The Scout on edible weaponry

The Candy Cane is a melee weapon for the Scout. It is an oversized, white and team-colored candy cane with a like-colored ribbon wrapped around it in a double-looped parallel bow.

This weapon has the same basic stats as the default Bat, but small health packs will be dropped by slain enemies if they are killed with any weapon while the Candy Cane is equipped. Health packs also drop on any kill that counts as being "finished off", but do not drop from feigned deaths. The Candy Cane drops a secondary health kit in addition to the one dropped normally in Medieval Mode. Equipping the Candy Cane will make the Scout 25% more vulnerable to damage from explosives such as rockets, grenades, stickybombs, the Ullapool Caber, and the Soldier's Kamikaze taunt kill. In servers that multiply your weapon's stats by ten, the Candy Cane will drop a large health pack rather than a small one.

The kill icon for the Candy Cane was contributed by 76561197976113694.
