The Pyro on customized tools

The Powerjack is a melee weapon for the Pyro. It appears as an antique automobile jack with a team colored car battery strapped to its base with heavy, yellow rubber bands.

This weapon deals identical damage to the Fire Axe, and upon killing an enemy with this weapon, the player will be awarded 75 health. When out, the player suffers from a 20% weakness to melee weapons.

Should the player's health reach, equal, or exceed 100% upon killing an enemy, the remaining health will be applied as an overheal, giving the user up to a maximum of 260 health. This extra health depletes over time, in the same manner as a standard overheal.
