Beta Fortress with Scout Love Soaked 8, August

4

So Valve recently had some Beta servers going in the TF2 world, and it appears Valve has shown some love to the Scout, showing-off at least 4 updates with him. Those changes are.

  • As of the moment the Sandman reduces the scout’s health to 95 and returns his double jump. There are planned changes to the stun mechanic, but none have been implemented yet.
  • Force-A-Nature knockback has been adjusted significantly; it now knocks back targets based on damage and distance.
  • Pistol scripts will no longer work. The pistol fires every 0.175 seconds at its maximum rate as opposed to .1 seconds
  • Pistol now fires at the rate of 1 shot per 0.175 seconds while holding down attack button (used to be 0.25 seconds)

    • (Source and More Info Here)

    Good to see they haven’t given up on the Scout or the Force-A-Nature. It’s also good to see that these updates are getting tested more, to help create more balanced, and bug-less features.

    Even though the Sandman has Double-Jump now, I’d still prefer not having a 1 rocket kill me. I love my plain and simple aluminum bat.

    Thanks for these updates, Valve! RIP Pistol Script. You were so young, but your time is up.
