The  is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 16.5.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time as part of the Trader's Van event in the armory.

Tips

 * This weapon can be used as a utility weapon for travelling distances and around the map. However, it is effective as an offensive weapon as well.
 * This is especially useful when trying to infiltrate the enemy team's position by creating a portal near their position.
 * One can use this in Capture gamemodes as means of escaping or quick travelling.
 * Use this in close to medium range for a less complicated duel and also due to its bullet travel time.
 * You can hit the ground spot that is near your opponent because this has area damage.
 * Go for the weakened players for better ammunition conserving and quicker kill registering.
 * Keep yourself accurate because it is hard looking around without keeping a charged shot.
 * A full shot takes 16/100 of the capacity.
 * When making portals, try to fire the first portal in a safe location away from enemies.
 * It should be noted that only the user can use the portals, meaning that enemies and other teammates cannot use them.
 * The portals despawn within 10 seconds.
 * The portals are two-way, meaning that either portal will teleport the user to the other.
 * If a user charges up the weapon dies, the attack will still activate upon death, this is useful for going in suicide runs towards enemies, as it is possible to kill an enemy post-death if caught in the blast radius.

Counters

 * Pick off the user at long range.
 * Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
 * Strafe while jumping to minimize the damage from the weapon.
 * Flank around the user then use a melee weapon to deal quick damage and then pull back.
 * Try attacking the user with a high fire rate weapon while they are charging for the shot.
 * Avoid getting hit at all costs as it can be devastating.
 * This weapon's projectiles will be released if its user is killed while he/she is charging.
 * Be wary of the current users on the map, keep an eye out on where the portals are and where he/she is aiming at.
 * One can utilize the portals against the user using weapons such as the Demoman or the Hedgehog on the portal.
 * In addition, one can deploy Turrets or Molotov Cocktails on the portal to trap the user once they teleported through.
