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 weakest class, both in regards to weapons and armor. His weapons are built around close combat and are not designed for long-range use. He is also the only class that does not possess one custom and one normal grenade, and instead 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. The only enemy a Scout is suggested to engage is another enemy Scout.
