The Bonk Helm is an unlockable headwear item for the Scout. It appears as a team-colored plastic or fiberglass helmet, with an affixed apparatus for holding and drinking two cans of Bonk! Atomic Punch.
Wearing this helmet does not in any way simulate the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch, affect the use of Bonk, or allow the player to hold more Bonk; it is for cosmetic purposes only.

Trivia
- The Bonk Helm is a reference to a similar beverage-carrying headpiece commonly seen on sporting event spectators. This helmet is usually referred to as a "beverage hat," "beer hat," or "foam dome."
- The design bears a resemblance to an earlier community-made hat replacement, which Robin Walker acknowledged prior to the release.
- While the Bonk Helm is equipped, the Scout's default cap is no longer rendered and therefore not visible from underneath, whereas equipping the Batter's Helmet the Scout still keeps the headset and default cap equipped.
- This was the first hat craftable with a specific Blueprint.
- Even when the Scout is wearing this hat, he will still sometimes say "Yo, I'm not even wearin' a helmet!" if you dominate a Soldier.
- The hat description was written by PrO-bOy.
