 The Powerjack |
|
| “ | Vintage 1950's automobile jack paired with an equally painful car battery. Packs a devastating melee punch with the weight of the battery and steel.
— Powerjack publicity blurb
|
” |
The Powerjack is a community-created melee weapon for the Pyro. It is an antique automobile jack with a team-colored car battery strapped to its base with heavy, yellow rubber bands.
This weapon deals identical damage to the Fire Axe, and upon killing an enemy with this weapon, the player will be awarded 75 health. While this weapon is active, the player is granted a 15% speed bonus. As a downside, the player suffers from an additional 20% weakness to all damage sources when the Powerjack is active.
Should the player's health exceed 100% due to the health bonus, the remaining health will be applied as an overheal, giving the user up to a maximum of 260 health; this extra health will diminish over time in the same manner as a standard overheal.
The kill icon for the Powerjack was contributed by Template:Steam profile link.

Trivia
- The car jack does not contain a ratchet mechanism to hold the load arm at a set height. As a result, the load arm would be subject to telescoping within itself due to the weight of the car battery or accidental contact with the crank.
- The health restoration granted on kill still applies if the enemy dies of afterburn and the user is wielding the Powerjack.
