Gibs or giblets are the bits and pieces of a player's body that are left after the player has been died in a specific manner, often explosive in nature. When a player is gibbed, their bodyparts may be highlighted on the Deathcam. Deaths caused by Rockets,[1] Grenades,[1] Stickybombs, the Eyelander, Scotsman's Skullcutter, Engineer's Organ Grinder taunt or Soldier's Kamikaze taunt result in the creation of gibs.

The term gibs also encapsulates debris left by destroyed buildings, Electro Sappers, 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).

Trivia

  • Gibs, with the exception of the Soldier's, 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.
  • The Engineer's right hand gib will always be his glove, even when the Gunslinger is equipped.
  • Combat Mini-Sentry Guns share the same debris gibs as a Level 1 Sentry Gun, despite their different appearances.
