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 the kill
command into the console), or by having the command bound to a key.
The server setting tf_playergib
can also be used to modify gibbing behavior: 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 behavior is as normal. Finally, with the setting tf_playergib 2
, players will gib when killed by practically any means - be it a backstab, environmental kill, or Shotgun blast.

Update history
- Fixed a bug that would cause team-painted wearable gibs to show an incorrect color
- Fixed a client crash related to breakables/gibs
Bugs
- Notification boxes that label the body part appear on censored gibs, even in the censored versions of Team Fortress 2.
- The Engineer's right hand gib will always be his glove, even when the Gunslinger or Short Circuit is equipped.
- The Combat Mini-Sentry deployed by Gunslinger Engineers uses the same gibs as a destroyed Level 1 Sentry Gun.
- Gibs like the ÜberCharge textures, with the exception of the Soldier's on BLU, do not show the class' final designs. For example, a gibbed Scout has a different shoe design and his socks have stripes.
- If a player wearing a hat is gibbed, their hat will either disappear or appear alongside the default hat in the player's gibs.
- Even with silly gibs turned on, a kill with the Eyelander, Scotsman's Skullcutter, Claidheamh Mòr, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, Half-Zatoichi, Nessie's Nine Iron, or Persian Persuader will cause a head gib to appear.
