The Beta Split Equalizer is a melee weapon for the Soldier that was tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Equalizer model.
There exist two variants of this weapon, though both share the disadvantage of being unable to call for Medics whilst it is active. For the Beta Split Equalizer 1, the movement speed of the player increases as their health diminishes, yet it delivers uniform damage regardless. For the Beta Split Equalizer 2, the damage dealt by the player increases as their health diminishes, yet does not provide any speed boosts.
The weapon has been removed from players backpacks as of the beta patch on November 9, 2011.

Scales inversely with health. Approximately 107.25 − 0.375 × H (113.7 minus 0.405 multiplied H), where H is the amount of health the player currently has as a percentage of their max health, with a minimum of 33 when the player is at or above 100% health, and a maximum of 107 (before random damage and critical hits).
