The Scout

The Essential Accessories are a promotional miscellaneous item for the Scout, given to players who purchased Monday Night Combat on Steam before February 1, 2011. It consists of green and yellow striped white socks, shoes, and wristbands, identical to ones worn by Bullseye, the mascot of Monday Night Combat.

Update history

February 3, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed the The Essential Accessories hiding the Scout's hat/headphones.
  • The items now have their own body group.

Bugs

  • In some instances the items will disappear, leaving the Scout notably legless.

Trivia

  • Chandana Ekanayake, the art director for MNC developer Uber Entertainment, said early plans called for the Scout to get the oversized grinning head of Bullseye, the Monday Night Combat mascot, as a hat. However, in testing, the item turned out to be too big and unwieldy to fit in the game. It was discarded in favor of the rest of Bullseye's costume, the Superfan and the Athletic Supporter. [1]
  • In contrast to items such as the Gunslinger and Chargin' Targe, the wristbands will not appear on the Scout's arms in first-person view when worn, perhaps due to their purely cosmetic nature.
