BONK! TF2's Scout Update Next Week

[WolfLordAndy]

I'll be completing a few heavy achievements first off... looks like release will be either next wed, or next fri.

 

[runedeadthA]

I like the sound of the wooden bat, a nice thunk may be satisfying but a good crack really makes my day. I come to steal your Sandvich, Mr Uber'd Heavy!

 

[Singularly Datarific]

When the Spy update comes out, I'll just go as pyro and hold down the fire button.
What I'm hoping for as a main weapon is a pneumatic decoy cannon to distract sentries for a couple of seconds.

New Weapon just released: The Energy Drink doubles(?) your speed for a bit but then leaves you lethargic afterwards.

Also all the new achievements are named.

Yeah. Good god, we're going to have scouts on crack running around the battlefield.

Something you may not have noticed is that 'nade spam is going to cause less damage at close range as well, slowing the Demo's from making rushes but still giving them medium/long range explosions.

 

[Undeadpope]

oh ho ho Natasha will be SO much fun when the infection hits and engineers too if that energy drink doesn't out run the trusty SG,just like being sniper was with the heavy update.

also,we should all meet up have a big scout dig in for the new achievements on the escapist sever.

 

[Laice]

i'm so very much looking forward to the duck shoot this is going to be.

Except replace the ducks with scouts ^.^

Looks like the energy drink lets scouts dodge bullets though, for a limited time... i.e. Natascha and SG's will be useless while scout is boosted! (See the "miss" signs coming out of the scouts body, like "Critical Hit" signs do when you crit people. And the fact that one of the acheivements appears to be dodging bullets.)

Won't let you dodge flames though.

You can dodge flames for the most part as a scout anyways...
Also, if it imparts a speed boost, chances are even ardent ambusher Pyros will react too late to the scout zipping past.
The lethargy after may be problemtic for the little buggers though >:~)

 

[GothmogII]

So the tradeoff is the pistol?

Yeah that's a bit worrisome...the Sandman doesn't seem all that offensive, and the soda of course appears purely defensive. So...I wonder if they're going to have something with suitable bang to replace the Scat gun...
