Oh man, Classic Scout. Click to listen — The Team Fortress 2 Scout recalling his counterpart

”

The Scout is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. Like his Team Fortress 2 counterpart, the Team Fortress Classic Scout is the fastest and weakest class, both in regards to weapons and armor. His weapons are built around self defense if necessary and are not designed for attacking. He is also the only class that does not possess one custom and one normal grenade, and instead has two custom grenades.

Basic Strategy

• Always keep moving.

• Report enemy activity.

• Call for assistance when needed.

• Move in unpredictable patterns.

• Make use of your special abilities.

• Take advantage of your speed with bunnyhopping, strafe jumping and Concussion Jumping.

• The Nailgun is effective against enemy Sentry Guns.

• Do NOT try to deathmatch enemies. It should only be done as a joke or as humiliation, as the Scout's primary function here is to be an expert flag runner. The only enemy a Scout can possibly engage with greater luck of killing is another enemy Scout.
