Pit Fall Death

Environmental death Fall.png

It is different from Fall damage as there is no chance of survival, even if under the effect of an ÜberCharge. This is usually the result of falling to an area with no ground underneath.

Drowning

Main article: Water

The character must stay underwater for 12 seconds before he begins to suffocate. Failure to rise above water will cause him to continually lose 5 health every second, until he drowns. Heath lost will slowly regenerate at a rate of 10 health every 2 seconds as soon as you reach the surface. Going back underwater water however will cease health regeneration until the player surfaces again.

Pumpkin Bombs

Main article: Pumpkin bombs

Pumpkin Bombs are special pumpkins found only on Harvest Event and Mann Manor during the Halloween Events (or on server running those 2 particular maps). Once this pumkpin receives damage (from bullets, projectiles or melee) it explodes, hurting everyone around it.

Pumpkin Bombs should not be confused with Halloween Pumpkins. Ways to tell them apart are: Pumpkin Bombs do not move, where as Halloween Pumpkins will rotate similar to health packs or ammo; Pumpkin Bombs will always spawn in the same spots, while Halloween Pumpkins will spawn anywhere on the map.

Cart Explosion

Environmental death Cart Explosion.png
Main article: Payload

The last round of any Payload or Payload Race maps, the Cart will explode when you reach the last point, killing everyone nearby.

For maps that are only a single round, the cart will explode as soon at it arrives at the final terminal. On maps with 3 rounds, the cart will lower into the ground at the end of the first 2 rounds, and will only explode at the last point of the last round, symbolizing BLU's victory.

Once the Payload has successfully been delivered to the final terminus, it will usual lower into the ground before exploding. This will cause all player in the surrounding area to be killed due to said explosion. Falling the the holes created will result in a Pit Fall Death.

Gate Crush

Main article: Degroot Keep

The castle gate on Degroot Keep closes after a certain amount of time if the last point isn't capture, refreshing the two first points too. If a player is standing right underneath the gate when it lowers for closing, he will be crushed and die.
