Eyelander/no

For the haunted sword as it appears in the comics, se here.
You don’t kill a man by mucking about with rifles, arrows, rocks, or other long-distance rubbish. You kill him by grabbing the biggest bloody sword you can find, running up nice and close to him, and chopping the dumb bastard’s head off.
Eyelander publicity blurb

The Eyelander is an unlockable melee weapon for the Demoman. It is a large bloodstained and battle-worn claymore reputed to be haunted by a bloodthirsty, malevolent spirit. As such, the blade occasionally mutters "heads" when held. The Festive variant replaces the blade's metal with what appears to be ice, then wrapped above the hilt with a team-colored bow, the cross-guard being covered in Festive lights, the grip being painted like a candy cane, and the pommel replaced with a jingle bell.

Along with having a 50% longer range than most melee weapons (long enough to strike Teleporters without crouching) as well as a 75% slower deploy/holster speed (taking 0.875 seconds rather than 0.5 seconds to switch between another weapon and the Eyelander), the Eyelander reduces the wielder's health by 25, resulting in a total of 150 base health points. It also cannot deal random critical hits, forcing players to rely on the special charging ability of the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen, or Tide Turner or a crit boost to deliver any (Mini-)Crits.

The main benefit of the weapon is that it decapitates enemies upon a kill, and doing so increases the Demoman's base speed by 8% and base health by 15, as well as healing the Demoman for 15 health. This bonus continues to grow with each beheading until the player has collected a maximum of 4 heads, at which point the Demoman's speed is capped at 370 Hammer units per second (slightly slower than a Scout) and health is capped at 210. At this point, collecting another head only provides the healing. If this healing puts the Demoman over his maximum health, it is gained as overheal.

Collecting up to 5 heads also increases the damage a Demoman deals when using the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen or Tide Turner's charge attack; an additional 10% is added to the base damage of the charge for each head. The number of heads taken is shown in the HUD. Collected heads are retained as long as the Demoman is alive, but do not carry over to his next life. Cutting off an opponent's head also has a cosmetic effect; the Demoman's eyepatch glows unremarkably after taking only one head, but as he takes up to four heads, the eye becomes brighter and brighter.

As an added advantage, if the player decapitates an enemy Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron, in addition to the enemy Demoman's own head, the player receives any heads previously taken by that Demoman. This also applies to a Soldier wielding the Air Strike, a Sniper wielding the Bazaar Bargain, or a Medic wielding the Vita-Saw.

Taunting with the Eyelander equipped results in the Barbarian Swing kill taunt.

The Eyelander is automatically given to any player who obtains 11 Demoman achievements.

Bugs

Trivia

  • The Eyelander was originally issued to American monkeynaut Poopy Joe in order to fight off his Soviet rival Vladimir Bananas before it was acquired by Mann Co. in entirely innocent circumstances.
  • The name "Eyelander" is a portmanteau on the word "Highlander", the name given to inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands, where the Demoman's hometown of Ullapool is located, and "eye", referencing his left eye being lost. Additionally, the name and function of the Eyelander bears a similarity to the movie Highlander, where immortal humans could gain another immortal's power by decapitating them in a sword fight.
    • This is also referenced by the Demoman when he yells "There can be only one!" upon killing a player with the sword, which is a line repeated throughout the film.
  • The decapitation animation of the Eyelander's victims does not actually separate the head from the model of the victim, instead shrinking the head so small it cannot be easily seen and spawning a head gib where their head once was to create the illusion of decapitation. This explains why decapitated ragdolls have a 'pinched' looking neck. A severed neck model for the Soldier is in the game files, but neither it nor any other models have been implemented as of yet. This severed neck model was intended to be used for the WAR! Update for Soldiers who were decapitated by Demomen, but the implementation of the model and its needed code failed to meet the deadline of the update's shipping.
    • This applies to all weapons that decapitate enemies.
  • In the comic Ring of Fired, the ghost that haunts the Eyelander is shown to be fully sentient, and capable of speaking fluent English.
  • The Eyelander is similar to William Wallace's sword in the movie Braveheart.
