Imagine if I hadn't been drunk! Ah heh. Click to listen — The Demoman

”

The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and a year suggesting it was made in 1808.

While the weapon works similarly to most of the other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and will remain so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range, and deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.

The Bottle's critical hit animation is a swift downward swing.

Trivia

• Scrumpy is a type of strong cider made in the West Country of England. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles as this stops sunlight from spoiling the contents.
• Unused files display the bottle as that of whiskey or scotch as well.
• The 'XXX' logo can also be seen on the Reggaelator and Whoopee Cap.
• The bucket icons for the Bottle are team-specific, showing that there were RED and BLU versions of the Bottle.
• In the Demoman's animation files, there is an unused animation for a Bottle Kill taunt showing the Demoman flipping the Bottle over, catching it, offering the target opponent a drink, then smashing the Bottle into the face of the victim.
• Crouching, looking upwards, and walking while having the Bottle out results in the Demoman doing what is known as the "Demoman Pimp Walk".
