The Scout on drinking Bonk!

The Bonk Helm is an unlockable headwear item for the Scout. It appears as a team-colored plastic or fiberglass helmet, with an affixed apparatus for holding and drinking two cans of Bonk! Atomic Punch.

Wearing this helmet does not in any way simulate the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch, affect the use of Bonk, or allow the player to hold more Bonk; it is for cosmetic purposes only.
