 The Atomizer |
|
| “ | Good Scouts drink Bonk. And good ones beat the crap out of every single chucklehead in their way! But this bat is the harder thing to bonk with.
— Atomizer publicity blurb
|
” |
The Atomizer is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is an aluminum bat with a black ribbed grip, and the Bonk! logo emblazoned on it surrounded by team-colored stripes and bands.
The Atomizer grants the wielder the ability to triple jump while holding the weapon. When performing a triple jump with the Atomizer actived, a cloud of purple smoke will trail behind the Scout, as opposed to the normal white cloud. Also, while airborne, attacks with this weapon will mini-crit. As a downside, the Atomizer has a 50% deploy time penalty and deals 15% less damage to players. However, it will do the same amount of damage as the Bat to non-player objects such as buildings.
Taunting with the Atomizer equipped will perform the Home Run kill taunt.
