When the HYPE meter is full, pressing Alt-Fire while the weapon is active activates HYPE mode for 10 seconds, giving the Scout the ability to jump up to five times in mid-air (for a total of six jumps). | |

However, for every point of damage dealt with any weapon, the Scout builds up a "Boost" meter (though the minimum Boost gained from any damage dealt is 5%). As the Boost meter charges, the Scout's speed will increase linearly from 360 units/second to 520 units/second (173% standard movement speed). The Boost meter fills completely when the Scout deals 100 points of damage using any weapon. If the Scout takes damage or jumps mid air while using the Baby Face's Blaster, the Boost meter is reduced by 4% for each damage point (25 damage to bring a full meter down to 0) and 75% for each air jump, causing the Scout to lose momentum. Ground jumps will not lower the Boost meter. |

Revision as of 12:56, 10 June 2018
The community competitive scene changes frequently. Some or all info may be outdated.
The Scout uses mostly hitscan weaponry which deal immense damage at close range. He has increased speed and doubled capture rates, making him ideal to quickly cap a further point, or backcap to slow down a push.
Primary weapons
The Scout's primary weapons are all hitscan, and have ramp-up at close range.
Scattergun
The stock Scattergun has a full clip of six shots, dealing strong damage at close range. Damage falls off quickly, but is still powerful enough to finish off a weak enemy at medium range. Each shot delivers 10 pellets, making it extremely strong at close range. The base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot and ammunition per magazine are equal to the Shotgun's. The main differences are the increased positive damage ramp-up; 175% compared to 150%, and different reload times.

Force-A-Nature
The Force-A-Nature has a faster firing rate than the stock Scattergun, and deals increased damage at close range. It deals scaled knockback on any hit dealing more than 40 damage, but has a clip of only two shots. The knockback can be used to force jump, allowing the Scout to jump higher or reach places other classes can not. This weapon reloads its entire clip at once, if one shell is loaded when the Force-A-Nature is reloaded, it will be discarded in place of two new ones. Each shot with the Force-A-Nature delivers 20% more pellets, but deals 10% less damage.

Shortstop
The Shortstop is designed for medium range combat. It fires fewer bullets, with a reduced clip, but a narrower spread. It deals less damage at point-blank range than the stock Scattergun, but it can deal consistent medium-range damage. It has a slow reload time, forcing players to be accurate with shots and reload at every opportunity. The Shortstop grants the wielder the ability to push an enemy backwards (similarly to a airblast) in melee distance while active, but adds a 20% increase in knockback from all damaging weapons and airblast. It fires approximately 40% faster than the Scattergun, whereas each shot fires 60% fewer pellets than the Scattergun (resulting in only four pellets), but each pellet deals twice the damage, which results in an overall 20% lower base damage per shot.

Compared to the Force-A-Nature, it has a 25% faster reload speed, and compared to the default Scattergun, it has a 50% faster firing speed. Equipping the Soda Popper places a "HYPE" meter on the user's HUD, which fills with damage dealt by any of the Scout's weapons. It takes about 350 damage to fill up the HYPE meter, which is approximately 4 point blank shots from the Soda Popper. When the HYPE meter is full, pressing Alt-Fire while the weapon is active activates HYPE mode for 10 seconds, giving the Scout the ability to jump up to five times in mid-air (for a total of six jumps).

Baby Face's Blaster
The Baby Face's Blaster only has a clip of four, instead of six compared with the Scattergun, and will slow the Scout down from 400 units/second (133% standard movement speed), to 360 units/second (120% standard movement speed). However, for every point of damage dealt with any weapon, the Scout builds up a "Boost" meter (though the minimum Boost gained from any damage dealt is 5%). As the Boost meter charges, the Scout's speed will increase linearly from 360 units/second to 520 units/second (173% standard movement speed).

Ground jumps will not lower the Boost meter.

Primary Weapon Usage
The stock Scattergun is most commonly used, due to its large clip and large damage ramp-up allowing the Scout to provide the best support to the rest of his team and offer sustained attack. The Force-A-Nature's knockback can be very effective on maps where critical locations are located on a spire-like region, or near environmental hazards. The Shortstop deals stronger medium range damage but at the cost of closer range damage, while the Soda Popper allows the Scout to attack with an occasional damage boost for a smaller clip size. However, the stock Scattergun deals the most consistent damage, making it a favorite.
Secondary Weapons
The Scout can either use another hitscan weapon to increase his damage output, or can use a lunchbox item to provide situational help.
Pistol
The Pistol is the stock secondary weapon carried by Scouts. It deals moderate damage at medium and long range, with a fast fire rate but a small clip. This makes it great to finish off enemies who are very low on health.
The Lugermorph has the same stats as the Pistol.

Bonk! Atomic Punch
Bonk! Atomic Punch is one of the lunchbox items for Scout. When drunk, it grants the Scout invulnerability for eight seconds. Knockback, telefrags, and pits will still kill the Scout during this time. This provides a good method of running past deployed sticky traps, distracting Sentry Guns, or pushing through a team to make a back-cap. Although it provides invulnerability, it prevents the Scout from using any of his weapons.

Mad Milk
Mad Milk is one of the lunchbox items for Scout. When thrown, it coats any enemy players, including cloaked and disguised Spies, giving them a visual effect akin to Jarate, but 60% of any damage dealt is healed. It can extinguish players who are on fire, but also will wash off of a target if they submerge in water, or touch a resupply cabinet.

Secondary Weapon Usage
Scouts will usually opt for the Pistol to provide extra damage output rather than the lunchbox items on offer. While the Winger's extra damage may finish off opponents faster, a full clip can deal more damage over time. The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol and Crit-a-Cola, though very useful, are almost invariably banned. Lunchbox items are rarely used, in part because they are banned in many leagues, but do have uses. Bonk! Atomic Punch is useful in case of a tricky Sentry Gun, while Mad Milk can help the Scout and his allies gain back health without a Medic.
Melee Weapon
Generally, a Scout will use his Scattergun when at close quarters, as it deals great damage. However, if a target is known to be low, and the Scout wants to conserve ammo, he may opt for a melee kill. Scouts deal reduced melee damage, but hit more frequently.
Bat
The Bat is the Scout's standard melee weapon. Although it deals half the damage per hit than other standard melee weapons, the Bat has a much smaller attack interval to allow for almost two swings in the time it takes a standard melee attack to swing once.

Sandman
The Sandman deals identical damage as the bat. However, it offers the capability to stun. On alt-fire, the Scout launches a ball which will stun for different duration depending on range. This can help a Scout take down a pocket by rendering half of it useless, or simply pick of another Scout if well timed. The Sandman costs the Scout 15 health for its functionality. A replacement ball can be picked up after a player is it, or it will recharge after 15 seconds.

Holy Mackerel
The Holy Mackerel is functionally identical to the stock Bat, except it broadcasts each hit and kill. It cannot be used to detect disguised Spies, but it will indicate the use of the Dead Ringer.
The Unarmed Combat has the same stats as the Fish, except it broadcasts Arm Hit and Arm Kill for hits and kills.

Candy Cane
The Candy Cane deals the same damage as the stock Bat. Upon kill or kill assist by the player with any weapon while this is equipped, a small health pack is dropped from the dead player. The Candy Cane causes the wielder to suffer an additional 25% damage from explosions.

Boston Basher
The Boston Basher deals the same damage as the stock Bat but will deal bleeding damage to an opponent for five seconds upon a successful hit. If the Scout "misses", that is to say strikes the air, then the Scout will take 18 points of immediate damage, followed by 40 points of bleeding over five seconds.
The Three-Rune Blade has the same stats as the Boston Basher.

Fan O'War
The Fan'O'War attacks identically to the stock Bat, except it deals 75% less damage. However, it deals critical damage where it would normally deal mini-crit damage. On hit, it marks the target for death, causing them to take Mini-Crits from all damage sources. The effect lasts 15 seconds, but can only effect one enemy at a time.

Wrap Assassin
The Wrap Assassin functions similarly to the Sandman, but has a ball which deals bleeding damage rather than stun damage. It has identical recharge times, but damage does not scale with distance. It deals 70% less damage than the stock Bat on melee.

Melee Weapon Usage
The stock Bat deals quick but low damage, and can be used effectively to conserve ammunition. However, as the Scout has very effective hitscan short-range weaponry, melee weapons are not frequently used. The Holy Mackerel is functionally identical, but has a method of detecting Dead Ringer Spies. The Sandman makes the Scout have even less health, but can allow for key stuns which will devastate an enemy team. The Wrap Assassin allows for bleeding damage in place of the stunning capability of the Sandman, but it deals little to no melee damage, although with the upside of no health reduction. The Candy Cane can help Scouts survive without a Medic longer, but makes the Scout highly vulnerable to Soldiers and Demomen. The Sun-on-a-Stick is only useful in the presence of Pyros and even then only those who employ hit-and-run tactics to ignite large quantities of enemies, so it is almost never seen in competitive play. The Fan'O'War can easily cause a target to die, but renders the Scout's melee weapon useless. The Atomizer has a highly situational third jump, and deals reduced and slower damage, but can help the Scout maneuver better. In high-level play, at least one Scout may use a Boston Basher or Three-Rune Blade to help Medics build Übercharge. Otherwise, standard lineups tend to use the Bat, with the Fan'O'War or Sandman serving as alternatives.
