Crit-a-Cola (in full Bonk! Crit-a-Cola) is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout. In similar packaging to 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 reserved for competent players who can avoid taking fire whilst dealing considerable damage to opponents.

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.
  • '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!
  • When you die while holding the Crit-a-Cola, it will appear as Bonk! Atomic Punch instead.
  • 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.
  • Despite being a weapon rather than a hat, Crit-a-Cola's drop rate is very low.[citation needed]
  • The Crit-a-Cola and the Bonk! Atomic Punch have the same ingredients (water, sugar and radiation) but the "effect" would come from the different radiation.[citation needed]
  • The reason the Scout will always switch to melee after drinking the cola is an after effect of a balance change to Bonk! Atomic Punch.
