Any outdoorsman will tell you the most frustrating part of hunting is when a deer simply FALLS DOWN when shot, and doesn't FLY BACKWARDS into the forest.
— Force-A-Nature publicity blurb

Force-A-Nature'en, også kjent som FaN, er et opplåsbart våpen primary weapon for Scout. dobbelt-løps jakt hagle med extremt avsagde løp og tre-kolbe. Its name is a reference to what the Scout calls himself in Meet the Scout.

Compared to the Scattergun, the Force-A-Nature's ammo clip size is significantly smaller, only loading two shots at a time. However, it fires more rapidly and will cause opponents to suffer knock back inversely proportionate to the distance between him and the Scout. If the Scout fires the weapon while airborne, the inherent recoil will propel him opposite of the aimed direction. This is useful for making an effective third jump. Knockback is only delivered by the first shot; a second shot delivers none in the same jump.

While at first the Force-A-Nature appears to deal less damage than the Scattergun, it actually deals increased damage, spread over a greater number of pellets — 0.9x damage per pellet times 1.2x amount of pellets equals 1.08 times normal damage. The Force-A-Nature also shares the Scattergun's increased positive damage ramp of 175%.

Like other bullet-based weaponry, the Force-A-Nature's first shell will fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before 'bullet-spread' takes effect. When random spread is disabled, the pellets will form a three by three grid pattern.

When reloading, even if there is one bullet left in the chamber, two bullets will be consumed.

The Force-A-Nature is automatically given to any player who obtains 10 Scout achievements.

The kill icon for the Force-A-Nature was contributed by NeoDement.

  • In the inventory display the Force-A-Nature would split in half floating the front of the gun and the shells would float above the weapon

Trivia

  • The Force-A-Nature was manufactured in Portugal — a dubious claim, considering that its "good warranty" is actually written in Spanish, a common mistake for people unfamiliar with Portuguese language — and marketed towards the particularly sadistic Outdoorsman.
  • Double jumping and then firing both shots may cause the Scout to yell one of four responses, signifying a successful "triple jump" due to the knockback from the Force-A-Nature.
  • The sound effects for the Scattergun's unused "double shot" function were recycled into the Force-A-Nature.
