Critical hits are easy to distinguish from their normal hit counterparts. Melee weapons get a different animation for critical hits, projectiles have a team-colored glow and sparkle effect, fire gains team-colored particles effects while bullets gain a team-colored trail.

With maximum fall-off, it only deals 48 damage. However, a critical rocket ignores this while tripling its damage, dealing a whopping 270 damage at any range. The only falloff crits follow are splash falloff, such as from Soldier [[Rocket Launcher|rockets]] or Demoman [[Grenade Launcher|grenades]] or [[Stickybomb Launcher|stickies]]. | ||
