Information

The Scout is the "twitch" class of Team Fortress 2. He is the fastest of all the classes and has the ability to double-jump. This, coupled with his Scattergun or Force-A-Nature, makes for quick point capture and assault, and can also inflict massive damage if fired at close range. The Scout is traditionally used for objective acquisition, i.e. capturing control points or flags. However, Scouts are particularly good at swift territorial denial and enemy harassment, especially with the stun ability they gain from wielding their trusty Sandman.

The Scout's speed makes him invaluable in making flag runs on CTF maps and he also counts as two people when capturing a control point or when moving a Payload.

Bio

Basic Strategy

Main article: Scout strategy

• Jump again in mid-air to change direction, and avoid enemy fire.

• You capture control points twice as fast as other classes.

• You're most effective when you stay moving and use your speed to your advantage.

• Your Scattergun is lethal at point blank range.

• Your Pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance.
