The Back Scatter is a community-created primary weapon for the Scout. It is a short, slightly-modified lever-action shotgun with a wooden handle, a single barrel, and a dual small shell drum.
Nearby enemies within a range of around 500 Hammer units (roughly 31 feet) are dealt mini-crit damage when shot from behind with the Back Scatter. Its trade-offs are 34% fewer rounds per clip (leaving 4 shots before needing to reload), 20% more bullet spread, and an inability to deal random critical hits.
The Back Scatter was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The 3lb Trigger".

Update history
June 18, 2014 Patch (Love & War Update)
- The Back Scatter was added to the game.
- Added a crafting recipe for the Back Scatter.
- Updated the attribute description for the Back Scatter to better explain what it does. (was previously "Minicrits targets when fired at their back and at close range")
Trivia
- A backscatter is a diffuse reflection towards the direction it came.
- The backscatter was most likely invented by the Engineer, as the word backscatter has 10 words, 10 multiplied by the number of words the word "Engineer" has (8) is 80, and when looked sideways looks like a shocked man wearing a goggle, therefore proving the fact that the engineer invented the weapon.
