Skullcracker publicity blurb

The Skullcracker is a special taunt for all classes.

When activated through the taunts menu, the character taps on their head and invites others for a headbutt. When another player taunts in front of them, the two characters grab each other's hand and then bash heads, with blood splashing from the impact (with the exception of the Engineer).

Any other player (including bots), regardless of their team or if they own the taunt, can join.

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