Scout Update TF2

[oromis]

So i hurd there was a scout update coming out soon.

We're just about done with the Scout pack, and our design and coding has already moved on to the next pack. The weapons and achievements are all nailed down, and we just have to finish up the final artwork on them. We like to do the final art as late as possible to ensure that we don't waste any work, which turned out to be a good decision this time around due to the large number of unlockables we tried out as alternatives to the Scattergun. Balancing his replacement weapon has been very tricky due to large threat difference of the Scout between skilled and non-skilled hands. More on that soon.

In the meantime, here's a few answers to some questions we get regularly:

Btw Natasha has a bug, but now she is feeling a little better. The medic will be in with the antidote by tomorrow they say.

anyways... I wonder what kind of new stuff the scout will get :o

Discussss and guess?

An Auto Shotgun, and a Desert Eagle. 

Realistically, a wooden bat that hits faster but has less damage would be probable.

Old news is loving old.

They said something about a super shotgun in the russian news thingy.

[General Nick]

Fleh, no one uses a scout except in ctf and early control points.

[Masterlegodude]

Great, just what i need, more new weapons to get ._.

I just got the Flare Gun unlocked for the Pyro two months ago, i'm still trying to get the Heavy's stuff and the rest of the Pyro's stuff, i'm working on the Medic's achievements too, but i'm more focused on the Pyro and the Heavy right now

Achievement servers ftw.

[oromis]

[General Nick]

I am one achievement away from first heavy milestone, I already have first two pyro milestones and medic one I'm no where near.

I'm ALWAYS a scout.

Omega has all pyro and Heavy and is trying to get medic.

Scout just has crappy weapons.
The scattergun sucks farther than 2 feet away, the pistol is weak but is actually accurate, and the bat is melee.

[n0cturni]

He's so fast though, that 2 feet can become instant.

I've actually gotten a lot of 10ft kills with the scattergun, though. The trick is to focus the blast to the very middle of the body so more pellets hit.

I've found that the scattergun is mad efficient for running across a few enemies, getting one or two shots off before they realized what just happened and running away. If your target is low on health, it's a great strategy. Especially if you're using it on people retreating from the front line, looking for health.

Bat unlock: Wooden bat, no side effects other than making the scout talk 2x as fast. Also speeds up taunts.
