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

The Homewrecker deals double its listed damage to any enemy buildings. It is capable of destroying a Mini-Sentry in one hit, and any other unattended building in two. The Homewrecker is also able to destroy an enemy Sapper with a single swing. However, unlike the Engineer's melee weapons, it cannot repair damaged buildings. Additionally, the Homewrecker deals 25% less damage to enemy players.

The kill icon for the Homewrecker was contributed by NeoDement .
