The Caltrop is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress game, used exclusively by the Scout class. When the “secondary grenade” key is pressed, a second passes, then the player releases six caltrops in a circle pattern. When an enemy walks on a caltrop, they will suffer a small amount of damage, and their maximum speed will decrease. This effect is similar to that of being shot in the leg with the Sniper Rifle. The effects of a caltrop can be stacked. The player that released the caltrops is not immune to their effect, and will suffer from the maximum speed penalty an enemy would if stepped on. The movement penalty from caltrops can be removed by passing through a door.

Trivia

  • The Caltrop was originally intended to be used in Team Fortress 2 in the form of the Bear trap, but was scrapped when grenades were removed from the game prior to its release.
