The Front Runner is a community-created cosmetic item for the Scout. It is a white sweatband with a team-colored stripe that pushes Scout's hair out of his eyes.
This cosmetic item has two styles, named "Stylin'" and "Indifferent". "Stylin'" has spiked up hair, and adds new headphones without a headband, while "Indifferent" removes the headphones and changes the hair to be gelled down.
The Front Runner was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
