The Penis Scout (also known as the "Quick Dick") is a Subclass in TF2 that is known for having a sleeper style due to its common appearance, and also known to be devastating if used properly. Variations of this include substitutes of using the Baby-Faces Blaster for speed, which will be elaborated on further. The Penis Scout, in action, follows a simple routine: use your Mad Milk to douse the enemies, (taken from the translation of "Blow a Load," a precursor exclaimed prior to the initation of this process) then take either the approach of the Boston Basher or the Back-Scatter. Both resemble phallic objects for extra humiliation for the opponent, and even believed to have garnered this subclass' title. But, if the Penis Scout can execute the maneuver of using both weapons in tandem (Starting with the Boston Basher, preferably,) and eliminate the opponent, this succession is commonly referred to as "fucking over," and shows a capable Penis Scout from a flaccid one. One thing that aligns Penis Scout's alike regardless of skill however is the insistence to "Hit it from the back" and avoid "pulling out" until the opponent is subdued in close-quarters. The Baby Face's Blaster can be substituted if the player has trouble "Hitting it from behind" and more colloquially garnered the alternate "Quick Dick" as a result. Additonally, this playstyle falls under the sleeper catagorey: meant to view skill or prestige under lesser standards. Wearing low-grade clothing commonly impresses the idea of a new player, and is hypothesized give the Penis Scout an advantage. For more info about this unique Subclass, Google "penis scout" to find helpful *tips* and trivia.

I'd argue this subclass perfectly represents how you were made to play scout. Forget scunts. This is how scout was made to play. This was Valve's true intentions from the start. I love penisScout

[@davisdf3064]

This is the next generation of Scunts, the real scout players, this is peak Scout gameplay.

[@JBirdOlliesFan]

the real best subclass is schizophrenia spy: 1. use the cloak and dagger to remain invisible 2. find a stationary target (ex. engineer and sniper on 2fort) 3. stay invisible and switch different disguises rapidly while spamming voicelines so they hear a constant barrage of voices calling them a spy and what not 4. make a video on it because its funny going from having voices to being the voices Edit: you can also occasionally decloak and immediately recloak so if they have ears it scares them. You could maybe do this once youve been going on for a while, almost making it more severe as you go

[@SpookyThermos]

Doing this was the most fun I’ve ever had as Spy

[@de_gree]

[@thefrogthatknows5251]

*As someone who actually plays Penis Scout, I can explain.* It's a Bleed focused build using Mad Milk to give yourself regeneration, allowing for aggressive play style with lesser risk of punishment. Most Penis Scouts use the Wrap Assassin, not the Basher, as it doesn't punish missed shots. The idea is to spam out your Mad Milk, then hit them with the Bleed Projectile from the Wrap Assassin or hit them with the Basher. The damage over time restores your health, effectively giving you a brief regen where you can go for a risky play against your target with the added healing buffer. The use of the Back Scatter is typically intended to punish your target for going for a health pack/retreating, or using their viewpunch from the bleed effect to get behind them while disoriented, and press the advantage with minicrit attacks. Though, it's suboptimal, and usually just done for the "It's cock shaped" meme for Penis Scout. Realistically, you want to be using Babyface or the Shortstop if you aren't going to use stock. Babyface has natural synergy with bleed, as you constantly restore your boost, which allows you to make these hyper-aggressive plays. Shortstop is a safer alternative, as the added range and consistency allows you to keep a safe distance while remaining on the offensive. It's a meme strat, but if you play it right it's good to rattle someone not expecting it, with the extra health combined with the view punch and constant damage indicators, it's great for inducing stress while remaining highly mobile. It's surprisingly effective in pubs.

Can you make a video on the eviction notice? I use the eviction notice notice seriously. With the family business as fat scout, you can get them to low health, then take out the eviction notice for the kill and use the surprisingly long speed boost to either run or chain kills. The speed boost messes with someone's muscle memory and you can confuse them.

try playing with Mad Milk and rushing people with the Boston Basher. The milk counteracts the basher's HP drain, so it's just free bleed. Then, you can get in and start using the back scatter after your first application of Bleed to facetank.

I found a scout loadout back on Tumblr in 2012 which is hatless stock scout with a normal Candy Cane renamed "Buthole" (mispelled on purpose). All you do is struggle to kill anything in melee range and threaten your victims with binds.

[@I_Hate_YouTube.]

I have disvovered a good anti sniper bot weapon: the natascha. The extra resistance lets you survive 2 headshots, wich means more time to kill the bot. I even managed to dominate one this way.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

Just use brass beast because it's objectively better for killing a sniper,

[@I_Hate_YouTube.]

@@calebbarnhouse496 The brass beasts's 50% slower spin up time basically nullifies the resistance bonus. The natascha only has a 30% slower spin up time, and time is important against a bot.

[@HeckenFricken]

art of the subclass 2 is insane

[@Jazztral]

9:55: Here's an idea to make this loadout work: use the boston basher for mobility* via Boston Basher jumps, throw the mad milk where a player is going to be, and pelt them in the back before they know what's going on. if you switch weapons quickly from milk to Backscatter, you can get the drop on anyone from not-too-close distances. Keep in mind you may be alerting players to your position as you take the self-harm damage. Also, if you're out of ammo, milk plus Boston Basher can give you the sustain you need to take down most classes while also allowing for hit-and-run tactics via swinging once and receiving a small heal-over-time from the bleed effect. BUT, this is all in a perfect world. * Swing the BB and time your jump just before you hit yourself. For maximum height, exploit the trick that allows players to jump just a tiny bit higher by crouching just before you jump. IIrc, that has something to do with delaying gravity's effect on the player for 1 frame, resulting in a higher jump. This will become a more noticeable boost when perfectly combined with the BB jump. Edit: I kept watching. Absolute greatness! HAHAHAA

My favorite subclass is, The Dicking Around Heavy ( I just made up the name but have had this loadout for years ) it involves the Buffalo Steak Sandvich the Holiday Punch and the Huo-Long Heater. The Buffalo steak and the holiday Punch are the main weapons with the heater just being there for a different many gun in the loadout. You eat the steak then run around punching people making them laugh then taunting them to death, or just beat them to death if you don't get the opportunity. Best to use on 24 hour 2Fort servers when no one is being serious. It is also viable with some slight changes on death run maps switching out the holiday Punch with the gloves of running urgently then depleting your many gun ammunition by simply revving up the heater so you only have the gloves

[@user-RetardedMonke]
