Bonk! Atomic Punch is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a small soda drinks can with a team appropriate label. RED's flavor of Bonk! is "Cherry Fission", while the BLU version is "Blutonium Berry".
The drink provides temporary invincibility to the class from any type of damage bar environmental. The player's view is forced into third-person mode at this time. When any of type of bullet or projectile hits a Scout under the drink's effects, a "Miss!" signal will appear above the class's head followed by one of many responses. The Scout has unlimited Bonk! cans at his disposal, but cannot take out another can until his cooldown period (shown in the HUD) is over.
Sentry Guns will not damage a Scout under the influence of Bonk!, but he will still experience knockback. If a Scout is set on fire while he drinks Bonk!, he will not take damage from further Flamethrower attacks or from afterbun, but will resume being damaged by the flames should they persist after the drink wears off. It is possible to be soaked with Jarate while under the effect of Bonk!, but it will only affect the damage you take after Bonk!'s effects have worn off.
Bonk! cannot be used while carrying the intelligence, nor can a Scout grab the intelligence under the effect of Bonk!.

Trivia
- The ingredients of Bonk! and Crit-a-Cola are water, radiation and sugar.
- An active adult's daily recommended sugar intake is around 90g. Assuming the drink really contained the advertised "several hundred times" worth of daily recommended sugar, the can's contents would have to weigh at least 9 kg, about 20 lbs.
- The Sandman's Home Run is the only attack the Scout can perform during the invulnerability period of Bonk! Atomic Punch.
- Currently, a bug with Bonk! results in the afterburn from the Flare Gun not being "dodged".
- Drinking a Bonk! and then walking into a Resupply Cabinet will cancel the effects of your Bonk!
- While under the effects of Bonk! a Scout can still die from being tele-fragged.
