The Batsaber is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a metallic tube with a rubberized grip that emits a team-colored beam of light, resembling the size and shape of the stock Bat. It emits an electronic noise when swung, regardless of whether it hits or misses.
Enemies killed by the Batsaber suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes while a loud, distinct vaporization sound plays. Like backstabs and headshots, there is a 25% chance of opponents performing a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way. This vaporization effect is shared among the energy weapons.
This weapon functions identically to the Bat.
The Batsaber was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
