“ | “If I were to pick up this cowering-plate, I would have to put down my second sword,” a Scotsman thinks. “And surely that is madness.”
The Chargin’ Targe solves this riddle by turning the useless shield into a deadly weapon you can run at people with and then bludgeon to death. — Close Combat Kit publicity blurb
|
” |
The Chargin' Targe is an unlockable secondary weapon for the خبير المتفجرات. It is an antique, blood-stained wooden shield with a painted yellow cross and reinforced by an iron rim with bolts and a deadly center spike. A portion of the shield is missing and splintered.
As it is a shield, simply equipping the Chargin' Targe provides the wearer with a passive +50% fire resistance and +30% explosive resistance. Additionally, the Chargin' Targe allows the Demoman to perform a Charging maneuver for 1.75 seconds (or 2.25 seconds if equipped with the Claidheamh Mòr), so long as the "Charge" bar in the HUD is completely full. Charging grants the Demoman a temporary burst of speed and sends him forward in an almost-fixed straight line. This charge allows the player to damage an opponent they come into direct contact with via a distance-scaling shield bash, and powers up the Demoman's next melee swing depending on the duration of his charge, with the maximum damage boost being a critical hit (even on melee weapons that cannot deal random critical hits). Charging also immediately removes the effects of afterburn, bleeding, Mad Milk, and Jarate.
Heads gathered by the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron increase the base damage of the bash by 5 damage each, at a maximum of 5 heads.
The Chargin' Targe is automatically given to any player who obtains 5 Demoman achievements.

Bugs
- This weapon does not glow in the world view when crit-boosted.
- The Festive variant does not glow when crit-boosted.
- While equipped, if the wearer spectates another player in first-person mode while dead, upon respawning the shield appears where the spectated player was while they respawned. The shield is non-interactive and can be seen through walls, textures, and players.
- The backpack image for the Chargin' Targe features the old and unused BLU skin for the weapon, rather than the yellow stripes the in-game version has.
Trivia
- The word targe generally refers to various types of infantry shields, often round in shape and notably used during the 13th to 16th centuries in the Scottish Highlands as the main means of personal defense in combat. It was decorated with designs possibly referring to the individual owner or their respective clan. Considering this, the front of the shield bears resemblance to the Team Fortress logo.
- The Highlanders were famous for their charges. A single-handed claymore would be held in the right hand and used to stab the enemy, the targe would be strapped to the left arm and used to parry sword or bayonet blows, and a small dagger held reversed in the left hand and overlapping the targe would be used to slash.
- Because the Chargin' Targe has a 50% fire damage reduction, it is possible for an overhealed Demoman to survive the Pyro's Hadouken taunt. The Hadouken deals 500 damage at point blank, which the Chargin' Targe halves to 250, and the Demoman's maximum health with overheal is 260.
