The Holy Mackerel is a community-created melee weapon for the Scout. It is a fish, presumably a mackerel, wrapped in faded, dirty newspaper and tied with a rubber band. The end of the newspaper is shaped for easy handling. The Festive version replaces the newspaper with gift wrap, and places five small, team-colored lights around the handle, as well as one large one in the fish’s mouth. The Festivized version of the Holy Mackerel is similar to the default, with nine small team-colored festive lights wrapped around it with a battery pack charging the lights. While the Scout is moving, the Holy Mackerel bends around, depending on your direction.
