The Boston Boom-Bringer is a community-created cosmetic item for the Scout. It is a gray, orange, and team-colored boombox that is strapped on top of the Scout's default messenger bag.
Whenever the Scout taunts, the Boston Boom Bringer plays one of four unique audio clips. This does not apply to special taunts, however.
The Boston Boom-Bringer was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
