“

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

Bio

Name: Unknown Location of origin: Template:W Job: Rapid Recovery Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine." Special ability: Double jump Emblems:    Beta emblems:    Description: The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to solve problems 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.

Basic strategy

Main articles: Scout tips, Scout strategy

• Jump again in mid-air to change direction, and avoid enemy fire.
• You capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class.
• You're most effective when you stay moving and use your speed to your advantage.
• Your Scattergun is deadly at point blank range.
• Your Pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance. (Holding the primary fire button will allow continuous firing of the gun)
• Press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

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 wearing the Ye Olde Baker Boy 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.
