— The Scout on the facts of life
|
” |
The Scout is a scrapper from Template:W, Template:W with a baseball bat and a mean attitude. He's the fastest mercenary on the battlefield, and his double jump leaves slower opponents struggling to keep up. Carrying a Scattergun, the Scout is ideal for aggressive fighting and flanking, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety.
The Scout is an excellent choice for completing objectives quickly. He captures control points and pushes carts at the rate of 2 players.
The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

Trivia
- After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman Template:W, many 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 a second beatin', absolutely free." and "No otha' class' gonna do dat!" were added to the game files.
- The Submachine Gun for the Sniper was originally intended as the primary weapon for the Scout.
- The Nailgun, a scrapped weapon carried over from Team Fortress Classic, was also intended for the Scout.
- In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Scout makes a cameo as the Jack of Spades & Clubs in the "Team Fortress 2" deck.
- The Scout makes an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Granary. The Scout's headset and cap are also available as a selectable hat for the player's worms.
- The original BLU Scout resembles Billy the Kid.
- The Assassin class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Scout's headset and the Spy's disguise mask named "Bonk! Slash!".
- Since June 8th, 2011 when a Scout is gibbed occasionally a dove will fly out of his torso. This is a reference to the final scene in Meet the Medic.
