The Crowbar (Axe in Quake Team Fortress) is a melee weapon used in Team Fortress Classic. It serves as the melee weapon for classes that do not have a unique alternative. It is used by every single class except for the Medic, Engineer, Spy and Civilian (TFC Only) classes.
Overview
- The "Axe" or "Crowbar" is generally a last resort weapon or a close combat quarters alternative to conserve ammo. Using it in any other situation would be an unwise decision, due to its low swing rate.
- Using it against highly armored and healthed classes such as the Soldier or Heavy would be useless, unless these are severely wounded and need to be finished off.
- Each successful hit deals 18 damage points.
