Woosh! Click to listen — The Scout mimicking the sound

”

The Batsaber is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a metallic tube with a rubberized grip that emits a team-colored beam of light that resembles the size and shape of the stock Bat. It emits an electronic noise when swung, may it hit or miss.

Enemies killed by the Cow Mangler 5000 suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes while a loud, distinct vaporization sound plays. Like backstabs and headshots, there is a 25% chance that opponents will perform a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way.

This weapon functions identically to the Bat.

The Batsaber may be inspected by using the inspect item key (default key: hold F).

The Batsaber was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the same name.

Bugs

• The Batsaber lacks the description "Team Colored Weapon", and their BLU team variants cannot be viewed in the backpack unless playing on BLU team.
