Meet the Scout

Born and raised in the south side of Boston, the Scout (real name Jeremy) is a fast running capper with a baseball bat and a snarky 'in-your-lace' attitude. He is highly narcissistic, and seems to think he can handle anything. He often acts a lot tougher than he can prove to be, though he's certainly quite weak.

He is the fastest mercenary on the battlefield, and his Double Jump leaves slower opponents struggling to keep up, as well as it helps him navigate the terrain and dodge oncoming projectiles. Carrying a Scattergun and a Pistol, the Scout is ideal for aggressive fighting and language. The Scout is a good class for quick kills and flanking with most scatter-guns being able to two shot every non overhealed class (with the exception of heavy and maybe soldier)

The Scout is an excellent choice for completing objectives quickly Since he captures control points and pushes carts at the rate of 2 players. His speed makes him a natural for capturing the Intelligence; his double jump allowing him to carry it along paths the enemies won't expect him to be on. The Best Base mobility class also an Amazing Offensive class.

The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.aka theepicchilli via youtube

Bio

• Motto: "I'm Running the Circles Around you!"
• Description: The youngest of 8 boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to solve problems with his fists. With seven older brothers antagonizing him, he had to avoid them and get away as fast as possible, so the Scout trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray of the fights that often happened. He ended up becoming skilled with weaponry and then he was hired at Mann Co. As a mercenary.

Basic Strategy

Main article: Tips

Main article: Basic Scout strategy

• Jump again in mid-air to change direction, and avoid enemy fire.
• You capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class, so go ahead of your team to start an objective capture
• You're most effective when you stay moving and use your speed to your advantage.
• Your Scattergun is deadly at point blank range, so remember to get within range of your enemies.
• Your Pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance, especially buildings.
• Press E (will be different on to match other players preferences) to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will most likely heal you last as you can run to a medpack quickly.

Weapon Kill Taunt:

Home Run Taunt: The Scout's taunt for the Sandman baseball bat and the Atomizer. Any enemy who gets hit by the swing will be instantly killed unless ubercharged or under a massive damage reduction. It will take 5 seconds for the Scout to execute the swing though. It is the longest taunt kill in the game. A good strategy is to use that taunt after drinking Bonk! Atomic Punch as some players will try to hit you with their melee weapon, granting you an easy taunt kill. The taunt kill range is also very small, and can actually be avoided if the target jumps, wasting your time, drink if you used it, and endangering your life usually. Still fun though!
