The Fan O'War is a promotional melee weapon for the Scout. It is a large metal Template:W.
This weapon deals 90% less damage than the default Bat, making it an inefficient means of killing enemies. However, 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 icon appears on their HUD. During this period of 15 seconds, any subsequent hits taken by the target will be mini-crits. Only one player at a time may be marked by this weapon. Upon hitting a new enemy, the status will be transferred from the old target. Trying to kill an enemy with this weapon will take way too long, so it's prefered to switch to your Primary or use a Hit-and-run technique and let your teamates finish the job.
Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011 were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.
