will refer to it as "Me bottle of scrumpy" etc
Trivia
- In game files this weapon has hidden ability "
can_modify_sockets". - While the First Annual Saxxy Awards promotional video reveals that the Saxxy is 75% made of Australium, the blog post promoting the announcement of the contest winners refers to it as a "handsome 100% Australium-plated Saxton Hale statuette", adding further vagueness to its actual composition.
- The "Best Coordinated Combat" Award was given to BMFISH Chris as the credited creator, although it's JulianosTheGreat's video [1]
