“

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

”

A fast talking kid from Boston with a penchant for baseball, the Scout is the fastest of all classes. His speed and ability to double jump will leave slower opponents struggling to keep up. This, coupled with his Scattergun, makes the Scout ideal at hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. The Scout can also equip his trusty Sandman to stun opponents with long-range baseballs, equip his Bonk! Atomic Punch to make a getaway without taking damage, or drink his Crit-a-Cola to take out unaware opponents in seconds. He can also use his Mad Milk to douse teammates on fire or provide them with healing.

The Scout is an ideal choice if you need an objective completed quickly, as he can capture Control Points and push carts twice as fast as all other classes. His petite stature and swiftness also make him a befitting class to provide distractions.

The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

Bio

Name: N/A Location of origin: Boston, Massachusetts, USA Job: Rapid Recovery Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine." Emblems:    Description: The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to problem solve 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.

Trivia

• After players noted a resemblance between the Scout and TV pitchman Offer Shlomi (also known as Vince Offer), 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.^{[citation needed]}
• The Scout's voice actor, Nathan Vetterlein, also provides the voice for the "Church Guy" character in Valve title Left 4 Dead.
• The excited Scout mascot in the Force-A-Nature ad also appears in a slightly altered form as the icon for the 'You'll Feel a Little Prick' Medic achievement.
• 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.
