Home-frickin'-run!
The Scout

Upon taunting with the Sandman or Atomizer equipped, the Scout points to the sky, winds up, and swings the bat, instantly killing any enemy slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in range.

This taunt kill is capable of casting the victim's ragdoll a considerable distance away. Although the entirety of the wind-up is silent, a successful hit will result in the cheers of an invisible crowd. The kill area of the taunt is relatively low, allowing enemies to jump in front of the Scout and avoid death.

As with all kill taunts, this taunt can be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.

  • Performing the taunt while carrying the intelligence causes the Sandman to clip through briefcase.

Trivia

  • The point at which the Scout points to the sky during the taunt is a reference to Template:W.
  • This taunt can be performed in conjunction with Bonk! Atomic Punch. Should the Scout take a drink, and immediately taunt with his Sandman or Atomizer, the taunt will be performed exactly during the period of invincibility. If not done quickly enough, the invulnerability will wear off and leave the player vulnerable to harm.
