The Fan O'War is a community-created promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is a large metal gunbai war fan.
Hitting an opponent with the Fan O'War "marks them for death", denoted by a white skull and crossbones icon appearing over the target's head. Upon being marked, the target hears a distinctive sound, and a skull icon appears on their HUD. (Note that disguised Spies cannot be marked for death by this weapon.) During this period of 15 seconds, any subsequent hits taken by the target will be mini-crits. Only one player at a time may be marked by this weapon. If another player is hit with this weapon whilst another is marked, only the most recent one will be marked for death.
This weapon deals 75% less damage than the default Bat, and in a situation where it would normally deliver mini-crits, it will perform a critical hit. However, this deals less damage than a Bat as well, making it an inefficient means of killing enemies.
The Fan O'War was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.
