	Random critical hits is a mechanic where many [[Melee]] weapons in TF2C have a chance to randomly deal critical damage, a chance which scales based on the amount of damage and healing done recently from 12-60%. Due to this, [[Snipers]] and [[Demomen]] have the highest random crit chance due to their high damage output, alongside [[Medic]]s due to their healing abilities. The [[Admiralty Anchor]], [[Harvester]], [[Shock Therapy]], [[Chekhov's Punch]] and the [[Knife]] all cannot randomly crit.

	== Mini crits ==		== Mini crits ==

	Mini crits can be thought of as less extreme critical hits. Instead of tripling a weapon's damage, they only increase it by 35%. They too like critical hits ignore damage fall-off, but unlike critical hits they factor damage ramp-up. Full critical hits override mini crits. For instance, if an enemy is Marked for Death but you manage to hit a critical hit, the mini-crit will be ignored and will instead factor the normal critical hit. It is because of this critical hits are sometimes referred to as full crits to distinguish them from mini-crits.		Mini crits can be thought of as less extreme critical hits.

	A crit boost is a state when a weapon will deal guaranteed critical hits for a certain duration of time. A crit boost is shown by the weapon glowing the team's respective color, with sparks of electricity surging from it, accompanied by an electric sound effect. The visual effects will still be present however.		A crit boost is a state when a weapon will deal guaranteed critical hits for a certain duration of time.
