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]].

While the Harvester is active, ~~some of the~~ afterburn damage is ~~returned as~~ health ~~to the~~ [[~~Pyro~~]], and as charge ~~for a critical hit~~. The weapon ~~heals 5 points of~~ health ~~for every tick of afterburn~~. ~~However upon the Pyro's death~~ all enemies who are suffering afterburn get extinguished. ~~Like~~ the ~~stock Fire Axe~~, ~~each~~ hit ~~deals~~ 65 ~~points of~~ damage per ~~swing and can be swung every~~ 0.8 ~~seconds~~. ~~It is best used by setting enemies on fire and retreating before pulling out this weapon to heal~~.

While the Harvester is the active weapon, [[afterburn]] damage dealt to an enemy by the [[Flame Thrower]] or the [[Flare Gun]] will heal the user by five health per tick (ten health per second) while increasing the Harvester's charge meter. If the user's health is full, the health gained does not turn into [[overheal]]. Separate instances of afterburn stack per enemy, linearly increasing the health and charge gained. The weapon also tracks the remaining afterburn on dead enemies, 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), causing the Harvester to glow and allowing a single guaranteed critical hit, expiring once an enemy is attacked. The critical hit will not be used up if attacking buildings, [[Ubered|Ubercharged]] enemies, or surfaces. 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.

== Trivia ==

* ~~This scythe, like most scythes in media~~ is ~~wrong~~. This is ~~neither~~ a ~~normal~~ farming scythe which usually ~~have 2 handles on it, nor is it~~ a ~~war scythe~~, ~~as war scythes have their blades facing outward. To~~ use ~~this~~ as a weapon you'd need to pull the ~~plade~~ towards yourself ~~which would be a detriment~~.

* There is currently a bug where pulling out the Harvester will appear to delete all the flame particles created by your [[Flame Thrower]]. This is only visual, and does not prevent enemies from being set on fire.

* Switching to another class then switching back to the Pyro will still enable the Harvester to gain charge.

* The chopped piece of wood bolted onto the Harvester's model suggests it's a repurposed farming scythe, which usually has an additional handle. As a result, to use it as a weapon in real life, you would need to pull the internal, sharp end of the blade towards yourself.
