Axtinguisher
“ | This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.
— Axtinguisher publicity blurb
|
” |
The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a crudely constructed fire axe consisting of a slightly rusted axe-head, stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and a splintered end.
Compared to the stock Fire Axe, the Axtinguisher deals 33% less damage, holsters 35% slower, and does not roll for random critical hits. When attacking targets that are on fire, however, it is guaranteed to deal mini-crit damage, along with an increase in base damage depending on the remaining duration of the afterburn, at the cost of extinguishing the target on hit. Killing a burning target with the Axtinguisher will grant a 35% movement speed boost for 4 seconds.
The Axtinguisher is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Pyro achievements.
