New Scout Hats and Tweaks

As you know, the first classless update came out today. With some juicy content we can all love! First off, King of the Hill is brilliant. It’s like Arena mode, but with respawning in the same round, which was well needed since the Arena maps are very fun, even if you aren’t a fan of Arena Mode. To find out more about the update, just go here.

But for the Scout, he got some changes that were a surprise, and some, not so much as a surprise.

• The Force of Nature

- The enemy knockback now only `works in close range and behaves more like the Pyro’s air blast.
- Enemies cannot be juggled by the FaN’s effect.
- The self-knockback has also changed to respect the firer’s view angle. Looking up while shooting will no longer propel the enemy upwards.
- Knockback is now scaled by damage done.

The Sandman- A Scout will receive 1 point for stunning an enemy and 2 points for a long range stun.
- Stunned players now take 75% of all incoming damage instead of 50%.
- Übercharged players can no longer be stunned.
- Heavies spinning their mini-guns will continue to spin when stunned (whether the left or right mouse button is pressed).
- The minimum distance to stun a target has been reduced.
- The negative attribute has changed from “no double jump” to “-30 max health”.

And the Scout has 2 new hats. But know one knows for sure what they are. Although, on the new Blu menu background, he seems to have a Golf cap on.

Where’s the other hat? Maybe his other hat, isn’t a hat! Day 1 of this update, had a picture of him without a hat.

I hope it is, since he looks damn fine without a hat, but the Golf cap does looks pretty sick on him.
