— The Scout

”

Upon taunting with The Sandman equipped, the Scout will point to the sky (a homage to Babe Ruth's famous called shot [1]) , wind up and let loose with an almighty BONK that launches opponents ridiculous distances. A successful hit will result in the cheers of an invisible crowd. Killing someone with the taunt unlocks Out of the Park achievement, provided the ragdoll flies a far-enough distance. The taunt can still be used offensively during Humiliation and Stalemate despite the Scout's hands being empty.

The Bonk has a 5 second wind-up time, making it both the longest taunt in the game and the longest kill taunt, the Spy's Fencing taunt being the only other even close in length.

Damage

Point Blank: 500
Critical Hit: N/A

Function times

Attack Interval: 5

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Notes

The taunt makes no sound until the swing, (along with a cheering crowd on a successful hit). If the enemy does not hear the Scout's approaching footsteps, they have no warning and will likely be killed. Originally the Scout used to say something while pointing, but this was quickly patched out.
The Bonk taunt can be used in conjunction with Bonk! Atomic Punch if performed correctly. By drinking and then switching to the Sandman you can taunt while invincible and effectively kill without taking any damage. The switch and taunt must be done instantaneously, or the radiation will wear off and cut off the taunt.

-* The Scout makes no noise until the swing and moment of contact (making a quiet bat swinging sound on a miss and the stun sound along with a crowd cheering on a successful hit). This means that if the enemy does not hear the Scout's approaching footsteps, they have no warning of their possibly impending death and will likely be killed. Originally the Scout used to say something while pointing, but this was quickly patched out after the Scout update.

-* The Bonk taunt can be used in conjunction with [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]] to devastating effect if performed correctly. By drinking Bonk and then switching to the Sandman with your last weapon key, you can then taunt while invincible and effectively kill someone without taking any damage. However, the switch and taunt has to be done instantaneously, or the duration of Bonk! will end and you will be forced into first person view, cutting off the taunt. This is especially good against enemies pursuing from around corners, or those too distracted to notice your invincibility and try to melee you.
