Pickups are objects that are spawned or dropped in various locations across most maps. These usually consist of varying forms of Health, Ammo and Metal. A player must walk into them to collect them, and will only pick them up if they are not at full Health, Ammo or Metal. Any regular item pick-up used in this way will disappear, and will respawn after ten seconds with a distinct sound effect.

In addition, the Heavy's Sandvich can also be considered a pick-up item, in the sense that a Heavy can drop his Sandvich for his teammates (or enemies) to use. It can recover as much health as a Medium sized health kit.


Event pickups

During the annual Halloween events, two more pick-up items are introduced. Exclusive to the event version of Harvest and Mann Manor are Halloween pumpkins which are spawned when players are killed. These Halloween pumpkins grant a 3-4 second Crit boost when picked up. Picking up 20 of them will also complete the Candy Coroner achievement, unlocking the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask. During the Scream Fortress event, it was possible to find the other unique pick-up, the Haunted Halloween Gift. This gift would give it's recipient a random Halloween Mask.

Trivia

  • The basic pick-up items also have Halloween-variants, seen in their own respective articles. Their change in appearance is simply cosmetic. These variants can be seen on the event version of Harvest and also on Mann Manor.
  • The Heavy's Sandvich can be picked up by the opposite team. Killing the Heavy and taking his Sandvich is one of the Scout achievements called "Dodgers 1, Giants 0".
