Caltrop (Classic)
The Caltrop is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress games. It is only used by the Scout. When the “secondary grenade” key is hit, a second passes, then the player releases six caltrops in a circle pattern. When an enemy walks on a caltrop, they will suffer a small amount of damage and their maximum speed will decrease (equivalent to a legshot from the Sniper Rifle). The effects of a caltrop can be stacked. The person that released the Caltrops can be hurt by their own Caltrops and will suffer from the maximum speed penalty an enemy would.
Damage
Low for each Caltrop stepped on.
