Science tells us that laughter is the best medicine. Put that theory to the test with the Schadenfreude taunt pack, now available in the Mann Co. Store, which gives all nine classes the ability to laugh at a corpse and see if it gets any better.

The Schadenfreude (pronounced "sha·den·froy·da;" [ˈʃɑ.den.fʁʊʏ.də]) is an Action taunt for all classes. Upon activation, the player will take joy in the suffering of their enemies for several seconds by laughing at them. Unlike other all-class taunts, each class's animation has a slightly different duration: the Spy has the longest laugh, while the Engineer has the shortest.

The player will also perform this taunt when hit by a critical hit from the Holiday Punch, or with an 80% chance when using a weapon taunt during the April Fools' Day event (sometimes ranging from March 31st to April 2nd due to timezones).

Trivia

  • Schadenfreude is a German term meaning joy derived from the misfortune of others.
  • When the Soldier uses the taunt, near the end, you can hear a director quietly say "And cut".
  • The Scout's laugh has a sound effect for him slapping his knee. This can be heard even when he uses the same line for when he kills multiple enemies in a short time.
