Teletappo on kuolintapa, jonka pelaaja kokee seisoessaan liian lähellä teleportin uloskäyntiä vihollisen käyttäessä sitä. Kaikki pelaajat, jotka ovat samassa kohdassa kuin paikalle teleporttaava vihollinen, kuolevat välittömästi ja teleporttaaja ilmestyy paikalle normaalisti. Useita pelaajia voi teletappaa kerralla, jos he kaikki ovat teleporttaajan törmäyslaatikon sisäpuolella.
Teletappo aiheuttaa 1000 vahinkopistettä ja se näytetään "määrittelemättömän kuoleman" pääkallolla ja sääriluilla. Teleporttaava pelaaja saa aiheuttamansa vahingon ja tapon omiin nimiinsä; koska teletapot ovat suhteellisen harvinaisia eikä niitä merkitä kovin selkeästi, useimmat niistä jäävät muilta pelaajilta huomaamatta.
Teletappo voi tapahtua kolmella eri tavalla: either a player is too close to an enemy teleporter exit as an enemy uses it, a player being too close to a friendly teleporter exit that is then used by an enemy Spy, or a player teleporting directly under an enemy using the Teleport Spell. It is not possible to telefrag allies unless friendly fire is enabled. Players can be telefragged even if they are ÜberCharged, under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch, wielding the Dead Ringer, or under any other damage-reducing effect. However, Pyros in the process of activating their Phlogistinator's "Mmmph" can survive a telefrag.
A particularly devious Spy strategy involves sapping an Engineer's teleporter entrance and then standing on it. If the Engineer is careless and is standing too close to the exit while removing the Sapper, the Spy will instantly teleport the moment the Sapper is removed, telefragging the Engineer and allowing the Spy to sap the Engineer's remaining buildings at his leisure. This tactic can also work in reverse; careless Spies sapping an exit may wind up being telefragged by an Engineer repairing the entrance. Similarly, Engineers can place their Teleporters at chokepoints and telefrag enemies as they walk over.

Update history
[Unknown Date]
- Telefrags are now credited to the player teleporting, not to the Teleporter Exit.
- Fixed Spies not being telefragged when standing on an enemy teleporter exit with the Dead Ringer enabled.
- Fixed server log not listing telefrag kills as weapon "telefrag"
- Fixed defense buffs reducing crush and telefrag damage
Trivia
- Telefrags exist as a holdover of the old Quake/Team Fortress engine. In some maps teleportation was required to complete objectives, but a player teleporting into an enemy would result in them getting stuck inside each other. Telefrags were the solution to this problem, as the alternative - teleporters not working if an enemy is standing on the exit - was considered exploitable.
- The term "telefrag" itself was coined by the community of id Software's earlier title, Doom. "Frag" is the word used for the point awarded for a kill in the Doom and Quake series.
- From the game's release up to an unknown date, telefrags were credited to the Teleporter Exit, not the player teleporting. Thus, one could have had a Deathcam that displays, "You have been killed by the Teleporter Exit of X"/"You have been killed by the Teleporter Exit of the late X".
- As the damage caused by telefrags is credited to the teleporting player, any abilities that charge through damage dealt (such as Buff Banner rage) will be filled with a successful telefrag.
