The '''Scattergun''' is the default [[Weapons#scoutprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Scout]]. It is a short, double-barreled lever-action {{botignore|shotgun}} with a wooden handle and foregrip.
 
  
−
The Scattergun fires ten pellets per shot with increased [[Damage#Distance and randomness modifier|ramp-up]], making it deadly at close range. However, a wide cone of fire causes it to become mediocre at medium range and near useless at a distance. This forces players to utilize the Scout's speed to quickly close in on a target and deal maximum damage.

The base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot, and [[ammo|ammunition]] per magazine is equal to that of the [[Shotgun]]. The main difference is the increased positive damage-ramp (175% at point-blank compared to 150%).

The Scattergun's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the [[Heads-up display|crosshair]] before "bullet spread" takes effect.

This article is about the Scout's primary weapon. For other scatterguns, see Scattergun (disambiguation).

— The Scout
 ”

The Scattergun is the default primary weapon for the Scout. It is a short, double-barreled, lever-action shotgun with a wooden handle and foregrip.

The Scattergun is extremely similar to the Shotgun available to other classes, possessing the same base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot, and ammo capacity. However, the Scattergun has increased damage ramp-up at distances of under 512 Hammer units, allowing it to deal more damage than the Shotgun at close range.

The Scattergun's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair, while the other bullets are spread out. Random bullet spread, enabled in Casual Mode, causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets instead disperse in a fixed three-by-three grid pattern, with two pellets overlapping in the center of the grid.
