Unused Kill icons

You are dead. Not big surprise. Click to listen — The Heavy

There are several unused unused kill icons that can be found in the game files. Some of these icons are included for custom use by the community, others appear to have been replaced by the currently used kill icons or possibly had their accompanying concept scrapped.

List

Name	Icon	Potential Use
Ambassador Headshot		Two unused headshot icons for the Spy's Ambassador. The first was used in-game from the Sniper vs. Spy Update to the Engineer Update, but was changed to the Sniper Rifle headshot icon for unknown reasons. The second icon was included in the game files, but never used in-game.
Level 1 Sentry Gun		This icon has no clear use. It appears similar to the standard Level 1 Sentry kill icon with one clear difference: the Sentry appears to have some kind of laser attached to the top. At first glance it appears to be related to the Wrangler; however, the icon was present within the game files long before the Engineer Update was released.
Spinal Tap		This was the kill icon for the Medic's Spinal Tap tauntkill, and was added in the Engineer Update. Before the update, the Spinal Tap used the Übersaw kill icon. However, shortly after the Engineer Update, it was reverted back to the Übersaw kill icon for unknown reasons.
Environmental kills: fire and explosion		These two kill icons were introduced for custom use by community developers. The first appears as a skull and crossbones surrounded by flames and the second as an explosion. Their use in custom maps and mods could extend to lava or intense heat, or explosives such as bombs or mines.
