Pumpkin jump
A player can perform a Pumpkin jump by standing near a Pumpkin bomb and jumping as it explodes. This will launch the player up into the air in a similar fashion to a rocket jump. While this carries the player an impressive distance, it is a highly damaging technique and often instantly kills weaker classes.
Using this technique with certain classes (such as the Scout) is difficult due to the low amount of health that those classes have when not buffed by a Medic. If a player is not killed by the blast itself, he or she will most likely die from the fall damage inflicted upon landing.
Exploding a pumpkin
Any bullet, melee attack, or projectile may be used to explode a pumpkin (including undetonated stickybombs, baseballs, thrown Jarate, and Mad Milk), destroying the projectile used to detonate the Pumpkin bomb. However, fire does not trigger an explosion.
- See the projectile article for a full list.

Update history

- [Undocumented] The Rocket Jumper and the Sticky Jumper no longer prevent self-damage from pumpkin bombs.
Bugs
- Standing in a Pumpkin bomb's location when it spawns locks the player in place. Under normal play conditions, when a player is locked in such a manner, detonation of the pumpkin or dying is the only way to escape.
Trivia
- The Chargin' Targe and Splendid Screen will only reduce damage from pumpkins if it was the opposing team who detonated them.
- Boosted damage from mini-crits will only apply if the pumpkins are detonated by a player of the team opposite the the one of the player who is taking damage from mini-crits.
- The grenade version of the beta Demoman weapon, the Dynamite Pack, appears to be similar to the ones attached to the pumpkins.
