HEAVY ENOUGH TO KILL A MAN WITH!
Saxxy Awards publicity blurb

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

This weapon acts identically to the default melee weapon of each class, sharing the same statistics and abilities. As such, Spies can perform backstabs and Engineers can upgrade their buildings. Its distinguishing feature, however, is that enemies killed by it will turn into motionless golden statues of pure Australium instead of ragdolls, a trait shared with the Golden Wrench. This gold effect applies to jiggle bones which freeze in place.

The Saxxy was awarded to the winners of the First Annual Saxxy Awards in their respective categories. Winning entries created by more than one player resulted in Saxxys being bestowed to each contributor; the award was not limited to the submitter.

Bugs

  • The Saxxy has been allocated many unfitting class taunts and sound effects, such as those of the Demoman's Bottle, the Pyro's melee taunt, and the Scout's Bat.
  • The Saxxy does not have distinguishing kill icons for backstabs, the Fencing taunt, or the Showdown taunt.
  • The Saxxy does not Cloak with the Spy during first person view.
  • Voice responses related to melee weapons have no discretion when the Saxxy is equipped.
  • Miscellaneous and slot items equipped will not be frozen upon death by this weapon.
  • In world view the Engineer holds the Saxxy with the same animation as his default Wrench, with both hands. However in client view he holds it with one hand like everyone else.
  • Certain weapons such as the Chargin' Targe or the Showdown taunt create golden statues despite the Saxxy not technically being the killing weapon.
  • If a backstab with this weapon triggers an animation on the target, they will appear to turn into gold, but the body behaves like a normal ragdoll.
  • Many classes do not have dedicated critical hit swing animations for the Saxxy.
  • A Heavy with the Saxxy as his active weapon can continue to attack while stunned, albeit with invisible animations.

Trivia

  • As with a Golden Wrench, in the event a Saxxy is deleted by its owner, a message will be broadcast in-game to all players.
    • The message, in it's entirety is "<User> has destroyed their Saxxy, awarded for <Category>!"
