A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the Scout boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an 133% movement speed make him extremely difficult to track down, and even to kill once he's found. The Scout also carries a Scattergun, which does tremendous damage when very close to an opponent. With such a high move speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes. Becoming a skillful Scout is about learning how to use that measly 125 to its fullest extent: dodging, surfing, and meatshotting away while foes miss by shooting at the air around the scout.

In Sixes

Main Article: Scout (6v6)

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the flank, and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes (Soldier and Demoman). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight while no one is looking at you.

Force-A-Nature

The Force-A-Nature, or FaN, reduces your clip size to 2 shots, but lets you use the knockback from your gun to jump around extremely unpredictably and get to hard-to-reach places faster than with the stock Scattergun.
