Crit-a-Cola (in full Bonk! Crit-a-Cola) is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout. While it sports a similar packaging to the Bonk! Atomic Punch, it appears as a purple soda can no matter what team the player is on.
When the drink is imbibed, it gives the Scout the ability to deal Mini-Crits for 6 seconds with any weapon equipped. 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 whilst dealing considerable damage to opponents.

Previous Changes
- The "Retire the Runner" achievement is reconfigured to apply to the weapon.
- The weapon now spills purple liquid when selected, as opposed to the green liquid of Bonk! Atomic Punch.
Trivia
- The name 'Crit-a-Cola' is a play on popular soft-drink brand name 'Coca-Cola'. The name also sounds like the word 'Critical' spoken with unusual emphasis.
- The Crit-a-Cola was designed and created one day before it was released.[1] Upon release, it and Bonk! Atomic Punch looked identical, including the liquid emitted from the item upon switching to it.
- Cola drinks are typically a deep brown color, though Crit-a-Cola appears to be purple. Its radiation content is a possible explanation for this.
- 'Crit-a-Cola' appears to be another beverage which appears under the Bonk! brand-name, rather than a new product all its own.
- While Cherry Fission-flavored Bonk! proclaimed Now With Isotopes!, and Blutonium Berry-flavoured Bonk! assured us it contained 33% More Radiation!, Crit-a-Cola's label states Manliness Guaranteed!
- The lines said by a Scout while under the effects of Crit-a-Cola are the same as his Bonk! Atomic Punch lines, despite their obviously different functions.
- Similar to Bonk!, drinking a Crit-a-Cola with the Sandman results in a bug that removes the Scout's baseball. If the ball's recharge meter is full, the recharge meter goes to 0 as if the ball had been launched. However, the ball will return as normal after the recharge is complete.
