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

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro. A crude weapon, it consists of a slightly rusted axe-head stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and a 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. The weapon may perform the Crit animation when swung, complete with the correct sound effect, but it will not inflict critical damage unless the victim is alight. If influenced by a Crit boost, the Axtinguisher will achieve a Critical hit but will still be affected by its 50% damage reduction if the target is not on fire.

Trivia

Axtinguisher concept design
  • Pyros will catch fire briefly when they are damaged by a Flamethrower or are hit by the Flare Gun. Due to this, two or more Pyros can work together to axtinguish enemy Pyros. It is even possible to do this solo with the Degreaser's faster weapon switch time.
  • In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Axtinguisher and the Übersaw are not stained with blood.
