Gibs, or giblets, are the bits and pieces of a player's body that are left after the player has been killed in a specific manner, often explosive in nature. When a player is gibbed, their body parts may be highlighted on the Deathcam. Additionally, the Horseless Headless Horsemann always drops its own unique gibs on death.

The term gibs also encapsulates debris left by destroyed buildings,[1] stickybombs,[1] Electro Sappers,[1] Razorbacks, Guitars, props, and the fallout from the explosion upon the attacking teams' victory on the final stage of a Payload map. "Gib" can also be used as a verb, e.g. "gibbing" someone, meaning reducing an enemy to gibs by blowing them up with a rocket or grenade.

Players can gib themselves on command by entering explode into the console (similar to suiciding by entering kill).

The server setting tf_playergib can also be used to modify gibbing behaviour: when it is set to 0, players will not gib at all, no matter what kills them. When set to 1 (the default setting), gibbing behaviour is as normal. Finally, with the setting tf_playergib 2, players will gib when killed by practically any means - be it a Backstab, an environmental kill, or a humble Shotgun blast.

Causes

Deaths caused by the following will result in the creation of gibs:
