However, unlike the [[Conga]], the player has a choice of standing still, or moving in all eight directions by pressing the corresponding movement keys.

When you think of the Soviet Union, you think of one thing: the freedom to laugh and love and sing and dance!
— Kazotsky Kick publicity blurb
 ”

The Kazotsky Kick is a special taunt for all classes.

When the player activates the taunt through the taunts menu, they begin performing a traditional Ukrainian "Hopak" dance set to a fast-paced folk tune. Each class features a unique variation of the dance, with some incorporating dance elements from their own respective backgrounds.

While taunting, the player can remain still or move freely in any direction, albeit slower than usual. Any other player (including Bots) can join in regardless of team or if they own the taunt.

For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.
