The Fan O'War is a melee weapon for the Scout. It appears as a large metal Template:W.
Hitting an opponent with the Fan O'War "marks them for death," which is denoted by a skull and crossbones icon over the target's head. The target also hears a distinctive sound upon being marked. After this, any subsequent damage dealt to the marked players are mini-crits. The weapon itself deals only 10% of the Bat's base damage.
The Fan O'War, released with the Shogun Pack, was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011. It is also available through crafting, item drops, or purchase from the Mann Co. Store.

Trivia
- Template:W (軍配) were used by samurai officers in Japan for means of communication with their troops. They are also used by judges in sumo wrestling competitions.
- "Fan O'War" is a reference to Template:W, a powerful class of British naval ship from the 16th to 19th centuries.
- The hovering skull and crossbones is the same as the particle effect used by the damage of the Gloves of Running Urgently.
- The Marked for Death icon that appears on the HUD is based upon the Heavy's skull shown on the "Anatomy of a Heavy Weapons Guy" poster.
- Players who are marked for death that look up will be able to see the death icon above their head.
- Unlike the other Shogun Pack items, the Fan O'War is described with an inaccurate haiku verse. Instead of the traditional 5, 7, 5 syllables, it instead reads 5, 5, 5.
