The Bottle is the default melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a brown, opaque glass bottle of Scrumpy marked with 'XXX' on the label and the year '1808'.

While this weapon operates similarly to most other default melee weapons, if a critical hit is achieved when striking a surface or player, the Bottle's lower half shatters and remains so until the player is killed (it does not mend upon touching a Resupply locker). This effect is purely cosmetic; the broken Bottle has the same range and deals the same damage it did prior to being broken.
