Pumpkin Bombs are an environmental hazard unique to the event versions of Harvest and Mann Manor. They appear at certain spots on the map and will explode when hit with a weapon, causing high damage over a moderate radius. After a short amount of time they will respawn, ready to be blown apart again.
In order to obtain the Attack o' Lantern scarechievement, players must cause the deaths of 5 opponents by exploding nearby pumpkin bombs. This achievement is only available during the annual Hallowe'en Special.
Pumpkin Jump
A player can perform a 'pumpkin jump' by standing on or near a pumpkin bomb, and either jumping or attacking it point blank. This will launch the player up in 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.
Exploding a Pumpkin
Any bullet, melee attack, or projectile may be used to explode a pumpkin (including Baseballs, thrown Jarate or Mad Milk), destroying the projectile used to detonate the pumpkin bomb. Fire, however, will not trigger an explosion.
- See the projectile article for a full list.

- Having the Rocket Jumper or Sticky Jumper equipped will nullify the damage you would normally take if you shot the pumpkin, even if it hits someone else. You take damage normally if an enemy caused the explosion.
- Standing in a Pumpkin Bomb's location before it spawns will freeze the player in place, being able to escape only by detonating the pumpkin or dying.
- It is possible to damage your own teammates with a pumpkin bomb if you trigger it with a Huntsman arrow, Jarate or Mad Milk.
