(Tweaked some facts, added new ones. Also reintroduced the BLU Scout pants one. I love BLU Scout's pants.)
(Reworded Gold Rush one, as it is NOT a remake of Dustbowl (because that's the TF2 map), other slight rewords. The Vaccinator one is not a DYK fact, the Scout one is a funny quip but not really a DYK fact, and arguably Scout has sworn more.)
