  • Scouts have a low health pool and will try to stay out of sight. If you spot a Scout, communicate their location to your team.
  • Scouts will attempt to flank their enemies, so be aware of your surroundings.
  • Scouts are fast and excel at dodging projectiles. If your main weapon fails, don't forget that you have others!
  • As Scout, wait until the enemy Scout reloads to start your offense, as they'll be unable to retaliate while doing so.
  • As Soldier, gain the high ground for a strategic advantage. Also, shooting rockets at the Scout’s feet is highly advised, as it can severly limit their mobility.
  • As Heavy and Pyro, Scouts are far from an issue. Your Minigun and Flame Thrower can mow them down in mere seconds.
  • As Demoman, your Shotgun can kill Scouts in three hits, although you can bring this down to two if you aim well.
  • As Sniper, your SMG excels at taking down Scouts.
  • As Medic, don't be reluctant to get into a deathmatch with a Scout. All of your weapons can easily take care of one.
