Those days are over. Anything this baby hits better '''PACK A LUNCH''', 'cause it is going for a ride!}}
| |
| − | The '''Force-A-Nature''', also known as the '''FaN''', is an unlockable [[Weapons#scoutprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Scout]]. It is a large double-barreled hunting {{botignore|shotgun}} with extremely sawn-off barrels and wooden stock. Its name is a reference to what the Scout calls himself in [[Meet the Scout]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | Compared to the [[Scattergun]], the Force-A-Nature's [[ammo]] clip size is significantly smaller, only loading two shots at a time. However, it fires more rapidly and will cause opponents to suffer [[knock back]] inversely proportionate to the distance between him and the Scout. If the Scout fires the weapon while airborne, the inherent recoil will propel him opposite to the aimed direction. This is useful for making an effective [[Jump#Force Jump|third jump]] although the [[Atomizer]] can do just as well, if not better by conserving ammunition. Knockback is only delivered by the first shot; a second shot in a single jump delivers no additional knockback.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While at first the Force-A-Nature appears to deal less damage than the Scattergun, it actually deals increased damage, spread over a greater number of pellets — 0.9x damage per pellet times 1.2x amount of pellets equals 1.08 times normal damage. The Force-A-Nature also shares the Scattergun's increased positive damage ramp of 175%.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Like other bullet-based weaponry, the Force-A-Nature's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet-spread' takes effect. When random spread is disabled, the pellets will form a three by three grid pattern.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When reloading, even if there is one shell left in the chamber, two shells will be consumed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Force-A-Nature is automatically given to any player who obtains 10 [[Scout achievements]].

| |
| − | ==Notes==
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * The Force-A-Nature was manufactured in Portugal — a dubious claim, considering that its "good warranty" is actually written in Spanish, a common mistake for people unfamiliar with Portuguese language — and marketed towards the [[Scout|particularly sadistic Outdoorsman]].
| |
| − | * The sound effects for the [[Scattergun]]'s unused "double shot" function were recycled into the Force-A-Nature.
