The Crowbar (Axe in Quake Team Fortress) is a melee weapon used in Team Fortress Classic. It serves as the melee weapon for classes that do not have a unique alternative. It is used by most classes except for the Civilian (TFC Only), Medic, Engineer, and Spy classes.
Overview
- The Axe or Crowbar is generally a weapon of last resort or a close quarters combat alternative to conserve ammo. Using it in any other situation would be an unwise decision, due to its low damage. Unlike melee weapons in Team Fortress 2, where melee weapons can be used strategically and as an effective tactic, the Crowbar in Team Fortress Classic and Axe in Quake World Team Fortress are almost purely last resort.
- Using it against highly armored and healthed classes such as the Soldier or Heavy would be useless, unless these are severely wounded and need to be finished off, along with humiliation.
- Each successful hit deals 18 damage points.
