{{Quotation|'''Brick''' [https://tf2classic.com/fight_or_flight/supplycrate promotional blurb]|When guns and swords were out of reach, throwing heavy objects was part and parcel for history's little guys. A brick lying in the debris of a broken store window is a noble stand against faceless corporate evil. Carry the Brick with pride, Scout, because even though you're a hired thug fighting on the side of faceless corporate evil, you're still just a little guy.}} | {{Quotation|'''Brick''' [https://tf2classic.com/fight_or_flight/supplycrate promotional blurb]|When guns and swords were out of reach, throwing heavy objects was part and parcel for history's little guys.

It is a red-colored, three-holed masonry brick. The Brick appears red regardless of which team the user is on, and leaves a team-colored trail when thrown. | ||
The Scout | The Scout holds one Brick that recharges six seconds after being thrown. Hitting a target with the Brick will deal 65 damage, as well as knocking them back even if they're [[Medi Gun|ÜberCharged]]. It will also deal mini-crits if it's been airborne for over 0.6 seconds. The amount of damage done has no effect on the knockback. | ||
The Brick cannot deal any damage once it impacts an enemy or surface, and cannot be picked back up once thrown. When thrown [[water|underwater]], it will have reduced velocity. Like most projectiles, the Brick can be [[Compression blast|deflected]] by an enemy [[Pyro]]. | |||
