The Soda Popper is a community-created primary weapon for the Scout. It is a broken Force-A-Nature repaired with several black bands and outfitted with slit barrels. A can of Crit-a-Cola is fitted underneath.
The Soda Popper shares the reload function of the Force-A-Nature, where it only has two shells per clip, and reloads its entire clip at once. Compared to the Force-A-Nature, it has a 25% faster reload speed, and compared to the Scattergun, it has a 50% faster firing speed. The Soda Popper's reload will discard any shells still left over in the chamber.
Equipping the Soda Popper places a "HYPE" meter on the HUD, which fills whilst the player is moving with the weapon active. It takes approximately 5200 Hammer units of distance traveled, either through running or jumping, to fill up the hype meter (The Scout has a base movement speed of approximately 400 Hammer Units a second, so filling up the meter will take about 13 seconds of constant movement). The HYPE meter can also fill up due to exterior knockback, such as being sent flying by a rocket.
When the hype meter is full, pressing Alt-Fire (default key: MOUSE2), while the weapon is active, activates Hype mode for 10 seconds, giving the Scout the ability to jump up to five times in mid-air (for a total of six jumps). When HYPE mode is initiated, the player will hear the same noise as being hit with the Disciplinary Action, and the Scout's active weapon will glow bright purple, in addition to the Scout's air jump particles turning purple. The Atomizer has no effect during Hype mode; it will not grant an additional jump or damage the user.

July 2, 2015 Patch #1 (Gun Mettle Update)
- Updated description to better detail the weapon's features.
Bugs
- The Hype meter can be charged and activated during end of round humiliation time.
- On 4:3 resolutions, the Hype meter will overlap the objective HUD.
- Equipping the Soda Popper along with the Atomizer will cause the multi-jump sound effect to play on triple jump, even though the Hype Mode is not activated.
- When viewed in the class selection screen, a shell can be seen behind the Crit-a-Cola portion of the Soda Popper.
- When the hype meter is activated, and the player visits a Resupply Locker to switch weapons, the Soda Popper's effects will be present on the swapped weapons.
Trivia
- The shells have the radiation hazard symbol (☢) on them. [2]
- Although a can of Crit-a-Cola is strapped to the barrel, a Bonk! Atomic Punch is required instead in the crafting recipe. While coincidental, early versions of the Soda Popper had a can of Bonk! Atomic Punch strapped to the barrel.
