The Sniper on life

Bleeding is a damage effect similar to Afterburn that causes a gradual loss of health until the effect wears off, or the victim dies. Bleeding causes a more rapid health loss than afterburn, but ends more quickly. Bleed duration does not stack on multiple hits; being struck again by a bleed-inflicting weapon does not add an additional bleed duration, but rather 'resets' it to full duration . The only way to stop bleeding is by finding a Health kit or a resupply cabinet, though any other healing source can cancel out the damage.

Bleed damage cannot Crit, however it can still Mini-Crit if the target is covered in Jarate or if the player who caused the bleeding has been buffed by the Buff Banner.

Indications of bleeding

Red drop on health display. Find a Medic fast!

If you are bleeding:

  • Your screen will appear to swim and have a red hue.
  • You will notice a red drop on your Health display, which will indicate that you have been wounded with a bleed-inflicting weapon.
  • You will flinch, as with fire, each time the bleeding inflicts damage.

If a teammate or enemy is bleeding:

  • Blood will drip from the teammate and they will flinch as their Health drains away.
  • Spies will bleed as well, even if they're cloaked or disguised.

Tribalman's Shiv

Bleed kill icon

The Tribalman's Shiv was the first weapon capable of inflicting bleeding damage. The initial blow will inflict a base 32 (29 to 36) damage, and cause the victim to bleed. Dealing 3 to 5 damage per tick (every half-second), the damage totals to 8.5 damage per second for 6 seconds (51 damage total).

Southern Hospitality

The Southern Hospitality also uses the bleeding effect. It lasts for 5 seconds, doing 3-5 damage every half second for a total of approximately 42.5 extra damage. This results in about 107 total damage from one hit of the Southern Hospitality.

Key differences between Bleeding and Afterburn

Bleeding differs in a few key ways to Afterburn:

  • Bleeding cannot be removed except by visiting resupply cabinet or grabbing a Health pick-up. Therefore it cannot be negated by:
  • It has a different visual effect than afterburn.
  • It does 4 damage every half second as opposed to 3 for afterburn.
  • No classes are immune to bleeding, whereas Pyros are immune to afterburn.
