The '''Harvester''' is a melee weapon for the [[Pyro]]. It is a scythe with a crooked wood handle and a damaged, curved blade bolted on. It deals the same damage and has the same attack speed as the [[Fire Axe]].

The user still gains health even after the charge meter is full. The amount of damage dealt has no effect on the health and charge gained.

This crit will heal the user by 195 health, whether or not the enemy dies, and will overheal them if they're at full health. This does not happen if the Harvester is boosted by other means, such as by the [[Kritzkrieg]].

The Harvester

Scythe

Burning victims fill crit meter while active

On Hit: Steal health from your victim while meter is full

+3 health gain per afterburn tick while active

On Death: Burning victims are extinguished

No random critical hits


"Ask not for whom the bell tolls."

A grisly utility melee that's as fearsome and traumatizing as the Halloween store animatronic it probably belongs to. With the Harvester held out, some of the afterburn damage you dish out (even on your victims' charred remains!) will be returned to you as health and charge for a decapitating crit-slash! Everyone you set on fire is instantly extinguished when you die, though, so don't be surprised if your marks fight back harder than you're used to.

Harvester promotional blurb

The Harvester is an alternate melee weapon for the Pyro. It's a scythe with a crooked wood handle and a damaged, curved blade bolted on. When equipped, it will appear on the Pyro's back while inactive.

While active, afterburn damage dealt to enemies by the Flame Thrower or the Flare Gun will heal the user by three health per tick (six health per second), along with increasing the Harvester's charge meter, which will stack if multiple enemies are on fire. The Harvester's healing cannot overheal the user, and if the charge meter is full, its healing is disabled entirely until an enemy is attacked with it. The weapon also tracks the remaining afterburn on dead enemies (including extinguished corpses, such as those in water), gaining the same health and charge as when they were alive. As a penalty, all enemies who are suffering afterburn get extinguished upon the Pyro's death.

The charge meter fills up after 30 ticks of afterburn (15 seconds), allowing for 90 points of healing per charge. When fully charged, the Harvester will allow a guaranteed critical hit, marked by a critical glow (including when not active) and a bell sound audible to all players. This crit will heal the user by 195 health, whether or not the enemy dies, and will overheal them if they're at full health. This does not happen if the Harvester is boosted by other means, such as by the Kritzkrieg. The crit will also not be used up when attacking buildings, ÜberCharged enemies, or surfaces.

The Harvester will decapitate enemies killed by critical hits, and will gain a blood splatter on its blade that persists until the user respawns or goes underwater.
