 Taunt: Flippin' Awesome |
|
| “ | The Wright Brothers required mechanical breakthroughs and years of work to fly. All you need is a wide-open sky and a helping hand.

The Flippin' Awesome is a two-player Action taunt for all classes.
When initiated, the player will crouch and form their hands into a cup, whilst saying a voice line. This pose will continue indefinitely until another player taunts in front of the initiator. The initiator will then allow the other player to jump into their cupped hands and hoist them into the air to perform a backflip.
When a Heavy is flipped, he will instead land on his head. If the Heavy is the initiator, he will use one finger to flip the other player rather than both his hands.
