You take a shotgun and cut it in half. You're left with a light handcannon that handles like a large pistol and has the stopping power of an 18-wheeler loaded with watermelons. A true classic.
— Item Description

The Jury-Rigged Boomstick is the Scout's default secondary weapon. It is a double-barrel shotgun which has had its barrels sawed in half, resulting in a stubby profile. The metallic barrels end at exactly the same spot as the wooden handgrip, and the lack of stock results in pronounced recoil.


Modifications[]

There are five tiers of modifications and each tier has two to three upgrades. Only one modification can be equipped per tier.

Unique Modifications[]

White Phosphorous Shells[]

The Front AoE shock wave Damage is not included in the conversion.

Special Powder is a Clean Overclock
Whenever the weapon is fired and the player is not on the ground they will get pushed in the direction opposite of the pellet's direction, a well-timed shot can push the player up to 16 meters in the air. If both shots are unloaded in quick succession, the amount of distance covered goes up to a maximum of 48.5 meters/metres. It is affected by the player's current speed and direction. It is useful for saving yourself from a lethal fall.

Mastery[]

Each modification that is purchased advances a mastery bar by one unit.

Trivia[]

  • In real life, sawing a shotgun's barrel does not increase its damage potential. It reduces the weight and length of the weapon making it easier to carry, but it affects the range by reducing muzzle velocity
  • The Special Powder's effect is similar to Team Fortress 2's Force-a-Nature knockback jump, which is also used by the game's Scout class.
  • Prior to Season 4, The "Double Trigger" upgrade would not only increase your fire rate by 6x, it would also decrease reload time by 0.55 seconds, making it almost always better than quickfire ejector.
