The Basics Of Taunt Killing
By Heavykiin and 1 collaborators
Taunt Killing is not an easy thing to do, they have timing, distance and most of all, FRUSTATION. So I will explain as much as possible about the easiest taunt kills, the hardest and the longest and shortest. LETS GO!

(Scout) Home Run
First, we will talk about Scouts Home Run taunt kill. To get this taunt kill you will need the Sandman bat or the Atomizer. This taunt lasts 5 seconds before you can actually hit you target so try to keep out of sight when you have pressed your taunt button (G). If you have sucessfully killed your target, CONGRATULATIONS, you deserve a cookie :D. This taunt will take 500 health away from your target so it will instantly kill them.
(Soldier) Kamikaze
Next we will talk about the soldiers Kamikaze taunt, this taunt is very hard to use for new players due to it ALWAYS killing you on taunt but for people who think they are up for it, I'll explain it. To do this taunt you will need the escape plan or the Equalizer. Pressing G will force your soldier to throw his pick away, grab a grenade and suicide taking anyone near him with him. This taunt lasts 4 seconds until it will work. It has a 6ft blast radius for you to kill other players and will destroy buildings, why? because camping is why. This taunt isn't a silent one, Soldier will say "come here, cupcake!" in the time span of you pressing g so take caution with who you are planning to kill. And if you can manage to wedge yourself underneath a bridge, a roof or something similar, the kamikaze's grenade won't actually kill you, so you can spam the G button all you want and annoy the whole other team. Who doesn't like doing that?
(Pyro) Hadouken
Now we will talk about the Pyro's secondary taunt, this taunt works with any secondary except the scorch shot. Upon pressing G, pyro will cause a burst of fire to kill multiple enemy's and buildings. No, it doesn't go really far like Ryu's Hadouken but it can still pack a punch for your enemy. this taunt is great for corners due to the fast speed of the taunt and leaves no remains (accept the burning body on the floor...)
(Pyro) ARMAGEDDON
YOUR BODYS WILL BE BURNT TO DUST AS PYRO UNLEASHES HIS INNER EVIL ON MERCENARY MORTALS LIKE YOU. NO ONE WILL SURVIVE THE WRATH OF THIS TAUNT AS ♪bubbles and rainbows fly across the sky and♪ BURN IN HELL! THE ♪balloonicorn♪ WILL RISE FROM HELL AS ♪you have a sweet time♪ DEST♪ovin♪♪ENEM♪FriDNSAK JSN ISX I CUEHUNZUH CJENHJCNZUHNDCKNKMXKCNVEJCHI N --------
(Pyro) Execution
Sorry, i got a little carried away on that last one... But hey! im back to tell you about another Pyro taunt. this taunt can only be used by the scorch shot secondary for pyro. This weapon will only taunt kill when the enemy is close because it wouldn't be fair if it was a long way away. If it is a long way away then it will deal regular damage from the scorch shot. This taunt dosen't need too much explaining because this is only a basic guide. Kids out there, don't main pyro... Please.
(Demoman) Decapitation
We will now talk about the Demomans multi sword taunt. when a sucessful head is taken off, it will count to the buffs and debuffs of that weapon (eyelander - collect heads half-zatoichi - heal bonus) this taunt takes a LONG time to complete so watch for who you are killing because it is very easy to know if someone is going to taunt with it. Playing Demoknight is very useful in this case because the sword IS the only weapon you have so try as hard as possible to kill your target! ps. super satisfying if you kill someone.
(Heavy) Showdown
Now for my favourite Taunt, Showdown! Now this is one for an all-round player, upon pressing G your heavy will get ready to shoot a handgun (literally) and say "pow!" as soon as he says Pow! he shoots and instantly kills. If you have just started, you will automaticly have this taunt, but take causion when using it because all of your enemys will be saying "hey look a taunting fat man" if they see you so be careful where you use it. It is the fastest taunt kill as we know and will come in handy when you are stuck in a coridor with a pyro.
(Engineer) Dischord
"Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer that means I hit people over the head with a guitar" - Engineer

We will now talk about the Engineers taunt that will need the frontier justice shotgun to work. So, press that G button, sit back, relax and watch as your enemy gets humiliated because they just realised they got hit over the head buy a guitar. if I have seen anybody use this taunt, it was because the enemy target was standing still doing nothing. I haven't seen one single person use this strategically. The only good thing about this taunt is that it snaps their neck if you hit a person.
YEE-HAW!
(Engineer) Organ Grinder
Eew, that name... it gives me the heebie-jeebies. And it will give your enemy the heebie-jeebies too because of how it kills them. The organ grinder taunt can be only use by the gunslinger wrench. Engineer revs up his gunslinger and proceeds to stun his opponent before killing him, once the taunt ends, the target will explode into glorious blood and guts. Just remember that the sound is very loud and easy to see if you are taunting so take caution of how you use it.
(Medic) Spinal Tap
Now we will talk about the Medic's Übersaw taunt. on a successful kill, you will receive full Über charge, even if they were on low health and couldn't get full charge from one or two hits. This taunt is NOT SILENT AT ALL, medic will shout "I'M GOING TO SAW THROUGH YOUR BONES!" which can make it very hard for you to kill your target. A successful hit from the Übersaw will stun your opponent and instantly kill them. keep in mind that this is more of a strategy taunt than a casual taunt.
(Sniper) Skewer
now we will talk about snipers huntsman taunt. this taunt will stun your opponent to keep them in place but if they are moving, they have time to get out of the taunt but will still be stunned. this is useful for when spys come along behind you and you can quickly stun them to keep them in place. This is another loud taunt to bring your enemys closer so keep in mind that you need to use it in special moments.
(Spy) Fencing
We are on to our last taunt kill by the spy. This taunt can be used by every knife except the
spy-cicle. DO NOT USE ON PEOPLE STANDING STILL, the reason is that it does regular damage with two hits like he is fencing and then there is one final blow that will kill your target. The best way to use it is behind corners so you can make it a sneaky kill. This is not a recommended for casual because of how its been made.
Conclusion
Well i have finished talking about taunt kills for one day. Taunt kills may be hard to do but thay are still fun, and i think that taunt kills are just one of that things that make TF2 an awesome game. Thanks for reading :3

I have a question, so i did a medic last resort move of hiding behind a wall the ubersaw taunt killing but it only stunned the soldier that was after me no one else was around as i had led him inside a building away from the action. HOW?!?!?!?!??!
