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 for the same duration, therefore Crit-a-Cola is better suited for players who can avoid taking fire while still dealing considerable damage to opponents.
+
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.

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.

— 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.
