— The Scout after generating HYPE

”

The Soda Popper is a community-created primary weapon for the Scout. It is a broken break-action double-barrelled shotgun featuring three black bands around the stock and front, one black band around the slitted barrel, and a band near the trigger guard. A can of Crit-a-Cola is fitted underneath fixed into place with bands as a makeshift handguard.

The Soda Popper shares the reload function of the Force-A-Nature, in that it only has two shells per clip, reloads both shells at once, and discards any rounds still leftover in the chamber. It has a 25% faster reload time when compared to the Force-A-Nature, and fires twice as fast as the default Scattergun.

Equipping the Soda Popper places a "HYPE" meter on the HUD, which fills with damage dealt by any of the Scout's weapons, including the Sandman and Atomizer's Grand Slam taunt. It takes about 350 damage to fill up the HYPE meter, which is approximately 4 point-blank shots from the Soda Popper, 16 close-range Pistol shots, or 10 swings from the Bat. Dealing more than 200 damage in one hit will cap the Hype gained to 50%.

When the HYPE meter is full, pressing Alt-Fire (default key: MOUSE2) while the weapon is active activates Hype mode for 10 seconds, giving the Scout the ability to jump up to five times in mid-air (for a total of six jumps). When HYPE mode is initiated, the player hears the same noise as being hit with the Disciplinary Action, and the Scout's active weapon glows bright purple. In addition to the Scout's air jump particles turning purple, the Atomizer has no effect during Hype mode and does not grant an additional jump.

Bugs

The Hype meter can be activated during end-of-round humiliation time.
On 4:3 resolutions, the Hype meter overlaps the objective HUD.
When viewed in the class selection screen, a shell can be seen behind the Crit-a-Cola portion.
If the Hype mode is activated and the player visits a Resupply Locker to switch weapons, the Soda Popper's effects will be present on the swapped weapons until the Hype runs out.
Damage fills the Hype meter more than it should, being treated as dealing much more damage depending how close the damage amount is to zero.^[2]
If zero damage is dealt due to the target having a large amount of resistances, the Hype meter will still increase as though 1 damage was dealt.

Trivia

The base of the Soda Popper's shells have the radiation hazard symbol (☢) on them.^[3]
Although a can of Crit-a-Cola is strapped to the barrel, a Bonk! Atomic Punch is required instead in the crafting recipe. While coincidental, early versions of the Soda Popper had a can of Bonk! Atomic Punch strapped to the barrel.
