Each class has its own series of taunts. These can be performed using Default key: G for PC, "X" for Xbox 360 and "Square" for PS3, with most weapons possessing their own unique animation and dialog line(s), though some taunts may be shared between similar weapons. Several lines of dialog are chosen at semi-random during a taunt, with one line being chosen at random and every line after it following a specific order. Taunts are generally used for gloating purposes after killing an opponent, to celebrate a victory, provoke living opponents or simply for comedic effect and for the most part have no direct effect on gameplay. However, certain taunts (known as Taunt Attacks) have effects such as healing the player and stunning, damaging or even killing opponents. Several achievements also require the use of taunts. Caution should be exercised when performing a taunt; while a player performs a taunt, they are left vulnerable and the view shifts from first to third-person, leaving the player unable to act until the taunt is concluded (though Demomen are able to activate their sticky bombs while taunting).

You cannot taunt underwater or while airborne. In addition, Jarate, the Electro sapper, and the Engineer's PDAs all lack taunts. The Heavy's Sandvich and Scout's Bonk! Atomic Punch function both as a consumable and a taunt when activated, moving the player into third person view.

Taunts by Class

Thriller Taunt

During the Haunted Halloween Special event, an extra taunt is added for all classes referencing a dance move from the hit song Thriller by Michael Jackson. The taunt will play at random upon hitting the taunt button and will always activate if a player taunts with an item that possesses no taunt animation (e.g. Jarate). It is only available during the annual Halloween event.[1]
