Bleeding is an attrition damage effect similar to Afterburn that causes a gradual loss of health until it stops. Bleeding causes a more rapid health loss than afterburn, but ends quicker. Bleed duration does not stack on multiple hits: Being struck again by a bleed-inflicting weapon does not increase the bleed time, but rather 'resets' it to full duration . The only way to stop Bleeding is by finding a Health kit or a resupply cabinet, though any other healing source can cancel out the damage.
Bleed damage cannot Crit, however it can still Mini-Crit if the target is covered in Jarate or if the player who caused the bleeding has been buffed by the Buff Banner.

Indications of bleeding
If you are bleeding:
- You will notice a red drop on your Health display, which will indicate that you have been wounded with a Bleed-inflicting weapon.
- You will flinch, as with fire, each time the Bleeding inflicts damage.
- Your screen will appear to swim and have a red hue.
If a teammate or enemy is bleeding:
- Blood will drip from the teammate and they will flinch as their Health drains away.
- Spies will bleed as well, even if they're cloaked or disguised.
Tribalman's Shiv
The Tribalman's Shiv was the first weapon capable of inflicting bleeding damage. The initial blow will inflict a base 32 (29 to 36) damage, and cause the player to bleed. Dealing 3 to 5 damage per tick (every half-second) totaling to 8.5 damage per second for 6 seconds (51 damage total)
Southern Hospitality
The Southern Hospitality also uses the bleeding effect. It lasts for 5 seconds, doing 3-5 damage every half second for a total of approximately 42.5 extra damage. This results in about 107 total damage from one hit of the Southern Hospitality.
Key differences between Bleeding and Afterburn
Bleeding differs in a few key ways to Afterburn:
- Bleeding cannot be removed except by visiting resupply cabinet or grabbing a Health pick-up. Therefore it cannot be negated by:
- It has a different, more distracting, visual effect to afterburn.
- It does 4 damage every half second as opposed to 3 for afterburn.
- No classes are immune to bleeding, whereas Pyros are immune to afterburn.
