Festive Scattergun
Level 1 Scattergun

Festive weapons are a special classification of items. They are Weapons for each class wrapped in blinking Christmas lights powered by a battery pack, similar to the ones found on the Industrial Festivizer. Some also have dangling bells, light bulbs, baubles, ribbons, or a different texture. Festive weapons were added to the game during the Australian Christmas 2011, the Mecha Update and the Smissmas 2013 events.

The lights are green, yellow, and team-colored, even though the backpack icons depict both red and blue colors being on a weapon at the same time. The only exception is the Festive Stickybomb Launcher's lights, which are all white when its default style is selected.

They function exactly the same as normal weapons. The visual additions are purely cosmetic changes and have no effect on gameplay. Festive items could only be found by unlocking Naughty Winter Crates and are available in both Unique and Strange quality, though the Strange versions are much rarer.

Bugs

  • Festive Crusader's Crossbow and Festive Sapper do not appear in the Mann Co. Catalog.
  • Festive Sapper always appears in RED on sapped building, regardless the team.
  • Festive Force-A-Nature's taunt animation uses the Scattergun's instead of the Force-A-Nature's taunt animation. Therefore, the Scout does not hold the Festive variant correctly while taunting when compared with normal variant in world view.
  • Festive Axtinguisher and Festive Sandvich do not glow when crit-boosted.
  • The lights of the 2011 Festive weapons disappear on death.
