How to Set a Kill Bind in TF2

Team Fortress 2 is one of the most popular team multiplayer games on the market. Even years after its release, it continues to attract players every day, and I even jump on the game from time to time to have fun with my friends. During these sessions, my favorite thing to do with my friends in custom lobbies is to pop myself before they try to claim my death. The best part is that the animation to kill your avatar varies each time, providing some fun gameplay moments. To self-explode or self-terminate in TF2, you need to equip a Kill Bind key in the Advanced Settings menu.

What is the purpose of keeping Kill Bind in TF2?

Aside from having fun in custom matches, the main reason players keep a killlink is to reset their team much faster on larger/longer maps. For example, if you are a solo player in the middle and most of your teammates are respawning, it is better to kill yourself to respawn along with your friends to reset.
