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.

The Bottle's critical hit animation is a swift downward swing that breaks the bottle.

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.
  • Despite being empty, the Bottle makes a "sloshing" sound when the Demoman drinks from it during its taunt. Additionally, the Demoman still wipes his lips and burps after "drinking".
  • The year on the bottle suggests that the scrumpy is over 160 years old, considering that Team Fortress 2 takes place around roughly the 1960's.
