You're a looooooong way from France, boy.
The Engineer welcoming the Spy

The Southern Hospitality is a community-made melee weapon for the Engineer. It is a modified pipe wrench with a spiked knuckle guard and a sharp metal piece on the top.

Striking an opponent with this weapon causes them to bleed for five seconds. As a downside, this weapon does not deliver random critical hits, and players wielding it have a 20% fire vulnerability.

Switching from the Southern Hospitality to a different melee weapon will destroy all existing buildings.
