The Boston Boom-Bringer is a miscellaneous item for the Scout. It is a gray, orange, and team-colored Template:W that is strapped on top of the Scout's default messenger bag. A hidden attribute makes this item play music during any taunt the player performs, though this effect was noted on the official TF2 website.
There are four unique audio clips, each with a chance to play upon activation of a taunt (1, 2, 3 and 4).
The Boston Boom-Bringer was contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop, under the name "The B.E.A.T.".
