{{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.}}

== Trivia ==

* According to ''TF2 ~~Classic~~'' developer {{Dev|ultr4nima}}, ~~"[t]he~~ Brick was originally added as a test weapon for a generic throwable, but ~~after positive feedback it~~ was ~~turned into a weapon~~ for Fight ~~for~~ Flight ~~last minute [''sic~~'']"

* 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.
