Meet the Scout

“ ”

The Scout is a hyperactive runt from Boston with a penchant for baseball, grievous bodily harm and running. His speed and ability to double jump will leave slower opponents struggling to keep up. This, coupled with his Scattergun, makes the Scout ideal for hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. The Scout can also equip his trusty Sandman to stun opponents with long-range baseballs, with a sip some of his Bonk! Atomic Punch he can make a clean getaway without taking damage, or a drink of his Crit-a-Cola to take out unaware opponents in seconds.

The Scout is an ideal choice to complete an objective quickly, as he can capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class. His petite stature and swiftness also make him useful at harassing opponents and providing distractions. With the addition of Mad Milk and the Fan O'War, the Scout now has a larger role and can provide additional support to the team.

The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

Bio

Name: Unknown
Location of origin: Template:W[1]
Job: Rapid Recovery[2]
Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine."[2]
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 how to run. He would run everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray.[1]

Basic strategy

Main articles: Scout tips, Scout strategy
Scoutava.jpg
  • 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're 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.
