The Homewrecker is a community-created melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a large, two-handed sledgehammer.

When wielded, this weapon deals double damage to enemy buildings. Its damage is capable of destroying a Mini-Sentry in one hit, and any other unattended building in two. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy a Sapper attached to a friendly building with a single swing. Unlike the Engineer's melee weapons, the Homewrecker cannot repair damaged buildings. Additionally, the Homewrecker will deal 25% less damage to enemies.

The kill icon for the Homewrecker was contributed by NeoDement .

Trivia

• While the Homewrecker was submitted with the name "Sledgehammer", the Homewrecker's original skin name was Mr Sledge, and was available as a skin for the Axtinguisher.
• The Pyro achievement Arsonist can be earned by destroying enemy Sappers. This is because Sappers are also buildings.
• The +100% damage to buildings attribute also applies to Sappers because Sappers are classified as buildings. That is why it can destroy Sappers in one hit; in comparison to wrenches and the Neon Annihilator which take two hits, it deals double damage to Sappers.
