The High Five! is an action item for all classes.

This item can be purchased at the Mann Co. Store or found randomly via the drop system. When the player holds down the action button, their character will enter one of two class-specific poses with the right hand held up high. Any nearby ally can then stand in front of the player and initiate a dual animation by activating their own High Five! or standard taunt. Only the initiator needs to have the item equipped in order to successfully complete the action.

If the High Five! is initiated with insufficient space to perform the co-op taunt, such as a map height difference or obstacle in front of the player, the taunt will not initiate and a message will appear on the HUD informing the player of why they cannot taunt.

Other nearby friendly players will receive a tutorial-like prompt on their screen the first time they see an ally initiate a High Five informing them of how and where to accept it.

The High Five! mechanics are based on a similar mechanic in Portal 2.
