Strange Scattergun - Kills: 0

Botkiller weapons are a special classification of items. They are signature Stock weapons for each class with a robotic Heavy's head with team-colored eyes bound to the weapon with various belts, chains and wires depending on the weapon. Botkiller weapons were added to the game with the Mann vs. Machine update on August 15, 2012 Patch.

To earn a Botkiller weapon, you have to beat a full Tour of Duty (6 missions, two on each map), and at the end you are rewarded with a random Botkiller weapon. Each Tour of Duty will require the player to use six Tour of Duty Tickets. Weapons will always be in strange variant, and are most likely to be silver. The gold variety is much rarer (around a 15% chance). ^{[citation needed]}

The level of a Botkiller weapon is correspondent to the level of the player's Operation Steel Trap Badge. For example, the first time a player completes all six missions, he or she will be rewarded with a Level 1 item, the second times would be rewarded with a Level 2 item, etc. ^{[citation needed]}

All of the Botkiller weapons are Jiggleboned; Heavies', Pyros', Demomen's, Soldiers', Snipers', and Scouts' robotic Heavy heads will sway left and right according to the direction the player turns. On Engineers' and Spies' weapons, the mouth of the robotic Heavy head will open and close while the player moves around.

The Sniper's robotic Heavy head has a hole in its forehead, and the Demoman's sports a metal eyepatch.
