The Goldrush Update, also referred to as the Medic Update, is a patch for the Medic, the first class to have a major content pack released, as well as the release of the Payload gamemode and the release of the Team Fortress 2 Character Info and Loadout system, allowing players to equip different Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons. Meet the Scout was released alongside the update, although listed at the bottom of the page rather than as a major part of the update. The update was released on April 29th, 2008.

Transcript

[Faster Than a Speeding Bullet plays as the warehouse doors in Well rise, revealing a crouching RED Scout with other members of Red Team.] [The Scout watches various BLU Team members stationed around center point: an Engineer industriously making defensive preparations, a smoking Spy, and a Soldier juggling rockets.] [Scout pumps his Scattergun and RED runs out to attack center point.] [The Scout charges into a fierce battle on Well, quickly outpacing all his teammates. He runs towards the center of the map dodging everything that BLU throws at him, then outruns and crosses a passing train as it crushes a BLU Soldier and Pyro.] ["Meet the Scout" text appears] [Scout walks in front of the Meet the Scout text, from off frame.] Scout: "Um... I don't even know where to start with you. I mean, do you even know who you're talkin' to? [Cut to a scene of a BLU Heavy, sitting near the third Control Point in Granary about to take a bite of a Sandvich, when he is poked in the head by the Scout's Bat.] Scout: "Yo, what's up?" [Cuts back to Scout in front of text.] Scout: D-Do you have any idea, any idea who I am?" [Back to Heavy and Scout, who are in a fistfight while yelling. Cuts back to Scout.] Scout: "Basically - kind of a big deal!" [Back to fight. Scout is strangling Heavy with his Bat.] Scout: [Flexes a muscle] "Oh man, that's beautiful. Heh!" [Cut back to fight, Heavy now has the Scout in a headlock. Cuts back to Scout.] Scout: " Ya' listenin'? OK. Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brotha'-[pokes the camera] I hurt people." [Cut back to fight, The Scout whacks the Heavy in the gut with his Bat.] Scout: "BOINK!" Scout: [Back to Text] "I'm a Force-A-Nature!" [Scout hits the Heavy in the chin.] Scout: "BONK!" [Cuts back to Scout] Scout: "If you were from where I was from, you'd be f**kin' dead!" [Cuts back to fight; Heavy is collapsed on the ground trying to reach for his Sandvich; the Scout runs up the side of a shipping container, jumps off and slams his Bat into the Heavy's head.] [Cuts back to Scout] Scout: "WOOO!" [Team Fortress 2 ending flourish music plays] [Scout sits on the twitching body of the Heavy eating the Heavy's Sandvich; the point is now RED's.]
