The Demopan on cowardly, undead horsemenn

The Demopan's Pantaker, commonly abbreviated as UDP or DP, is a melee weapon for the Demopan. It is the rustic, single-bladed axe wielded by the Horseless Headless Horsemann. The blade is chipped and worn in some places, sporting a malevolently-grinning face cut into its broad edge that is similar to the face commonly carved on pumpkins for Halloween.

This weapon functions in exactly the same way as the Eyelander.

The Demopan's Pantaker is available to anyone who has acquired the Haunted Metal Scrap before or after the Scream Fortress event by killing the Horsemann with a melee weapon; it may then be crafted through the prescribed blueprint.

Taunting with Demopan's Pantaker equipped will perform the Demopan's Decapitation kill taunt.

Bugs

  • Upon collecting 128 heads with this weapon, the counter will reset to 0. However, the player will still retain the health and speed bonus.
    • This bug is the result in an Template:W of the byte used to synchronize this variable.
  • Upon destroying an Engineer's building, the kill icon will be displayed as the normal kill icon for the Pantaker - with the upper half of a stick figure's body.
  • Due to a glitch, some early crafted Pantakers became tradable.
  • The kill icon for the Decapitation taunt using Demopan's Pantaker depicts the Panlander instead.
  • Decapitating a Sniper using the Bazaar Bargain who has heads on his counter will steal those heads as if they were another Demopan with collected heads.

Trivia
