“

That wasn't supposed ta happ'n! Click to listen — The Demoman, surprised at his self-destruction

”

The Ullapool Caber is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It appears as a disproportioned World War-era German Template:W Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with a white Mann Co. logo stamped on the head and black wrapping tape around the stick.

With this weapon, the first hit on any solid object or enemy (including a disguised Spy) will cause the explosives in the head to detonate, dealing massive explosive damage to both the Demoman and surrounding enemies. The Demoman will be propelled directly upwards by the explosion and will likely suffer fall damage upon landing. This weapon will not explode if struck against an ally or a friendly building.

After the Caber explodes, the Demoman will be left with only the remains of the grenade stick, which deals less damage than other Demoman melee weapons. Respawning or visiting a Resupply locker are the only ways to restore the grenade to its original state.

The kill icons for the Ullapool Caber were contributed by HyenaDip.

Bugs

• The Ullapool Caber currently has a visual bug in which it sometimes appears detonated when it is not. This can happen when hitting friendly buildings or Resupply doors as they open. Occasionally resupplying at the Resupply locker will still show the detonated Ullapool Caber. The effects can be fixed by switching weapons.
• When striking an enemy, the Ullapool Caber sometimes does not deliver the explosion damage. It still deals full explosion damage to the Demoman, but it only deals melee damage to the struck enemy. The Caber appears broken after such an event has occurred, but striking an object, wall, or enemy again causes a second explosion even without returning to a spawn cabinet.
• The weapon does not currently mini-crit when used with the Chargin' Targe or Splendid Screen.
• The Ullapool Caber currently uses the default Bottle hit sounds.
• Rarely, if a Demoman kills both himself and an enemy who had damaged him recently, the kill feed will record both players killing each other with an Ullapool Caber.
• Occasionally, after detonating the Ullapool Caber, switching to another weapon and back will result in the weapon appearing undetonated.
• If the command mp_usehwmvcds is set to 1 the taunt animation will not play and the player will be stuck in the idle pose for the duration of the taunt.
• The Ullapool Caber clips with the Demoman's hand in First-person view.
• If two enemies are killed in a single swing by the explosion and the player is launched skyward, the achievement Double Mauled Scotch can be earned.
• Attacking Pumpkin bombs does not explode the Ullapool Caber, but the model appears to have exploded.

Trivia

• Template:W is a town in the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands where the Demoman was born.
• A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
• The description "High-yield Scottish face removal" was taken directly from the promotional artwork that Swizzle created for his entry in the Polycount contest.
• Damage from the Ullapool Caber is spread across two rounds in quick succession. Melee damage is first dealt when the grenade hits the opponent while explosive damage is dealt as the grenade detonates. Therefore, if an attacked target has very little health, it will display the killicon associated with the Caber's melee damage, not explosion damage.
• The taunt used for the Ullapool Caber was present in game files and unused since the WAR! Update. This taunt was originally for the Bottle as a kill taunt.
• Sometimes referred to as the Boomstick.
