The Fan O'War is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is a large metal Template:W.
This weapon deals 90% less damage than the default bat, making it an inefficient means of killing enemies. However, hitting an opponent with the Fan O'War "marks them for death", denoted by a skull and crossbones icon appearing over the target's head. Upon being marked, the target hears a distinctive sound, and a skull icon appears on their HUD. During this period, any subsequent hits taken by the target will be mini-crits. Only one player at a time may be marked by this weapon. Upon hitting a new enemy, the status will transferred from the old target.
Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011 were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.
