A Scout: Beginner guide

His motto:"Too. Much. Caffeine."

The fastest class of the nine in the battlefield. He has the ability to double jump to avoid enemy fire and get to hard to reach places. He is well known and almost a signature in the battlefield, you can see a scout on a normal server to capture, carry and  push the objective.

Now lets have a talk on its stock set:
He only have 125 health point, same as the spy, sniper and engineer . But, his speed overrun all enemy. his speed and health combined, produces a chaser/finisher in the battlefield.

He is recommended for player to get up close and personal to score a kill.His scattergun carry 6 shell which is enough to take out all non-healed enemy.

Most professional player don't recommend going straight to the enemy head on from far since his health will quickly be shrug off as fast as his run. Most would recommend closing the distance and using the environment to its fullest such as stair and pathways to sneak up/ finish the enemy when least expected.

His job puts his ability to great use: double jumping. This maybe small but if done in mid-air, this could  make the next move unpredictable for enemy to predict. his quick movement coupled with a powerful weapon puts him an aggressive and guerrilla fighting style.

His pistol is a great tool in the battlefield to quickly finish of distant target or harass target safely in a distance. In a scout duel, the closer you are, the more damage you will take. So a pro tip is to judge the distant to effectively put that pistol or scattergun firing and getting away to safety.

Most professional uses his pistol to keep suppressing fire and in dueling or attacking the enemy in range. They also recommend this to take out a sentry nest from afar as it have less damage fall-off that his scattergun.

This ability is greatly improve as he is armed with a baseball bat. His bat may not seem much as it could also puts you in a greater risk to  go out a bat everyone to death than harassing the enemy with pistol and scattergun. But bat are recommended  you rather stick to the man and beat him to death. His speed and ability is complimented using the bat as he could circle the enemy and jump over more than the enemy could catch up and finish him.

You could say this is a class for the intermediate. But, beginner can use this to understand the map  and learn all the location before grasping the class full potential.
