The Southern Hospitality is a community-made melee weapon for the Engineer. It appears as a modified pipe wrench with a spiked knuckle guard and a sharp metal piece on the top.
Striking an opponent with this weapon causes them to bleed, allowing players to track fleeing Cloaked Spies. On the other hand, this weapon does not deliver random critical hits, and players wielding it have a 20% fire vulnerability.
Switching from the Southern Hospitality to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings.

Update history
July 8, 2010 Patch (Engineer Update)
- The item was added to the game.
- Engineers who hit teammate Sentry Guns with their Wrench now get kill assists from that Sentry Gun.
- Fixed melee attacks not destroying remote detonation pipes (Stickybombs).
- [Undocumented] The crafting cost for the Jag was reduced from two Scrap Metal + Southern Hospitality to one Scrap Metal + Southern Hospitality.
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. It is an ironic statement considering the fact that it is a weapon causing excessive bleeding.
- WatchMaker suggested the name 'Beat All' when he submitted the model. [1]
- The console previously listed the weapon name as the "Southern Comfort", and is still refered to in the game files.
