The Scout is an Offense Class who specializes in aggressive hit and run, flanking and objective based tactics.
Having the highest speed out of all nine classes as well as the special ability to double jump, allows the Scout to traverse many different environments quickly and easily. This amount of mobility is great for closing in on important kills, dodging enemy fire and escaping unfavorable situations despite his low health.
The Scout is also the only class who has twice the normal capture rate, this allows him to push Payload carts and capture Control Points much more quickly. Outside of those objectives, the Scout’s speed also makes him a great Flag runner in modes such as Capture the Flag and Special Delivery.
Whether it’s taking out the enemy Medic or Civilian, holding down the flank route, or just running away with the flag. The Scout is a multipurpose class that excels at being a constant thorn in the enemy teams’ side.
The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.
Bio
Location of Origin: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Job: Rapid Recovery
Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine."
Special Ability: Double Jump
The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to problem solve with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, so the Scout trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray.

Tips
Main article: Basic Scout Strategy
As a Scout…
- …you can double jump in mid-air to quickly 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.
- …you're an excellent distraction. Catch the attention of dangerous classes like Heavies and Snipers to allow your team to move forward.
- …your scattergun is lethal at point blank range.
- …your pistol is great for picking off enemies at a distance.
- …your bat does less damage than normal melee weapons, but swings much faster.
- …your nail gun is great for holding off enemies that are chasing after you.
