| − | The '''Scout''' has the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 136% movement speed makes him a challenge to track down and even to kill once he is found. The Scout carries a [[Scattergun]], which deals massive damage to an opponent at close range. With his high movement speed, a Scout has no trouble getting into close-combat with his enemies; his greatest challenge is staying alive long enough to utilize his high damage. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes along with the [[Engineer]], [[Sniper]] and [[Spy]].

| | + | A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the '''Scout''' boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 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. |

| − | 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. A competent Scout must successfully capture points, control the [[Glossary#Flank|flank]], and be able to finish off enemies weakened by power classes ([[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]). He is also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. Scout's most effective tactic is to utilize his high speed to ambush enemy players to kill them before they are able to react. During a mid-fight, at least one Scout should stay alive; losing both of its most mobile players can spell disaster for a team. The Scout should aim to die as little as possible, as a longer living scout has a higher impact. | + | 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 and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the roaming soldier. |
| | | | |
| − | In the standard 6v6 lineup, each team will have 2 Scouts, falling into one of two common roles: the Flank Scout and the Pocket Scout. The Flank Scout is a part of the [[Glossary#Flank|flank]], and often fights alongside the [[Roaming Soldier]]. His main job is to relay information to his team and assist the Roamer. Together, they watch the flank to prevent enemies from attacking the Combo. Should an opportunity present itself, they can attack the enemy Combo and create distractions for their own team to push. The Pocket Scout travels with the Combo, protects his teammates (especially the [[Medic]]), and finishes off enemies weakened by the [[Demoman]] or the Pocket Soldier. One of his main targets is the "bombing soldier" - an enemy Roamer jumping in to kill the Medic. The Pocket Scout is the primary candidate to maincall due to his mobility and high damage.
| + | Some teams like to assign roles to their scouts to keep everyone coordinated. Having a "passive" scout and an "aggressive" scout on the team keeps inexperienced players from getting out of position (either resulting in death from aggression or missed opportunities from passiveness). The "passive" scout's job is roughly to protect the demo and help the medic build uber when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his fellow scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the demo is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive scout is the one that will build the Medic's Übercharge using his Boston Basher. The aggressive scout usually goes for kills and high damage on the flank. If a player is weak he will chase that player down and kill him. The problem with this role-oriented approach is that when a scout is smart enough to know when to be passive and when to be aggressive, it would be more efficient for him to switch roles when it makes sense to switch roles, rather than getting stuck in a mindset that can be very detrimental to his team. Most high-level teams avoid this passive vs aggressive assignment system, but it can help teams that lack the coordination and gamesense. |

| − | Scout's role is far more limited in Highlander, as his movement is significantly restricted by two full-auto high-damage-per-second classes: Heavy and Engineer. As such, Scout is used more often as a utility class, helping the team by being on the flank, capturing points and objectives, and sometimes following up on damage dealt by the combo. He can also be used to harass certain classes, such as Snipers. Scout is often unable to contribute effectively in game modes that force players together (such Payload and Attack/Defend) due to his lack of splash damage, but can be deadly on certain King of the Hill maps with multiple flank routes, which allows him to pick off isolated enemies one by one.

| − | Highlander leagues allow a greater variety of Scout weapons than 6v6 leagues do, which allows for more varied strategies. Scout's role can be enhanced by many of his unlocks: Mad Milk increases his team's survivability during pushes; Bonk! Atomic Punch allows him to distract the enemy team and kite Sentry Gun fire. As long as Scout stays alive and aware, opportunities to flank and ambush will still present themselves.

However, this comes at the cost of a smaller clip size, being slower than normal with zero boost, and boost being lost if Scout double jumps or takes damage. While the movement speed is potentially very strong, it's unreliable as it only takes 25 damage to completely remove all of your Boost. Because of this, the Baby Face's Blaster receives little use. | |

This, combined with the Back Scatter's other always present downsides, makes it an unpopular choice. | |

| − | |description = The '''Force-a-Nature''' has only a two shot clip, but in return does more damage per shot and has the unique property of dealing significant knockback to both enemies and the Scout when fired. The knockback to enemies allows Scout to push people off of points or into an unfavorable position, and the self-knockback allows him to propel himself into the air and reach spots he couldn't without it. However, the knockback can backfire, since it could accidentally push an enemy into a favorable position or push Scout away from where he wants to go. The "FaN"'s high damage output makes it good for quick single-target kills, but its low clip size makes it weak in sustained fights and for general killing. While not used often, some Scouts find it a useful tradeoff from the stock Scattergun. | + | | etf2l_hl_legal = Yes |

| − | |description = The '''Shortstop''' acts like a cross between the Scattergun and Pistol. Compared to the Scattergun, it's more accurate, shoots faster, does more damage per bullet, and reloads all shots at once, at the cost of a long reload, fewer bullets per shot, and the unlisted downside of taking more knockback while deployed. These stats leads the Shortstop to be worse at close range, but better and medium range than Scout's other primaries. Increasing Scout's range is beneficial, but its low damage output turns away many people from using it. The Shortstop also gives scout the ability to shove people back when deployed, but this feature is seen as pretty useless by most people. | + | | description = Bonk info |

| − | |description = The '''Soda Popper''' is similar to the Force-a-Nature with its increased fire rate and two shot clip. However, instead of dealing knockback, it has a much faster reload and allows Scout to charge a Hype meter by doing damage. Once the Hype meter is fully charged, it can be activated to give Scout five double jumps until the meter fully drains and needs to be filled up again. The Soda Popper's excellent movement provided by the Hype meter, combined with its faster reload allowing for damage higher than the stock Scattergun, is why its banned in many competitive formats.

If he normally would have taken damage, he will be slowed for 5 seconds after the buff wears off. The more damage Scout "dodges," the slower he will become when the buff ends. Bonk! is mainly used to help Scout either flank the enemy team, get through a choke, or escape a situation where Scout would have normally died. This third reason is why this item is sometimes banned, as some people view this ability to "escape death" as unfit for a competitive game. Its downside of slowing down the Scout after wearing off is also bugged and can be fully negated by mashing both strafe keys. | |

| − | |description = The '''Sandman''' allows to launch a baseball at enemies. This baseball does very low damage but applies a slowdown debuff to anyone hit, along with dealing slightly more damage to target hit from far away. However, the slowdown debuff is bugged and can be completely negated by mashing both strafe keys, making it a worse version of the Wrap Assassin's bauble. On top of that, the Sandman also lowers Scout's health a dangerous amount, allowing him to get one-shot by directly hit rockets and close stickybombs. The near-useless baseball combined with the detrimental health penalty makes the Sandman a poor choice. | + | | description = The '''Wrap Assassin''' functions like a hybrid between the Boston Basher and the Sandman; it launches a projectile that causes bleed on hit. However, it has a very low base damage of only 11, and with very limited applications it does not see widespread competitive use. |

| − | |description = The '''Sun-on-a-Stick''' gives Scout resistance to fire damage while deployed and does more damage to enemies who are on fire. While the extra damage isn't very helpful, taking less fire damage can sometimes be useful, although it's a bit niche as Pyro isn't always run.

| − | |description = The '''Wrap Assassin''' allows Scout to launch a glass ball. The damage this will deal is actually random, but it will usually be a decent amount. The bauble will shatter on impact, having a small splash radius and causing enemies directly hit to bleed. It can potentially be used to hit one of Demoman's projectiles and deflect it, but this is extremely hard to do. As for the actual melee, it is given a major damage penalty to compensate, but doesn't matter to most players. While most Scout's choose the Boston Basher, the Wrap Assassin is a solid option which can be used to harass enemies from a safe distance.
