The Scout on edible weaponry

The Candy Cane is a melee weapon for the Scout. It is an oversized, white and team-colored candy cane with a like-colored ribbon wrapped around it in a double-looped parallel bow.

This weapon has the same basic stats as the default Bat, but small health packs will be dropped by slain enemies if they are killed with any weapon while the Candy Cane is equipped. Health packs do not drop on any kill that counts as being "finished off" and from feigned deaths. The Candy Cane drops a secondary health kit in addition to the one dropped normally in Medieval Mode. Equipping the Candy Cane will make the Scout 25% more vulnerable to damage from explosives such as rockets, grenades, stickybombs, the Ullapool Caber, and the Soldier's Kamikaze taunt kill.

The kill icon for the Candy Cane was contributed by Psyke .

Bugs

  • The health pack dropped by the Candy Cane will not restore the recharge bar of any of the Heavy's lunchbox items.
    • If, however, the Heavy is able to collect the health pack dropped from his death, he will be able to instantly recharge his lunchbox item as normal.
  • If a Scout dies using the kill or explode command with the Candy Cane equipped he will also drop a small healthkit.

Trivia

  • The level of the weapon refers to Christmas on December 25th.
