This article is about the Demoman's stock melee weapon. For other bottles, see Bottle (disambiguation).

“

Ay, me bottle o' scrumpy! Click to listen — The Demoman

”

The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and a year suggesting it was made in 1808.

While the weapon works similarly to most of the other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and will remain so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range, and deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.

The Bottle's critical hit animation is a swift downward swing.
