The Scout

The Mad Milk is a secondary weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a nondescript bottle of milk with no cap.

Functioning similarly to Jarate and unlike previous Scout drinks, this weapon can be thrown by the player at enemies as a projectile, but can be reflected back by an enemy Pyro or redirected by an enemy Scout's Baseball. It is possible to get a "Critical" Mad Milk, but the effect is only cosmetic.

Once a target is covered in milk, they will appear to continually drip white droplets. Players under the effects of Mad Milk will not have blurred vision, but will have a white droplet icon next to their health meter on the HUD, similar to that of the bleed effect. During this period, 75% of the damage done to the enemy is returned as health to any team member who damages the milk-covered enemy. This does not apply to Engineers whose Sentry Gun damages the enemy. A player under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch and covered in Mad Milk will still provide health upon being hit but will be immune to the damage.

Mad Milk has the added benefits of extinguishing teammates on fire, and shorting out Cloaking devices. Traversing into water or having an ÜberCharge activated on the victim(s) will not wash off the liquid.

Damage

None. However if an enemy is covered in Mad Milk when you do damage to them, you will be healed a percentage (75%) of that damage.

Function times

  • Mad Milk Recharge Time: 20 seconds.

Trivia

  • Following the trend of highly dangerous drinks, like the Bonk! Atomic Punch and Crit-a-Cola, the Mad Milk supposedly came from cows infused with "sweet wholesome thermonuclear radiation".
  • Throwing Mad Milk on someone who is already under the effects of Jarate cancels out the visual effect of the Jarate but keeps the effects of both, and vice versa.
  • The weapon's development name was Mann Milk, a reference to Mann Co. [1]
  • Spies who backstab someone covered in Mad Milk will be healed up to 4.5 times the victim's health.
  • It was originally a reskin for Bonk! Atomic Punch and it was planned to be used as a lunchbox item ingame, hence the description revolving around taste on Spetch's Special Delivery poster.
  • The name Mad Milk could be a reference to the mythical "Mad Cow Disease".
