When a Killstreak weapon is equipped, a kill counter appears in the player's [[HUD]], tracking the number of kills made with any Killstreak weapon equipped and resetting upon death. The number of kills in a player's streak is displayed both on the scoreboard next to that player's name and in the killfeed in the top right corner following the player's name, which increases with each consecutive kill. Every 5 kills (20 in [[Mann vs. Machine]]), a message is displayed to the server with the player's name and their current streak. Other kills by the player with a different weapon do not count toward their current Killstreak unless that weapon is also a Killstreak weapon. If a player is carrying multiple Killstreak weapons, the killfeed displays only the number of kills each weapon has obtained, but the messages to the server and the player's HUD "Streak" indicator add the player's kills from all their Killstreak weapons.

An [[Engineer]] wielding a Killstreak [[Wrench]] (or other melee weapons) sees an indication in the killfeed for both a Wrench kill and a Sentry Gun kill. A [[Medic]] using a Killstreak [[Medi Gun]] (or other secondary weapons) does not see any indication in the killfeed, although kill assists with the Medi Gun still count towards the player's Killstreak and are displayed in the HUD. Additionally, while playing Mann vs. Machine, kills made with the [[Projectile Shield|Projectile Shield upgrade]] also go towards a Medic's Medi Gun Killstreak.

Higher tiers of Killstreak weapons also have cosmetic effects; while standard Killstreak weapons only have the kill counter, Specialized Killstreak weapons also have a [[Phong shading|colored sheen]], and Professional Killstreak weapons add a colored particle effect to the user's eyes. These eye particle effects start at 5 kills and are visually minimal, while at 10 kills the effect becomes greatly noticeable.

Standard Killstreak Kits are the most common variety and are rewarded after every completed tour of [[Operation Two Cities]] which may be applied to its assigned weapon. Upon application, it adds a HUD kill counter in addition with the ability to display the player's killstreak in the killfeed for everyone to see, indicated by a number and a small arrow next to the kill icon.

Killstreaks messages are broadcast across the entire server once a certain threshold is reached, starting from five kills onward.

While the weapon is active and the player has a streak of at least five, the eye effect becomes visible. This effect, similar to that of the [[Eyelander]], matches the color of the weapon's sheen.

“
Completing a Two Cities Tour automatically grants you a Killstreak Kit, which you can apply to any weapon to transform it into a Killstreak weapon. Completing the Tour also grants you a fabricator and spare parts that you can use to craft progressively rarer Killstreak Kits, which will add cool visual effects to your weapon and eventually even your character.
— Two Cities Update
 ”
HUD icon

Killstreak Kits are tool items. They are represented by a mixed "kit" of tools such as a Killstreak counter meter (not visible in-game), a circuit board, and an oil can.

Killstreak Kits can be applied to a specific weapon, upgrading it into a Killstreak weapon. When a Killstreak weapon is equipped, a kill counter appears in the player's HUD, tracking the number of kills made with any Killstreak weapon equipped and resetting upon death. The number of kills in a player's streak is displayed both on the scoreboard next to that player's name and in the killfeed in the top right corner following the player's name, which increases with each consecutive kill. Every 5 kills (20 in Mann vs. Machine), a message is displayed to the server with the player's name and their current streak. Other kills by the player with a different weapon do not count toward their current Killstreak unless that weapon is also a Killstreak weapon. If a player is carrying multiple Killstreak weapons, the killfeed displays only the number of kills each weapon has obtained, but the messages to the server and the player's HUD "Streak" indicator add the player's kills from all their Killstreak weapons.

An Engineer wielding a Killstreak Wrench (or other melee weapons) sees an indication in the killfeed for both a Wrench kill and a Sentry Gun kill. A Medic using a Killstreak Medi Gun (or other secondary weapons) does not see any indication in the killfeed, although kill assists with the Medi Gun still count towards the player's Killstreak and are displayed in the HUD. Additionally, while playing Mann vs. Machine, kills made with the Projectile Shield upgrade also go towards a Medic's Medi Gun Killstreak.

Higher tiers of Killstreak weapons also have cosmetic effects; while standard Killstreak weapons only have the kill counter, Specialized Killstreak weapons also have a colored sheen, and Professional Killstreak weapons add a colored particle effect to the user's eyes. These eye particle effects start at 5 kills and are visually minimal, while at 10 kills the effect becomes greatly noticeable.

Killstreak Kits can be applied to weapons of any quality. If a Killstreak Kit is applied to a stock (or other Normal quality) item, it becomes a Unique item and the player subsequently finds it as an item drop. The newly found item exists separate to the original stock item. The player can then choose which item to equip through the character loadout menu. If the weapon is restored to remove the Killstreak, the weapon remains in the player's inventory.

Demonstration

Standard Killstreak Kit

Standard Killstreak Kits are the most common variety and are rewarded after each Operation Two Cities tour completion. Applying the kit against the weapon it specifies and then equipping it adds a kill counter that shows up on the player's heads-up display that increments by one for each kill. Killstreaks are indicated by a number and a small arrow next to the kill icon, additionally displayed onto the killfeeds of other individuals. Killstreaks messages are broadcast across the entire server once a certain threshold is reached, starting from five kills onward.

At the end of each round, the player with the highest killstreak is displayed on the final scoreboard.

Specialized Killstreak Kit

A Specialized Kit also applies a colored sheen to the weapon that intensifies after five kills. Specialized Killstreak Kits are obtained by completing crafting recipes provided by Specialized Killstreak Kit Fabricators, which can be found as a random reward drop from Two Cities tour completions.

The following Sheens are available:

Professional Killstreak Kit

Professional Kits are the rarest variation, adding a particle effect to the user's eyes on top of the effects of Specialized and regular Killstreak Kits. Professional Killstreak Kits are obtained by completing crafting recipes provided by Professional Killstreak Kit Fabricators, which can be found as a rare random reward drop from Two Cities tour completions.

The eye effect is displayed after five kills, and intensifies after ten. The effect matches the color of the weapon's sheen in a similar fashion to the Eyelander; when using sword weapons as Demoman, the effect is only presented on his right eye.

Cerebral Discharge is a Killstreaker added in the Two Cities Update. It appears as an electrical current running through and out of the eyes of the player.

  • If a killstreak weapon is used to kill an enemy and is then changed in the loadout and changed back, the counter starts at 1 again in the killfeed, but the streak overlay remains the same number.
  • Killstreaks that are ended due to environmental deaths, provided another player is not credited for finishing them off, are credited to ERRORNAME.
  • Kills made with the Wrangler count towards the killstreak of an Engineer's wrench, even if only the wrench has killstreaks enabled.
  • Killstreak notifications override the "silent killer" attribute of Your Eternal Reward and its reskins, causing them to show in the enemy team's killfeed.
  • Certain passively-visible weapons and taunts can inherit the sheen of a different killstreak weapon:
    • The Gunslinger and Spy watches appear with the same sheen as the weapon in use.
      • This is not very visible on any Spy watches other than the Dead Ringer, as when they are brought up in the viewmodel they turn transparent almost immediately. The Dead Ringer, however, can be fully visible and not transparent in viewmodels.
    • If a Ham Shank Heavy or a Gunslinger Engineer use the High Five! taunt, their hand takes on the sheen of their primary weapon.
    • If a Demoman uses the Spent Well Spirits taunt, the bottle takes on the sheen of the weapon they were holding before initiating the taunt.
  • The Hypno-Beam effect does not display through wearable glasses.
