Tips for Team fortress 2 scout class

With the request from “counterflow” on the Team Fortress 2, Using your spy disguise comments and the shear number of views I have received from this post. I decided to make another guide on another hard class to play. The scout!! Every time I played the scout I had no clue how to abuse the scouts powers. I mean its the fastest class in the game it can double jump and some people don’t do any thing with it. I was one of these people. Scout is not one of my favorite classes, but I will let you into some secrets that helped me improve my skills playing scout.

First I would like to take a moment to go over the Scout arsenal. Scattergun(cut-off shotty), pistol, and bat. Now the damage factor of these weapons varies much. The scattergun is very poor at long to med distances. Short distance with the scatter gun is really is the only way to do major damage. I would recommend using your pistol for long distances. It is quite accurate. For the bat. Im not a fan of it. It has its uses.

Movement is very important for this class. Bottom line. If you don’t move you die. You can jump up to building and heights others cant. You run very fast. You can change positions in mid air. I mean there are tons of combinations you can do for tactics. The one that produces the most kills is staying behind your enemy. If you can stay behind your enemy they cant shoot you obviously. Use obstacles to your advantage. Dodge a bullet by zipping past a wall.

In this video below I think it shows how to move correctly and fight turrets and heavys.

Now I also should say what classes you should avoid.

PYROS!!!!! Pyros are your worst enemy. Pick fights with medics. I would say killing medics are your second goal. Your first being capturing points fast. Also pick fights with lone engineers, spys, and snipers. Classes I would stay away from: Soldiers, Heavys, and Pyros.

Demo and heavy’s are hard to tell. I think if you stay away from these classes you will do better. If you have to pick a fight. Stay at a range from a Demo and when fighting Heavy’s stay behind them.

ON a final note in the beginning first seconds your primary objective is to take points. Next would be kill sentry’s being built by engy’s ( you can take these with ease), then kill medics. This is what produces the best strategy for your team.
