The Fan O'War is a melee weapon for the Scout. It appears as a large metal Template:W.
This weapon deals 90% less damage than the default bat. Hitting an opponent with the Fan O'War "marks them for death", denoted by a skull and crossbones icon appearing over the target's head. Upon being marked, the target hears a distinctive sound, and a skull and crossbones icon appears on their HUD. During this period, any subsequent taken by the target will be mini-crits. Only one player at a time may be marked by this weapon. Upon hitting a new target, the status will be placed onto the new target, and removed from the previous target.
Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011, were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

Update history
March 10, 2011 Patch (Shogun Pack)
- The item was added to the game.
- [Undocumented] Unique crafting recipe added.
- All Fan O'Wars crafted before the patch have been changed to Vintage quality.
- The item was made tradeable.
Bugs
- Spies who have activated the Dead Ringer will have the skull above their head even after feigning death.
- The Fan O'War clips into the Scout's hand in first person view when wielded.
- Occasionally, two skulls will appear over a target's head.
- There is a significant delay with the weapon's movement animations; they will not play when the Scout starts to move and continue after the Scout has come to a stop.
- The weapon uses the Bat's sounds, despite having unique hit sounds in game files.
Trivia
- Template:W (軍配) were used by samurai officers in Japan for means of communication with their troops. They are also used by judges in sumo wrestling competitions.
- "Fan O'War" is a reference to Template:W, a powerful class of British naval ship from the 16th to 19th centuries.
- The hovering skull and crossbones is the same particle effect used by the self damage of the Gloves of Running Urgently, however its white coloring suggests closer similarity to the particle used by the Horseless Headless Horsemann.
- The Marked for Death icon that appears on the HUD is based upon the Heavy's skull shown on the "Anatomy of a Heavy Weapons Guy" poster, and the Rasputin Heavy achievement.
- Players who are marked for death that look up will be able to see the death icon above their head.
- During development, the Fan O'War was intended for the Soldier, but during play-testing, Valve decided that the attributes that they had coded worked best for the Scout. [1]
