Ah, that's the stuff!
The Demoman on ammo's healing benefits

The Persian Persuader is a community-made melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a Template:W with a brass hilt and a bloodied blade.

Having the weapon equipped doubles the recharge rate of the charge of the Chargin' Targe and Splendid Screen, allowing for more frequent charging. In addition, it converts any ammo collected into health. This only affects ammo pickups, building gibs, and dropped weapons; ammo cannot be collected from Dispensers and cart. Resupply lockers are unaffected.

Similar to the Eyelander, this weapon has a large melee range and cannot roll for random critical hits unless forced by a Kritzkrieg, Victory, a Chargin' Targe or Splendid Screen.

Taunting with the Persian Persuader will perform the Demoman's Decapitation kill taunt.

Bugs

  • In first-person view, the Demoman's pinkie finger does not grip the handle. This is because the weapon uses the same hand posing as the Saxxy and the new Frying Pan grip.
  • While performing the Decapitation taunt, the Demoman appears to hold the weapon by its hilt, which clips through his hand.
    • The Demoman will briefly wield the Persian Persuader with his two-handed weapon world model at the beginning and end of the Decapitation taunt.

Trivia

  • The creator of both the Persian Persuader and the Sultan's Ceremonial had intended them to be a reference to the Template:W.[1]
  • On the bottom of the hilt of the sword, there is a carving of the Loch Ness monster.
