The Persian Persuader is a community-created melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a scimitar with a brass hilt and a bloodied blade.
Having the weapon equipped doubles the recharge rate of the charge of the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen, or Tide Turner, allowing for more frequent charging. In addition, it converts any ammo collected into health. This only affects ammo pickups, building gibs, and dropped weapons; ammo cannot be collected from Dispensers or carts. Resupply lockers are unaffected.
Similar to the Eyelander, this weapon has a large melee range and cannot deal random critical hits, forcing players to rely on the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen or Tide Turner's special ability or a crit boost to deliver any critical hits.
Taunting with the Persian Persuader equipped will perform the Decapitation kill taunt.
