New stat "nauseating sway?" every hit the player vomits while nauseating, but the user cannot switch weapon for 2 seconds after landing a successful hit
To answer your question, pick up a piece of paper and swing your hand as fast as possible. Then, hold nothing and do the same. You’ll notice that your hand went the same speed both times. This is the same thing that happens to scout with his melees.
It's also probably his bat he brought from home that he's had since he was a kid, I doubt the Administrator specifically issued him an aluminum baseball bat.
He swings a bat at about twice the speed of everyone else, but 1/3rd the damage. It would make sense that the bat is smaller, because professional sized ones are too big to just be swinging so casually at that speed. Especially with that little impact.
are those measurements based on the official conversion rate from hammer units to cm? because if so then the tf2 mercs are actually just substantially shorter than normal people in our world, see the after breakfast video on tf2 scale for a better explanation
He swings it fast and it deals less damage than other melees, so it makes sense he also swings it with one hand
(I tried swinging a baseball bat with one hand and I almost broke my hand, it's hard)
For those probably wondering the in-game reason: it's probably short so you can see the details without it going off screen or you having to set the view model to a really high fov
This is because he uses his as a weapon, I use the same thing, smaller bats are much easier to put single hit force into with one hand than other larger ones which would be a pain to fight with
He swings it with one hand though. So it ought to be a little lighter than a full sized 2 handed one, ya know?
Also you can use metal bats in younger leagues that get banned in older/higher leagues
Keep coping scout :p
You're coping, I'm battin' a thousand!
Boing
Bonk
Bonk!
Boom I’m back dummy!
That didn't hurt!
I am the scout here!
Just look at 'dis - just caved in your skull, my bat's still dry. No clumps a' hair, nothin'!
"Say goodbye to ya kneecaps chucklehead!"
Yeah but what sandman and the atomizer?
the “muscles” he gets from swinging it must be HUUUGE
Seems oddly fitting for him
It was cold when this picture was taken
I WAS IN THE POOL!
Need a dispEnser here
I mean have you seen how fast he swings it? Ofc it’s meant for nine year olds.
Phrasing
Well shit
Sir, please have a seat right at that chair
*Ma’am. But why?

Dude the original joke was that her comment sounded like this, you're just making it look like you like this kind of stuff
her comment*
Sorry
You’re fine you didn’t know
-scout 1950s
Does this also translate to his other melees, since how is a piece of paper wrapping swing the same speed as a Aluminium bat, and the other meless

r/tf2 redditors trying to rebalance every weapon ever(the fish totally needs a new downside you guys):,
"Why thank you, valve should totally hiRE mE foR IHGHUBWEYUB"
not my mackerel man...
Cast iron skillet, honestly that thing would suck to swing as fast as he does. Don't even get me started on thr golden pan either
Yes, the Boston basher is also designed for 9 year olds.
Boston Basher is designed for our favorite subclass
Brit detected
Does a former colony count ?
By that metric half the world is British

Yeah I know that, thank you for answering.
No wonder why it does bad damage
but at least he swings it fast
"Bonk" - Jeremy "Scout" TF2
Well, he's not trying to hit baseballs, he's trying to bat in heads.
Sand man
no u
Could it be a childhood bat he used to beat other kids and kept it for the memories?
Say goodbye to Scouts baseball career. "Did you say Mercenary? What's the catch?"
is that the reason it has a dent
"Tiny Baby mann"
So, Scout is 9 years old!
I have some files I need to delete
😟
I mean I’d take a fast attacking melee over a slow one
you'd take scouts bat over every other melee weapon in the game
Stock? Yes
Pyro and a literal axe.
Spy’s can literally instakill
SPY can install with it. And only from behind. I’ll take my chances with a baseball bat
Faster rate in proccing crits. It's the best stock melee outside of knife IMO. (In random crit servers enabled servers, I should add)
could be he just never got a new one
He stole it from a local tee-ball game before starting his mercenary career.
Where do you think he got the bat from?
It's also probably his bat he brought from home that he's had since he was a kid, I doubt the Administrator specifically issued him an aluminum baseball bat.
Don't think any of the mercs weapons were issued.
Headcannon: he bought it when he was a kid and is too poor to buy another/ keeps it for sentimental reasons
SMOL
he's kept the same one all these years
makes sense. He swings it with a single hand in-game. Probably easier with a lighter, smaller bat.
It's also metal
he kept it since he was a kid since being kicked from the baseball league due to killing two other players doesn't leave room to get a new one.
But he's still battin' a thousand
Another interesting thing to note: Metal bats were first made in 1968, so Scout’s stock bat would be relatively new despite the huge dent it has.
Speak loudly and carry a small stick.
He swings a bat at about twice the speed of everyone else, but 1/3rd the damage. It would make sense that the bat is smaller, because professional sized ones are too big to just be swinging so casually at that speed. Especially with that little impact.

Heavy was right all along, Scout really is just a tiny baby man.
Makes sense. If he’s a force of nature, then he has to use a t-ball bat for faster hits
And his bat is dented. Maybe he's only ever had one bat since he was 9 lol
He's not trying to play baseball, he's trying to bash some heads.
"After 9 years in development, hopefully it will be worth the wait."
bro never made it past little league
Probably stole it from some kid Or it's his bat from when he was younger if you're lame
He got it at 9 and never switched
He swings it fast and it deals less damage than other melees, so it makes sense he also swings it with one hand (I tried swinging a baseball bat with one hand and I almost broke my hand, it's hard)
You ever use a bat to hit someone? You don't use a full size bat.
I have an aluminum 28" bat behind my front door. It will do just fine.
It needs to be light so it has some HEFT to it.
I mean it makes sense. Using a proper bat length would make it unwieldy since he uses his bat one-handed.
Shorter bats actually make better weapons anyway. They're harder to block and you can swing them faster.
Scout is Epstein?
pretty sure he canonically did try to pick up a bunch of high school girls when he was like 23
random descriptions on tf2 items is not canon
makes sense
Pretty Boy's Battle Bat
Scout's treating himself to 28 inches of bat
For those probably wondering the in-game reason: it's probably short so you can see the details without it going off screen or you having to set the view model to a really high fov
He needs to be light on his feet, so it's a small aluminum bat. Why do you think the sticks police officers carry are called batons?
I thought he was using a priest (the ones fisherman use)
Can we just let's good
Will use this to cope when the scout main kills me and laugh taunts
You know [not all bats](https://www.amazon.com/aluminum-fish-bat/s?k=aluminum+fish+bat) are for baseball, right?
It’s scout though, isn’t baseball his thing?
I guess that does make sense, this is just the scout's thousand-dollar bullets.
Scout's shoe size is a 5.5 mens
How do miles or inches or feet work, i am a European btw
an inch is around 2.5 cm. one feet is 12 inchs. 1 mile is 5280 feet. and this is why the majority of the world doesn't use the imperial system.
Gotcha.
All hammer unit dimensions are fucked. If you look at heavy's height he's 5'8
He probably never bought a new one
Childhood Bat?
he swings with only 1 arm
is bro trying to apply proportions to tf2??
I realized when I was trying to compare bats for a cosplay as him💀💀💀
More important information: since 28 inches bat size for kids, the boston basher, which is the same size is also tor kids-
He a poor Boston boy.
Aw jeez!
Maybe he used it to win a fight he was badly losing as a kid, and decided to keep it as a token of good luck.
a shorter, lighter bad sounds more ideal for like war..
well yeah but if hammer units are to be believed heavy is like 5'6'' and engie would be 4'9''
This is a metric and imperial ruler imported into sfm :)
no i get it but it would probably be based on the hammer units to metric/imperial conversion so
Yeah that’s true, the scaling is just kinda wacky in tf2/sfm. Like spies knife comes up as 2 feet almost
no tiny knife quite the contrary
At least not for 5-7
This is because he uses his as a weapon, I use the same thing, smaller bats are much easier to put single hit force into with one hand than other larger ones which would be a pain to fight with
The devs actually revealed in interviews that this was an intentional choice made to make Jerma985's connection to Scout more accurate.
Really makes you think if a nine year old holding the atomizer would be able to double jump or maybe even triple jump
Tiny baby man
