A Scout gibbing. Clearly noticable are his headset, Ellis' Cap, as well as his regular hat.

The Demoman on postmortem repair work

Gibs or giblets are the bits and pieces of a player's body that are left after the player has been killed in a specific manner, often explosive in nature. When a player is gibbed, their body parts may be highlighted on the Deathcam. Deaths caused by rockets,[1] grenades,[1] stickybombs, the Eyelander, the Scotsman's Skullcutter, the Claidheamh Mòr, the Engineer's Organ Grinder taunt or the Soldier's Kamikaze taunt result in the creation of gibs. Additionally, the Horseless Headless Horsemann always drops its own unique gibs on death.

The term gibs also encapsulates debris left by destroyed buildings,[2] stickybombs,[2] Electro Sappers,[2] Razorbacks, Guitars, props, and the fallout from the explosion upon the attacking teams' victory on the final stage of a Payload map. "Gib" can also be used as a verb, e.g. "gibbing" someone, meaning reducing an enemy to gibs by blowing them up with a rocket or grenade.

Players can gib themselves on command by entering explode into the console (similar to suiciding by entering kill).

The server setting tf_playergib can also be used to modify gibbing behaviour: when it is set to 0, players will not gib at all, no matter what kills them. When set to 1 (the default setting), gibbing behaviour is as normal. Finally, when it is set to 2 (ie; tf_playergib 2), players will gib when killed by practically any means - be it a Backstab, an environmental kill, or a humble Shotgun blast.

Notes

  1. a b A player will only gib on a direct hit from one of these weapons.
  2. a b c Players can obtain ammo and metal from these gibs.

Bugs

  • Notification boxes that label the bodypart appear on censored gibs, even the censored versions of Team Fortress 2.
  • The Engineer's right hand gib will always be his glove, even when the Gunslinger is equipped.
  • Gibs, with the exception of the Soldier's, do not show the class' final designs. For example, a gibbed Scout has a different shoe design, and his socks have stripes.

Trivia

  • If a player wearing a hat is gibbed, their hat will either disappear, or appear alongside the default hat in the player's gibs.
