 The Force-A-Nature |
|
| “ | Any outdoorsman will tell you the most frustrating part of hunting is when a deer simply FALLS DOWN when shot, and doesn't FLY BACKWARD into the forest. Those days are over. Anything this baby hits better PACK A LUNCH, 'cause it is going for a ride!
— Force-A-Nature publicity blurb
|
” |
The Force-A-Nature, also known as the FaN, is an unlockable primary weapon for the Scout. It is a large double-barreled hunting shotgun with sawn-off barrels and a wooden stock. Its name is derived from what the Scout calls himself in Meet the Scout.
Compared to the Scattergun, the Force-A-Nature's ammo clip size is significantly smaller, only loading two shots at a time. However, it fires twice as fast as the Scattergun, and causes opponents to suffer knockback inversely proportionate to the distance between them and the Scout on hit (no knockback occurs at long distance). If the Scout fires the weapon while airborne, the inherent recoil will propel him opposite of the aimed direction. This can be used to perform an effective third jump. Knockback is only delivered by the first shot; after shooting, there is a delay of 1.5 seconds where the affected parties cannot be knocked back by a second shot.
The Force-A-Nature shares the Scattergun's increased positive damage ramp of 175%. Overall, it deals slightly more damage than the Scattergun, spread over a greater number of pellets — 0.9x damage per pellet times 1.2x amount of pellets equals 1.08 times normal damage. However, the low clip size results in more frequent reloads. When reloading, two shells will always be consumed, as any left in the chamber are ejected.
Like other bullet-based weaponry, the Force-A-Nature's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet-spread' takes effect. When random spread is disabled, the pellets will form a three by three grid pattern.
The Force-A-Nature is automatically given to any player who obtains 10 Scout achievements.
The kill icon for the Force-A-Nature was contributed by NeoDement .

August 13, 2009 Patch (Classless Update)

July 2, 2015 Patch #1 (Gun Mettle Update)

Notes
- Double jumping and then firing a shot may cause the Scout to yell one of four responses, signifying a successful "force jump" due to the knockback from the Force-A-Nature.
Trivia
- The Force-A-Nature was manufactured in Portugal — a dubious claim, considering that its "good warranty" is actually written in Spanish, a common mistake for people unfamiliar with the Portuguese language — and marketed towards the particularly sadistic outdoorsman.
- The sound effects for the Scattergun's unused "double shot" function were recycled into the Force-A-Nature.
The tops of the Australium Force-A-Nature's Shotgun shells are also made of Australium.
