A headshot is a successful attack to the head of an enemy with a scoped shot from the Sniper Rifle, Bazaar Bargain, Sydney Sleeper, Machina, Hitman's Heatmaker, AWPer Hand, and Shooting Star, as well as a fully charged shot from the Classic (scoped or unscoped). A Huntsman/Fortified Compound arrow or an Ambassador bullet can also deal headshots. Headshots deal guaranteed Critical hits; unless a damage reducing effect is active, a fully charged headshot from the Sniper Rifle will instantly kill any class regardless of overheal, except a Dead Ringer Spy, which requires a fully charged Machina headshot. The hitbox for the head of any class will always remain centered on the Y axis of rotation, no matter what the onscreen appearance may dictate.
Killing an enemy with a headshot yields an extra half point, for a total of 1.5 points per headshot kill. Scoring a lethal headshot with a Huntsman arrow yields an additional half point, for a total of 2 points.

Update history

Bugs
- If a player is crit boosted (such as a Kritzkrieg Übercharge) and hits a headshot in circumstances that normally don't result in a headshot (such as a Classic shot that isn't fully charged), the kill icon will still display it as a headshot.
Trivia
- There is a 25% chance that a player killed by a headshot will enter a special death animation[1] unique to that class.
- Any sword or axe for the Demoman and Half-Zatoichi for the Soldier will also have a 25% chance for the player killed to enter the special death animation, since these weapons remove the enemy's head after a successful kill.
