| − | + | Born and raised in [[w:Boston|Boston]], [[w:Massachusetts|Massachusetts]], [[w:USA|USA]], the '''Scout''' is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and snarky "in-your-face" attitude. He is the fastest and most mobile [[Classes|mercenary]] on the battlefield unassisted. Scout's [[Jumping#Double Jump|Double Jump]] helps him outmaneuver slower opponents like the [[Heavy]] and navigate the terrain while dodging oncoming bullets and projectiles. Carrying a [[Scattergun]], [[Pistol]], and [[Bat]], he is an ideal class for aggressive fighting and flanking. Scout excels at "hit-and-run" tactics that sap away enemy health as his high mobility allows him to get in, do damage, and escape before being noticed. However, Scout possesses the lowest default health pool (alongside the [[Engineer]], [[Sniper]], and [[Spy]]), leaving him vulnerable on the front line. However, this is a fair trade-off given his ability to run in and out of contested hot spots quickly, enabling him to turn the tide of battle before the enemy team can even take notice. | |
| − | + | Scout is a generally excellent choice for focusing on the objective. He is the only class that can capture [[control point (objective)|control points]] and push [[Payload|carts]] at twice the normal rate. The [[Demoman]] and [[Soldier]] can only replicate this ability when equipping the [[Pain Train]]. His speed also makes him ideal for capturing [[intelligence]] briefcases. | |

| + | | description = The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to solve problems with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, 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.<ref name="tf2 website" /> | ||

| + | * On the [[PS3]] version, Scout's pants are dark blue on the [[BLU]] team. | ||

| + | == Trivia == | ||
| + | * After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman [[w:Vince Offer|Vince Offer]], many requested that Valve add a reference to this in-game. With the release of the [[Scout Update]], lines such as [[Media:Scout misc02.wav|"If you order now, I'll throw in a second beatin', absolutely free!"]] and [[Media:Scout award07.wav|"No otha' class' gonna do dat!"]] were added to the game. | ||
| + | * The [[SMG|Submachine Gun]] for the Sniper was originally intended as the primary weapon for the Scout. As the 2006 trailer reveals, the switch was made fairly late in development. | ||
| + | ** The [[Nailgun]], a scrapped weapon carried over from ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]'', was also intended for the Scout. It was also removed late in development, as its bucket icon is still in the game files. | ||
| + | * In ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'', an image of the Scout wearing the [[Ye Olde Baker Boy]] hat makes a cameo as the Jack of Spades & Clubs in the "Team Fortress 2" deck. | ||
| + | * The Scout makes an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of [[Granary (Control Point)|Granary]]. The Scout's headset and cap are also available as a selectable hat for the player's worms. | ||
| + | * The Scout, alongside every other class, makes an appearance in the game ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]'' in the form of a wearable head mask. | ||
| + | * The [[Non-player characters#BLU_team_.28original.29|first BLU team]] Scout resembled [[w:Billy the Kid|Billy the Kid]]. | ||
| + | * The Assassin class of ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' has a promo item with the Scout's headset and the [[Spy]]'s disguise mask named "Bonk! Slash!". | ||
| + | * Since the June 17, 2011 Patch, when a Scout is [[Gibs|gibbed]] there is a 1 in 20 (5%) chance of a dove flying out of his torso. This is a reference to the final scene in [[Meet the Medic]], where Archimedes is revealed to be stuck in Scout's chest. | ||
| + | * Nathan Vetterlein also voices the "Crazy Church Guy" from ''Left 4 Dead''. This is referenced by one of the [[Media:Scout stunballhit14.wav|Scout's lines]], which is recreated based on one of the Crazy Church Guy's lines. | ||
| + | * The Scout is a playable character in the game ''SpeedRunners''. | ||
| + | * The clothing of the Scout is a wearable cosmetic in the game [http://streamline.gamepedia.com/Streamline ''Streamline'']. | ||
| + | * The Scout seems to idolize [[w:Tom Jones (singer)|Tom Jones]], to the extent of buying hoards of memorabilia even before his passing, as seen in the comics. | ||
| + | ** He also has a tattoo of Tom Jones with the title "Sex Bom". | ||
| + | * Issue #6 of the ''Team Fortress 2'' comic, [[The Naked and the Dead]], reveals some information about the Scout's identity. | ||
| + | ** He is at least 26 years old during the events of the comics. | ||
| + | ** His first name is Jeremy, as revealed by the Spy. | ||
| + | ** He has only basic elementary reading knowledge, as he had difficulty reading the words "SUBMACHINE GUNS" marked on a crate. This is also suggested in ''[[:File:Unhappyreturns24.jpg|Unhappy Returns]]'', where Scout is depicted reading the "Young Readers Edition" of a collection of television scripts. | ||
| + | ** If his personification of [[Non-player characters#God|"God"]] is to be believed, the Scout's death will occur on December 4th, 1987. | ||
| + | * The Scout's pose in the official group picture, which is shown at the end of each [[Meet the Team]] video, is very similar to his [[Grand Slam]] taunt. | ||
| + | * The Scout is a playable character in the game [[w:Funko Fusion|''Funko Fusion'']]. | ||

— The Scout on the facts of life
|
” |
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the Scout is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and snarky "in-your-face" attitude. He is the fastest and most mobile mercenary on the battlefield unassisted. Scout's Double Jump helps him outmaneuver slower opponents like the Heavy and navigate the terrain while dodging oncoming bullets and projectiles. Carrying a Scattergun, Pistol, and Bat, he is an ideal class for aggressive fighting and flanking. Scout excels at "hit-and-run" tactics that sap away enemy health as his high mobility allows him to get in, do damage, and escape before being noticed. However, Scout possesses the lowest default health pool (alongside the Engineer, Sniper, and Spy), leaving him vulnerable on the front line. However, this is a fair trade-off given his ability to run in and out of contested hot spots quickly, enabling him to turn the tide of battle before the enemy team can even take notice.
Scout is a generally excellent choice for focusing on the objective. He is the only class that can capture control points and push carts at twice the normal rate. The Demoman and Soldier can only replicate this ability when equipping the Pain Train. His speed also makes him ideal for capturing intelligence briefcases.
The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

- You capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class.
- You are most effective when you stay moving and use your speed to your advantage.
- Your Scattergun is deadly at point-blank range.
- Your Pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance.
- Press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

Notes
Trivia
- After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman Vince Offer, many requested that Valve add a reference to this in-game. With the release of the Scout Update, lines such as "If you order now, I'll throw in a second beatin', absolutely free!" and "No otha' class' gonna do dat!" were added to the game.
- The Submachine Gun for the Sniper was originally intended as the primary weapon for the Scout. As the 2006 trailer reveals, the switch was made fairly late in development.
- The Nailgun, a scrapped weapon carried over from Team Fortress Classic, was also intended for the Scout. It was also removed late in development, as its bucket icon is still in the game files.
- In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Scout wearing the Ye Olde Baker Boy hat makes a cameo as the Jack of Spades & Clubs in the "Team Fortress 2" deck.
- The Scout makes an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Granary. The Scout's headset and cap are also available as a selectable hat for the player's worms.
- The Scout, alongside every other class, makes an appearance in the game Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask.
- The first BLU team Scout resembled Billy the Kid.
- The Assassin class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Scout's headset and the Spy's disguise mask named "Bonk! Slash!".
- Since the June 17, 2011 Patch, when a Scout is gibbed there is a 1 in 20 (5%) chance of a dove flying out of his torso. This is a reference to the final scene in Meet the Medic, where Archimedes is revealed to be stuck in Scout's chest.
- Nathan Vetterlein also voices the "Crazy Church Guy" from Left 4 Dead. This is referenced by one of the Scout's lines, which is recreated based on one of the Crazy Church Guy's lines.
- The Scout is a playable character in the game SpeedRunners.
- The clothing of the Scout is a wearable cosmetic in the game Streamline.
- The Scout seems to idolize Tom Jones, to the extent of buying hoards of memorabilia even before his passing, as seen in the comics.
- He also has a tattoo of Tom Jones with the title "Sex Bom".
- Issue #6 of the Team Fortress 2 comic, The Naked and the Dead, reveals some information about the Scout's identity.
- He is at least 26 years old during the events of the comics.
- His first name is Jeremy, as revealed by the Spy.
- He has only basic elementary reading knowledge, as he had difficulty reading the words "SUBMACHINE GUNS" marked on a crate. This is also suggested in Unhappy Returns, where Scout is depicted reading the "Young Readers Edition" of a collection of television scripts.
- If his personification of "God" is to be believed, the Scout's death will occur on December 4th, 1987.
- The Scout's pose in the official group picture, which is shown at the end of each Meet the Team video, is very similar to his Grand Slam taunt.
- The Scout is a playable character in the game Funko Fusion.
