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.  
  
−
A fast-running and fast-talking kid from Boston with a penchant for baseball and grievous bodily harm, the '''Scout''' flies like a butterfly and stings like a Shotgun blast to the face. The fastest of all the classes, his speed and ability to [[Double Jump]] will leave slower opponents spinning. This, coupled with his [[Scattergun]] or [[Force-A-Nature]] shotguns, makes the Scout ideal at hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. Not content with only one way to harass his foes, the Scout can also equip his trusty [[Sandman]] to [[Stun]] opponents with long-range Baseballs.  
+
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.  
  
−
The Scout is an ideal choice if you need an objective done quickly; capturing points and moving carts twice as fast as his teammates and spiriting the enemy Intelligence away before they even know he's there.  
+
The Scout is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [[Nathan Vetterlein]].

−
*The Scout is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1867910/ Nathan Vetterlein].
+
'''{{Patch name|1|14|2008}}'''
−
*The [[BLU]] [[Non player characters#BLU Scout.27s Mother|Scout's Mother]] is in a relationship with the [[RED]] [[Spy]]. A file in the BLU base contains photos documenting their...activities.
+
* Fixed players turning into Scout model after lagouts (and a variety of related issues, such as disappearing doors).
−
*The Scout is one of two classes with no emblem on their sleeves, the other being the [[Spy]].
+
 
−
*The excited Scout mascot in the [[Force-A-Nature]] ad [http://evolvian.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/05_top.jpg] also appears in slightly altered form as the icon for the 'You'll Feel a Little Prick' [[Medic achievements|Medic Achievement]].
+
'''{{Patch name|2|24|2009}}''' ({{update link|Scout Update}})
−
*The Scout wears a left-handed [[Batter's Helmet]], despite being a right-handed batter, most likely because he already wears the headset on his left ear.
+
* Added 35 [[Scout achievements]].
−
*The Scout's "No otha' class gonna do dat!" line is the only time a class has actually referred to themselves as a class.
+
* Scouts now earn a bonus point for killing Medics who are actively healing a target.
−
**The Scout's line "This map ain't big enough for the two of us" is the only time a class has referred to the battle ground they are on as a map.
+
* {{Undocumented}} Added Scout voice lines.
−
*The Scout's right eye is at the position 1.337 on the X-axis.
+
* {{Undocumented}} Added Grand Slam taunt.
−
*The [[Submachine Gun]] for the Sniper was originally intended for the Scout.
+
 
−
**The [[Nailgun]], a scrapped weapon carried over from Team Fortress Classic, was also intended for the Scout (the closest weapon to it now is the [[Medic]]'s [[Syringe Gun]]). This makes the Scout the only class to have their primary weapon changed twice in production.
+
'''{{Patch name|3|6|2009}}'''
−
[[Image:Crazylegs.jpg|thumb|300px|right|R.I.P. Crazy Legs]]
+
* You can now duck twice in the air. Scout double jumps reset the in-air jump counts.
−
[[Image:Tomorrow.png|thumb|300px|right|The Scout looks on at the PCs]]
+
 
−
*After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman Vince Offer, several players 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 an extra beatin', absolutely free" and "No other class is gonna do that" were added to the game files.
+
'''{{Patch name|3|13|2009}}'''
−
*The Scout has the same voice actor as the "Church Guy" character in Valve title Left 4 Dead. The voices used by Nathan Vetterlein for both characters are strikingly similar.
+
* Fixed Scout taunt kill achievement firing for people who didn't actually qualify.
−
*For a very long time, there was a bug that would cause the Scout's legs to disjoint crazily during a Double-Jump. Valve finally fixed the "Crazy Legs" bug in January 2010. [http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3368]
+
 
−
*The Scout is (Besides possibly the [[Pyro]]) the youngest class in the game.
+
'''{{Patch name|4|20|2009}}'''

−
*The Scout repeatedly breaks the fourth wall, most notably when he tells his domination victims to rage quit.
+
 
−
*According to the Jarate comic from the Sniper update, the Scout likes tacos.
+
'''{{Patch name|8|13|2009}}''' ({{update link|Classless Update}})
−
*The [[Spy]] claims the Scout is a virgin in his domination lines. Considering the nature and age of the Scout, this may be true.
+
* {{Undocumented}} Added hat [[bodygroup]]s to the Scout, [[Soldier]], [[Engineer]] and [[Sniper]] models.
−
*The Scout and Pyro are the only classes without visible stubble.  
+
* {{Undocumented}} Added new swinging animations to the Sandman when a Scout swings the bat with the ball still in his hand.
−
*The Scout's symbol- a shoe with a wing on it- is a reference to [[wikipedia:Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]]; the winged footed messenger in Roman mythology.
+
 
 +
'''{{Patch name|12|17|2009}}''' ({{update link|WAR! Update}})
 +

 +
 
 +
'''{{Patch name|10|13|2011}}''' ({{update link|Manniversary Update & Sale}})
 +
* Removed the response when killing an enemy Scout or [[Pyro]] and moved the lines to the dominating Pyro/Scout response.
 +
* Added a rare response to double jumping after getting a recent kill.
 +

 +
}}
 +
 
 +
== Notes ==
 +
* 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.

Bio

Name: Jeremy Willis[1]
Location of origin: Boston, Massachusetts, USA[2]
Job: Rapid Recovery[3]
Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine."[3]
Special ability: Double jump
Emblems: Scout emblem RED.png  Scout emblem BLU.png
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.[2]

  • Jump again in mid-air to change direction, and avoid enemy fire.
  • 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.

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.
