The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro in Team Fortress 2. It is an unlockable replacement for the default Fire Axe. Its appearance is that of a Fire Axe that has a few noticeable changes. Its wooden handle has been
broken, and the axe head is wrapped with barbed wire. It minicrits burning players on hit then extinguishing them. The damage of the hit increases based on how much afterburn is left. On kill it grants a speed boost. At the cost of these stats it has a 33% damage reduction compared to stock doing 44 damage instead of 65 and it has a 35% slower holster speed. These stats make it so it's good for finishing of enemy's you set on fire. It's also good for combos ideal with the [1]Degreaser, [2]Dragon's Fury, [3]Flare Gun and the [4]Detonator. What is lacks is consistency the [5]Fire Axe does better, as well as being better to fight enemy pyros . Despite this, the Axtinguisher is still an excellent melee for [6]Pyro
