Bonk! Atomic Punch is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout class. It is a small energy drink can with a team-appropriate label; RED's flavor of Bonk! is "Cherry Fission", while BLU's is "Blutonium Berry".
Upon drinking, this weapon provides temporary invincibility to the player from any type of damage, bar environmental and telefragging. The player's view is forced into third-person mode upon drinking, during which they can maneuver and jump as they see fit, but will be unable to use any weapons. When any type of bullet or projectile hits a Scout under the drink's effects, a "Miss!" signal will appear above the class's head followed by one of many responses. The Scout has unlimited Bonk! cans at his disposal, but cannot take out another can until his regeneration period, shown in the HUD, is over.
Sentry Guns will not damage a Scout under the influence of Bonk!, but he will still experience knockback. If a Scout is set on fire while he drinks Bonk!, he will not take damage from further Flamethrower attacks or from afterburn, but will resume being damaged by the flames should they persist after the drink wears off. It is possible to be soaked with Jarate while under the effect of Bonk!, but it will only affect the damage taken after Bonk!'s effects have worn off. Bonk! cannot be used while carrying the intelligence, nor can a Scout grab the intelligence under the effect of Bonk!. It can be used while capturing objectives such as control points or the Payload cart, but doing so will negate the Scout's capture. The effect of Bonk! will cease if a Scout using it activates a resupply cabinet.
While drinking, being hit by Natascha, the Flamethrower's compression blast, the Force-A-Nature and being launched in the air by explosives will interrupt the drinking process. This cancels the use, but still counts as consumption, and drains the recharge meter as such.
Bonk! Atomic Punch is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Scout achievements.

Update history
February 24, 2009 Patch (The Scout Update)
- The Bonk! Atomic Punch was added to the game.
- Scouts now drop the flag, if carrying it, when they drink this item.
- The ammo count can no longer be exploited through use of a resupply cabinet.
December 17, 2009 Patch (WAR! Update)
- Added recharge sound to abilities with a recharge bar.
- Fixed the lack of phase effect while using this item.
- The slowdown disadvantage after using the weapon is removed as a balance fixture. A cooldown bar is added before it can be used, similar to the Sandman's Ball.

- [Undocumented] This item was added in the Dalokohs Bar's crafting blueprint.
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)

- [Undocumented] This item was removed from the Dalokohs Bar's crafting blueprint.
Bugs
- The afterburn from the Flare Gun cannot be dodged with the invulnerability granted from consuming Bonk! Atomic Punch, and will result in the Scout taking fire damage. This bug exists only with afterburn from the Flare Gun.
- Consuming Bonk! Atomic Punch with the Sandman equipped consumes the Scout's baseball, as though it had been thrown. If the recharge meter for the baseball is full, the baseball will not recharge, and will only be returned by a resupply cabinet.
- On-hit effects, such as the Übersaw, Black Box and hitting the Scout if he is covered in Mad Milk trigger the on-hit effects as any normal attack would.
- While on a Payload map, touching the attacker's exit gate at the moment the round begins while the invulnerability effect of Bonk! Atomic Punch is active will cause the Scout to remain invulnerable until the player touches a resupply cabinet.
- The effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch will not protect the player from the damaging fires of torches on Egypt, or most other environmental hazards as one would expect. This may or may not be intended.
- If the player uses the console commands
kill, orexplodeto commit suicide while under the effects Bonk! Atomic Punch, the kill will be awarded to the last player on the enemy team to have dealt damage the Scout with a weapon, even if the Scout was invulnerable at the time the damage was taken. - Should the player consume Bonk! Atomic Punch immediately upon touching a resupply cabinet, he will be granted an additional Bonk! Atomic Punch, shown by the ammo counter. This extra drink can be consumed as soon as the first Bonk! Atomic Punch effects wears off.
- Using the Director's Vision taunt while the weapon is in use will deplete the bar fully, as with the Sandman and other consumables such as the Sandvich.
- If a player consumes Bonk! Atomic Punch, and is pushed off any size ledge, the Bonk! Atomic Punch bar will deplete completely, and the invulnerability effect will not occur.
Trivia
- Bonk! Atomic Punch and Crit-a-Cola are listed with ingredients including water, radiation and sugar. Upon closer inspection, the rest of the ingredients appear to be random letters.
- An active adult's daily recommended sugar intake is around 90 grams. Assuming the contents of Bonk! Atomic Punch are as advertised, the drink would have to contain several hundred times worth of daily recommended sugar, weighing at least 9 kg. This would equate roughly to 20 lbs.
- The texture used for Bonk! Atomic Punch was reused for with the Bonk Helm, a headgear for the Scout, which is based on novelty drinking helmets.
