HEAVY ENOUGH TO KILL A MAN WITH!
Saxxy Awards page

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

This weapon acts identically 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.

Update History

June 8, 2011 Patch

  • The Saxxy was added to the game.

Bugs

  • The Saxxy is allocated many unfitting class taunts, such as those of the Demoman's Bottle and the Pyro's melee taunt.
  • Every class is given the Buff Banner's backpack model when equipping this weapon.
  • 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.
  • Despite the unique kill icon used when using this item, backstabbing as a spy with this weapon uses the regular backstab kill icon.

Trivia

  • In game files this weapon has hidden ability "can_modify_sockets".
  • While the First Annual Saxxy Awards promotional video reveals that the Saxxy is 75% made of Australium, the blog post promoting the announcement of the contest winners refers to it as a "handsome 100% Australium-plated Saxton Hale statuette", adding further vagueness to its actual composition.
