The Flying Guillotine is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a meat cleaver with the Chinese characters for "dead meat" (死肉, sǐròu) above the grip.
It is a ranged weapon that can be thrown at enemies to damage them, causing bleed damage, but it has no effect against buildings or after bouncing off a surface. Throwing the weapon from a far enough distance and hitting an enemy will result in a mini-crit. Hitting enemies that are stunned will result in a guaranteed critical hit, however the weapon will not deal random critical hits. Once the weapon is thrown, it will recharge after approximately six seconds. Unlike the projectile of the Sandman or Wrap Assassin, it cannot be picked up from the ground to refill the meter. Like most projectiles, the cleaver can be reflected by an enemy Pyro's Compression blast. The cleaver flies in arc.
The Flying Guillotine has two different styles, Thirsty and Thirstier. Thirstier adds bloodstains to the blade of the weapon.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Flying Guillotine was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
