You morons are about to catch a real beatin'.
The Scout

Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk! Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a purple soda can manufactured by the Bonk! company, and sports the tagline 'Manliness guaranteed!'.

When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal mini-crits for 8 seconds with any equipped weapon and increases speed by 25%. However when consumed with the maximum speed of the Baby Face's Blaster the movement speed only increases 2.5 units/second. Any damage taken while under the effect of Crit-a-Cola will be mini-crits.
