Wehhhhhh!
It's only gonna get worse, mate.
The Sniper

Bleeding is an attrition damage effect similar to Afterburn that causes a gradual loss of health until it stops. 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 (6 seconds). The only way to stop Bleeding is by using a resupply cabinet, though it can be stemmed by a health source.

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

Red drop on health display. Find a Medic fast!

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 32 damage, and cause the player to bleed. Dealing 3 to 5 damage per tick (every half-second), the bleed-out will inflict 52 additional damage, for a total of 84 damage.

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.
