The Homewrecker is a community-made melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a large, two-handed sledgehammer.
When wielded, this weapon deals double damage to enemy buildings. Its damage is capable of destroying a Mini-Sentry in one hit, and any other unattended building in two. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy an Electro Sapper attached to a friendly building with a single swing. Unlike the Engineer's melee weapons, the Homewrecker cannot repair damaged buildings. Additionally, the Homewrecker will deal 25% less damage to enemies.
The kill icon for the Homewrecker was contributed by NeoDement.

Bugs
- One of the Homewrecker's positive attributes is "100% damage vs. buildings", which suggests that it deals normal melee damage to buildings and 25% lower damage to players. The Homewrecker actually deals double damage to buildings; the attribute should be "+100% damage vs. buildings".
- The Arsonist achievement can be obtained by destroying enemy Sappers.
Trivia
- While the Homewrecker was submitted with the name "Sledgehammer", the Homewrecker's original skin name was Mr Sledge, and was available as a skin for the Axtinguisher.
