You are now a conscientious objector to being dead, hippie! Click to listen — The Soldier

”

The Conscientious Objector is a melee weapon equippable by all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is an uprooted road sign, with a worn sheet of paper bearing the Team Fortress 2 logo nailed onto the front; the image can be replaced with another by using the Decal Tool. The sign itself is battered, bloodstained, ridden with nails and slightly crooked.

This item functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

Update history

October 13, 2011 Patch (Manniversary Update & Sale)

• The Conscientious Objector was added to the game.

Bugs

• Like the Saxxy, the Conscientious Objector shares the same sounds as the default melee weapons for the Classes who can equip it.
• The Heavy has no taunt with this weapon, even though it shares a taunt with the default melee weapons of all of the other classes who can equip it.
• Taunting as the Demoman will result in the Demoman attempting to drink out of the weapon.
• Many classes do not have special critical hit animations for this weapon.
• The fingers of several classes clip into the weapon in client view.
• The face of the sign clips into Heavy's head in the idle pose.
• When the Scout first unsheathes the weapon, it clips through his arm.
• If multiple people on the server have a Conscientious Objector, the Conscientious Objector may have the incorrect decal in client view.
• The sign will always appear to be blank in first person view.
• Some voice commands with animations, like "Move Up," will make this weapon float in the air.

Trivia

• A Template:W is someone who refuses military service for ideological reasons.
• The description of the weapon references "Template:W", a song by Template:W.
• The Conscientious Objector was given the name "Pummeling Picket" in its Steam Workshop submission.
