When a player [[death|dies]] in Team Fortress 2, the event is logged briefly in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (occasionally referred to as a kill panel or death notice), displaying from left to right the name of the player (and, if applicable, an [[Kill assist|assisting player]]) responsible for the kill, an icon that reflects the nature of the death and then the name of the player who died. The icon is referred to as the '''kill icon''' or death notice icon. Additionally, all event logs involving the player are tinted pale yellow (in comparison to the normal brown) and remain on-screen for a longer period of time, in order to assist the player in keeping track of their events. If the death was the result of [[Critical hits|critical damage]], then the icon has a red glowing effect behind it.

When a player [[Death|dies]] in ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', the event is logged briefly in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (occasionally referred to as a kill feed or death notice), displaying from left to right the name of the player (and, if applicable, an [[Kill assist|assisting player]]) responsible for the kill, an icon that reflects the nature of the death, and then the name of the player who died. The icon is referred to as the '''kill icon''', or death notice icon. Additionally, all event logs involving the player are tinted pale yellow (in comparison to the normal brown) and remain on-screen for a longer period of time in order to assist the player in keeping track of their events. If the death was the result of [[Critical hits|critical damage]], then the icon has a red glowing effect behind it; if the weapon used is one of the [[Australium weapons]], it has a golden glowing effect instead behind it.
  
Most weapons have unique kill icons, but there are some that refer to multiple weapons.

The first was used in-game from the [[May 21, 2009 Patch|Sniper vs. Spy Update]] to the [[Engineer Update]], but was changed to the Sniper Rifle headshot icon for unknown reasons. The second icon was included in the game files, but never used in-game, and is only assumed to be related to the Ambassador.

| These two kill icons were introduced for custom use by community developers. The first appears as a skull and crossbones surrounded by flames and the second as an explosion. Their use in custom maps and mods could extend to lava or intense heat, or explosives such as bombs or mines.

When a player dies in Team Fortress 2, the event is logged briefly in the upper right-hand corner of the screen (occasionally referred to as a kill feed or death notice), displaying from left to right the name of the player (and, if applicable, an assisting player) responsible for the kill, an icon that reflects the nature of the death, and then the name of the player who died. The icon is referred to as the kill icon, or death notice icon. Additionally, all event logs involving the player are tinted pale yellow (in comparison to the normal brown) and remain on-screen for a longer period of time in order to assist the player in keeping track of their events. If the death was the result of critical damage, then the icon has a red glowing effect behind it; if the weapon used is one of the Australium weapons, it has a golden glowing effect instead behind it.

Most weapons have unique kill icons, but there are some that refer to multiple weapons.

Weapons

These icons are used when one player inflicts a death upon another using a weapon.

There are several unused kill icons that can be found in the game files. Some of these icons are included for custom use by the community, others appear to have been replaced by the currently used kill icons or possibly had their accompanying concept scrapped.

Bugs

  • If Scottish Resistance Stickybombs are detonated while moving (i.e. immediately after they are pushed by compression blast, rockets, grenades, or while in mid-flight) the kill feed shows the Stickybomb Launcher kill icon.
  • If the target dies from the afterburn of the Hadouken, it shows the Flame Thrower's kill icon rather than the Hadouken/Flare Gun's kill icon.
  • The Detonator's kill icon is cut off; the explosion is missing.
  • The Level 1 Sentry Gun's kill icon is cut off; the bullet present in the three other sentry kill icons is not included.
  • The Sniper Rifle headshot's kill icon is cut off; the bullet appears to have been cut in half.
    • The headshot kill icon for the Ambassador is unaffected, despite being shared with the Sniper Rifle.
  • The Tribalman's Shiv's kill icon is pictured upside down.
  • Sniper Rifles cannot headshot within 0.2 seconds after zooming in; however, if the player is crit-boosted and shoots on a head within 0.2s it shows up as the headshot icon.
  • Deflected Sandman balls and Wrap Assassin baubles show that the enemy killed themselves with the ball/bleeding kill icon.
  • Deflected flare kills show a different flare gun kill icon depending on the weapon equipped by the player getting the deflect kill:[1]
    • Flare Gun - Deflected flare kill icon.
    • Detonator - Detonator kill icon.
    • Scorch Shot - Scorch Shot kill icon.
    • Manmelter - Deflected flare kill icon.
    • Any other Pyro secondary weapon (shotguns, Thermal Thruster, and Gas Passer) - Deflected flare kill icon.
