'Kaboom', indeed, you drunken wretch!
The Spy

The Ullapool Caber is a melee weapon for the Demoman and was released as part of the The Expert's Ordnance set. It appears as a World War II-era German Template:W Stielhandgranate "potato masher" grenade, with the Mann Co. logo stamped on the head.

While the weapon deals greatly reduced melee damage normally, on the first hit on a solid object or enemy the highly-unstable Scottish explosives in the head detonate, dealing massive explosive damage to the Demoman and surrounding enemies and propelling him upward. Both the melee damage and initial explosive damage both never Critically hit randomly, but both do Crit when guaranteed to do so, as during a Chargin' Targe charge. Respawning or visiting a Resupply Locker restores the grenade to its original state.

Bugs

  • The Ullapool Caber currently has a visual bug in which it sometimes appears detonated when it is not.
  • When striking an enemy, the Ullapool Caber sometimes does not deliver the explosion damage. It still deals full explosion damage to the Demoman, but it only deals melee damage to the struck enemy. The Caber appears broken after such an event has occurred, but striking an object, wall, or enemy again causes a second explosion even without returning to a spawn cabinet.
  • The weapon does not currently Mini-Crit when used with the Chargin' Targe.
  • Striking an ally with the weapon while friendly fire is enabled will not set it off.
  • Sometimes the weapon will appear invisible in the Demoman's hand in world view.

Trivia

The Ullapool Caber after detonation
  • Template:W is the town from the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands where the Demoman was born.
  • A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
  • Hitting an ally with the Ullapool Caber does not set it off. Hitting a disguised Spy however, does detonate the Ullapool Caber.
  • The description "High-yield Scottish face removal" was taken directly from the promotional artwork that Swizzle created for his entry in the Polycount contest.
  • It is possible to negate the self-damage of the Ullapool Caber's explosion by equipping the Sticky Jumper. This does not negate the self damage in Medieval Mode.
  • The Ullapool Caber damage is spread across two rounds in quick succession. Melee damage is dealt first when the grenade hits the opponent, explosive damage is dealt when the grenade detonates.
