I'm not even winded!
The Scout after generating hype

The Soda Popper is a community-made primary weapon for the Scout. It is a broken Force-A-Nature repaired with several black bands and outfitted with slitted barrels. A can of Crit-a-Cola is attached underneath.

The weapon reloads 25% faster than the Force-A-Nature and offers 50% faster firing speed compared to the default Scattergun. However, it is restricted to loading only two shells at a time, and it is incapable of delivering random critical hits.

In addition, equipping the Soda Popper places a "hype" meter on the HUD, which charges whilst the player is moving with the weapon in use. It takes approximately 5200 Hammer units of distance traveled, either through running or jumping, to fill up the hype meter. When the meter is full, all weapons will automatically deal mini-crits for 8 seconds. Much like the Force-A-Nature, the reload will replace both shells even when one shell is still available in the ammunition reserve, and the second shot is wasted.
