The Team Fortress 2 Scout recalling his counterpart

The Scout is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. Like his Team Fortress 2 counterpart, the Team Fortress Classic Scout is the fastest and most mobile class but unlike his TF2 counterpart, his role on the team is more of a support class, being almost exclusively designed for capturing flags and completing objectives. His weapons are built around self defense if necessary and are not meant for taking on other players head-on. He is also the only class that does not possess one custom and one normal grenade. Instead, he has two custom grenades.

Basic Strategy

  • Always keep moving.
  • Report enemy activity.
  • Call for assistance when needed.
  • Move in unpredictable patterns.
  • Make use of your special abilities.
  • Do NOT try to deathmatch enemies. It should only be done as a joke or as humiliation, as the Scout's primary function here is to be an expert flag runner. The only enemy a Scout can possibly engage with greater luck of killing is another enemy Scout.

Special Abilities

  • Class Skill: Displays the status of each team's flag on capture the flag maps. Displays the status of each team's gas chamber keys on The Rock.
    • In Quake Team Fortress, the Scout can enable a scanner in which a lightning bolt points towards flags and other players every 2 seconds, at the cost of 2 cells per blip.
