Pack up the tea, boys! We are joining the Space Marines! — The Soldier

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. 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 Righteous Bison suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air while team-colored fire particles surround them and their body disintegrates, similar to a kill with the Energy Ball from Template:W, but without the colored particles.

Update history

July 19, 2011 [Item schema update]

• The item was added to the item schema as 'Mystery Item'.

July 20, 2011 Patch

Bugs

• Causing an enemy spy to feign death with the Bison will sometimes create 2 corpses: one 'ragdoll' corpse and one 'vaporized' corpse.
• This weapon will not set off pumpkin bombs, due to the projectiles traveling through them.

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.
• Weta Workshop held a panel at Template:W 2011, and handed out coupon codes to visitors, which could be redeemed in Team Fortress 2 for a Unique and untradable Righteous Bison.
