You know whats an underrated scout weapon? Fan o' War. Combine that with the Mad Milk, and maybe the Shortstop, and not only are you surprisingly durable but you also support your team very well.

N-Forza · « **Reply #451 on:** July 20, 2012, 07:19:55 AM »

In the time it takes to hit someone with a Fan o War and meatshot them, you could have meatshotted them twice. Doesn't seem all that worth it.

Esoterica · « **Reply #452 on:** July 20, 2012, 08:31:29 AM »

Yeah, there isn't a single situation where the Fan o' War is actually better than just straight-up killing the target yourself. Even with Baby Face's Blaster you're better off doing the dirty work.

Esifex · « **Reply #453 on:** July 20, 2012, 09:09:02 AM »

I've had a couple of situations where the Fan o' War was actually incredibly helpful. I'm not the best marksman with any of the scatterguns, but the Shortstop seems to give me the best success rate. The Fan helps me when I come around the corner and run into a Heavy/Medic pair; even if I don't manage to get away, the Heavy is marked for the rest of my team to drop. Other times it seems a little extraneous just to land the Fan hit on them when yeah you could just meatshot them, so by all means do so. If you're actually, y'know, Scouting, and off on your own away from your team, no one else will benefit from the minicrits so just shotgun them down. If you're defending or at the front line, the Fan o' War is pretty good to take out key targets.

Also aside from the Sandman it's the only Scout melee weapon that I have that's worth a damn

If you can somehow get close and hit em with the FoW though, you can hit em with your scattergun/FaN at the same distance with the same accuracy and kill them with that extra meat shot.

Yeah but I'm bad and I panic a lot and can't aim for shit :ohdear:

I like the wrap assassin and candy cane! They're not bad.
The fish and unarmed combat are also funny.

So I got ALL these crates I want to get rid of for something. For MotK though, I'll give bunches away for mere scrap per bunch (especially those 44's and 45's), because I have NO use for them whatsoever. Who wants em?

I'll be interested, lemme see how much scrap I can make. (Probably a bunch...)

Had a beautiful moment of silent teamwork and understanding with another Scout today. Capped Dustbowl 1-2 ourselves against a two-engie nest; the other Scout ran bonked between the sentries while I killed the first engineer/sentry, then I bonked afterward while he took out the other and we capped afterward, all with zero communication :V

If only I had recorded this game...

Payload. Enemy team had a couple of medics, sollies, demos, and 2 really annoying spies. My team had engies, snipers, spies and pyros. We were getting raped hard.

And so I had to use my worst class: Heavy. (This is a joke--Heavy is my least played class)

Not only did I have a 20+ kill spree and 7 dominations by the end of the round, I killed their medics and effectively stopped their push dead in its tracks. Not to mention I went first place.

I laugh at their spies too, at how much panic I spread throughout them. (I play heavy like I play spy, so I use spy routes.) Nobody from blue team expected a lone heavy to come crashing down the sky and killing them all when they least expected it.

You think that's expensive? You should see the Strange Kritzkrieg :colonveeplusalpha:

1.5 buds for Festive Scattergun beats all of that :colonveeplusalpha:

2 keys for Strange Degreaser is pretty dumb too considering it doesn't even work right.

If you care about kill tracking the Strange Scattergun is far less expensive. Spending that much on a S.F. Scattergun is stupid just because someone has a hardon for das blinkenlights.

That required getting a series #30 crate. Anything in it is worth several times the value of a key, so opening one of those is a no-brainer.

Unless you're obsessed with getting an unusual, just about any other item found in a normal crate is better acquired through trading. Just wait a few weeks after the hype dies down and the price is all but guaranteed to be less than the value of a key, and you can get exactly what you want.
