Who wouldn't want to squeeze off a couple rounds with the murder weapon of choice of a sociopathic cartoon rabbit? Probably quite a lot of people, when you get right down to it. Luckily, those people are all well-adjusted contributors to society with no police records, spotless credit ratings and few unresolvable moral failings. They also probably have no interest in playing TF2, so that means more murder-rabbit gun shooting for the rest of us.
— Official Description

The Lugermorph is a promotional secondary weapon for the Scout and Engineer. It is based upon the sidearm of Max, the "hyperkinetic rabbity thing" from Sam & Max.

This weapon functions in exactly the same way as the Pistol.

The Lugermorph was first given to players who pre-ordered Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse or who bought it up to a week after release. Later, it was made available through defeating Max in a round of Poker Night at the Inventory in which he has bought in with the item and the License to Maim instead of cash.

The kill icon for the Lugermorph was contributed by NeoDement.

Bugs

  • When the Lugermorph is reloaded, no magazine is inserted into or removed from the gun. The wielder appears to simply pat the butt of the stock and resume combat.
  • When wielded by a Gunslinger Engineer, his index finger clips through the grip.
  • When "Details" is selected for a Lugermorph obtained from Poker Night at The Inventory, the Mann Co. Catalog will jump to the first item, the Kritzkrieg, likely due to its separate internal item ID from the original.
  • The Self-Made Lugermorphs given to Telltale Games employees were unintentionally converted to Vintage when Poker Night at the Inventory was released. This change made them tradable while maintaining Self-Made characteristics — level 50, Community Sparkle particle effect and an "I made this!" description.
  • The bottom of the gun clips into the bottom of the Scout's hand.
  • It is possible to loop the reload animation by firing and holding down the reload button. This animation is corrected once all the bullets are spent or until the reload is complete.

Trivia

  • The name "Lugermorph" is a portmanteau of "Template:W", a German sidearm that the Lugermorph's model is based on, and "Template:W", the taxonomic order that Max claims to be part of.
  • The weapon's in-game description is a reference to a mystery and running joke in the Sam & Max series; Where does Max keep his items? The answer to which is "None of your damn business."
  • The Lugermorph released with Poker Night at the Inventory uses a separate internal item ID from the Lugermorph original released in The Devil's Playhouse promotion; this technically makes it a different item, though the only difference is that the Poker Night Lugermorph cannot be traded, and does not have the vintage tag.
  • The Lugermorph shares the same taunt as the Pistol for both the Scout and the Engineer. Since the barrel of this gun is longer than the Pistol's, the Engineer will blow on the side of the barrel instead of the end of it while taunting.
  • This weapon and the Licence to Maim are collectively known in Poker Night at the Inventory as the Crimestomper Combo.
