The Southern Hospitality Level 1 - 100 Wrench On Hit: Bleed for 5 seconds No random critical hits 20% fire damage vulnerability on wearer

“

You're a looooooong way from France, boy. Click to listen — The Engineer welcoming the Spy

”

The Southern Hospitality is a community-created melee weapon for the Engineer. It is a modified pipe wrench with a spiked knuckle guard and a sharp metal spike on the top.

Striking an opponent with this weapon causes them to bleed for five seconds. As a downside, this weapon does not deliver random critical hits, and players wielding it have a 20% increase in fire vulnerability.

Switching from this weapon to the Gunslinger will destroy the sentry the player has built. Similarly, switching to this weapon from the Gunslinger will cause the Gunslinger’s Combat Mini-Sentry Gun to be destroyed.

Trivia

• The Southern Hospitality, as with the Frontier Justice, the Wrangler and the Gunslinger, appears to have been designed by Radigan Conagher, the Engineer's grandfather. This is shown by a hidden link in the Engineer Update.
• The name "Southern Hospitality" is derived from the same phrase describing the warm and welcoming American South.
• With the Mann-Conomy Update and by extension the release of the Mann Co. Store, the creator of the Southern Hospitality emailed Valve co-founder and managing director Gabe Newell to thank him for his item's inclusion. Newell responded to this by purchasing 10,000 Southern Hospitalities from the Mann Co. Store.^{[citation needed]}
• Unlike other Engineer melee weapons, the Strange variant of the Southern Hospitality ranks up based on melee kills, not Sentry Gun kills.
