— The Scout on impersonators
 ”

스카웃은 9명의 병과 중에서 가장 빠른 이동 속도와, 이단 점프, 2배 빠른 점령 속도를 가지고 있으며, 근거리 및 중거리에서 일정한 피해를 줄 수 있습니다. 이러한 특성들은 스카웃이 점령 지점을 점령하는 등의 임무를 빠르게 완료할 수 있게 해주고, 적절한 때의 1대1 상황에서 더욱 유리하게 만들어줍니다. 그러나 125의 낮은 최대 체력은 스카웃이 몇몇 병과들과 대치하는 걸 어렵고 위험하게 만듭니다. 원형 회피와 무기 선정 및 스카웃이 적의 공격을 회피하는 동시에 최대한 많은 피해를 줄 수 있는 기술들을 사용해 전투를 유리하게 만드십시오.

간단한 팁

  • 스카웃은 다른 병과들보다 두 배 더 빠르게 점령할 수 있습니다. 만약 방어 상태가 아닌 점령 지점 주변에 있다면, 점령 지점에 올라서서 적을 산만하게 만들어 팀을 도울 수 있습니다.
    • 수레 밀기 맵에서, 스카웃은 다른 병과들보다 크기가 작기 때문에, 수레 뒤로 숨어서 수레를 방패로 삼을 수도 있습니다. 이 방법은 특히 움직이지 않는 센트리 건을 상대로 매우 효과적입니다.
  • 스카웃은 메딕의 활동 범위 밖에서 홀로 움직이기 때문에 치료제의 위치를 파악해 두는 것이 좋습니다.
    • 맵에 치료제가 많지 않거나, 치료제를 얻을 수 있는 상황이 아니면 미치광이 우유를 사용하십시오. 미치광이 우유는 난전에서 팀을 도울 때 사용할 수도 있습니다.
  • 그들의 체력이 낮다는 것을 확신하지 못 한다면, 강력한 병과를 직접적으로 처치하려는 시도는 하지 않는 것이 좋습니다.
    • 방심한 적을 처치할 때에는 (특히 강력한 적들의 경우) 기동성을 최대한 활용하십시오. 스카웃의 빠른 속도와 이단 점프는 멀리 떨어져 있는 두 지점 사이나 다른 병과들은 넘지 못하는 장애물을 넘어갈 수 있게 해줍니다. 만약 적이 집중적으로 공격하려 한다면 지속적으로 회피하는 움직임을 취하십시오.
  • 스카웃은 최대한 맞지 않아야 하는 반면, 센트리 건은 강력한 공격을 퍼부울 수 있음은 물론, 목표를 강하게 밀쳐낼 수도 있으며, 공격이 절대 빗나가지 않기 때문에, 스카웃이 가장 피해야 할 대상 중 하나입니다.
    • 주변에 엄폐물이 있다면, 센트리 건을 쏘고 엄폐물에 숨기를 반복해 홀로 남아있는 센트리 건을 파괴할 수 있습니다.
    • 봉크! 원자맛 음료를 이용해 센트리 건의 공격을 무시하고 지나가거나, 센트리 건을 유인해 팀이 센트리 건을 쉽게 파괴할 수 있게 도울 수 있습니다. 그러나 총알의 밀치기는 여전히 유효하므로, 센트리 건이 한쪽으로 밀어내 꼼짝도 하지 못하게 만들 수 있습니다.
  • 모든 병과들 중에서 가장 빠른 기본 이동 속도를 가지고 있으므로, 다른 팀원들이 텔레포터를 사용할 수 있게 두십시오. 거리가 멀지 않거나, 텔레포터의 재충전 시간이 오래 걸린다면, 텔레포터를 이용하는 대신, 직접 목표 지점으로 향하는 것이 더 좋습니다.

General

Combat

  • 스카웃은 1대1 전투에 뛰어납니다. 돌아다니고 있거나 홀로 남겨진 적 (스파이나 스카웃 등)이 목표물로 적합합니다. 만약 그들이 당신이 오는 것을 본다면, 아마 오래 살아남지 못할 것입니다. 적의 위, 뒤, 또는 당신을 볼 수 없는 곳에서 기습하십시오.
    • 목표의 우선 순위를 정하는 것은 스카웃으로서 매우 중요합니다. 메딕의 우버차지는 팀의 승패를 좌우하므로, 메딕을 우선 순위로 두십시오.
  • 야구방망이와 다른 근접 무기를 과도하게 사용하는 것을 자제하십시오. 공격 속도가 빠르지만, 피해량이 낮기 때문에 원하는 결과를 만들어내지 못할 수도 있습니다.
  • 스스로 적들을 처리하기 어렵다면, 도움을 요청하십시오. 스카웃의 화력은 오직 단일 적에게만 효과적입니다. 적의 지원군들이 도착한다면, 후퇴해야 할 수밖에 없습니다.
  • 스카웃의 속도는 백스탭과 헤드샷을 피하는 데에 유용합니다. 그러나, 점프를 하면 스나이퍼들이 예측할 수 있는 호를 그리며 가게 됩니다. (재빠르게 웅크리기를 한 채로) 이단 점프를 하며 양옆으로 움직여 스나이퍼의 공격을 피하십시오. 그러나 대부분의 스나이퍼들은 당신이 이단 점프를 하는 걸 기다리고, 땅에 떨어질 위치를 예측해 더 쉽게 맞출 수도 있다는 점을 명심하십시오.
    • 다양한 맵에서의 주요 시선들을 파악해두면, 스나이퍼를 항상 신경 쓰지 않아도 됩니다.
  • 넓고 탁 트인 지역은 스카웃의 기동성을 가장 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 지역입니다. 좁은 공간은 탈출 경로를 제한시켜, 생존을 더욱 어렵게 만듭니다.
  • 스카웃으로 플레이할 때에는 항상 움직이십시오. 만약 대치가 어려워진다면, 당신의 속도를 이용해 탈출할 수 있습니다. 그러고나서, 치료제를 찾고 재빨리 돌아와 적이 당신을 저지하기 전에 먼저 적을 처치할 수 있습니다.
    • 스카웃으로 적을 공격할 때, 절대 가만히 서 있지 마십시오. 스카웃의 최대 체력은 굉장히 낮기 때문에, 움직임만이 유일하게 당신을 죽음으로부터 구해낼 수 있습니다. 좌우로 움직임으로써, 당신의 속도를 유리하게 사용하십시오. 솔저나 스카웃과 같은 적과 대치 중일 때에는, 거리를 항상 유지하십시오. 솔저의 로켓은 근거리에서 90 이상의 피해량을 주며, 적 스카웃의 스캐터건은 당신의 스캐터건과 동일한 위력을 갖고 있습니다. 적 스카웃과 대치 중인 경우, 그들의 움직임을 따라하면 더 쉽게 맞출 수 있습니다. 체력이 75 이하로 떨어지면, 후퇴하거나, 불규칙적으로 점프하면서 적 스카웃을 정확하게 명중해 마무리할 수 있도록 하십시오.
  • 만약 적 주변을 돌고 있다면, 자신의 움직임에 더 집중하고, 조준선이 적에 맞춰졌을 때에만 발사하십시오. 이는 적이 당신을 쉽게 맞추지 못하게 만듭니다.
  • 스카웃으로 플레이할 때 당신에게 알맞는 마우스 감도를 찾으십시오. 높은 감도는 당신의 움직이면서 재빠르게 목표를 바꿀 수 있게 해주고, 낮은 감도는 마우스의 움직임을 보정해 근거리에서 더 쉽게 맞출 수 있게 해줍니다.
    • 최적의 감도는 플레이어마다 제각각 다릅니다. 당신에게 알맞는 감도를 찾을 때까지 새 감도를 시도해보는 걸 망설이지 마십시오. 알맞은 감도를 찾을 때에는 몇 일 간격으로 감도를 변경하면서 플레이해보십시오.
  • 체력이 낮을 때에는, 적을 습격할 수 있는 알맞은 때를 기다리십시오. 벽과 모퉁이를 이용해 쏘고 숨기를 반복하면 적들과의 전투를 유리하게 만들 수 있습니다.
  • 스카웃은 가장 작은 히트박스를 가지고 있고, 다른 병과들보다 물체 뒤에 더 쉽게 숨을 수 있습니다. 이는 적 무리가 지나가는걸 기다릴 떄 유용합니다.
    • 당신이 숨고 있는 물체의 형태를 잘 살펴보십시오. 만약 좌우가 좁고 높이가 높은 물체라면, 근접 무기를 들으십시오. 다른 무기를 들면 무기가 물체 밖으로 삐져 나와 당신의 위치를 노출시킬 것입니다. 반대로, 좌우가 넓고 높이가 낮은 물체라면, 주무기나 보조 무기를 드는 것이 좋습니다.
  • 히트스캔 무기를 사용하는 적과 전투할 때에는 예측 불가능하게 행동하십시오. 히트스캔 무기는 로켓 발사기나 화염 방사기와 달리, 탄환의 이동 시간 없이 당신을 즉시 맞출 수 있습니다.
  • 적 파이로가 당신을 압축 공기 분사로 띄우고, 보조 무기로 처치하려고 한다면, 이단 점프를 사용해 탈출하십시오.
    • 스카웃은 뒤로 달리는 속도가 앞으로 달리는 속도와 거의 동일하므로, 뒤로 달리면서 공격하면 불에 붙지 않고 적 파이로를 안전하게 처치할 수 있습니다.
  • 필요한 경우가 아니라면, 절대로 센트리 건과 정면으로 맞서지 마십시오. 만약 뒤쪽이나 옆쪽으로 접근할 수 있다면, 센트리 건의 느린 회전 속도을 이용해 쉽게 파괴할 수 있습니다. 엄폐물에서 재빨리 나와 센트리 건을 공격하고, 숨어서 센트리 건이 다시 원래 방향으로 돌아갈 때까지 기다리기를 반복하십시오.
    • 센트리 건은 근거리에서 당신의 속도를 따라잡지 못하기 때문에, 센트리 건 주위를 돌면서 공격할 수도 있습니다. 그러나, 센트리 건과 매우 가까이 붙어 있어야 하고, 지속적인 움직임 속에서 정확하게 조준할 수 있어야 합니다.
    • 만약 센트리 건 주변에 엔지니어가 있다면, 센트리 건을 직접 파괴하는 것보다는 다른 경로를 찾는 것이 더 좋습니다.
  • 기동성을 과대평가하지 마십시오. 때때로, 지속적으로 움직이는 것보다 가만히 멈춰있는 것이 유용할 때도 있습니다. 전투에서 유리한 상황이라면, 무모하게 움직임으로 인해 적을 빗맞추는 것 보다는, 조준에 더 집중해서 더욱 빠르고 정확하게 적을 맞추는 것이 더 좋습니다.


  • Rocket jumping Soldiers can easily be shutdown with the use of your Scattergun and other unlocks, due to the knockback it provides. This can be done to protect you and your teammates, especially your Medic, from an otherwise fatal interaction.
    • To maximize effectiveness, use your multiple jumps to close the distance, increase the damage done to the Soldier, and dodge potential rockets being shot from above.

Speed

  • Your speed allows you to decide which battles to engage in; enemies cannot escape from you if you pursue them, nor can they catch you if you don't want to fight them.
  • Your high mobility makes you more difficult to hit, and at long range, your speed can render certain projectile weapons useless, since you can easily dodge these attacks.
  • You can reach health/ammo kits or Dispensers more quickly than other classes when needed, minimizing your downtime.
    • However, be mindful of other players that might need a health kit more than you do, as your fast speed means you can easily find another one slightly farther away.
  • Death is less of a penalty for you since you will spend less time than other classes running to where the battle is. Still, be wary that you may die often due to your low health, and respawn times are not reduced for you.
    • You are often the first to the fight at the beginning of the round. Be cautious, though, as you won't be the only one on the battlefield for long.
  • Because you can easily outrun other classes, it is possible to backcap Control Points and other objectives. If the point captures quickly enough, this will lock the enemy out of capturing your own Control Point, forcing them to fall back.
    • Even if you do not manage to capture the point, you can still divert enemy forces so that some must run to deal with you, which you can then engage or simply escape.
  • You are the ideal Intelligence carrier due to your mobility. With good planning, firepower, and luck, you can snatch the Intelligence from enemy-guarded territory and still make it out alive.
  • Run into players to Spy check, as this can conserve ammo, and your high mobility means that doing so won't be much of a time penalty. If you do not pass through them, and instead bump into them, then they are a disguised Spy. One or two point-blank shots from your primary will be enough to kill the Spy. Be sure to keep your distance and never turn away, lest you open yourself up for a backstab.
    • Mad Milk can be useful for tracking down a cloaked Spy, as it allows you to see him while he is invisible. He will be unable to escape you until the debuff wears off — your speed allows you to pursue him easily.
  • Medics who heal you will be able to match your speed — help them reach the front lines faster! Try not to use your double jump too much — you might leave him behind a barrier he cannot cross and leave him open to enemy attacks.

Weapon Heckling

  • Weapon heckling is a tactic that involves deploying a weapon that outranges or overpowers the current weapon your opponent is holding. While every class is capable of doing this with varied results, the Scout's natural speed and his weapons (with different optimal ranges) allow you to pull this off with much more efficiency.
  • Know the optimal range of your weapons and use them when your opponent is using a weapon that cannot significantly harm you at said range.
    • For example, if a Soldier is your target, move in close (though not too close) and blast him with a Scattergun at close range. If he knocks you back with the Rocket Launcher, draw your Pistol and fire at medium range, where rockets take some time to reach. If he switches to the Shotgun to deal accurate and instant damage, get close again and shoot with the Scattergun, where his Shotgun will deal less damage than his Rocket Launcher.
  • Weapon heckling is as important when fighting enemy Scouts as it is with fighting other classes. It is usually more effective to use your Pistol over a Scattergun at medium range, for example, in order to maximize your damage and still have extra Scattergun shots in reserve.
    • As both of you will usually be avoiding each other's shots, it is sometimes possible to bait enemy Scout(s) into using up all his Scattergun shots, then taking advantage of his reload time and running in with your Scattergun or Bat.
The Scout's double jump is incredibly versatile; use it well.

Jumping

  • Whichever movement key is being held at the time of the double jump is the direction you will go. This allows you to instantly change direction in mid-air and confuse enemies.
    • Performing a double jump without pressing a movement key will cancel all horizontal momentum, regardless of your current speed. As a result of this, try to predict where enemies are aiming before double jumping.
  • Jumping in combat is a double-edged sword. Against weaker players, it can effectively throw off their aim. However, experienced players can wait for you to commit to your second or third jump before attempting an airshot. Once you have committed, your trajectory is mostly locked and skilled players can easily predict your path and severely damage or outright kill you either before or right when you reach the ground.
    • An example is with Snipers: most usually aim where they expect you to be just after they zoom in, and double jumping will throw them off. Skilled Snipers, however, can use this to predict the path of your second jump, since you cannot move in mid-air after using it, and line up a headshot at your inevitable location.
  • Double jumping just before you hit the ground will negate fall damage, regardless of the distance you have fallen.
  • Use the double jump to take the higher roads over railroad cars and bridges. Most opponents tend to look forward, rather than up. If it is safe to do so, attack from above to take enemies by surprise, using your double jump to negate fall damage. You can confuse enemies by falling from above, firing at them, then jumping over their head as they turn around to see what hit them. This will often allow you to land one or two free hits on them before they figure out where you are.
  • Certain ledges may require you to crouch-jump in order to reach them. Holding the crouch button while performing a double jump will allow you to reach those ledges.
  • Crouch-jumping can also shrink your hitbox making it harder for enemies to hit you. But you can only do this twice while in the air.
  • Make sure you jump before falling from a ledge if you are double jumping to another spot. Falling off negates your first jump, so be careful.
  • If you are under fire, try double-jumping over the enemy's head to disorient them. You can also use this maneuver to land a couple of extra shots at close range.
    • A slightly difficult, yet potentially useful strategy is to jump on top of an enemy's head, and attack from there. This is best used against Heavies, whose slow movement speed makes it easier to stay on top of them. However, they will be able to kill you quickly from close range, so only engage Heavies when they are vulnerable and on low health.
  • You are able to perform a triple jump of sorts if the Force-A-Nature is equipped as your primary weapon, as the recoil from firing can be used to propel yourself a few feet in the opposite direction of where the shot was fired. To do this, jump and then double jump, and while in the air after the second jump, aim directly down and shoot. It will propel you into the air, effectively giving you a third jump.
    • The Force-A-Nature can be used for a single, very high jump if timed correctly. Whilst running forward, aim down and jump. As you leave the ground, immediately shoot directly down. You will go much farther into the air than a regular double jump would, and you'll still have your double jump.
    • Similar results can be achieved using the Boston Basher's self-damage, though this costs a lot of health to use.
    • The Atomizer allows you to do a triple jump in the same manner as regular jumping, but you must have it deployed.
      • You can use the Force-A-Nature and the Atomizer together to perform a quad jump.
      • The Soda Popper allows you to quintuple jump after filling the Hype meter; however, this does not stack with the Atomizer.
      • When active, the Winger increases the height of all your jumps, allowing you to boost any previously mentioned jump techniques.

Scattergun

스캐터건 		Killicon scattergun.png 6 32 90-110 15-30 3-6 183
  • With six shots, the Scattergun is your most reliable primary weapon for prolonged combat, as well as the most versatile compared to the others. This comes at the cost of a relatively long reload time when it is empty, so try to keep at least two shots loaded before engaging the enemy.
  • The Scattergun does large amounts of damage at close range — one shot deals 105 damage if all bullets connect at point-blank range, slightly more than a Shotgun (which in comparison only does a maximum of 90 damage at point-blank range). This makes three shots enough to take out a non-overhealed Heavy. Think about how to engage your opponent without alerting them to your presence. Many classes will go down quickly if caught off-guard.
  • Range severely reduces the Scattergun's damage. If you have not been noticed yet, avoid firing early. Wait until you are just a few feet away from the enemy and then open fire. This reduces the number of times you need to hit the enemy and gives them less time to react. This also may negate the need for reloading in the middle of a fight.
    • This is a major factor in fighting Soldiers. Two shots are enough to take down a Soldier at point-blank range, while you need three to do the same at a slightly greater distance. The difference between needing only two shots to kill and needing three is huge against a class whose primary weapon can easily kill you. Sneak up, flank, close the distance, and score two point-blank shots to eliminate him before he can react.
    • If you can, use the Pistol to soften up your targets at a distance before moving in for the finishing shot with your Scattergun.
  • When using your Scattergun, a reliable method to hit your target is to strafe left and right with your cross-hair centered and firing when your cross-hair crosses your opponent rather than solely using your mouse to aim. This allows you to focus on moving more efficiently and erratically, making you harder to hit, while at the same time making your aim smoother and more accurate via prediction.
  • A trick that may work against newer Scouts is to shoot 3-4 shots from the Scattergun and then reload one shot. If the enemy sees you reloading, they may believe it is safe to rush up to you, giving you an easy chance to dodge and kill.

Force-A-Nature + reskins

Force-A-Nature
Unlock
자연에 섭리 		Killicon force-a-nature.png 2 32 88-105 16-38 3-6 194
  • The Force-A-Nature has only two shots per clip, fires considerably faster than the stock Scattergun, and reloads both shots at once. It also has 10% less damage per pellet in exchange for 20% more pellets per shot, making it deal slightly more damage per shot than the Scattergun. The Force-A-Nature will knock nearby targets back, and when he is in mid-air, the Scout as well. This mechanic allows triple jumps (and quadruple jumps if accompanied by the Atomizer).
  • The Force-A-Nature's high burst damage and quick firing speed make it good at hit-and-run tactics. However, try not to get into a firefight with many enemies at once, as its slow reload time, small magazine, and short range is not suited for large, prolonged shootouts. Instead, try flanking to take on a single isolated enemy. Try not to approach them from the front; instead, attack from the side or behind, where you can close in easily.
  • Because the Force-A-Nature discards the second round if reloaded before both rounds are fired, it might be wise to turn off the automatic reload feature from the Advanced Options menu.
  • Keep in mind that you can jump even longer distances with the Force-A-Nature by jumping, aiming below you, and firing at the end of your second jump. Another method is to jump, fire quickly, and jump again. Only fire one shot, as firing a second shot while still in the air will not have any further effect on your velocity.
    • Use your recoil to reach high places in order to kill unaware classes from above. It lowers your chances of being killed when getting closer because players do not usually look up.
    • The Force-A-Nature works better while the target is busy with something, such as an Engineer setting up a building.
  • Use the Force-A-Nature's knockback ability to your advantage, since it can send enemies flying several meters and into hazards such as the pits in Lumberyard and Steel. It is particularly useful in places where enemies huddle together. You can jump in, blast two people away from the objective, and retreat to reload and strike again.
    • The knockback can be a double-edged sword, so if at all possible, determine where your shot will throw them into. It is not hard to accidentally send your target into a med-kit, into the safety of Sentry Gun coverage, or even into a cluster of his teammates.
      • Use the knockback to push people into walls, giving you an easy second shot to finish them.
  • The Force-A-Nature can push ÜberCharged enemies. Use this to either push enemies away from your teammates or break the Medi Gun beam and attack the now-vulnerable target.
  • The Force-A-Nature is generally easier to use when you are grounded, as your enemies will take the full force of the weapon's knockback and you will not lose control. When firing in the air, the knockback keeps enemies pinned down for a second, but your shot will blast you slightly backwards, which can throw off your aim and send you in a predictable path for people to fire at you.
  • If you equip the Force-A-Nature, consider equipping the Pistol as well. With the Pistol, you have the ability to finish off enemies that survived your Force-A-Nature shots without having to wait for the Force-A-Nature's reload, as well as a backup in case your targets are launched from your first shot. An alternative method is to use your Bat for the finishing hit, in which case it would be ideal to knock the enemy into a wall or the air first for an easy follow-up swing.
  • With fixed bullet spread on, the pellets from the shot will fire in a 3x3 grid. The extra two pellets will fire to the right of the center, making medium range engagements easier if you aim slightly to the left of the target.

Shortstop + reskins

Weapon Kill Icon Ammo Damage
Loaded Carried Point Blank Medium Range Long Range Critical
Shortstop
Craft
유격수 		Killicon shortstop.png 4 32 69-72 24-48 6-12 144
  • The Shortstop has a fast firing speed along with a clip-based reload for prolonged combat. The Scout is able to keep his distance while still doing decent damage because each pellet does double damage compared to the Scattergun, albeit with only four pellets per clip. When active, it makes the Scout 20% more vulnerable to push force taken from damage, explosions, or the Pyro's compression blast. Additionally, it allows the Scout to "shove" a single enemy away with secondary fire, causing them to get knocked back a short distance.
  • Four direct hits from the Shortstop can kill most classes, but be cautious when facing tougher classes like the Heavy, who may survive the four shots of the Shortstop and may kill you as you reload.
    • This can be mitigated by using the Mad Milk, which heals you based on the damage you do, effectively giving you more health to square off against bulkier classes, so long as you land your shots. Alternatively, use a damaging secondary like the Pistol to avoid having to wait for the Shortstop to reload.
  • It can be deceptively difficult to hit opponents with the Shortstop, since it only fires four pellets in a narrow spread. As such, treat the weapon somewhat like a Revolver: you have to aim accurately with your crosshair in order to deal good damage at medium range, while its spread and damage makes it near useless at long range.
  • This weapon fires two seconds of critical hits whenever it randomly crits, similarly to the Pistol. Hence, while crits from this weapon only deal a maximum of 144 damage per shot, you will be able to fire up to four critical shots to make up for it.
  • The Shortstop has a moderate reloading time; turning on auto-reload may cut off a good chunk of the reload time.
  • The Shortstop works well for dealing with Sentry Guns. A Mini-Sentry Gun will go down in about a clip, even when you are standing outside of its range, and standard Sentry Guns will take significant damage from the Shortstop's increased damage per pellet.
  • This weapon grants you a unique "shove" mechanic if you have the Shortstop as the active weapon, allowing you to push away enemies that are close by. This is useful for giving you space, since the Shortstop lacks the damage ramp-up of your other primaries, and can also forcibly reposition foes or push them into a hazard such as a pitfall or friendly Sentry Guns.
    • Unlike the compression blast, your shove does not happen instantly, and has a longer cooldown time between shoves. Time them carefully.
    • The shove can also be used to spycheck, effectively not wasting ammo and pushing the Spy away from you or your teammates.
  • While the 20% increase in knockback taken allows classes with knockback capabilities (like the Pyro) to easily push you into an environmental hazard, you can use this to your advantage; the knockback allows you to "surf" and escape from your pursuer.
    • Make use of air-strafing to control your trajectory if attempting this. Not only will this make you more mobile, but will also make it harder for enemies to hit you while airborne. To air-strafe, hold down a directional key (left or right) and turn your mouse slowly in that direction.
      • Miniguns and Mini-Sentry Guns can be great sources of knockback to surf off of at medium range, as they shoot at a consistent rate. This should only be attempted if you have a decent amount of health left, as Heavies especially can shred you in a second with their primary.
  • The Crit-a-Cola pairs well with this weapon, as the Shortstop's faster firing rate will maximize the potential of the mini-crit boost's duration, while its high damage per pellet and greatly increased accuracy will make you quite powerful at range.

Soda Popper + reskins

Soda Popper
Craft
탄산총 		Killicon soda popper.png 2 32 104 24-67 3-26 180 350 8 seconds
  • The Soda Popper is very similar to the Force-A-Nature, firing two shells in fast succession and reloading both shots, but with the damage and pellet count of the normal Scattergun, faster reload time compared to the Force-A-Nature, and no knockback. In addition, the weapon has a "Hype" meter that fills by dealing damage with any weapon while having the Soda Popper equipped. When completely filled, alternate fire activates "Hype mode" and grants 5 extra air jumps for 10 seconds. The Hype meter takes roughly 350 damage to completely fill.
  • Like the Force-A-Nature, the Soda Popper is generally useful for hit-and-run tactics due to its reduced magazine size. However, it reloads faster than the Force-A-Nature, making it better for offensive fighting.
    • As with the Force-A-Nature, reloading after firing one shot wastes the second shot, so try to make sure both shots are used for efficient ammo usage.
  • Similarly to the Baby Face's Blaster, you need to deal damage to fill up the Soda Popper's Hype meter. It takes approximately 4 point-blank shots from the Soda Popper, 16 shots from the Pistol, or 10 swings from the Bat to do so.
  • The extra midair jumps enhances your already good mobility. Classes that rely on tracking a target (such as the Sniper) or projectile classes with slow projectiles (like the Soldier) will have an even harder time landing direct shots on you before you land.
  • This can be paired very well with the Bonk! Atomic Punch for being able to jump around and take alternative routes that Scout would otherwise not be able to reach while also being invulnerable to make a great flank.
  • A good tactic is to constantly keep in the air with your extra jumps while firing downwards at your target. This lets you chip at your opponent's health while you evade all damage.
  • On large maps such as Frontier or 2Fort, Hype can be used to find alternate routes around the enemy, or to simply get somewhere faster.
  • The Pistol, Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol, and the Winger are all very suitable for attacking in midair with the hype meter as using your Soda Popper is used for close range attacks while pistols are usually associated with more long ranged attacks.
  • This weapon pairs very well with the Winger, as its increased jump height lets you reach even greater heights when using the Soda Popper's Hype. It also serves as a backup weapon for opponents that survive both shots of your Soda Popper, though other pistols will be more effective for dealing damage.
    • The stock Pistol is also a good choice as a backup weapon, as it is more useful in prolonged combat.

Baby Face's Blaster

Baby Face's Blaster
Craft
동안의 총 		Killicon baby face's blaster.png 4 32 90-105 10-40 3-10 180
  • The Baby Face's Blaster acts like the Scattergun, but decreases the Scout's base speed by 10% and only has four shots per clip. However, it has a boost meter: as damage is dealt, the meter fills and the Scout's speed increases. At full boost, the Scout runs 40% faster than a normal Scout. The boost decreases when receiving damage and upon a double-jump, and is lost upon death.
  • The Baby Face's Blaster is a strong weapon for those who stick to a "hit-and-run" playstyle. The quick speed allows a skilled player to avoid engaging in a prolonged fight to avoid damage and keep their boost from being drained, and take small chunks of health from a target multiple times before killing them.
    • However, its reduced clip size makes direct confrontations riskier, as you have less margin for error. Ambushes become less effective as well, as the number of enemies you can damage and/or kill with a clip decreases.
  • Your priority should be constantly gaining boost while using this weapon, due to the benefits you gain with increased speed and how easy it is to lose charge.
    • It takes 100 damage from any weapon to fill the boost bar, such as a point-blank shot from the Blaster. However, it only takes 25 damage to completely drain a full boost bar, making an enemy Scout's Bat swing or a single close-range Winger shot enough to take away all your increased speed. Keep scoring hits on opponents so your boost is always high.
  • At full boost, you will be extremely hard to hit as long as you move unpredictably. Only Sentry Guns, the Natascha, and Flamethrowers are constant threats. However, your inability to double jump without losing your boost means you will have a harder time dodging projectiles, such as rockets.
    • Your high speed will make it even more difficult to aim at times, so try and adjust for that by ambushing enemies, who will have no time to dodge.
  • Your full speed boost is capable of chasing down or retreating from any opponents, even enemy Scouts.
    • The only exceptions are enemy Scouts with the same weapon at full charge, a Demoman who is charging, and explosive jumping enemies. Have this in mind when fighting against any of those.
  • The Baby Face's Blaster is useful for reaching and capturing objectives. It is especially useful for grabbing the Intelligence on Capture the Flag maps and returning it quickly.
  • Air jumping will deplete 75% of your boost, making double jumps riskier if you want to keep your boost. Make sure your air jump is worth the sacrifice, such as to dodge a rocket that would have drained all of your boost anyway.
  • There are some instances to take note of when collecting boost:
    • Shooting an enemy Scout under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch will charge the Blaster's boost.
    • Shooting an enemy under the effects of a stock Medi Gun's Übercharge will not charge the boost.
  • Use your favorite secondary to collect boost as quickly as possible. Harass enemies with pistols at a distance for small gains, get a Flying Guillotine hit to instantly charge your meter, or drink Crit-a-Cola and blast at range.
  • The Fan O' War's mark for death can help with collecting boost. However, you have to actually hit someone with it first, which can be difficult with your initially reduced speed, and will make you a vulnerable target.
  • The Atomizer is not recommended to use with this weapon, as a triple jump will remove all your boost. However, it will make your jumps more effective when you actually need to use it.
  • The Boston Basher will charge up to 85% of your boost meter on a successful hit, but missing and hitting yourself will often fully drain it.
  • The Wrap Assassin is a good alternative to the Boston Basher as it has a ranged bleed on hit

Back Scatter

Weapon Kill Icon Ammo Damage
Loaded Carried Point Blank Medium Range Long Range Critical
Back Scatter
Craft
등짝 작렬총 		Killicon back scatter.png 4 32 90-105 8-32 2-8 180
  • The Back Scatter deals mini-crits when fired at close range from behind, at the cost of 20% increased bullet spread and a reduced clip size of four.
  • In general, the Back Scatter acts as an ambushing-focused sidegrade to the Scattergun. While it excels at picking off unaware targets, direct confrontations at medium range and farther become less effective due to its lower clip size and accuracy.
  • Some strategies that apply for the Spy may also apply to this weapon. Get behind enemies and fire at them while unnoticed to benefit from the Back Scatter’s mini-crits.
  • The Back Scatter deals 142 mini-crit damage at point blank — enough to kill 125-health classes with a single shot if all pellets connect. This makes you even more effective when attacking unaware targets, such as Snipers and Medics.
    • Jumping over an enemy and then quickly turning around can land you a free mini-crit shot.
  • The Back Scatter excels at Spy-checking due to a back hit being able to instantly kill enemy Spies.
    • If the Spy has a Dead Ringer, the mini-crit marker over his head will give him away. Follow this marker and shoot them until they die.
  • Even if your opponent turns around, you can still take them down with two shots at close range, since the Back Scatter deals standard Scattergun damage if all pellets connect.
    • The clip size penalty can be negligible if you do not usually use a gun's entire clip (for example, firing 2 shots then reloading will have no difference to the Scattergun), although this means you will reload more frequently.
  • Because of the decreased accuracy, engaging at medium range is not suggested. Prolonged combat also becomes less effective, as your lower clip size and higher bullet spread will put you at a significant disadvantage.
    • The extra spread of this weapon does make Spy-checking easier, though, due to the larger spread letting your bullets cover a larger area.
  • Getting behind enemy lines is crucial in using this weapon most efficiently. Bonk! Atomic Punch, the Atomizer, and the Winger synergize best with this, allowing you to get behind enemies without too much trouble.
  • Because of the lower clip size, it can be good to bring a Pistol variant for when you run out of Scattergun shots.
  • Pairing the Back Scatter with the Crit-a-Cola is not recommended, as the bullet spread will prevent your shots from hitting at range, while you can already deal mini-crits from behind anyway.
  • Due to the gun's stats when compared to the stock Scattergun, the Back Scatter can be used to help train Scouts to play their class more effectively overall.
    • The mini-crits encourage Scouts to adopt a more flank and ambush-focused playstyle, as well as avoiding damage in one-on-one fights by maneuvering behind the enemy.
    • The smaller clip size means the Scout can be left vulnerable waiting for a reload if they spam all their rounds, meaning the player needs to apply effective ammo management in order to not be caught vulnerable after spamming 4 shots and waiting for a reload.
    • The wider bullet spread means that the Scout needs to shoot only if they're as close to the target as possible, and to use their Pistol or Flying Guillotine for midrange rather than their primary.

  • Targets too far away for the Scattergun should be fought with the Pistol. Its greater accuracy at medium range and quick reload makes it a viable backup weapon for when your Scattergun runs out of ammunition, though it only holds three spare magazines of bullets.
  • One of the Pistol's primary uses is to finish off wounded targets attempting to retreat. Do not underestimate the power of the Pistol, as several shots at close range can kill you quickly.
    • The Pistol is also a great weapon for baiting enemy players. If you can run behind enemy lines, hit a few shots and then run away; players will often try to pursue you, making it easier for your team to move in without as much trouble.
  • The Pistol reloads much more quickly than the Scattergun. When both are empty, reloading the Pistol first will allow you to fire sooner than reloading the Scattergun.
    • Be careful - changing weapons before the Pistol finishes reloading will cancel the reload, wasting the time you spent reloading. Wait until when your ammo count changes before switching weapons.
  • The Pistol can waste a lot of ammunition if fired haphazardly into a firefight, partly due to its firing speed and especially since you only have three magazines of bullets. Choose your targets wisely and aim carefully.
  • Your Pistol is the best option to take down Sentry Guns from longer ranges than any other Scout weapon, since buildings are not affected by damage falloff. If you're out of the Sentry Gun's range, consider hitting the Engineer with a Sandman ball (if your using it) when he is far away from the Sentry (making it harder for him to reach the Sentry before you destroy it) and then destroying the Sentry Gun with your Pistol.
  • When running towards enemies aware of your presence, try firing at them with your Pistol before closing in on them with your Scattergun. When taking on lighter classes, 2–3 seconds of accurate Pistol fire can take away a quarter to a third of their maximum health, allowing you to finish them off with one close-range blast of your primary weapon.
  • The Pistol is one of the most deadly weapons to get Critical hits with. If you happen to get First Blood in Arena, switch to your Pistol, as it can take any class down in one clip, including most overhealed enemies if you fire fast, and accurately, and the Critical hits mean the Pistol can kill enemies from longer distances without a need to consider damage falloff. However, for closer ranges, the Scattergun may still work better.
  • The Pistol is a reliable backup weapon for any of your primary weapons. All Scattergun sidegrades have a lower clip size, so switch to your Pistol and fire at them once you are out of shots. This allows you to sustain fire when you would otherwise have been vulnerable reloading.

Weapon Kill Icon Ammo Damage
Loaded Carried Point Blank Medium Range Long Range Critical
Winger
Craft
윙어 		Killicon winger.png 5 36 25 15-19 10-12 52
  • The Winger deals 15% more damage per shot than the Pistol, but has only 5 rounds per magazine. It also allows the user to jump 25% higher when active.
  • The Winger requires you to fire more accurately than the Pistol. If you cannot aim well, consider using a different Pistol instead.
  • Much of the strategy incorporated with the use of the Pistol can be used with the Winger, but players must be wary of the Winger's frequent reloading.
  • The Winger is a better weapon-heckling version of the Pistol, inflicting higher damage per round in exchange for a much smaller magazine. Take advantage of its high damage and use it for close encounters.
    • However, the larger clip of the Pistol makes for more sustained damage, and can potentially take down a target when the Winger would have run out of shots. Choose whichever one is preferable for the engagement.
  • Despite its drawback of 5 shots, this allows players to manage the ammo pool of the Winger more easily, and the increased damage, while not as great as the Pistol's damage-per-second due to its larger clip, is still useful as a backup weapon with your primary weapons. However, the Winger is best for short encounters with weak targets, while the Pistol excels at prolonged combat. Consider this when determining your loadout.
  • The higher base damage of the Winger makes it better suited for taking out Sentry Guns at a distance; remember that shots fired at buildings do not factor in damage ramp-up/fall-off.
    • However, the reduced magazine size will make it harder when there is an Engineer constantly repairing the Sentry Gun.
  • Use the Winger's increased jump height to take alternate routes throughout the map. Ambush enemies by approaching from unexpected areas.

Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol
Craft
계집애같은 사내의 소형 권총 		Killicon pretty boy's pocket pistol.png 9 36 22 13-17 8-10 45

The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol deals the same damage as the stock Pistol; however, it has a 25% smaller clip size. It allows you to heal up to 3 health per hit and has a 15% faster firing speed.

  • This weapon offers a middle-ground between the healing utility of the Mad Milk and the various offensive roles of the Stock Pistol. It does not support your team, but it can be greatly beneficial for surviving when roaming around in enemy territory, where friendly Dispensers and Medics are scarce. It also fulfills most of the Stock Pistol's roles, albeit slightly less effectively.
  • Due to its increased firing speed, the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is excellent for dealing fast burst damage that the stock Pistol cannot match.
    • However, due to the decreased clip size, the Pistol still deals more damage overall, but across a longer period of time.
  • As a Pistol, this weapon is useful in all the same ways as the Stock Pistol, including the ability to easily finish off weakened enemies at a distance, directly fight enemies at a distance, and destroy Sentry Guns at a distance, among others.
    • Similarly to the Stock Pistol, the Pocket Pistol also offers an alternative to the Scattergun with better effective distance, faster fire rate, and a faster reload speed. It is a good backup weapon for when there is no time to reload your Scattergun or when you are out of its effective range.
  • The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is useful for healing minor wounds. Fire at unaware or unprepared targets.
  • Attacking unaware or distant enemies can significantly increase the Scout's chances of survival.
    • Some very easy targets to hit include unprepared Heavies and Pyros.
    • If being pursued by an enemy, it may be a good decision to turn around and fire at them, to partially regain health you are losing.
  • If lit on fire, shoot the offending Pyro. Stay out of the range of their flames and backpedal while firing.
  • Don't rely on the healing of the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol alone. If you need to heal a significant portion of your health, reach a health pack or Medic instead, and use the Pistol to top off any remaining health while you retreat.

Bonk! Atomic Punch + reskins

Weapon Ammo Effect
Loaded Carried Drink Effect Duration Recharge Time
Bonk! Atomic Punch
Unlock
봉크! 원자맛 음료 		1 ∞ Drink to become invulnerable. Cannot attack, capture, or defend during this time. Damage absorbed will slow you when the effect ends. 10 seconds 29 seconds
  • When consumed Bonk! Atomic Punch, you will become invincible for 8 seconds, although you are still affected by knockback, similar to an ÜberCharge. While active, the camera shifts to a third-person view, and the Scout cannot attack (but can still taunt-kill with the Sandman or Atomizer). After the invulnerability effect wears off, the Scout will receive a 5-second slowing effect based on the damage they absorbed under Bonk!'s effect. Bonk! takes 24 seconds to recharge after use.
  • Use Bonk! as a safety net when you find yourself in a bad situation, like running into Sentry Guns, Heavy/Medic combos, or large groups of enemies.
    • Be careful where you drink Bonk!; for the duration of the drinking animation, you are immobile and vulnerable to damage. If you are launched by knockback while you drink, the animation will be canceled and you will not gain invulnerability, but it will still consume the drink and you will have to wait for it to recharge.
    • Take note of the map's flank routes and locations. You may need to run to a deserted area and wait out the slowdown following the end of your effect, as you will be highly vulnerable then, or you may be able to run behind your teammates for cover and recovery.
  • You can still perform some actions after you have drunk Bonk!, such as reloading your Scattergun and taunting. This can help you get ready for your next fight, or set up a taunt kill on unaware players. As you cannot switch weapons under Bonk!, make sure that you switch to the Bonk! from your primary rather than your melee weapon, as you will be forced to the last held weapon after you use Bonk!.
  • Bonk! can be used to avoid damage-over-time from fire or bleeding. Though the afterburn will continue to damage you after Bonk! wears off, the life extension Bonk! gives you just might be enough to reach a water pool or a source of health before you burn to death.
    • This also lets you negate Jarate and other effects that mark you for death. Drink Bonk! to protect yourself from the increased damage you will take otherwise. It is also possible to be covered in Jarate during the effects of Bonk!, so if this happens, make a hasty retreat before you begin taking damage again.
      • However, this does not work for effects like the Mad Milk's health-on-hit effect, as enemies can still gain on-hit effects from you while you are under the effects on Bonk!. The same goes for enemy Medics using the Ubersaw, as they can still fill up their ÜberCharge meter by hitting you.
  • If your team is about to push with an ÜberCharge, take a drink before turning a corner that could potentially have a Sentry Gun or Stickybombs around it. This can keep your Medic safe before he uses his ÜberCharge, and your allies can take out the opposition while you provide cover and distraction. It may also let you take the brunt of the knockback rather than your teammates, so they can advance more easily. If you have no one backing you, simply reporting what you found via voice chat or using the "Sentry Ahead!" voice command can potentially save your teammates.
    • If your team lacks a Medic, you can use Bonk! in the same way as an ÜberCharge, making the Sentry Gun target you while your teammates attack it. Make sure to escape before the Bonk! wears off, and know that Sentry Guns will deal knockback to you that may make it harder to flee. However, Wrangled Sentry Guns may make this ineffective, as the Engineer controlling it will likely focus its fire on the greater threats.
      • It is possible to position yourself so that the Engineer is between you and their Sentry Gun. As Sentry Guns can injure both their owner and the enemy, you can use this to kill the Engineer with his own Sentry Gun, though this can be risky, as you will need to balance time used to kill the Engineer as well as time to escape before the effect ends.
    • As you will be absorbing high amounts of damage, you will be considerably slowed after the invulnerability wears off. If you "dodge" 200 damage or more, you will be reduced to half speed for 5 seconds, allowing enemies to hit you easily.
  • It is very easy to distract enemies while you are under the influence of Bonk!. Enemy Snipers can be distracted as they try to shoot you or keep their crosshair on you, waiting for your invulnerability to wear off. Running into Soldiers and Demomen will usually result in them hurting or outright killing themselves with their explosive weapons. Heavies and Pyros will also find it difficult to focus on firing if you run circles around them.
  • You can use your invulnerability to block enemies or projectiles. Body-blocking an enemy Medic's patient can potentially waste their ÜberCharge. More importantly, it saves your Medic's ÜberCharge for dealing with the enemy, rather than countering the enemy's charge.
    • Save Sentry Guns or even hurt teammates from enemy fire by taking rockets and bullets before they can hit. Keep track of when your Bonk! runs out, though, and escape a few seconds before it wears off to recover from the post-effect slowdown in peace.
  • Bonk! can be used to propel yourself across the map using enemy explosives or Sentry Guns. However, where you will go is often unpredictable, as you will have to rely on enemies for knockback.
  • Try to avoid taking unnecessary fire from enemies, as it will slow you down even more. Remember that you can still dodge attacks just as easily under the effects of Bonk!.
  • Try to use Bonk! at the right time. Using it in situations where it was not needed may result in a slowdown effect for no reason.

Crit-a-Cola

Loaded Carried Drink Effect Duration Recharge Time
Crit-a-Cola
Craft
훅가콜라 		1 ∞ While effect is active: each attack mini-crits and sets Mark-For-Death for 10 seconds. 5 seconds 20 seconds
  • When consumed Crit-a-Cola, all damage dealt will be mini-crits for 8 seconds. Attacking while under the effect will mark you for death for five seconds (does not stack). The active weapon will glow and crackle with electricity (similar to a Crit boost, but with a much lighter color). The effect lasts 8 seconds and can be used again in 24 seconds.
  • The Crit-a-Cola is a high-risk, high-reward weapon. A mini-crit-boosted Scattergun is a very powerful weapon, but its glow can single you out as a target, and since you take mini-crits for five seconds after attacking, you can die very quickly. Because of this, the Crit-a-Cola encourages an ambush style of play.
    • Since you take mini-crits for five seconds after attacking, using this to up your damage output in a 1v1 fight is no longer viable, so Crit-a-Cola is now mainly a tool for assassinating lone players or flanking and taking out Medics.
  • During the 8-second mini-crit period, you can fire up to 7 Scattergun shots, 6 Force-A-Nature shots, 9 Shortstop shots, or swing any melee weapon 10 times. As such, make sure your weapon is fully loaded to benefit the most from the mini-crits.
      • Keep in mind that when you use the Crit-a-Cola, you will automatically switch to your last equipped weapon. If this is your melee weapon, be prepared to attack with it or quickly switch to your primary.
  • At point-blank range, one blast from the Scattergun (or any primary weapon other than the Shortstop) with the mini-crit buff is capable of killing any 125 HP class from full health. Therefore, if you find yourself behind multiple light classes, the Crit-a-Cola can give you one kill per shot. Land two shots to kill most other classes.
  • Be careful about drinking the Crit-a-Cola when facing competent Soldiers or Demomen. You will die to one close-range direct hit rocket or grenade, and if you are using the Sandman, one point-blank Shotgun blast will also kill you.
  • Since mini-crits do not suffer from damage falloff, your primary weapon will remain useful at a longer range as well.
    • However, you will still be generally disadvantaged at range against most classes. As you are vulnerable while drinking, it is better to hide, drink it, then run closer to fight back.
  • Never drink the Crit-a-Cola under the effects of a friendly Buff Banner or a critical hit boost, or when facing an enemy that is marked-for-death. Your mini-crits do not stack with critical hits or other mini-crits - using Crit-a-Cola will only weaken yourself with a self-inflicted marked-for-death debuff.
    • If possible, coordinate drinking Crit-a-Cola with a friendly Soldier's Battalion's Backup; the defense boost will negate your increased vulnerability and will allow you to deal mini-crits with no downsides.
  • The Force-A-Nature is capable of dealing up to 134 damage with the Crit-a-Cola, making it possible to kill any class (besides overhealed Heavies) with two shots at point-blank range. This tactic is best used for taking out a single, high-priority target, such as a Medic with a prepared ÜberCharge, as the Force-A-Nature's fast firing speed may be able to kill the enemy before they can react.
    • Remember to take into account the Force-A-Nature’s knockback to ensure you don’t accidentally blast your target into safety.
  • The Crit-a-Cola pairs well with the Shortstop, as its extra range and tighter spread combined with mini-crits not being affected by damage falloff lets you fire from a safer distance than is possible with the Scattergun.
  • The Crit-a-Cola and Soda Popper can be used together well because the damage boost from the Crit-a-Cola allows you to charge your Hype faster, and the Hype buff will allow you to avoid most damage altogether, negating your marked-for-death debuff.
    • However, you sacrifice a secondary weapon, making you less effective at long range.
  • When using the Baby Face's Blaster with the Crit-a-Cola, it is much easier to gain boost at a distance due to the mini-crits.
  • It's recommended to avoid using the Sandman when equipped with the Crit-a-Cola, because the 15 base health you lose may allow Soldiers, Demomen, and other Scouts to kill you before you can kill them.

Mad Milk + reskins

Mutated Milk
Uncrate
돌연변이 우유
  • Mad Milk is similar to Jarate, it is a thrown weapon that covers enemies in the substance, and nullifies the Cloak of enemy Spies and extinguishes teammates and yourself when on fire. Anyone who attacks a player covered in Mad Milk will heal 60% of the damage they dealt. Mad Milk has a recharge time of 20 seconds.
  • Mad Milk allows you to remain in combat for longer without dying or needing to retreat, since you will regain health as you deal damage.
  • Mad Milk is a great supplement for an offensive push, allowing attackers to replenish their health quickly. Simply throw it onto enemy combatants and retreat while firing to both heal yourself and teammates. This makes overpowering the enemy much easier during pushes.
    • For example, when using the Kritzkrieg's crit-boost, teammates heal a great amount of health.
  • Mad Milk can also be used on defense. When thrown on a Payload or control point, your teammates and yourself can easily stop a push.
  • Using Mad Milk on classes like the Heavy can be a great benefit to your team because it allows your teammates to regain large amounts of health, due to his slow speed and high health. For example, Snipers will be able to regain at least 90 health if they land a headshot on a “milked” target.
    • While still risky, Mad Milk makes head-on approaches to bulky classes like Heavies much easier, as you will be able to take more damage as you attack the enemy.
    • Using Mad Milk on offensive classes like Pyros allows for survivability while fighting them. It allows you to survive the high outputs of damage from them through close range combat.
  • Mad Milk is a useful tool for dealing with enemy Spies. The dripping effect is easily spotted if they are disguised and will prevent them from evading your team by cloaking.
    • Additionally, the white particles of any player dripping in milk makes them more visible on dark maps such as Sawmill.
  • Mad Milk lets you extinguish teammates or yourself. It is especially beneficial to you, as afterburn will deal enough damage over time to drain half your health. Do not be afraid to use it when you see a burning teammate, as it refills 20% of its charge instantly if you extinguish a teammate.
  • Some of your Scattergun variants synergize well with Mad Milk.
    • The healing will be more effective at close range with the Scattergun, as the larger clip and stronger shots can keep you alive longer using Mad Milk's effect.
    • The Shortstop will excel at a distance, as its reliable medium-range shots will give you a decent amount of health while letting you hang back safely.
    • Mad Milk will keep you alive while you constantly hunt enemies with the Baby Face's Blaster to fill your Boost bar.
  • Hitting an enemy with the Fan O'War and dousing them with Mad Milk will return more health per hit, but may alert the enemy to your presence.

Bleeding Killicon bleed.png N/A N/A 40 damage over 6 seconds 54 damage over 6 seconds 40 damage over 6 seconds N/A
  • The Flying Guillotine is a thrown weapon that causes bleeding when it hits an enemy.
  • The Flying Guillotine sacrifices your accurate Pistol for a stronger, harder-to-aim weapon with cooldown. One hit from the Flying Guillotine deals moderate damage, equivalent to several Pistol shots, if including bleed. However, you will lack a secondary weapon if you miss, so make sure your throws count.
  • This weapon flies at an arc, and takes some time to reach its destination. Lead your target accordingly, as throwing where your enemy was will simply cause it to miss.
    • While it can be hard to aim, the Flying Guillotine is very hard to see when thrown. Enemies will usually fail to see your throw coming until it strikes them.
  • The Flying Guillotine deals no damage to buildings: when thrown at any building, the weapon will simply bounce off.
    • Conversely, enemy Pyros can airblast your thrown weapon and bounce it back at you. Be careful, as this will take away most of your health.
  • This weapon can be very useful on Payload matches because most players will be moving slowly and/or not paying attention while they are pushing the cart, so you can dish out a solid amount of damage. The added bleeding effect negates the healing from the cart and you can move in and easily kill the player with your Scattergun.
  • Paired with the Force-A-Nature, you can use the Flying Guillotine to cripple an enemy's health greatly, and while they go to find a health kit, you can chase them down with the Force-A-Nature and finish them off with 2 quick shots to the back. This works better with lower-health classes like Sniper, Spy, or even another Scout, while leaving the classes with more health to your teammates.
  • Bleeding damage included, a regular hit will fill up most of the Baby Face Blaster's boost gauge in one hit.
  • Long-range hits will decrease the already short recharge time. Try to hit shots from farther away to make it able to be thrown more often.

  • While the Bat swings quickly, it deals less than half the damage of other stock melee weapons. Each swing does 1/3 of a point-blank Scattergun shot, making it only useful as a backup weapon.
    • On servers with random critical hits, the Bat becomes much more effective due to its high swing speed, which lets it roll for more crits compared to other melee weapons.
  • The Bat works well as a finishing weapon. A couple fast hits on an injured enemy will most likely kill them.
    • If low on ammo or have no time to reload your weapons in the middle of a firefight, the Bat acts as a last resort weapon, although it is usually best you retreat.
  • In a one-on-one melee fight, you will be able to get in more hits due to the Bat's swing speed and your own mobility, but your enemy will be able to kill you faster if he lands his.
  • You may prefer to kill situationally-unaware or aiming-impaired Heavies with the Bat by circle strafing around them or jumping on top of their large bodies, but this strategy should not be used excessively otherwise.
  • You may use the bat when ambushing an enemy who is constantly strafing (as melee weapons require less precise aim to hit).
  • Unless under the conditions described above, you would generally be better off using your Scattergun.

  • The Sandman can launch a baseball with the secondary fire that will slow an enemy on hit for 1-8 seconds, depending on how long the ball has stayed in the air, but carrying this weapon will lower the Scout's maximum health by 15, to a total of 110. Hit targets are considerably slowed and cannot jump. Hitting an enemy with the ball at maximum range will render the target immobile for the entire effect duration. The ball has a recharge rate of 10 seconds, but can instantly be reused by picking up a baseball that has been launched by the player or another Scout.
    • The ball counts as a projectile, and can be airblasted.
    • A launched ball lingers for 3 seconds if it hits someone, or 10 seconds if it doesn't.
  • The Sandman can be a great support weapon for your team. Slowing a target that has a Kritzkrieg activated on them can delay the enemy's push.
    • It is also a great tool for slowing key targets, like Heavies, Medics, or Snipers, leaving them open to attack.
  • If you are caught in a bad situation, the slowing effect can buy you enough time to get to safety.
    • Similarly, if you are in a situation to get the first strike, slowing your opponent can make it much easier for you to hit them before they can react.
  • Critical hits lengthen the slow time. In servers with random critical hits enabled, the baseball also uses the same base critical chance of 15% as any melee weapon, making such criticals rather common on these servers.
  • Aiming the baseball is not always easy due to its arc and travel time, but in certain areas, it can be. For example, the bridge in Badlands is just long enough for you to hit an enemy with a moon shot (a maximum strength slow) and it is relatively easy to hit someone with it since the bridge is a straight pathway.
  • When equipping the Sandman, be aware that you start with only 110 health. At point-blank range, a Soldier can kill you with one rocket, as can a Demoman with a well-placed stickybomb. If survival is a priority, it is better to switch to another melee weapon.
  • A lone Engineer is a prime target for the Sandman's ball. While slowed, the Engineer may not be able to reach his Sentry Gun in time due to his decreased speed. Use this opportunity to attack the Sentry Gun. This is especially useful if the Engineer is a good distance away from his Sentry Gun.
  • Avoid using the Sandman with Crit-a-Cola, as the 15 health deduction will allow enemies to kill you nearly instantly.

  • The Holy Mackerel and Unarmed Combat are similar to the stock Bat. But each hit will be announced on the kill feed, and with a kill will show "FISH KILL!" or "ARM KILL!".
  • While the kill feed announcement may be aesthetic, hitting a cloaked Spy will be displayed on the kill feed. Conversely, triggering a Dead Ringer Spy's cloak or hitting a disguised Spy will not be displayed in the kill feed. This lets you track down Spies that attempt to feign death.
  • The Holy Mackerel and Unarmed Combat will make your presence known to any enemy who looks at the kill feed and draw attention to you.

  • The Candy Cane drop a small Health pack, regardless of what weapon the player was using in order to kill the enemy. As a drawback, the Scout takes 25% more damage from explosives.
  • Killing an enemy with any of your weapons while you have the Candy Cane equipped will drop a health kit.
    • Use the Candy Cane to check for Dead Ringer Spies, as feigned deaths will not drop Health kits.
  • The Candy Cane can be a double-edged sword when fighting groups of enemies. While the dropped Health packs can allow you and your teammates to stay in the fight for longer, they can also be picked up by the enemy, making them more difficult to kill. Use it when pushing the enemy back.
  • A successful kill with the Candy Cane in Medieval Mode will cause two health kits to be dropped instead of one.
  • Try to avoid Soldiers and Demomen due to the explosive damage penalty. With the Candy Cane equipped, a direct hit from most of their primary weapons at close range will instantly kill you.
    • With this knowledge, consider equipping this weapon with others that give you additional damage vulnerability, such as the Crit-a-Cola, may be useful, as any hit from an explosive would kill you anyway, even without the marked-for-death effect.
    • You can also use this fact to train yourself to dodge better, as getting hit by the explosive damage punishes you for not dodging well.
  • Using the Mad Milk with the Candy Cane can allow you to heal yourself and teammates if no Medics or Health kits are nearby.
  • The Candy Cane is also useful when you have a damaged Medic nearby. With the Medic's healing, you can easily secure a kill, which will drop a small medkit for your Medic.

Bleeding Killicon bleed.png N/A 40 damage over 5 seconds 50 damage over 5 seconds N/A
  • The Boston Basher will apply bleed to an enemy hit by it for 5 seconds (for a total of 75 damage), but on miss, it will apply 18 base damage and bleed effect to the user at a reduced rate (a total of 48 damage). The user will not be damaged when hitting a teammate, any world geometry, or props.
  • Be cautious and accurate with your shots; missing can take out up to half your health.
    • Spamming the Boston Basher will usually result in death; it is advisable to only go for 1-2 hits per attack on a target.
    • If you end up making yourself bleed, you can stop the bleeding by using items such as Mad Milk, Bonk! Atomic Punch, or a health kit.
  • A successful hit including bleed will deal 75 damage, making hit-and-run tactics even more effective. Run in, melee your target once to soften him up, and fire Scattergun shots as you retreat.
    • If you are losing a one-on-one fight and need to escape or are likely to die, hitting your opponent as you run away may be enough to kill them. This is more effective on light classes like other Scouts, although heavier classes may still be forced to retreat.
  • Ambushing is key with the Boston Basher. If an enemy is unaware of your presence, run in and land a few hits with the Basher before finishing them off with your Scattergun.
  • By swinging right after jumping, you can boost yourself with the self-damage of the Boston Basher to heights comparable to the Pyro's Detonator jump. However, this costs a lot of health, so take note of where the map's health packs are.
    • By combining the boost of the Boston Basher with the ability of the Force-A-Nature to perform a third jump, you can jump over long stretches of a map.
  • By hitting yourself while being healed, you can help a friendly Medic build ÜberCharge faster.
  • The bleed effect can be useful for preventing Spies from escaping by cloaking. However, do not try to hit a Spy that is already invisible, or you may weaken yourself and allow him to finish you off with his Revolver.
    • Hitting a teammate will not result in damage, this can be used for Spy-checking.
  • If you land a successful hit on an enemy with the Boston Basher while the enemy is coated in Mad Milk, the bleed damage will heal you. This can reduce the health lost from missed attacks.
  • The Crit-a-Cola can be useful with the Boston Basher; self-inflicted damage will not be boosted by Crit-a-Cola's effect, and the mini-crits apply to bleed damage making it an even better ambush and hit-and-run tactic against enemies because of the increased damage dealt.

Sun-on-a-Stick

해를 품은 막대 		Killicon sun-on-a-stick.png 0.5 seconds 26 35 79
  • The Sun-on-a-Stick delivers 25% less damage than the stock Bat, but guarantees a critical hit whenever you strike a burning enemy. Additionally, it grants the user 25% fire resistance when it is the active weapon.
  • Equipping the Sun-on-a-Stick usually comes down to whether you have a Pyro on your team, as the critical hits only come into play when your opponent is suffering from afterburn.
    • Likewise, fire resistance is virtually useless if there are no Pyros on the enemy team, and flat-out worthless if there are no enemies capable of inflicting fire damage at all, such as Cow Mangler 5000-wielding Soldiers.
  • While the Sun-on-a-Stick's critical hits on burning targets are powerful, your Scattergun deals damage much more reliably. Because of this, attacking with the weapon is generally a bad idea unless you are ambushing a burning enemy.
  • The Sun-on-a-Stick's passive fire resistance is usually more useful than its highly situational critical hits, giving you the extra survivability needed to retreat to a health source when you're on fire.
  • The best game mode to use this weapon in is Medieval mode. Snipers and Pyros can light opponents on fire with the Huntsman and the Sharpened Volcano Fragment. Otherwise, it is overall a weak weapon to use for combat, and may not be reliable in a melee fight.

Fan O'War

죽음의 부채 		Killicon fan o'war.png 0.5 seconds 9 27 15 seconds
  • The Fan O'War will "marked for death" when hit an enemy. The "marked for death" is indicated by the skull with crossbones floating above their head, and all damage they take will be mini-crits. The "marked for death" effect lasts 15 seconds. The Fan O'War also deals critical hits when it would normally mini-crit. As a drawback, the Fan O' War deals 75% less damage on hit.
    • The Fan O' War's effect can only be applied to one enemy at a time.
  • Remember that the Fan O'War is essentially the melee equivalent of Crit-a-Cola; while you do not receive increased damage from enemies, it still requires that you get within point-blank range of enemies.
    • Unlike the Crit-a-Cola, you still get access to your secondary weapon, so the Fan O' War is a good choice if you do not use your melee weapon for combat often.
  • The Fan O'War deals 9 damage against unmarked players, and 26 damage for subsequent hits. Like most melee weapons, it is not a good choice for directly dealing damage. Hit the enemy once, then use your primary and secondary weapons to take full advantage of the damage bonus.
  • Ambushing and good maneuvering are crucial with the Fan O'War; whether you are using it on the front lines or the opposing base, remember that surprise is key to landing a hit. Rushing straight towards an enemy with a melee weapon is never a good strategy.
    • Try attacking enemies that are alone, so that you are not outnumbered once you mark an enemy for death.
    • If you are cornered, hit key targets like Heavies and Medics. Your teammates may be able to kill them even if you die.
  • Unlike Jarate, the mark for death persists for 15 seconds and its duration is not reduced if the target is being healed, making the Fan O'War better at weakening key targets.
  • The Fan O'War is very effective for countering Spies. Even if a marked Spy cloaks with a Dead Ringer, the skull symbol will remain above his head, nullifying his invisibility.

Atomizer

  • The Atomizer grants the Scout the ability to triple jump while holding the weapon and mini-crit enemies while airborne, but also deploys 50% slower in addition to 15% less damage done to players.
    • The Atomizer deals less damage to players, but not to buildings. Using it to take out an enemy Teleporter or Dispenser can conserve primary and secondary ammo while doing regular damage.
  • Like the Fan O'War, the Atomizer is more of a utility than a weapon. If you do not use your melee enough for its penalties to matter, consider using the Atomizer.
  • Use the Triple jump while attacking an enemy to be able to get a Mini-Crit and deal 40 damage. This Mini-Crit can be utilized expertly while dealing with slow classes such as the Heavy or the Soldier as they will be distracted and getting Mini-crits hit towards them and they not even noticing it.
  • The Atomizer's third jump can be very useful when retreating, as it gives you another jump to dodge enemy attacks. This triple jump can be used for distracting or confusing slow classes when going over them for a sneaky attack. Its switch speed penalty makes it less useful in direct combat, however; you cannot fire your Scattergun while holding the Atomizer.
  • Using the Atomizer's third jump, you can often take shortcuts into places in the map you could not otherwise reach. Try using them for devastating flanks.
  • The Atomizer does not pair well with the Baby Face's Blaster, as the Blaster loses most of its speed boost with each jump. Using your third jump will lose all your Boost.

Bleeding Killicon bleed.png 40 damage over 5 seconds N/A N/A N/A N/A
  • The Wrap Assassin allows you to launch a Bauble with secondary fire similar to the Sandman's baseball, but causes damage and bleeding on hit instead of slowing. The bauble also breaks on contact with a surface, dealing negligible damage to enemies around it, or the Scout himself. The Wrap Assassin's ball regenerates 25% faster than the Sandman's, allowing for more shots. The drawback is its melee damage, which is reduced by 65%.
  • The Wrap Assassin is a Sandman variant that sacrifices its slow ability for a more frequent damage option and no maximum health reduction. Its melee damage reduction should be negligible if you use a primary weapon at close range.
    • As the bauble works similarly to the Sandman's ball, most of the Sandman's tactics work for this weapon.
  • Try to aim at groups of people clustered together, such as near a control point, to increase your chance of hitting a target.
    • The ornament also shatters if it hits anything, dealing 4-13 damage in an area-of-effect. This shatter damage does not cause bleeding. Rely on direct hits to deal damage.
  • The bleed damage of the Wrap Assassin can greatly benefit from the Crit-a-Cola, as it will deal a greater amount of damage to enemies.
  • Although the Flying Guillotine does more damage and has a faster recharge time, the Wrap Assassin allows you to choose a secondary of your preference and retain a weapon that causes a bleeding effect.
    • However, using both at once can make you a damage-over-time powerhouse, as bleed damage stacks with multiple bleeding weapons. You will do up to 146 damage if both weapons hit.
    • Use the Force-A-Nature alongside the Wrap Assassin and Flying Guillotine to deal up to 259 damage.

  • It is advisable to only use your killing taunt on Snipers with tunnel vision. As with most other killing taunts, it can also be used to retaliate during Humiliation as the losing team.
  • You can use this taunt attack after drinking Bonk! Atomic Punch to be invulnerable during the taunt. Make sure to use it wisely because you can only do the taunt once in the duration of the Bonk! Atomic Punch. You can, however, still be knocked back, ruining the taunt attempt. It can prove useful to walk into a large crowd and perform the taunt, as unaware players might not spot you performing the taunt. However, this will likely result in getting yourself killed.
  • This taunt is completely quiet until executed. However, the kill gives off a much louder sound upon execution. Be sure to get ready for any attention you'll draw to yourself from the loud cheering sound after a successful Grand Slam taunt kill.

Weapon combinations

Cooperative Class Strategies

Leaderboard class scout.png 스카웃

An experienced Scout alone is powerful, but two or more, or even a squadron can cause massive havoc for the enemy team. A coordinated ambush can easily take down any enemy.

  • Because a Scout's main duties are to provide a distraction and rush to the objective, one Scout has the ability to distract a whole team at once by shooting from one route, while another Scout can go through an alternate route to the objective without any hassle.
  • If a team is experienced enough and is willing to cooperate, they can utilize a Scout Rush to swarm over enemy objectives before the enemy team has time to prepare a defense.
    • In Capture the Flag, a team of Scouts can get to the enemy base before the other team has time to set up defenses. Once the Scouts are situated in the flag room, it is only a matter of time before they capture the flag.
    • In Attack/Defend, a team of BLU Scouts can overwhelm the RED defense before they are fully prepared to counter-attack. Coupled with the outrageous capture speed of a Scout rush and the RED team's long respawn time, this strategy is very hard to combat.
    • In Payload Race, the cart only requires two Scouts to reach maximum speed, while the rest of the team can rush to the other cart and prevent them from advancing farther. With the majority of teammates focused on the enemy while the enemy is focused on their cart, the attacking team will make easy work of the opposition.
  • When teaming up with another Scout, make sure your loadout complements their loadout's weaknesses.
    • A team of Scouts can fulfill many roles; distracting Sentry Guns with Bonk!, slowing enemies for easier aiming, healing teammates and Spy-checking via Mad Milk, and even taking down a Heavy-Medic combo.
      • Even without the effects of Bonk!, a pair of Scouts can quickly rush a Sentry Gun and destroy it with their Scatterguns, with the Sentry having no one target to lock on.
  • Regardless of the tactics mentioned above, Scout teams suffer when the enemy has set up defenses; it will be difficult to overwhelm an objective quickly if a fully constructed Sentry Gun is built there, or if a Heavy-Medic pair constantly hunts you down. Additionally, cramped maps such as Junction will make it more difficult for Scout teams to avoid damage.
    • As such, the earlier in a round you attempt a Scout team, the better.

Leaderboard class soldier.png 솔저

While it may seem unlikely, a Soldier-Scout duo can easily decimate any obstacle that happens to move into their sights; with the combined effect of the Scattergun and Rocket Launcher's close to medium range power, it is unlikely that any target will survive long enough to fight back.

  • Although the Scout is very powerful on the ground, the Soldier is the master of the air. While the Scout engages an enemy from below, the Soldier can rocket jump and blast rockets on the ground to overwhelm his enemies. While both teammates are focused on the same enemy, they can easily take down any foe together.
  • As the Soldier's rockets have a longer travel time than bullets, the Scout can run in and clean up any injured enemies should the Soldier miss rockets at medium range.
    • Thses two teammates can work together as a tag-team. The Scout can protect the Soldier while he reloads by firing his Scattergun to draw attention away from the Soldier. The Soldier should have reloaded by the time the Scout runs out of bullets, and the Soldier can then protect the Scout as he reloads.
  • The Soldier, with his rocket jumps, can be just as mobile as the Scout, at the cost of some health. This pairing can be used to their advantage.
    • In Control Points, this means that they can both capture the same point together with the efficiency of three players. If the Soldier is using the Pain Train, this pair-up is especially effective.
    • In Capture the Flag, this combo allows the Scout and Soldier to capture the flag in double-time. While the Scout goes into the base to steal the intelligence, the Soldier waits outside for the Scout. The Scout passes the intelligence to the Soldier, where he rocket jumps back to his home base. The Scout goes back to the enemy base as he captures, and the cycle starts anew.
    • In Payload, a Scout can hide behind the cart while a Soldier stands on top of the cart to shoot at enemies. This pairing defends the Scout's invaluable double-capture bonus while still clearing a straight path to the next capture zone.
    • On Steel, the Soldier and Scout can both rush to Point E while the enemy team is distracted at other control points. The Scout can deny enemy troops a clear path by firing at approaching enemies, and the Soldier can target specific enemies so that they do not interfere.
  • This team can make a great Anti-Sentry Gun setup; the Scout can use Bonk! Atomic Punch to distract Sentry Guns, while the Soldier can destroy them and any Engineers with a few Rockets.
  • Mad Milk thrown by the Scout into a group of enemies will allow the Soldier to heal significant amounts of health and keep in combat longer, especially with the Black Box.
  • A Soldier with the Buff Banner can improve the Scout's Scattergun effectiveness, as mini-crits are not affected by damage falloff. This will make both the Scout and Soldier deal good damage at range.
  • This team is weakest in small buildings. The more open areas the map has, the more effective this combination will be, as both players will be able to move quickly.

Leaderboard class pyro.png 파이로

The Pyro and Scout are both excellent and efficient ambushing classes. Due to their strengths at close range, a coordinated ambush can result in killing practically any enemy without too much effort.

  • As the Scout's speed makes him a wonderful distraction, a Scout can run in and make an opponent focus on him as the Pyro takes an alternate route to ambush them while they are turned away.
    • The same can be done in reverse, where the Pyro burns and confuses an opponent as the Scout runs in to finish the job.
  • A Pyro can "mark" an opponent by setting them on fire before the Scout runs in to take them down, as they will either be injured or running to a healthpack.
  • A Pyro can be a lifesaver for a burning Scout, as afterburn can take drain about half of his health. Airblasting can potentially save the Scout from a lengthy respawn time.
  • A Pyro who sets an enemy on fire can be finished off quickly by a Scout with the Sun-on-a-Stick and, combined with Mad Milk, the Pyro can crit using the Neon Annihilator. In addition to the extra damage, the Mad Milk will heal the Pyro for 94 health on a successful hit. This is a potent combination in Medieval mode.
    • Even without this combination, Mad Milk can improve a Pyro's endurance while they burn enemies.
  • A Scout equipped with a Candy Cane can potentially give a steady stream of health to a Pyro carrying the Back Scratcher: the Pyro can light enemies on fire while the Scout provides the finishing blow. Likewise, the Scout's 25% damage vulnerability to explosives can be neutralized by simply airblasting away any explosives.
  • The Pyro can use the Detonator or Scorch Shot to take routes where the Scout can.
  • The Mad Milk pairs especially well with the Phlogistinator. The Mad Milk's healing rate will partially negate the Pyro's vulnerability while they burn opponents for "Mmph" and, when the weapon is charged, the Pyro can not only fill up their whole health capacity in under a second using milked targets, but also destroy any opponents in range.
    • The Backburner operates on the same principles as the Phlogistinator, but with more emphasis on ambushing.
  • The Pyro's afterburn combined with the Scout's bleeding (when equipped with either the Flying Guillotine, Wrap Assassin, Boston Basher, or Three-Rune Blade) turns the team into a damage-over-time powerhouse. Constant hits from the Flare Gun and the Scout's bleed weapons will do significant damage, even at range, where the Scout and Pyro are weak at.
  • As mentioned above, this team combination is exceptionally weak at range. Snipers and Heavies can often ruin any attempts for the Scout or Pyro to move in. This team combo works best when both parties find alternate routes to ambush enemies, or when one provides a distraction for the other.

Leaderboard class demoman.png 데모맨

Another unlikely team up, the Demoman and Scout are complete opposites of each other; the Scout focuses on quick, offensive ambushing, while the Demoman focuses on defense and keeping the enemy at bay from mid-range. However, when combined, they can fill a number of roles together.

  • Because the Scout specializes in distractions and weapon heckling, a lone Scout is able to lead an enemy right into a Sticky trap even from far away.
    • This also allows a Demoman with a sword and shield to charge up to a distracted enemy.
  • As the Demoman excels at medium range and Grenades are hard to land, he can help the Scout deal good damage where his Scattergun would not, while the Scout can run in to clean up any missed Grenade shots with his more accurate Scattergun.
  • Similarly to a Scout and Soldier team, a Demoman can equip the Sticky Jumper and Pain Train to gain the capture rate and speed of a Scout. Combined, they can swiftly capture points together.
  • Mad Milk can offset the -25 health penalty incurred by the Eyelander, giving the Demoman more survivability.
  • Because the Sandman ball can slow enemies for a period of time, a Demoman can place multiple Stickybombs around a slowed enemy before they can get away and detonate them all at once to guarantee an instant kill. Eyelander-wielding Demomen can also get an easy head with this combo, not needing to have to chase down the enemy anymore.
    • The Scout can also use the Force-A-Nature to launch slowed enemies into Stickybomb traps for an easy kill.
  • This team combo works well if both parties make up for each class's range weakness.

Leaderboard class heavy.png 헤비

The Heavy and Scout are complete opposites when it comes to movement speed; the combined force of their weapons, however, is not much of a laughing matter.

  • Because the Scout is good for distracting enemies, leading them into the path of a Heavy will force them to retreat, allowing you to finish them off after the Heavy has inflicted his share of damage.
  • Conversely, the Heavy is a good shock trooper at the front lines, and is enough of a threat that enemies will usually focus on him. The Scout can take advantage by having free reign of the area the Heavy is covering, and can fire easily at distracted enemies.
  • If a Heavy stands in a narrow doorway expecting enemies to come by, the Scout can use his Bonk! Atomic Punch and walk in front of him to act as a human shield. Since enemies cannot shoot through you and the friendly Heavy can, the Heavy's chances of survival greatly increase.
  • The pair can complement each other's healing capabilities through combining the Heavy's Sandvich and the Scout's Mad Milk; the Heavy benefits from the massive healing granted from hitting milked targets with his Minigun, and the Scout will uniquely gain 75 health from the Sandvich instead of 50 health.
    • Mad Milk is especially useful with the Dalokohs Bar or Warrior's Spirit, where the former's +50 health increase will give the Heavy even further augmented survivability, and the latter's max damage vulnerability will be offset by the constant healing.
  • The Heavy's Natascha's slowdown effect combined with the slow effect of a Sandman ball will make enemies practically immobile, giving either of you an easy kill.
    • Even without the Sandman, this will make the Scout's job much easier.
  • Because the Heavy carries huge firepower and very slow speed, this makes him a prime target for Spies to backstab him. A Scout can Spy-check the area by throwing his Mad Milk or attacking teammates.
  • As the Heavy is slow whilst you are fast, it is essential to protect the Heavy or wait for him to move before you approach enemies, especially if both of you are working closely together. Ensure that he survives instant deaths from backstabs or headshots by providing a distraction, while he protects you from being overwhelmed by opponents.

Leaderboard class engineer.png 엔지니어

Scouts, at first, do not seem to be a potential Engineer buddy. However, the Scout's abilities not only make up for what the Engineer lacks, but can also be a vital part of a base.

  • One of the Scout's purposes is to see what is ahead of the team and alert them to it. If a Scout sees an incoming threat, such as a Heavy, Demoman, or Soldier, alert the Engineer as soon as you can so he can prepare better.
    • If it is a weaker class, such as another Scout, it may be best to kill him yourself or let the Sentry Gun kill him.
  • If the Engineer is trying to get to the enemy base to build a Teleporter, the Scout should go in front of him to check for danger. Additionally, if enemies come out of one route while the Engineer wants to build in another route (such as the vents on Turbine), the Scout should distract the enemies so that the Engineer can slip by unnoticed.
  • One of the Sentry Gun's primary counters is a Heavy and Medic pair. Luckily, the Scout can take action to keep the Sentry active.
    • If a Scout has Bonk! equipped, use it to body-block the Heavy's bullets. The Sentry Gun should kill the Heavy before your invincibility wears off.
    • Even if the Heavy is Übered, you can use the Force-A-Nature to knock either him or the Medic off-course, messing up his aim. However, this strategy will not work on a Quick-Fix Übercharge, as it prevents all knockback.
    • If you can hit the Heavy with the Fan of War, all damage he takes will be increased by 35%, including ramp-up damage. This will cause the Heavy to take much more damage than a Medic can heal, dramatically decreasing his survivability.
  • A Scout has much better Spy-checking abilities than the Engineer does. Use this to your advantage.
    • A Scout's Pistol is useful for surveying the area for cloaked Spies. If you stand near a Dispenser while spamming bullets, you gain as much ammunition as the Engineer normally would.
    • A Scout's speed allows him to run into teammates to check for Spies; if you cannot go through a teammate, they are an enemy Spy. Furthermore, if the Spy attacks you on a reflex, he will reveal himself and be gunned down by the Sentry Gun.
    • The Mad Milk will reveal cloaked and disguised enemy Spies. If you think you see a disguised Spy or if he tries to cloak in order to escape, use your Mad Milk in order to track him down.
    • The Scout's bleed mechanic works in the same way as the Mad Milk, while dealing damage over time. Do not be afraid to hit teammates with the Boston Basher if you are not sure they are a Spy; your Engineer's Dispenser will heal you up if you miss.
    • The Holy Mackerel or Unarmed Combat will reveal cloaked Spies in the kill feed when hit. However, they will not reveal disguised Spies or those using the Dead Ringer.
  • Using the Crit-a-Cola while standing next to a Dispenser will offset the self-mark-for-death penalty, allowing you to roast your enemies from afar when coupled with the Shortstop.
  • If you see a fully charged Medic looking to use his Ubercharge with his patient to destroy your Engineer's Sentry Gun, shoot at the Medic to try and force an early Ubercharge from him, or if he has slow reaction times, kill him outright.
  • Overall, you will be a fragile, yet useful Engineer buddy with lots of utility. While you will often be at the front lines preventing enemies from coming close, helping out your Engineer will make his job, and your team's defense, more effective.

Leaderboard class medic.png 메딕

A Scout and Medic can make a great team. The Scout's main job is to protect the Medic at all costs and escort him to other teammates so he can heal them as quickly as possible.

  • Always be sure to Spy-check, as Medics are usually the main killing priority for Spies; alert teammates immediately if you find a possible Spy that is trying to target your Medic.
  • Due to the Scout's low health pool, it is a good idea for a Medic to stay nearby in order to top him off as necessary.
    • Keep in mind that in the order of classes to heal, Scouts are a relatively low priority. If more important teammates (ex. Heavies, Soldiers, Demomen, or another Medic) are injured, heal them first.
  • Do not ask for an Übercharge to be deployed, unless it is an emergency or if the Medic is using the Kritzkrieg or Quick-Fix; if you do, you can easily waste an Übercharge that would have been more beneficial with another teammate.
    • However, do not underestimate a crit-boosted Scout. A full Pistol clip, aimed correctly, deals enough damage to take down any class. Additionally, the Scattergun's critical hits can take down any overhealed target in just 3 hits at close range, even a Heavy. As critical hits do not suffer from damage falloff, this can make you exceptionally powerful even at range.
  • Although it is generally a bad idea to pocket a Scout, it can be viable. Since all Mediguns mirror the patient's speed for the Medic himself, he will be able to keep up with you, while its healing lets you tank damage much more than usual.
    • This works especially well with the Mad Milk, as the health on hit can make the duo very hard to kill.
  • The Vaccinator's resistances can potentially save the Scout and his low health pool from death. The Medic can give a resistance bubble to the Scout before he moves in, such as bullet resistance to tank a Sentry Gun's shots.
  • The Quick-Fix pairs perfectly for the Scout, due to the increased healing working well with the Scout's low health pool.
    • In Control Points, the Scout's speed and evasiveness can allow a Medic and Scout pair to get behind enemy lines in order to back-cap the point. The Scout's firepower and the Medic's rapid healing allows the duo to hold the point until it becomes available to capture.
    • In Capture the Flag, the Medic can ride with the Scout until he reaches the Intelligence room. When the Medic is situated in the enemy base, the Scout can run off without him to capture the flag. The Medic can then wait for teammates to arrive and give them assistance with the next cap.
  • Using the Boston Basher's self-inflicted damage is extremely useful for building an ÜberCharge. If the Scout keeps hurting himself, the Medic will be able to fill his meter in half the time he could if the Scout was at full health.
  • If the Scout uses the Baby Face's Blaster, the Medic will receive speed directly proportional to the Scout's boost bar. When the Scout is at full speed, the Medic will go ludicrously fast, allowing them to get to the front lines much faster. The healing will also allow the Scout to gain boost back safely whenever he gets hurt.
  • This team combination does not work well when you encounter multiple bulkier enemies like the Soldier or Heavy, as the Scout is only strong in one-on-one confrontations. As the Medic will be more beneficial if he heals his entire team instead of just you, ensure that your team can handle themselves before attempting any of these solo tactics.

The Scout and Sniper make up for each other's range weakness. The Scout focuses on close-range combat while the Sniper focuses on long-range combat, allowing the both of you to guard one another.

  • The Scout is a perfect distraction for a Sniper. If he has a line of sight, the Sniper can constantly get free shots with minimal danger at a distance while enemies are distracted by the Scout's close-range shenanigans.
    • The Sniper can also take down distant Sentry Guns so you can run in safely.
  • A Sniper can protect you from other Scouts and Snipers. If trying to capture the Intelligence, a point, or escort the Payload, he can pick off enemies from a distance to keep you safe. You can do the same for the Sniper as well, protecting him from his close-range weakness as he snipes.
  • Snipers who decide to follow you to the front lines with the Huntsman will be vulnerable after each shot. The Scout can distract enemies as the Sniper keeps back, or outright kill enemies who want to come closer to capitalize on the Huntman's slow reload.
  • Jarate will make the Scout's job easier, as he can take down enemies with less shots. Mad Milk can also be a surprisingly good utility for a Sniper, as a fully-charged headshot on a milked target will instantly refill all his health.
  • The Sandman's slow will keep opponents moving minimally, making it much easier for the Sniper to get a headshot or two.
  • The Sniper and Scout can form an adequate Spy checking-team. With the combined force of the Wrap Assassin, Mad Milk or Flying Guillotine, Bushwacka or Tribalman's Shiv, and Jarate, a Spy usually cannot escape.
  • While you may excel at keeping one another safe, you will often not be able to protect both members due to the different ranges your classes work at. This team combination might have to sacrifice one's safety for the benefit of the other, as a Sniper will be easily killed at close range, while a Scout's weapons are helpless at long range.

It is very rare for a Scout to ever team up with a Spy, but it is possible and has potential, due to each classes' tendencies to ambush on command.

  • As usual, the Scout is a perfect distraction for his teammate. Enemies focusing on the Scout will not realize if a Spy sneaks up behind them for a backstab.
    • The Spy can also hang back at a distance as a Scout fights in the front lines. He can then use his health-observing ability to pick off weakened targets with the Revolver, or simply keep firing for headshots with the Ambassador.
  • The Scout can make it look like he's being chased by an "enemy" for a quick distraction. Let the Spy disguise as an enemy and chase the Scout, as he shoots back and retreats. Enemies might move forward to help their "teammate", and the Spy can hang back to get backstabs. It makes it more convincing if the Scout uses the "Help!" command using C+1.
    • The Spy can also disguise as a friendly teammate beside the Scout, and feign death using the Dead Ringer as they approach opponents. The Scout can distract the enemy long enough for the Spy to switch to an enemy disguise, recharge his Dead Ringer, and blend into the opposing team.
  • A Bonk! Atomic Punch distraction combined with the Spy's ability to sap buildings can quickly eliminate an entire sentry nest before reinforcements arrive.
    • The Scout can also use Bonk! to clear a pathway of Stickybombs so the Spy can move in. However, take note that this will result in the Scout absorbing a high amount of damage that will lead to a considerable slowdown after the invulnerability wears off.
    • With proper communication, a Scout with Bonk! and a Spy can clear out a point and capture it.
  • As Spies are constantly Spy-checked, he will frequently be on fire. Equipping Mad Milk to extinguish him will help immensely.
  • Take note of this team combination, as you can be the one that ruins your friendly Spy's espionage. Refrain from running towards him if you meet behind enemy lines, as you may accidentally get him blown up by an unwary opponent.
