Good hands, buddy!
The Scout to the Spy

The Unarmed Combat is a melee weapon for the Scout. It is the limp right arm of a team specific Spy, with a ripped glove and a protruding bone that serves as a handle.

This weapon functions similarly to the Holy Mackerel. However, it will display the phrase 'ARM KILL!' instead of 'FISH KILL!', and does not qualify as a piece of the Special Delivery item set.

The Unarmed Combat was a contribution to the Steam Workshop.

Update history

October 27, 2011 Patch (Very Scary Halloween Special)

  • The Unarmed Combat was added to the game.

June 27, 2012 Patch (Pyromania Update)

  • Fixed The Unarmed Combat's taunt not working
  • The Unarmed Combat's color now matches the team using it

Bugs

  • Upon hitting a Spy with the Dead Ringer out, the kill feed will not display 'ARM KILL!'. Instead, it will add to the number of times hit, thus notifying the player of the Spy's remaining presence.
  • After 24 hits on a single target, the weapon will no longer broadcast a hit announcement in the kill feed.
  • The Unarmed Combat does not glow when crit-boosted.
  • When hitting with the Unarmed Combat it will sometimes bend the wrist backwards or bend the elbow straight down.
  • If you assist an arm kill, it will not be highlighted in your kill feed like your other kills and assists.

Trivia

  • The description is a pun on the phrase "lending a hand" which means to help with a job or task.
  • According to the Steam Workshop, it was the creator's intention for the weapon to be of the enemy team's colour, so RED Scouts would be holding the arms of BLU Spies (and vice versa).
