The Heavy

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 panel 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.

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.

Unused

See also: Unused content

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 Some of these icons are included for custom use by the community, others appear to have been replaced by the currently used kill icons or possibly had their accompanying concept scrapped.

Name Icon Potential use
Health dead.png Enviromental death Killicon fire.png Killicon explosion.png 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.
Half Zatoichi.png Half-Zatoichi Killicon half-zatoichi duel.png An alternate kill icon for the Half-Zatoichi, assumedly designed for when a Half-Zatoichi wielder instantly kills another Half-Zatoichi wielder.
Item icon Flame Thrower.png Deflected arrow headshot Killicon deflect arrowhs unused.png Scoring a headshot with a deflected arrow.
Deflected flaming arrow Killicon deflect flaming arrow.png Scoring a kill with a deflected flaming arrow.
Deflected flaming arrow headshot Killicon deflect flaming arrowhs.png Scoring a headshot with a deflected flaming arrow.
Deflected Sandman ball Killicon deflect ball.png Scoring a kill with a deflected ball.
RED Level 1 Sentry Gun.png Level 1 Sentry Gun Killicon sentry1 unused.png This icon appears similar to the standard Level 1 Sentry kill icon with one clear difference: the Sentry appears to have some kind of laser attached to the top. The icon was introduced to the game files months before the Engineer Update.
Item icon Huntsman.png Flaming arrow headshot Killicon flaming huntsmanhs.png Kill icon added with the Engineer Update for scoring a kill with a flaming arrow headshot.
Item icon Ambassador.png Ambassador headshot Killicon ambassadorhs unused2.png Killicon ambassadorhs unused.png Two headshot icons for the Spy's Ambassador. The first was used in-game from the 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.
Item icon Sniper Rifle.png Sniper Rifle headshot Killicon sniperriflehs old.png Kill icon used before the Engineer update.

These unused kill icons were created and contributed by NeoDement.
