The Demoman

The Ullapool Caber is a melee weapon for the Demoman. It appears as a World War II-era German Template:W "Stielhandgranate" grenade], with the Mann Co. logo stamped on the head.

The explosives contained in the metal "head" of the grenade are extremely unstable, and will explode upon striking against either a solid object (such as a wall, floor, etc) or an enemy, consistently dealing 100 damage to the user, as well as propelling him upward in the ensuing blast. Once the grenade explodes, the twisted metal shards of the grenade inflict slightly reduced melee damage. Respawning or visiting a Resupply Locker will restore the grenade to working order.

Bugs

  • Hitting an object or enemy will cause a glass hit sound effect, proving that the Ullapool Caber is a replacement model for the Bottle.
  • When equipped with the Sticky Jumper, the explosion will not harm the user.
  • The Ullapool Caber currently has a visual bug where it looks detonated while it isn't.

Trivia

  • Template:W is a town from the Ross and Cromarty area in the Scottish Highlands. It also happens to be the Demoman's Birthplace.
  • A caber is a long wooden pole (usually a section from the trunk of a tree) that is thrown as a feat of strength during the Template:W event of the Scottish Highland Games.
  • Hitting an ally with the Ullapool Caber will not set it off. The Demoman may be in for a nasty surprise if he hits a disguised Spy instead.
  • "High-yield Scottish face removal" was part of this item's Polycount Pack description.
