| − | '''Projectiles''', unlike [[hitscan]] bullets, do not travel instantaneously across the map but rather at a preset speed, differing depending on the projectile, and are often subject to engine physics. Projectiles use a large [[Hitbox#Hit detection|hitbox]] shared by all classes to judge contact, the same as that used by [[melee]] weapons, other players, and the environment. The [[Damage#|damage]] of a projectile is usually determined by the distance the target is from the attacker upon collision or, alternatively, from the spot said attacker was at upon death. Many projectiles have unique properties, which differ depending on the weapon. Projectiles are not affected by [[lag compensation]]. Maps are coded so that at the edge of their area projectiles disappear.

| − | A Heavy's dropped [[Sandvich]]; pieces of destroyed [[Stickybomb Launcher|Stickybombs]], [[building]]s, and [[Electro Sapper|Sappers]]; and dropped weapon [[pickups]] from dead players are not considered projectiles. Although they are launched and subject to engine physics, they have different properties.

| |
| − | The properties of projectiles differ depending on the weapon that fired them. Projectiles often damage on contact like a hitscan bullet. Alternatively, many projectiles generate [[#Explosions|explosions]] upon contact, or in the case of the [[Demoman]], generate explosions and destroy themselves when a certain time has passed (in the case of [[Grenade Launcher|grenades]]) or at the Demoman's cue (in the case of Stickybombs). All projectiles except [[Rocket Launcher|rockets]] and [[energy blast]]s are subject to gravity and fall downward. The damage of the projectiles that are fired from the Demoman's weapons (after five seconds, in the case of stickybombs), the [[Flare Gun]], the [[Detonator]], the [[Manmelter]], a level 3 [[Sentry Gun#Sentry Gun Levels|Sentry Gun]], and the [[Huntsman]] are not affected by distance; however, the [[Crusader's Crossbow]] has an inverted damage falloff (which means damage and healing increase by distance). Certain projectiles apply effects upon contact. The baseballs launched by the [[Sandman]] apply a [[stun]]ning effect, while the [[Wrap Assassin]]'s bauble inflicts [[bleed]], and flares set enemies on [[fire]]. [[Jarate]] and [[Mad Milk]] do not deal damage at all, but instead apply their respective effects to enemies, temporarily remove the [[Cloak]]ing ability from [[Spies]], and put out fires within their splash radius. The [[Blutsauger]] and [[Black Box]] restore health to the firing [[Medic]] or [[Soldier]] on a hit, and the Crusader's Crossbow heals and damages a teammate or enemy respectively. The Huntsman can also be made to apply the fire effect when ignited. Note that effects are not applied when the target is [[ÜberCharge]]d by a [[Medi Gun]].

| − | Stickybombs adhere to the environment, but bounce off spawn walls, players, and certain other objects. Arrows stick to players and the environment, but only cosmetically; syringes also cosmetically stick to the environment. Rockets from a level 3 Sentry Gun track targets slightly and circle each other in flight; the cluster of four is considered a single object.

| − | === Flames ===
| |
| − | {{main|Fire}}
| |
| − | '''Flames''' are large, damage-dealing, player-[[fire|igniting]] 'particles' fired from the Pyro's primary weapons: the [[Flamethrower]], [[Backburner]], [[Degreaser]], [[Rainblower]], and [[Phlogistinator]]. They use the projectile hitbox to judge contact, like projectiles, but do not have a visible model, have both a limited lifetime and a maximum distance, and have their damage largely determined by time since fired rather than [[Damage#Distance and randomness modifier|distance]]. Also unlike projectiles, flames do not stop when they collide with players or [[buildings]], but instead continue moving and dealing damage to other objects until their maximum lifespan is reached. Flames also do not make contact with the environment; however they will not deal damage should the center of the particle first pass through the environment or through [[water]]. Flames have a "negative" curve that cause them to drift upward, and their momentum is partially determined by the firing Pyro's movement.
| |
| − | Both the [[Righteous Bison]] and the [[Pomson 6000]] fire a mass of flame particles instead of a normal projectile, and use the particle hitboxes. However, unlike 'usual' flame particles, their shots do not light targets on fire and have no set lifetime. As such, they are able to light Huntsman arrows , cannot be reflected and penetrate targets.
| |

| − | === Explosions ===
| |
| − | '''Explosions''' are instantly damaging splash effects produced by projectiles (and the [[Kamikaze]] taunt and [[Ullapool Caber]] melee weapon), that usually have significant [[knock back]]. They also use the projectile hitbox. The knock back, size, and damage of explosions vary depending on the projectile that generates them. Explosions cannot pass through walls, and thus conform their shape to the shape of their surroundings. They deal damage and knock back proportional to the amount of hitbox encompassed in their radius and the distance between their origins and the midpoints of affected players. Explosions can hit the player that fired them, which may be used to augment [[jumping]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[compression blast]] and splash effects from Jarate and Mad Milk are sometimes classified as explosions, and have similar properties, conforming to walls in the same way.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Explosions (with the exception of the [[Scottish Resistance]]) will not destroy stickybombs but will knock them away.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Syringes ===
| |
| − | '''Syringes''', fired by the [[Syringe Gun]], the [[Blutsauger]] and the [[Overdose]], are the only projectile amongst Stock weapons that cannot be destroyed or reflected by other projectiles or a compression blast. They also deal bullet damage (therefore inflicting bonus damage to enemies with a weakness to bullets and disarming Stickybombs), which is also unique amongst projectiles.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Other properties of projectiles ===
| |
| − | The compression blast ability of the Pyro's [[Pyro#Primary|primary]] weapons can reflect all projectiles except syringes and small energy beams from the [[Righteous Bison]] and the [[Pomson 6000]]. With the exception of Stickybombs, once reflected, projectiles switch ownership to the [[Pyro]] who reflected them and deal [[Mini-Crit]] damage on enemies they hit. Baseballs from the [[Sandman]] can be reflected by a well-timed swing with the Sandman.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Huntsman's arrows [[Critical hit|critical]]ly headshot when they pierce a particular area of the projectile hitbox that is shared by all classes, although the [[Crusader's Crossbow]], which shares the same projectile, does not. The [[Backburner]] Crits when attacking an area behind of the hitbox. The flares from a [[Flare Gun]] deal Critical hits on burning players.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When colliding in mid-air, Critical projectiles and arrows destroy other projectiles. Flares can destroy other flares. Stickybombs can be destroyed by bullets, syringes, melee weapons, or [[Scottish Resistance]]'s stickybombs, dropping [[ammo]].
