“

Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt people. Click to listen — The Scout on himself

”

A fast running, fast talking and smack talking kid from Boston with a penchant for baseball and grievous bodily harm, the Scout flies like a butterfly and stings like a Shotgun blast to the face. The fastest of all the classes, his speed and ability to double jump will leave slower opponents spinning. This, coupled with his Scattergun , Shortstop or Force-A-Nature shotguns, makes the Scout ideal at hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. Not content with only one way to harass his foes, the Scout can also equip his trusty Sandman to Stun opponents with long-range baseballs, or equip his Bonk! Atomic Punch to make a getaway without taking damage.

The Scout is an ideal choice if you need an objective done quickly; capturing points and moving carts twice as fast as his teammates and spiriting the enemy Intelligence away before they even know he's there. His petite stature and swiftness makes him a befitting class to provide distractions.

With the addition of Mad Milk, the Scout now posesses a strong team support role. The 'Mad Milk', like the Jarate, is a thrown 'team-support' item that allows for a more effective rush by fellow team mates. It can also be used to put out fire on friendly players, and identify cloaked Spies.

Bio

Name: N/A Location of origin: Boston, Massachusetts, USA Job: Rapid Recovery Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine." Emblems:    Description: The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to problem solve 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 to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray.

Trivia

• His personality is that of a narcissist.
• The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein. He has also provided the voice for the Church Guy in Template:W.
• The BLU Scout's Mother is in a relationship with the RED Spy. A file in the BLU base contains photos documenting their...activities.
• The Scout is one of two classes with no emblem on their sleeves, the other being the Spy.
• The excited Scout mascot in the Force-A-Nature ad [1] also appears in slightly altered form as the icon for the 'You'll Feel a Little Prick' Medic Achievement.
• The Scout wears a left-handed Batter's Helmet, despite being a right-handed batter, most likely because he already wears the headset on his left ear.
• The Scout's "No otha' class gonna do dat!" line is the only time a class has actually referred to themselves as a class.
  • The Scout's line "This map ain't big enough for the two of us" is the only time a class has referred to the battle ground they are on as a map.
• The Scout's right eye is at the position 1.337 on the X-axis.
• The Submachine Gun for the Sniper was originally intended for the Scout.
  • The Nailgun, a scrapped weapon carried over from Team Fortress Classic, was also intended for the Scout (the closest weapon to it now is the Medic's Syringe Gun). This makes the Scout the only class to have their primary weapon changed twice in production.

R.I.P. Crazy Legs

The Scout looks on at the PCs

• After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman Vince Offer, several players requested that Valve add a reference to this in-game. With the release of the Scout update, lines such as "If you order now, I'll throw in an extra beatin', absolutely free" and "No other class is gonna do that" were added to the game files.
• The Scout has the same voice actor as the "Church Guy" character in Valve title Left 4 Dead. The voices used by Nathan Vetterlein for both characters are strikingly similar.
• For a very long time, there was a bug that would cause the Scout's legs to disjoint crazily during a Double-Jump. Valve finally fixed the "Crazy Bacon Legs" bug in January 2010. [2]
• The Scout is (Besides possibly the Pyro) the youngest class in the game.
• The Scout is the only class whose voice is unchanged when doing a domination response to a random class. For example, the Spy talks with a much darker voice.
• The Scout repeatedly breaks the fourth wall, most notably when he tells his domination victims to rage quit.
• According to the Jarate comic from the Sniper update, the Scout likes tacos.
• The Spy claims the Scout is a virgin in his domination lines. Considering the nature and age of the Scout, this may be true or it may be just banter as Spy is from the opposing team.
• The Scout and Pyro are the only classes without visible stubble.
• The Scout's symbol (a talaria, or winged shoe/sandal) is a reference to Hermes; the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology.
• It's a feasible theory that Scout may very well be tainted with some form of disease in the future from his indulgence in Bonk! Atomic Punch, an irradiated drink.
• The Scout is currently the class with the most secondary unlocks in the game.
• The Scout is the only class to have a taunt shared by both a primary and secondary weapon.
• The Scout, as well as the Spy and Heavy, are the only classes normally without something over their eyes.
