Notes

• Since the Scattergun uses local immunity frames, all pellets can hit and damage a single enemy simultaneously. This results in a total base damage of 60.
• Since 10 pellets are shot from this weapon, the chances of a health kit spawning is increased.

Strategies

• In order to deal consistent damage with the Scattergun, the Scout must be near his target. However, his low health makes it risky to stay at a close range. If he feels overwhelmed, he should flee and strike back when ready.
• The Scattergun is a great weapon to spawn in health kits with as it shoots 10 pellets at a time.
• The Scattergun's single reload style can diminish damage output. Therefore, it's important for the Scout to know when to reload.
  • Fleeing is a great opportunity to reload.
• If the Scout is too far away from his target, he is better of switching to his pistol if he has it in his loadout.

Trivia

• The Scattergun is the first ever item to be added into the Team Fortress 2 mod.
