The '''Scattergun''' is the default [[Weapons#scoutprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Scout]]. It is a short, double-barreled lever-action {{botignore|shotgun}} with a wooden handle and foregrip.
 
  
Delivering ten pellets per shot with increased [[Damage#Distance and randomness modifier|ramp-up]], this weapon is deadly at close range, requiring only two shots to take down most [[classes]]. A wide cone of fire causes it to become mediocre at medium range and near useless at a distance. This forces players to close in on enemies to effectively deal damage while utilizing the Scout's distinct speed to avoid retaliation.

The base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot and [[ammo|ammunition]] per magazine is equal to that of the [[Shotgun]]. The main difference is the increased positive damage-ramp; 175% compared to 150%. It also has differing reload timings.

This article is about the Scout's primary weapon. For other scatterguns, see Scattergun (disambiguation).
Yeah, come get some, ya frickin' wuss!
The Scout

The Scattergun is the default primary weapon for the Scout. It is a short, double-barreled, lever-action shotgun with a wooden handle and foregrip.

The Scattergun is extremely similar to the Shotgun available to other classes, possessing the same base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot, and ammo capacity. However, the Scattergun has increased damage ramp-up at distances of under 512 Hammer units, allowing it to deal more damage than the Shotgun at close range.

The Scattergun's first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet spread" takes effect. Random bullet spread, enabled in Casual Mode, causes the bullets to spread out in a random pattern. When random bullet spread is disabled, the pellets instead disperse in a fixed three-by-three grid pattern, with two pellets overlapping in the center of the grid.
