They always say that milk does a body good. What they don't know is that we've carefully infused our cows with some sweet wholesome thermonuclear radiation. Our milk tastes great and it will also give you the strength to kick ass!
Mad Milk publicity blurb

Mad Milk is a community-made secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a non-descript bottle of "milk" with no cap. The liquid inside sloshes with movement.

Unlike the other drinks available to the Scout, Mad Milk functions similarly to Jarate and can be thrown at enemies as a projectile. Victims will continually drip white beads of substance and be notified by a corresponding white droplet on the HUD, next to their health meter. It is possible for a player to throw a "critical" Mad Milk with a team-colored effect, but the effect is purely cosmetic.

When a target is covered in Mad Milk, 60% of all damage taken will be returned as health to any attacker for 10 seconds, with the only exceptions being damage done by an Engineer’s Sentry Gun and afterburn damage. The healing provided by Mad Milk will not overheal a player.

Mad Milk can also extinguish teammates on fire and reveal enemy Spies. Unlike Jarate, however, it does not short out the Spy's Cloaking device; invisible Spies under the effects of Mad Milk remain invisible and will not reveal disguises or team colors, but the dripping white beads make them easy to locate.

Aside from dying, the only ways to prematurely remove the effects of Mad Milk are by visiting a Resupply locker, by being submerged in water, or by being healed for an extended period of time.

If an enemy Pyro manages to airblast the Milk back to the Scout or any of his teammates, the enemy team could recover health by damaging those who have been splashed by the Mad Milk.

While playing in Colorblind mode, a white raindrop icon appears above any players sodden with the weapon.

Bugs

  • If the player presses and continues to hold down their primary firing key with Mad Milk the Scout will throw it, but will never swap over to another slot weapon; also resulting in the Scout's hand view model being at the lower part of the screen, the player can also taunt while doing this which will go through the taunting animation then swap over to the Scout's melee weapon.
  • When thrown at Pumpkin bombs, the resulting explosion is capable of dealing damage to teammates as though they were enemies.
  • Throwing Mad Milk on someone who is already under the effects of Jarate will cancel out the visual effect of the Jarate but keeps the debuff effects of both. The case is the same vice versa.

Trivia

  • Mad Milk supposedly came from cows infused with "sweet, wholesome thermonuclear radiation".
  • The weapon's development name was "Mann Milk", a reference to Mann Co. [1].
  • Mad Milk was originally a reskin for Bonk! Atomic Punch and was planned to be used as a lunchbox item in-game, hence the description revolving around taste on Spetch's Special Delivery poster.
  • The glass bottle in which the Mad Milk is carried in was a common container used during milk delivery in the 1950's; this fits in with the "milkman" theme.
  • The Sniper achievements Jarring Transition and Number One Assistant can be earned with the Mad Milk.
