This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.
— Axtinguiser publicity blurb

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro class. A crude weapon, it consists of a stone axe head stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, taped to a wooden curved handle with a fabric grip and splintered end.

By itself, the weapon does half the damage of the regular Fire Axe, except against buildings. On the other hand, it will always perform a Critical hit against a target that is on fire, yet will never have Critical hits on a non-burning opponent (not even during Humiliation or charged by the Kritzkrieg). The weapon may perform the Crit animation when swung, complete with the correct sound effect, but will not inflict critical damage unless the struck opponent is alight. It should also be noted that, although the Pyro class cannot be set on fire, the Axtinguisher will always Crit on a Pyro within a very short time of him being hit by a Flame or Flare.

Trivia

  • On non-burning opponents, the Axtinguisher ties with the Gloves of Running Urgently and Equalizer at 200+ Health as being the weakest melee weapon in the game.
  • In the censored version of TF2 the Axtinguisher and the Übersaw are not stained with blood.
