'''Botkiller weapons''' are a special classification of [[items]]. They are signature [[Stock weapons]] for each class with either a [[Heavy Robot|robotic Heavy]] or [[Engineer Robot|robotic Engineer]]'s head with [[self-illumination|glowing]], team-colored eyes bound to the weapon with various belts, chains and wires, depending on the weapon. There are six types of Botkiller weapons: silver, gold, rust, blood, carbonado and diamond. All of the Botkiller weapons are [[Jiggle bones|Jiggleboned]]; Heavies', Pyros', Demomen's, Soldiers', Snipers', Medics' and Scouts' robotic Heavy heads will sway left and right according to the direction the player turns. On Engineers' and Spies' weapons, the mouth of the robotic Heavy head will open and close while the player moves around. The [[Sniper]]'s robot head has [[Headshot|a hole in its forehead]], the [[Demoman]]'s sports a metal eyepatch, and the [[Medic]]'s has its robotic brain exposed.

Botkiller weapons were added to the game with the [[Mann vs. Machine (update)|Mann vs. Machine update]] on {{Patch name|8|15|2012}}. To earn a Botkiller weapon, the player must complete a full Tour of Duty, and will be rewarded with a random Botkiller weapon at the end. While most weapons found will have rusty (from [[Operation Oil Spill]]), silver (from [[Operation Steel Trap]] and [[Operation Mecha Engine]]), or carbonado (from [[Operation Gear Grinder]]). A Heavy Robot head or an Engineer Robot head can be earned, depending on the mission. There is a small chance that bloody (from Operation Oil Spill), golden (from Operation Steel Trap and Operation Mecha Engine), or diamond (from Operation Gear Grinder) ones will be granted instead. Botkiller weapons will always be in [[strange]] quality. Engineer Botkiller weapons can only be obtained in Silver or Gold form.

Botkiller weapons are a special classification of items. They are signature Stock weapons for each class with either a robotic Heavy or robotic Engineer's head with glowing, team-colored eyes bound to the weapon with various belts, chains and wires, depending on the weapon. There are six types of Botkiller weapons: silver, gold, rust, blood, carbonado and diamond. All of the Botkiller weapons are Jiggleboned; Heavies', Pyros', Demomen's, Soldiers', Snipers', Medics' and Scouts' robotic Heavy heads will sway left and right according to the direction the player turns. On Engineers' and Spies' weapons, the mouth of the robotic Heavy head will open and close while the player moves around. The Sniper's robot head has a hole in its forehead, the Demoman's sports a metal eyepatch, and the Medic's has its robotic brain exposed.

Botkiller weapons were added to the game with the Mann vs. Machine update on August 15, 2012 Patch. To earn a Botkiller weapon, the player must complete a full Tour of Duty, and will be rewarded with a random Botkiller weapon at the end. Typically, obtained weapons will be rusty (from Operation Oil Spill), silver (from Operation Steel Trap and Operation Mecha Engine), or carbonado (from Operation Gear Grinder); however, there is a small chance that the respective types will instead be a bloody, golden, or diamond variation. Additionally, Engineer Botkiller weapons can only be obtained in Silver or Gold form, and Botkiller weapons are always in strange quality.

A Botkiller weapon's level will match the badge level for the current operation at the time it was issued and, as such, can exceed level 100. There is a level cap of 200.
