Drink it in pal! That's how failure tastes!
The Scout

The Mad Milk is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It appears as a nondescript bottle of "milk" with no cap.

Functioning similarly to Jarate and unlike previous Scout drinks, this weapon can be thrown by the player at enemies as a projectile, but can be reflected back by an enemy Pyro or redirected by an enemy Scout's Baseball. It is possible to get a "Critical" Mad Milk, but the effect is only cosmetic.

Once a target is covered in non-milk substance, they will appear to continually drip white droplets. Players under the effects of Mad Milk will not have blurred vision, but will have a white droplet icon next to their health meter on the HUD, similar to that of the bleed effect. During this period, 75% of the damage done to the enemy is returned as health to any team member who damages the Mad Milk-covered enemy. This does not apply to Engineers whose Sentry Gun damages the enemy. A player under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch and covered in Mad Milk will still provide health upon being hit but will be immune to the damage.

Mad Milk has the added benefits of extinguishing teammates on fire and shorting out Cloaking devices. Having an ÜberCharge activated on the victim will not remove the effects. However, being submerged in water will wash Mad Milk away.

Damage

None. However if an enemy is covered in Mad Milk when you do damage to them, you will be healed a percentage (75%) of that damage.
