— Saxxy publicity blurb

The Saxxy is a melee socket weapon for all classes with limited availability. It is an Australium-plated statuette of Saxton Hale set into a small plinth.

This weapon acts similar to each class's default melee weapon, sharing the same statistics and abilities. As such, Spies can perform backstabs and Engineers can upgrade their buildings.

The Saxxy was awarded to the winners of the First Annual Saxxy Awards in their respective categories.

Trivia

  • The model of the Saxxy was added to the game's weapon files upon the initial announcement of the Saxxy Awards.
  • As a Spy, although the Saxxy can be used to backstab enemies, the Spy does not hold the Saxxy in the striking position when in a 180° radius of an enemy.
