Good Scouts drink Bonk. And good ones beat the crap out of every single chucklehead in their way! But this bat is the harder thing to bonk with.
Atomizer publicity blurb

The Atomizer is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is an aluminum bat with a black ribbed grip, and the Bonk! logo emblazoned on it surrounded by team-colored stripes and bands.

The Atomizer grants the wielder the ability to triple jump, which deals 10 damage to the Scout for each third jump. When performing a double or triple jump with the Atomizer equipped, a cloud of purple smoke will trail behind the Scout, as opposed to the normal white cloud. As a downside, the Atomizer has a 30% slower swing speed and deals 20% less damage to players. However, it will do the same amount of damage as the Bat to non-player objects such as buildings.

Taunting with the Atomizer equipped will perform the Home Run kill taunt.

October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Update)

  • Changed attributes:
    • Triple-jump is now only possible while the bat is deployed.
    • Removed self-inflicted damage when triple-jumping.
    • Removed attack speed penalty.
    • Melee attacks done while airborne mini-crit.
    • Added 50% deploy time penalty.
    • Reduced damage penalty vs players to -15%.

Trivia

  • The Atomizer was originally named The Atomic Punch.[1]
  • The self-damage from a successful triple-jump is typed as bullet damage, so bullet damage resistance (such as what can be purchased from an Upgrade Station) reduces the self-damage accordingly. Bullet damage resistance does not reduce the potency of the third jump.
    • As a result, healing the Scout with a Vaccinator set on bullet damage resistance can also reduce the damage from the third jump.
    • This also means that when holding the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol, the damage received from the jump is increased due to the +20% damage received attribute, thus resulting the damage taken being 12 instead of the usual 10.
