Powerjack publicity blurb

The Powerjack is a community-made melee weapon for the Pyro. It is an antique automobile jack with a team-colored car battery strapped to its base with heavy, yellow rubber bands.

This weapon deals identical damage to the Fire Axe, and upon killing an enemy with this weapon, the player will be awarded 75 health. When this weapon is active, the player suffers from an additional 20% weakness to melee weapons.

Should the player's health exceed 100% due to the health bonus, the remaining health will be applied as an overheal, giving the user up to a maximum of 260 health; this extra health will diminish over time in the same manner as a standard overheal.

The kill icon for the Powerjack was contributed by [HoV] Psyke.
