“

Why don't you bring that little mink stole over here and show me how stupid my wrapping paper is? — The Scout to Old Nick

”

The Wrap Assassin is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a ripped, team-colored roll of spotted wrapping paper accompanied by a team-colored bauble.

Acting similarly to the Sandman, pressing alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) will cause the player to launch the bauble as a projectile. Compared to the Sandman, the Wrap Assassin's projectiles has a 25% faster recharge rate, giving the player more frequent shots, but the weapon itself only deals 35% of the Bat's damage, making it inefficient for melee combat.

Upon colliding with an enemy, the bauble shatters into glass shards and snowflakes, delivering damage and bleed for five seconds on a direct hit. The bauble also shatters on surfaces and players, dealing very minor damage (5 damage) to players that are within a small radius of its shatter effect; this does not cause bleeding, and can affect the player if he is close enough. If the projectile hits someone at an extreme distance, the victim will receive a guaranteed critical hit from the bauble (bleed is not affected), and the player will hear a cheering crowd sound effect. Baubles explode on all surfaces and also after traveling a set distance (about slightly more than a Sandman ball's Home Run distance), but can be picked up whilst airborne to recharge the ball meter. Baseballs can be picked up from the ground to recharge the ball meter.

A hidden attribute causes the Wrap Assassin's baubles to have a significantly lower maximum distance compared to the Sandman's baseballs, due to the differences in mass and size of each weapon's respective balls giving them unique projectile physics. This also affects the bauble's travel speed and arc, although this is only significant over long distances.

The Wrap Assassin was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Ball Buster".
