Meet the Scout
ScoutVidSplash.png

A fast-talking kid from Boston with a penchant for baseball, the Scout is the fastest of all classes. His speed and ability to double jump will leave slower opponents struggling to keep up. This, coupled with his Scattergun, makes the Scout ideal at hit and run tactics, allowing him to inflict massive close-range damage before dashing away to safety. The Scout can also equip his trusty Sandman to stun opponents with long-range baseballs, sip some of his Bonk! Atomic Punch to make a getaway without taking damage, or drink his Crit-a-Cola to take out unaware opponents in seconds.

The Scout is an ideal choice to complete an objective quickly, as he can capture control points and push carts twice as fast as any other class. His petite stature and swiftness also make him useful at harassing opponents and providing distractions. With the addition of Mad Milk, the Scout now has a larger role and can provide additional support to the team.

The Scout is voiced by Nathan Vetterlein.

Bio

Name: Unknown
Location of origin: Template:W[1]
Job: Rapid Recovery[2]
Motto: "Too. Much. Caffeine."[2]
Emblems: Scout emblem RED.png  Scout emblem BLU.png
Description: The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to problem solve with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, so the Scout trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray.[1]
