“

This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.

— Axtinguisher publicity blurb

”

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro class. It is a crudely constructed Fire Axe consisting of a slightly rusted axe-head, stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and a splintered end.

Compared to the stock Fire Axe, the Axtinguisher deals 33% less damage, possesses a 35% slower holster speed, and does not roll for random critical hits. While attacking targets that are on fire, however, it is guaranteed to deal mini-crit damage, along with an increase in base damage depending on the remaining duration of the afterburn, at the cost of extinguishing them. Additionally, killing a burning target will grant a 35% speed boost for 4 seconds.

The Axtinguisher is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Pyro achievements.

Trivia

Although Pyros are resistant to afterburn (with the exception of being soaked by the Gas Passer), they can be mini-crit by the Axtinguisher if the hit connects before resistance takes effect.
In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Axtinguisher and Ubersaw are not stained with blood, but otherwise remain unchanged.
The attribute "Sketchek's Bequest" in the description is a reference to the well-known Pyro player Sketchek. He was famous for his creative and high-skill gameplay, one aspect of this including unique mastery of the Axtinguisher. "Bequest" is the title of this public video he uploaded.
