Why don't you bring that little mink stole over here and show me how stupid my wrapping paper is?

The Wrap Assassin is a melee weapon for the Scout. It is a ripped, team-colored roll of spotted Template:W accompanied by a team-colored bauble.

Acting similarly to the Sandman, pressing alt-fire will cause the player to launch the bauble as a projectile. Upon colliding with an enemy, the bauble shatters into glass shards, delivering damage and bleeding temporarily. Range does not affect the bleeding damage or duration. However, the weapon itself suffers a 70% damage penalty, thus only dealing 30% of the Bat's damage. If the projectile hits someone at an extreme distance, the victim will receive guaranteed critical hit damage from the bauble, and the player will hear a cheering crowd sound effect.

The Wrap Assassin was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "Ball Buster".
