The Paint Bomb[1] is an experimental throwable weapon. Not much information is known about the weapon's functionality, however, several icons and other textures indicate that the Paint Bomb would've drenched the victim in paint. A leftover kill icon is still present in the files. Some splash text[2] indicates that on a successful hit, a bit of text similar to the Mantreads's Stomp or the Loose Cannon's Double Donk would appear. The victim of a Paint Bomb would've likely had an icon on their HUD[3] indicating they had been hit by it and are now drenched in paint, similar to the HUD icon for Jarate. The Paint Bomb would likely also do bullet damage.[4] The Paint Bomb would've left colored decals on the world[5], similar to blood splatters.[6]
Several different variants of the Paint Bomb can be found, including a "grenade" version[7], a Balloonicorn version[8], as well as a "gold"[9] and a "color"[9] version of the grenade and Balloonicorn version, likely indicating that the Paint Bomb had different colors. A "Balloon Bag" icon[10] can also be found, with several different deflated water balloons inside it.
