 The Force-A-Nature |
|
| “ | Any outdoorsman will tell you the most frustrating part of hunting is when a deer simply FALLS DOWN when shot, and doesn't FLY BACKWARD into the forest. Those days are over. Anything this baby hits better PACK A LUNCH, 'cause it is going for a ride!
— Force-A-Nature publicity blurb
|
” |
The Force-A-Nature, also known as the FaN, is an unlockable primary weapon for the Scout. It is a large double-barreled hunting shotgun with sawn-off barrels and a wooden stock and foregrip.
Compared to the Scattergun, the Force-A-Nature's ammo capacity is significantly smaller, only being able to hold two shots at a time. However, it can fire twice as fast as the Scattergun and causes opponents to suffer knockback inversely proportionate to the distance between them and the Scout on hit (with extremely high knockback at point-blank range and no knockback at all at long distance). If the user fires the weapon while airborne, the recoil propels them opposite of the direction they aim. This can be used to perform a third jump in midair, opening up alternate routes for the Scout to take. Knockback is only delivered by the first shot on a target; after shooting, there is a delay of 1.5 seconds where the affected parties cannot be knocked back by a second shot.
The Force-A-Nature shares the Scattergun's increased positive damage ramp up of 175%. Overall, it deals slightly more damage than the Scattergun, spread over a greater number of pellets; 0.9× damage per pellet times 1.2× amount of pellets equals 1.08 times normal damage. However, the low ammo capacity results in more frequent reloads and a lower total damage per clip, making the Force-A-Nature struggle in extended firefights or against tankier classes like Soldiers and Heavies. When reloading, two shells are always consumed, even if only one shot was fired.
The Force-A-Nature's shells always fire at least one pellet straight down the crosshair, while the other bullets are spread out. Random bullet spread, enabled in Casual Mode, causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets spread in a fixed three-by-three grid pattern: each grid point receives one pellet, with the middle row receiving two extra pellets on its centermost point and one extra pellet on its rightmost point.
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 .

Notes

Trivia
- The Force-A-Nature's name is based on one of the Scout's lines in Meet the Scout.
- According to the Force-A-Nature's poster on the Scout Update page, the Force-A-Nature was manufactured in Portugal.
- The phrase "Buena garantia!" is actually Spanish (with the orthographical error of the missing inverted exclamation mark and missing tittle in "garantia"), a language Portuguese is commonly confused for. It roughly translates to "Good warranty!".
- The sound effects for the Scattergun's unused "double shot" function were recycled into the Force-A-Nature.
- According to the comic The Contract, Saxton Hale accidentally ordered 9 million Force-A-Natures to be made. The excess guns have been used for other things, such as creating a chair for Saxton Hale's office, welding two together to create a club, or simply dumping them.
