Rock, Paper, Scissors is a two-player taunt. Similar to the High Five! taunt, when the initiator presses the action button, their character will enter a pose inviting someone else to join. Once another player accepts the challenge, the two face off in a rock-paper-scissors match. The choice of throw is randomly selected and does not appear to allow ties. Once the throws are played, icons appear showing what the throws are, the winner's icon appears with a bright outline around it, while the loser's does not. Afterwards the two participants react accordingly by using a victory or losing dance.

Should two players of opposite teams face off with this taunt, the loser will be killed by exploding, which is recorded as a taunt kill based on the winner's class and equipped weapon.
