for the first strategy, if two targets are next to each other, kill the one with the hat first.

[@cristianardonmonge836]

Awesome Flame but what if both got hats? and none of those is a gibus

[@rohkeli6367]

Don't use teleporters. Your team's slower and stronger classes have more benefits from them. You can just run.

[@cristianardonmonge836]

Rohkeli depends, for example in dustbowl, you will always should just run due of how short the map is, or the last area of tunder mountain, but with longer mapd such as upward, badlands, etc. you can take it if no one else is gonna use it, and if is lvl 3 you can use it too, cuz the wait for it is 3 seconds (more often than not wait is equal or better than running)

[@LieutenantBeard]

I don't know about that maybe if it's a level 1 teleporter maybe two then you should just run instead but if you're looking at a level 3 teleporter and you should really worry too much because those things take about 6 Seconds recharge if it's a level 3

[@user-ck1ib6zn7b]

@@LieutenantBeard 3 sec

[@vincent-ls9lz]

If its level 3, use it. Its always going to be faster and safer, and unlikely ayone will have to wait. Maybe max 2 seconds if they do. If its level 1 or 2, just switch to engi and upgrade it.

Im a spy main that recently have been trying to get into playing scout, and im suprised as how much similiar both of their play styles are

[@TheActualDP]

wow you're really smart

[@user-25352]

I just watched this video an realised: the same tips can be applied to eyelander demoknight, both pure and hybrid Demoknight is basically a demo who is played like a scout, just with less range and more health. Double jump is replaced with charge, scattergun with trusty sword (Eyelander's feature is scout's speed and even more extra health, if you can kill someone and survive), and if you need more ranged combat you can equip non-boots primary weapon - same as with scout's pistol, as grenades allow to chip down enemy health and even get some kills for hybrid. Perhaps demoknight is somewhat more alighed to teamplay, as with med he can actually tank many enemy attacks, while scout's evasion is better suited for lone wolf style raiding

[@laurelthecat1162]

Damn, I have never thought of demoknight like that

[@AutoSugaR_]

Scout and Demoknight are fast, utility type, close range pick classes (I consider demoknight it’s own class) that specialize in focusing down and picking off alone or injured enemies Yeh, seems about right

[@justanalias5642]

Well one thing a demoman is bad at compared to a scout is being a pocket.

[@boomeronet7888]

"grenades allow to CHIP down enemy health" excuse me dont you mean delete it almost entirely

[@user-25352]

​@@boomeronet7888 there are two levels of chipping actually 1) direct hits, 1 hit on most classes leaves just enough to clear with normal sword swing (or with minicrit after short charge in case of pyro and demo) 2) on-ground explosion that, after foe wasn't hit directly, still hurts. It may be ignored if hit once (and so enemies dont always dodge it), but after few more such small damage instances you may bring enemy into sword death range in both cases, grenades are easily used as way of reducing enemy range without actually killing him - aka "chipping"

[@martv3868]

As a relatively new scout main, I found this very helpful. Thanks mate 👌🏻

[@pixalosh]

Additional tips on fighting other classes : 1 - Scout 50/50 depending on skill, positioning and how much health you both have. The better player will always win. 2 - Soldier This is one of the tricky ones since soldier doesn't have to aim at you because he has splash damage you need to always use your double jumps and figure out their pattern at rocket jumping. 3 - Pyro Pyros can really hurt if theyre close to you so hold that s key and keep shooting. 4 - Demoman Demo is one of the easier classes to pick, his pipes are just almost useless if you can move good and stickies have a startup unlike soldiers rockets. 5 - Heavy Your best call on heavies are when theyre not revved up or just when they have half or lower hp, strafe around them and jump over them change up the pattern you do these things and you can get a kill on a lone heavy 6 - Engineer Engineer is the soft counter to scout, he has the minis the sentry nest and if his team has game sense they will protect his nest and sentries have perfect tracking so you cant rely on your movement, just avoid engineers entirely unless theyre not near one or havent built one, battle engies with good aim can be troublesome so treat them like scouts. 7 - Sniper Fighting snipers heavily depend on the situation and skill, if youre far-medium-far distance your basically toast if they have aiming in medium-close range yeah 95% of the time you will secure that kill. 8 - Medic One of the easiest and hardest classes to pick, most medics are behind their team so you cant just go in and get him you have to play flank and get the kill if they have communication your basically toast if you have low hp. 9 - Spy Easiest class that scout can encounter and fight against but hes not even going to be within his sightline and near him.

[@KooshaKarimi]

I love how I watched this video with practically no hope after a terrible round as Scout, went back after finishing it and got some actual kills. Thanks for this.

[@sandstorm9305]

You and Mr. P are so good at TF2 as a whole and are able to explain every class so well!

[@oshy3385]

11:28 That Demoman though. Didn't have a care in the world about him

[@minmax5]

those 5 snipers on borneo tho... wat

[@voidphoenix2991]

Comrade Bambi no no no one does not simply kill a medic with 6 dmg

[@KashKey-]

I'm glad I understand the mind of a scout, whenever I see one run, I take in the flank routes and think, "Is he low enough to run for a health pack? Could I fight him? How many flank routes are there?" It goes surprisingly well.

[@n3er0o]

Toofty, this tips are really good. But, can you do 10 tips for Heavy because I die a lot when I play as that class.

[@gust8364]

dont fight in long range try to suprice the enemy always protect the support classes if someone is spamming you from a corner back off shake left and right while fighting against a scout always check for flankers (spy scout etc.) dont use medpack if its not necessary if you take a hp pack drop your sandwich you are the tank try to draw fire on you to protect teammates

[@gust8364]

wanna more?

[@ymmoddy3777]

+Bora Kayacan Thanks but I played heavy a lot in past weeks and developed a good gamesense. The problem is still I die a lot cause there is no medic on our team and cause of overextending

[@gust8364]

This was for highlander

[@steven1716]

+Dominic If you see a sniper, spam crouch and uncrouch. As a sniper main, when heavies do that it's harder to get a 450 headshot.

[@madbov7370]

Thanks a lot I started using your tips and became a lot better

[@pogcat6965]

1:22 loved how that sniper saw you and instantly saw death

[@sirknight3180]

Im personally a scout main and i wanna give out a tip to other scouts. If your gonna use a secondary damage output for your secondary slot, use The Pretty Boy’s Pocket Pistol. Its faster fire rate gives it a waaaaay higher dps than stock pistol. And even tho it has only 9 bullets in the clip, its 15% bonus to reload speed negate that. And people say that the health gain thing is useless but to me it isnt. In a fight where your losing and your about to retreat, as your retreating, use the pocket pistol to give out high dps as your run away, and so that you dont die, you get health as you run.

[@tex5124]

You make this look so easy!
