A '''headshot''' is a successful attack to the head of an enemy with a scoped shot from the [[Sniper Rifle]], [[Bazaar Bargain]], [[Sydney Sleeper]], [[Machina]], [[Hitman's Heatmaker]], [[AWPer Hand]], and [[Shooting Star]], as well as a fully charged shot from the [[Classic]] (scoped or unscoped). A [[Huntsman]]/[[Fortified Compound]] arrow or an [[Ambassador]] bullet can also deal headshots.

A headshot is a successful attack to the head of an enemy with a scoped shot from the Sniper Rifle, Bazaar Bargain, Sydney Sleeper, Machina, Hitman's Heatmaker, AWPer Hand, and Shooting Star, as well as a fully charged shot from the Classic (scoped or unscoped). A Huntsman/Fortified Compound arrow or an Ambassador bullet can also deal headshots. Headshots deal guaranteed Critical hits; unless a damage reducing effect is active, a fully charged headshot from the Sniper Rifle instantly kills any class regardless of overheal, except a Dead Ringer Spy, which requires a fully charged Machina headshot. The hitbox for the head of any class always remains centered on the Y-axis of rotation, no matter what the onscreen appearance may dictate.
In contrast, a bodyshot is a successful attack to any part of the enemy's body outside of the head, scoped or unscoped.
Killing an enemy with a headshot yields an extra half-point, for a total of 1.5 points per headshot kill. Scoring a lethal headshot with a Huntsman arrow yields an additional half-point, for a total of 2 points. Headshots with the Ambassador yield 2 points on the scoreboard.

Kill icons
Unused kill icons
Ambassador (Used since the Sniper vs. Spy Update until its removal in the Engineer Update)
Sniper Rifle (Used since 2007 up until its replacement with the current headshot icon in the Engineer Update)
Update history
- Fixed headshots not always registering for crouched players.
December 17, 2009 Patch (WAR! Update)
- Added headshot death animations.
Bugs
- If a player is crit boosted (such as a Kritzkrieg Übercharge) and hits a headshot in circumstances that normally don't result in a headshot (such as a Classic shot that isn't fully charged), the kill icon still displays it as a headshot.
Trivia
- There is a 25% chance that a player killed by a headshot will enter a special death animation[1] unique to that class.
- Any sword or axe for the Demoman and Half-Zatoichi for the Soldier also has a 25% chance for players killed to enter the special death animation, since these weapons remove the enemy's head after a successful kill.
