Atomic Punch, it appears as a purple can of cola which, when ingested, gives the drinker Mini-crits for 6 seconds. However, Mini-crits will also be inflicted against the Scout during his buff duration.

Trivia

  • The name 'Crit-a-Cola' is a play on popular soft-drink brand name 'Coca-Cola'. The name also sounds like the word 'Critical' spoken with unusual emphasis.
  • When this weapon was first released, it and Bonk! Atomic Punch looked identical, including the liquid emitted from the item upon switching to it.
  • 'Crit-a-Cola' appears to be another beverage which appears under the Bonk! brand-name, rather than a new product all its own.
While Cherry Fission-flavored Bonk! proclaimed Now With Isotopes!, and Blutonium Berry-flavoured Bonk! assured us it contained 33% More Radiation!, Crit-a-Cola's label states Manliness Guaranteed!
  • When you die while holding the Crit-a-Cola, it will appear as Bonk! Atomic Punch instead.
  • The Crit-a-Cola and Bonk! Atomic Punch can be considered counterparts: the former gives you more damaging capabilities in exchange of taking more damage and the latter prevents you from taking damage, but also from dealing any.
  • Crit-a-Cola is the only droppable weapon not to be added in a major class update or in any community contribute site patch.
  • The lines said by a Scout while under the effects of Crit-a-Cola are the same as his Bonk! Atomic Punch lines, despite their obviously different functions.
  • Crit-a-cola is the only weapon with achievements tied to it that cannot be unlocked by Milestones.
