The '''Brick''' is a [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for the [[Scout]] | {{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.}} | ||
The '''Brick''' is a [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for the [[Scout]]. It is a red-colored, three-holed masonry brick. The Brick appears red regardless of which team the user is on, leaving a team-colored trail when thrown. | |||
The Scout only holds one Brick at a time, recharging six seconds after it is thrown. While in the air, it travels in an arc as a projectile. When thrown [[water|underwater]], it will have reduced velocity. Hitting a target with the Brick will deal 65 damage regardless of range, knocking back the target based on the angle of impact. The Brick will also deal mini-crits on long distance throws when it has been airborne for 0.6 seconds. The amount of damage done has no effect on the knockback, and will knock back [[Medi Gun|ÜberCharged]] enemies. It can only deal damage once per throw, cannot deal any damage once it impacts an object, and cannot be picked back up once thrown. The Brick can damage [[buildings]] as well as players. Like most projectiles, the Brick can be [[Compression blast|deflected]] by an enemy [[Pyro]]. | |||

== Trivia == | |||
* The Brick is based on an unused projectile entity/throwable in ''Team Fortress 2'', {{code|tf_projectile_brick}}. | |||
* According to ''TF2 Classified'' developer {{Dev|ultr4nima}}, the Brick was originally added as a base, test weapon for a generic throwable, but was officially added for the ''Fight or Flight update'' "after gaining positive feedback."[https://discord.com/channels/196337717267791874/196337717267791874/1346784481713066014] | |||
* Using a resupply cabinet soon after throwing the Brick causes the viewmodel to disappear until the Brick is thrown, or the user switches weapons. | |||
* The Brick was revealed several days early in promotional art for [[L'escampette]], where the Brick's kill icon can be seen on a barrel. | |||
