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 from the Bonk! company, sporting the tagline "Manliness guaranteed!".

When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal mini-crits for 6 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, mini-crits can also be inflicted against the Scout by any enemy for the duration; therefore, Crit-a-Cola is better suited for players who can avoid taking fire while dealing considerable damage to opponents.
