The "Conga" is an Action taunt for all classes.

When the player selects it from the taunt menu, the character will begin to slowly move forward while dancing the "conga"; this is accompanied by a light, repeated drum beat in the background. If playing as a Scout, he will also clap his hands above his head periodically (note: the sound of that clapping conflicts with the voice line the Scout is speaking, and the voice line will subsequently be interrupted). The player can rotate their character by pressing the A and D keys. This taunt will continue to repeat itself until the character is killed, or by pressing either the action button or the jump button to stop.

Any other player (Including bots), regardless of team or if they own the taunt, can join any player who is in the "conga" by standing close to them, and pressing the action button. Other players will see an icon above the dancer's head which indicates if the taunt is active. Unlike other taunts, the Conga can be spread throughout the players on a server, and is not limited to two people.

Bugs

  • Sometimes the Conga taunt will not play correctly and it will show the idle animation of the class currently in the taunt.
  • The Scout's clapping sounds interfere and conflict with his voice commands and spoken conga lines.

Trivia

  • The "conga" was originally a dance that was performed in the streets of Cuba. People in Havana were actually forbidden to do the conga due to the amount of adrenaline and excitement that fuelled fighting in the streets near elections. Eventually, Cuban President Fulgencio Batista permitted the people to dance congas during elections, but with a police permit. Spy refers to this in a line where he says "Dancing! It is the forbidden dance!"
