The '''Fire Axe''' is the stock melee weapon for the [[Pyro]]. It is a firefighter's axe with its head (but not blade) painted a worn-out red color, atop a curved wooden handle. The axe head appears red regardless of which team the user is on.

Like ~~every other generic stock~~ melee ~~weapon~~, each ~~hits~~ deals 65 points of damage and can be swung every 0.8 seconds. ~~This~~ weapon is ~~best used as either~~ a ~~back up~~ if the ~~users ammo supply is depleted or~~ a ~~finishing tool when their opponent is at low health~~.

Like most melee weapons, each hit deals 65 points of damage, and can be swung every 0.8 seconds. As the Pyro specializes in close-range damage, especially that of their [[Flame Thrower]], the utility of such a weapon is questionable. Regardless, the Pyro's average speed and above-average health means they have a higher chance of connecting their hits without dying. The Fire Axe's ability to deal 195 damage on a [[random crit]] gives the user a chance to immediately kill most classes, with a potent backup in the Flame Thrower if the enemy survives. This makes the Fire Axe a slightly more viable melee weapon compared to other classes, but still unimpressive compared to the Pyro's primary and secondary weapons.

* Unlike other weapons such as the [[Flare Gun]] or the [[Überspritze]] which are team-colored, the Fire Axe is always colored red no matter which team is selected.
