'''Crit-a-Cola''' (in full, '''''Bonk! Crit-a-Cola''''') is a [[secondary]] weapon for the [[Scout]]. It appears as a purple soda can from the [[Bonk (company)|Bonk! company]], sporting the tagline "Manliness guaranteed!". Its name is a play on popular soft-drink brand name 'Coca-Cola'. The name also sounds like the word 'Critical' spoken with unusual emphasis.

When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal [[Mini-Crit]]s for 6 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, Mini-Crits can also be inflicted against the Scout by any enemy during this duration. This weapon is therefore better suited for competent players who can avoid taking fire while dealing considerable damage to opponents.

'''Crit-a-Cola''', known in full as '''Bonk Crit-a-Cola''', is a [[Weapons#scoutsecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Scout]]. It is a canned soda with a purple label, manufactured by the [[List of companies#Bonk!|Bonk!]] company.  
  
==Damage==
+
Upon ingestion, Crit-a-Cola gives the Scout the ability to deal [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|Mini-Crits]] for 8 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, making ''any'' attack while under the effect immediately causes a 5 second [[Mechanics#MarkedForDeath|Marked-For-Death]] debuff. Making additional attacks while this debuff is active resets its duration.

None. Gives the drinker Mini-Crits for the next 6 seconds.<br>
 
Drinker also receives Mini-Crit damage during the effect.
 
  
==Function times==

As the process of drinking Crit-a-Cola is considered a [[Taunts|taunt]], it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater.
*Drinking: 1.2 seconds (Interruptible)
 
*Buff Duration: 6 seconds
 
*Crit-a-Cola Recharge Time: 24 seconds (after effect wears off)

I don't know how it did it, but dis actually makes me more handsome!
The Scout on his new soda's benefits

Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a canned soda with a purple label, manufactured by the Bonk! company.

Upon ingestion, Crit-a-Cola gives the Scout the ability to deal Mini-Crits for 8 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, making any attack while under the effect immediately causes a 5 second Marked-For-Death debuff. Making additional attacks while this debuff is active resets its duration.

As the process of drinking Crit-a-Cola is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater.
