This article is about the Demoman's default melee weapon. For other uses, 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 the year '1808'.

While this weapon operates similarly to most other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and remains so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This effect is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range and deals the same damage it did prior to being broken.
