Rock, Paper, Scissors publicity blurb

Rock, Paper, Scissors is a special taunt for all classes.

When the player selects it from the taunts menu, the character enters a pose inviting someone else to join. Once another player accepts the challenge by taunting in front of them, the two face off in a rock-paper-scissors match. The choice of throw is randomly selected and does not allow ties. Once the throws are played, icons appear showing what the throws are, the winner's icon appearing with a bright outline around it, while the loser's does not. Afterwards, the two participants react accordingly by using a mini-taunt, a winning and a losing one.

Any other player (including bots), regardless of their team or if they own the taunt, can join any taunting player by standing close to them and pressing the taunt button. Other players will see an icon above the dancer's head which indicates if the taunt is active.

Should two players of opposite teams face off with this taunt, the loser is killed by exploding, which is recorded as a taunt kill delivered from the winner's active weapon at the time of initiating or joining the taunt. This does not increase a Killstreak or the kill count for Strange weapons, although points will be recorded for Strange cosmetic items. The loser won't be killed during the taunt winner decision if they are under the effects of ÜberCharge or Bonk! Atomic Punch or if the winner is killed before the taunt ends.

For the voice lines of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.
