Template:Reference pose list

Class	Method
Scout	Equip and switch to the Flying Guillotine, Mad Milk, or Bonk! Atomic Punch. Walk outside of your spawn room and type kill in the console. When you respawn, quickly go back to your dropped weapon. Switch to the same weapon and use it by holding down primary fire. While still holding down primary fire, pick up the dropped item. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.
Soldier
	Equip and switch to the Beggar's Bazooka. Walk outside of your spawn room and type kill in the console. When you respawn, quickly go back to your dropped Beggar's Bazooka. Switch to it and empty its ammo by holding down primary fire. The last rocket cannot be a misfire. While still holding down primary fire, pick up the dropped Beggar's Bazooka. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.
	By equipping the Cow Mangler 5000 and the Mantreads, then rocket jumping high enough to take fall damage, you may occasionally switch to the reference pose until you land on either the ground or another player.
	You can use any of the three banners and the B.A.S.E. Jumper to enter the reference pose. Equip any of the banners, then charge them up by damaging another player; once charged, go into your loadout and equip the B.A.S.E. Jumper. Once done, use the banner by holding down primary fire. Now return to the spawn and simply walk into the Resupply Cabinet. You are now in the reference pose indicated by a bugged viewmodel.  You will not have the effects of the banner you are using, but you can use the B.A.S.E. Jumper's parachute.
Pyro
	Equip and switch to any primary that can airblast. Walk outside of your spawn room and type kill in the console. When you respawn, quickly go back to your dropped primary. Switch to it and empty its ammo by holding down alt-fire. While still holding down alt-fire, pick up the dropped primary. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.
	Zombie Infection only If you use the Thermal Thruster just as you get turned into the first Zombie, you enter the reference pose.
Demoman
	Equip the B.A.S.E. Jumper and any non-shield secondary. With your secondary weapon out, switch to any shield and refresh your loadout by either swapping the weapons in spawn or touching the Resupply cabinet. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.  You will not be able to charge with your shield while in the reference pose, but you can use the B.A.S.E. Jumper's parachute.
Heavy
	Equip and switch to any primary (the Huo-Long Heater is recommended due to its increased ammo consumption rate). Type kill in the console. When you respawn, quickly go back to your dropped primary. Empty your current weapon by holding primary fire. While still holding down primary fire, pick up the weapon you dropped when you died. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.
	Zombie Infection only If you unrev your primary just as you get turned into the first Zombie, you will enter the reference pose.
Sniper	Equip and switch to the Jarate. Walk outside of your spawn room and type kill in the console. When you respawn, quickly go back to your dropped weapon. Switch to the same weapon and use it by holding down primary fire. While still holding down primary fire, pick up the dropped item. You are now in the reference pose, indicated by a bugged viewmodel.
All classes	While playing any class, find a friendly Engineer's Dispenser. Get close to their Dispenser and type kill in console. After respawning, run over and pick up your recently dropped weapon to reset its disappear timer. Try to pick it up while standing in the Dispenser (easier to do if the Dispenser is up against a wall).
	Versus Saxton Hale only While in Setup time, use the command autoteam and then select the class you were playing as to enter the reference pose.
	Mann vs. Machine only While playing as any class, equip a weapon that you can taunt with. Walk outside of the spawn room and equip a different weapon that you can also taunt with. Go back into the spawn room and make sure you have enough money left for an upgrade. While holding the item, go towards the Upgrade Station then taunt. While the taunt is playing, get an upgrade. When you get out of the Upgrade Station, you are in the reference pose as indicated by the bugged viewmodel.  If done with a consumable, you can only equip a similar consumable (e.g. if you equip a Sandvich, you have to equip another food item).
