This article is about the Demoman's stock melee weapon. For other bottles, see Bottle (disambiguation).
Ay, me bottle o' scrumpy!
The Demoman

The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown, opaque glass bottle of scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and a year suggesting it was made in 1808.

While the weapon works similarly to most of the other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and will remain so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range and deals no more or less damage than it did prior to being broken.

Trivia

  • Scrumpy is a type of strong cider traditionally brewed in the West Country of England. Liquor is usually stored in dark-colored bottles, as this prevents sunlight from spoiling the contents.
  • The 'XXX' logo refers to how alcohol is commonly portrayed in cartoons to avoid copyright infringement. It is also a reference to the traditional way of rating alcohol strength, 3 X's being the strongest.
  • The bucket icons for the Bottle are team-specific, showing that there were once RED and BLU versions of the Bottle.
