The Scattergun is the primary weapon for the Scout class. It is a short, double-barreled lever-action Shotgun.
Delivering ten pellets per shot, this weapon has a wide cone of fire and high damage falloff. While deadly at close range, requiring only two shots to take down most classes, the Scattergun becomes mediocre at medium range and near useless at a distance. This forces players to move close to enemies and deal sufficient damage whilst utilising the class's distinct speed to avoid retaliation.
Other than a slightly increased damage and wider spread, the Scattergun is equal to the standard Shotgun in all regards. If fired from a position close to a target, the attack is capable of causing knockback. The Scattergun's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet-spread' takes effect.

Trivia
- The Scattergun has Developer weapon variants.
- The Scattergun is never actually reloaded: when the 6 round clip is empty, the handle lever is used to eject the rounds without loading fresh ones in.
- Sound effects exist in the game files labeled "double shot". It is possible that the weapon may have had, or was going to have, a double-barreled firing mode, possibly similar to the super Shotgun from Team Fortress Classic. These sound effects were recycled for the Force-A-Nature.
- A server console command can be used to disable random bullet spread for the Scattergun, along with other pellet weapons like the Shotgun. When activated, any shots with these weapons will fire their 9 pellets in a perfect 3x3 square.
