Crit-a-Cola, known in full as Bonk! Crit-a-Cola, is a secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a purple soda can manufactured by the Bonk! company, and sports the tagline 'Manliness guaranteed!'.
When the drink is ingested, it gives the Scout the ability to deal mini-crits for 6 seconds with any equipped weapon. However, mini-crits can also be inflicted against the Scout by any enemy for the same duration, therefore Crit-a-Cola is better suited for players who can avoid taking fire while still dealing considerable damage to opponents.
