The Bootlegger is a community-created primary weapon for the Demoman. It is a single pirate's boot and a peg leg that replace the Demoman's standard boots.
This weapon functions identically to the Ali Baba's Wee Booties.
The Bootlegger was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
The backpack icon was contributed by smash.mn .

Bugs
- If the Spy changes their disguise from a different class to a Demoman wearing either Ali Baba's Wee Booties or the Bootlegger, their disguise weapon is that of the previous disguise. For example, if they were disguised as a Pyro wielding the Degreaser before changing to a Demoman wearing the Booties/Bootlegger, their disguise still wields the Degreaser, but is a Demoman to enemy players.
- The Bootlegger does not appear when inspecting it from the backpack menu.
- Getting a taunt kill with a melee weapon does not refill the charge meter.
Notes
- This item cannot be worn with any cosmetic boots or shoes, as they occupy the same equip region.
Trivia
- The term bootlegging originated from concealing hip flasks of alcohol in the legs of boots.
- This item was originally showcased in the Medieval Update, together with the rest of Swashbuckler's Swag set.
