Bonk! Atomic Punch is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a small energy drink can with a team appropriate label. RED's flavor of Bonk! is "Cherry Fission", while the BLU version is "Blutonium Berry".
Upon drinking, this weapon provides temporary invincibility to the player from any type of damage bar environmental and telefragging. The player's view is forced into third-person mode upon drinking, during which they can maneouvre and jump as they see fit but be unable to use weapons. When any of type of bullet or projectile hits a Scout under the drink's effects, a "Miss!" signal will appear above the class's head followed by one of many responses. The Scout has unlimited Bonk! cans at his disposal, but cannot take out another can until his cooldown period (shown in the HUD) is over.
Sentry Guns will not damage a Scout under the influence of Bonk!, but he will still experience knockback. If a Scout is set on fire while he drinks Bonk!, he will not take damage from further Flamethrower attacks or from afterburn, but will resume being damaged by the flames should they persist after the drink wears off. It is possible to be soaked with Jarate while under the effect of Bonk!, but it will only affect the damage taken after Bonk!'s effects have worn off. Bonk! cannot be used while carrying the intelligence, nor can a Scout grab the intelligence under the effect of Bonk!.

Previous Changes
- The ammo count can no longer be exploited through use of a resupply cabinet.
- The lack of phase effect on a Scout under the effects of Bonk! is fixed; it had previously been missing for a while.
- The slowdown disadvantage after using the weapon is removed as a balance fixture. A cooldown bar is added before it can be used, similar to the Sandman's Balls.
- Scouts will always switch to a melee weapon upon drinking Bonk!. This was done to fix the issue of players being able to fire their weapons immediately after drinking by holding the primary fire button.
Trivia
- The ingredients of Bonk! and Crit-a-Cola are water, radiation, and sugar.
