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]].

{{main|Scout (Highlander)}} Scout's role is severely diminished in Highlander, as his movement is significantly limited by full-auto high-damage per second classes, such as the Heavy or the 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. In game modes that force players together, such Payload and Attack/Defend, Scout is often limited in his utility due to his lack of splash damage, but can be deadly on certain King of the Hill maps with multiple flank routes.

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: he could pick a more supportive role, splashing Mad Milk during pushes; he could distract the enemy team and kite Sentry Gun fire with Bonk! Atomic Punch. As long as Scout stays alive and aware, opportunities to flank, and ambush still will present themselves.

|description = The '''Baby Face's Blaster''' gives Scout the ability to charge a Boost Meter by dealing damage which greatly increases his movement speed. 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.
+
|description = The '''Baby Face's Blaster''' is arguably the worst Scout primary for competitive play. It allows the Scout to build a "Boost" meter by dealing damage. At high Boost levels, he moves much faster, but this advantage is offset by his reduced clip size. At low Boost, he moves significantly slower than with the stock Scattergun. Taking damage or double jumping lowers Boost, forcing the Scout to play extremely passively in order to utilize the weapon's only benefit. As Scout's main responsibility is to flank and ambush the enemy team with his high mobility, this weapon often hampers his effectiveness rather than enhancing it.

|description = The '''Back Scatter''' allows Scout to deal Mini-Crit damage if he shoots enemies in their backs at the cost of a smaller clip size and less accurate shots. While these Mini-Crits can do massive amounts of damage, getting behind people is harder said than done since it isn't something Scout can easily control. This, combined with the Back Scatter's other always present downsides, makes it an unpopular choice.
+
|description = The '''Back Scatter''' is rarely used in competitive play; increased damage from behind seldom outweighs its weaknesses: decreased clip size and reduced accuracy. When used correctly, the Back Scatter can kill any light class in one hit, but this advantage is usually more useful against other flank classes; the enemy Pocket Scout is usually overhealed, allowing him to survive a mini-crit.

|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.
+
|description = The '''Force-A-Nature''' (often abbreviated to '''FaN''') is most often seen in [[Highlander]], where Scout's damage output is less vital. The weapon's unique knockback ability can allow for more effective positioning, allowing the Scout to jump to higher places or push away enemies; but ultimately the weapon remains rarely-used thanks to its inconsistent damage: its small clip size and knockback prevent him from effectively following up on an ambush.

|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 = The '''Shortstop''' has 4 shots per clip and has tighter weapon spread making it more accurate at long range. It reloads all four shots at once, similar to the Pistol. It also has a nearly-useless melee-ranged knockback ability. While the Shortstop fires twice as fast as the default Scattergun, it takes thrice the time to reload. However, the weapon's biggest downfall is in its reduced damage; it only fires four pellets per shot, significantly reducing Scout's firepower at close range.

|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.
+
|description = The '''Soda Popper''' is similar to the Force-a-Nature with an increased fire rate and two shot clip, but deals no extra knockback and reloads faster. Upon activating its 'Hype' mechanic, it grants five double jumps, allowing Scout to dodge attacks much more easily. Its stellar damage and great evasion boost make a good Scout extremely difficult to fight against; as such, it is banned in many competitive leagues.

|description = The '''Bonk! Atomic Punch''' makes Scout invulnerable for 8 seconds after he drinks it, similar to an Übercharge. However, Scout cannot attack during this time. 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 = '''Bonk! Atomic Punch''' is a Scout secondary that allows the user to go into an invincible state for 8 seconds, similar to an Übercharge. However, Scout cannot attack while invincible. After the buff's effects end he is slowed for 5 seconds. The more damage Scout "dodges" while under the buff, the slower he will become when the buff ends. Bonk! Atomic Punch is most often used in Highlander (9v9) to get behind the enemy team, even when there are no flank routes available. Bonk! can also be used to distract the enemy team and give the other members of a team an opening to push or get an advantage. One of its most common uses is to kite a Sentry Gun's fire, hopefully allowing the rest of the team to destroy it.

|description = The '''Crit-a-Cola''' allows Scout to deal mini-crits for 8 seconds. However, he is Marked for Death for 5 seconds after each attack while under the effects, allowing enemies to do the same damage to him as he can to them. Since competitive formats usually feature fewer enemies to be shot by than in standard 12v12 games, the Marked for Death doesn't matter as much. This is why the Crit-a-Cola is banned in virtually every competitive game.
+
|description = When used, '''Crit-a-Cola''' allows Scout to deal mini-crits for 8 seconds. However, he is marked for death for 5 seconds after each attack while under the effects, causing him to take mini-crits as well. In order to utilize this weapon to its fullest potential, Scout must be able to fire accurate shots while dodging enemy fire.

|description = The '''Flying Guillotine''' is a cleaver which can be thrown to hit enemies from afar. The cleaver will inflict bleed damage on top of its base damage, and has the bonus of recharging faster if an enemy is hit from very far away. While hard to hit people with, the Flying Guillotine not only increases Scout's effective range, but is has a very fast recharge and does very good damage. These factors are why it is often banned.
+
|description = The '''Flying Guillotine''' is a meat cleaver that when thrown at the enemy does around ~50 damage, and then continues to damage through bleed for 5 seconds. If thrown from a far enough distance it will increase the recharge by 1.5 seconds. It takes about 6 seconds to recharge. This weapon is seldom used in competitive play, as it deals mediocre damage and is easily dodged at mid to long-range. Consider using other secondaries.

|description = The '''Mad Milk''' is a jar of 'milk' that can be thrown at enemies similar to Jarate. When it hits the ground or a player, it will explode and cover everyone in 'milk' within its splash radius. Anyone who shoots a player covered in 'milk' will heal 60% of the damage they dealt. Additionally, Scout can extinguish Afterburn on himself or any of his teammates if they are within the splash radius; doing this will even make it recharge faster. The Mad Milk is banned for being too strong of a buff for how spammable and easy to use it is, as it offers very high healing potential along with a very fast recharge and a very generous splash radius.
+
|description = '''Mad Milk''' is a Scout secondary that allows 60% of damage done to enemies covered in it to be restored to the attacking player's health. It is often be used in Highlander, where Scout's damage output is less vital. Thanks to its area-of-effect nature, it is most powerful on KOTH and Attack/Defense maps; players are forced to group together, allowing Scout to debuff multiple enemies at once. In a pinch, Mad Milk can also be used to extinguish teammates, simultaneously restoring the Milk meter by 20%.

|description = The '''Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol''' is a pistol that will heal the Scout for every shot he lands on an enemy with it. It also has a faster rate of fire than the stock Pistol, but at the cost of a smaller clip.

|description = The '''Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol''' is a Scout pistol. It fires +15% faster, and heals Scout by 3 health per hit. This comes at a cost of 25% less clip, giving him only 9 shots before he must reload. It is most useful when retreating, as the minor health regeneration it grants helps to offset some of the damage Scout takes. While its increased firing speed allows Scout to finish off weakened enemies faster, the stock Pistol is usually a more reliable Secondary.

|description = The '''Fan O'War''' does 75% less damage than the default Bat, amounting to a paltry 9 points. However, it will mark an enemy for death, causing them to take mini-crits for the next fifteen seconds. However, if Scout hits another enemy, the "marked-for-death" effect will be transferred away from the first enemy to the one he just attacked. The weapon itself will crit whenever it should normally mini-crit, dealing 27 damage. Using this weapon is a gamble; Scout must get within melee range of an enemy to deal scratch damage, then retreat and use his other weapons to kill him, or hope his team kills the marked player. Marked players will often retreat, reducing the effectiveness of the debuff.
