Scout

- Flank your enemies! - Double jump across large gaps! - Blast your enemies with your shotgun! In-game description

Scout is the first class listed on the class selection menu, who excels at close-quarters combat. Although he has the lowest health pool alongside Sniper at 150 health, he has the fastest movement speed and is capable of double jumping to weave through cover and anything enemies fire at him.

Tactics
Playing as


 * Scout's biggest advantage over other classes is its high mobility. A good Scout is able to dodge enemy fire and weave through cover before quickly attacking an enemy and knocking them out. Make good use of its double-jumping ability to easily jump over explosives and traps.


 * Due to the nature of scout's primary weapons, its best to focus on a single enemy up-close and target their center of mass to immediately KO them.
 * A change in playstyle might be needed however, if you choose to use the MSBS-PDW.


 * As Scout is a very slippery class, it excels at objective based gamemodes such as CTF and ATK/DFN.
 * Although the nature of it is highly disliked upon by the community, as objective rushing for the sole purpose of objective rushing ruins the fun in these gamemodes. This is due to the fact that a change in playstyle is needed for most classes, where you're forced to either heavily defend the objective or repetitively rush towards it in order to win.

Playing against


 * As scout mostly excels in close-range combat, preparing beforehand could easily prevent them from successfully attacking you.
 * Placing traps such as landmines, tethermines and C4s on an enclosed area could surprise an unaware scout and even kill them.
 * You could also try to keep your range as far as possible from the Scout, just make sure to kill them before they could approach you.

Cosmetics
Scout is the only flapper to have a torso color the same as their skin color. This means that he is the only shirtless class. He wears team-colored pants and a helmet with playing cards on it.

Trivia
In the Strange Edition, Fast Kid mostly takes inspiration from Scout, and their similarities can be seen as both classes could jump more than once and both also have a shotgun.

The community often refers to Scout as one of the most annoying classes due to its nature being a slippery class that jumps around and blasts people.
