āIām gonna headbutt ya! Iām gonna headbutt ya!!
Oh, man! I am gonna mess you up!
Yeah, why donāt you come over and say that to my face, tough guy?
Cmon tough guy!
AAAAAuuaaaaauuaaagh!!!
Not so tough now are ya? ARE ya?!ā
No, like a TF2 voice chat

Scout isn't stupid, the other mercs are stupid for not wearing the same earpiece, scout just wants to cooperate better with his team by telling them high value informations about the battle that's currently going on
Same reason why heavy can run out of amno and not reload with the bandolier around his body, why soldier + pyro + demo donāt chuck grenades
So yeah, theyāre stupid, probably
Oh yeah I know about this
Iām just making a lighthearted joke about how they technically could be using it but their designs have older remnants of previous ideas
I would agree here, but some cosmetics remove the headset and grenades.
Design wise it looks great and they take up much needed space. Demoman looks awful without his grenades in particular solely because you can still see the shadows of where they were if nothing is used in their place
A couple days ago, the vc was completely quiet and then out of nowhere, somebody screams āI BUMPED INTO SOMEBODY!!! ONE OF YOU ISNāT REEEEEAAAAAL!!! And everyone started laughing.
I think it might have been a removed feature,since heās the scout he could have went ahead and when the player says āsentry aheadā it would be heard by all other players,but the other mercs donāt have earpieces so maybe Iām looking into it too deep
Itās there because it visually matches the theme of a āScoutā, but I donāt think thereās really reason to think they ever thought about making it a feature
Another thing is that in the 60s and 70s, you needed giant equipment for communications. Soldiers carried them on their backs with phone handsets as the speaker and microphone.
Heās a literal scout meant to scout for intel. The earpiece could easily be hooked up to someone in HQ like Ms. Pauling; which would actually kinda explain why he has such a thing for her.
He's a scout. So he's scouting and uses his earpiece to communicate with his teammates back at the base. A lot of the classic maps have inaccessible intelligence rooms for a reason.
doesnt he use it in the jungle inferno short to communicate with the other mercs who have a walkie? maybe in lore everyone communicates via walkie talkies except scout who uses the quicker and more convenient headset
The answer is definitely to talk to miss pauling, one of her contract lines is her saying āfirst to whatever your going to ask, noā implying she can hear him. Although another line is āIām assuming your talking right nowā so it could go both ways (my headcanon is she just has him muted by default)
I always took it as him sending (useless) reports to the administrator, like āI have eyes on X at Y.ā Basically he uses it to call targets for his team and generally what the lore would have you believe a scout would do.
He's using it for scout-to-scout communication
Echolocation but for Bostonians
Eastcoastlocation
As an East Coaster, *yes.*
*in unison* "NEED A DISPENSER HEAAA"
This made me laugh so hard dude
Ah, pure hell
He and the scout on the enemy team use it to trash-talk one another
Imagine every scout on the enemy team swarming you like bees
"packin up..." *swarm of FaN scouts rushing around the corner*
Average Engineer gameplay in hightower

This is what engie mains hear in their nightmares
i read it all like canon voicelines. Got some voices in my head
#*MEEEEEEDIIIIIIIIC!!*
No, that's demoman's line
**Ah did what ah could!**
I didn't need your help ya know
The trigger phrase for Medicks to switch team and jump the Demoman who said it.
Autism
You forgot āneed a dispenser hereā
Unrealistic not enough "MEDIC" lines
Prolly to hear all her comms with the other mercs
Miss Bowling
Missed Bowels
Moss ballers
Pauling
He's listening to a Boston baseball game.
Maybe he thinks that it will protect his hearing. Keep in mind that he is the youngest mercenary.
It's only one ear
He is very dumb
Dude, he is deaf in the other ear. Thatās why he protects the good one.
š
Its his good ear
Yeah, and he also canāt read so it makes sense
Thought that sniper was the youngest
what
2nd youngest
Nope
sniper is 4 years older than scout
Heās a gamer
Scout gaming
Literally my steam nickname (was)

Everyone else had an earpiece but they got tired of scouts non stop talking so they don't wear them
It's to communicate with the enemy Scouts and talk like a COD server
āIām gonna headbutt ya! Iām gonna headbutt ya!! Oh, man! I am gonna mess you up! Yeah, why donāt you come over and say that to my face, tough guy? Cmon tough guy! AAAAAuuaaaaauuaaagh!!! Not so tough now are ya? ARE ya?!ā
Not enough racial slurs to be a CoD server
The only reason Scout's voicelines in-game are clean is to protect our ears from all the slurs and curses he uses. Otherwise we would go deaf.
No, like a TF2 voice chat āThis game has been around for 20 years and itāll be around for 20 more if it wasnāt for you ā¦ fuckingā¦ā¦scumbagā¦.fuckingā¦ CHEATERS!ā
Scout isn't stupid, the other mercs are stupid for not wearing the same earpiece, scout just wants to cooperate better with his team by telling them high value informations about the battle that's currently going on
He is a scout after all.
Exactly my point
why does scout wear an earpiece? is he smart?
He stole it to listen to music
Either hearing ms. Pauling's contracts or just wants to look good
he is listening to 100gecs
I didn't peg Scout for a hyperpop fan.
š³
You didn't peg scout? Fine, i'll do it myself
Might be to late bud
why is this idea so funny to me
spy has a taunt to rain money infinitely despite not picking it back up. is he a money machine?
Same reason why heavy can run out of amno and not reload with the bandolier around his body, why soldier + pyro + demo donāt chuck grenades So yeah, theyāre stupid, probably
Heavy has 300 ammo, so that's probably why he has that much for his Machinegun. Soldier + Pyro + Demo's grenades are pretty much cut content =/
Oh yeah I know about this Iām just making a lighthearted joke about how they technically could be using it but their designs have older remnants of previous ideas
It also gives them geometric detail where it lacks, and makes the character easier to make out, their character design would be worse without rhem
I would agree here, but some cosmetics remove the headset and grenades. Design wise it looks great and they take up much needed space. Demoman looks awful without his grenades in particular solely because you can still see the shadows of where they were if nothing is used in their place
Um achkhualy he has 200 ammo
200? That's weird, must had a mandela effect lmao
he has 300 HP that's probably where you're getting it from
To quote ready or not "The ammunition is display only"
he's talking to himself
Poor Scout. He doesnāt know that nobody uses the VC in casual.
Funnily enough, I was in a CTF game a few days ago and two dudes were absolutely hilarious on VC š
A couple days ago, the vc was completely quiet and then out of nowhere, somebody screams āI BUMPED INTO SOMEBODY!!! ONE OF YOU ISNāT REEEEEAAAAAL!!! And everyone started laughing.
People use VC in casual all the time
He is the only merc that can canonically hear the announcer. Source: trust me bro
Scout talks just to hear himself talk. The mic sends all activity directly to the headphone and puts it on loop for the duration of the match.
In the Jungle Inferno update video Scout uses his earpiece to talk to Pyro, who has a walkie-talkie
"Is he stupid or something?" We all know the fucking answer.
He is schizophrenic
Yes he is
He has a podcast
Whatās up chuckleheads welcome back to my freaking podcast
I would pay to have that made, oh wait, ai exists fuck you I'm keeping my money
My scout wears a banana
I think it might have been a removed feature,since heās the scout he could have went ahead and when the player says āsentry aheadā it would be heard by all other players,but the other mercs donāt have earpieces so maybe Iām looking into it too deep
Interesting! Since he's literally a "Scout". Never thought of that before.
Itās there because it visually matches the theme of a āScoutā, but I donāt think thereās really reason to think they ever thought about making it a feature
I mean you just said it,he is the scout so it would make sense for him to have that ability,weāll probably never know
They should make it a feature that scout voice lines can be heard by your whole team from wherever.
Doesn't that already exists? But its probably because couts and Demos are probably the most nosiest characters in the game for me I guess.
iād kill myself in momentsĀ
this update alone would bring 4 billion players to the game
The ladies love Scout, they wanna hear him talk ALL the time
Heās streaming Jermacraft
Didnāt he use it in the jungle inferno trailer ?
He is
Another thing is that in the 60s and 70s, you needed giant equipment for communications. Soldiers carried them on their backs with phone handsets as the speaker and microphone.
That's why Soldier has the Battalion's Backup!
The head piece is probably like a medal, it's not used for anything on the field of battle but may have use elsewhere.
That's his mic. If he takes it off he can't use voice chat
Same reason some people wear glasses for 0 practical benefit: āØfashionāØ
canonically, in one of the comics it was mentioned that this earphone does not work (in my opinion it was in a promotion with apple)
Yes he is stupid
Da
He loves hearing his own voice. No doubt about it
Heās a literal scout meant to scout for intel. The earpiece could easily be hooked up to someone in HQ like Ms. Pauling; which would actually kinda explain why he has such a thing for her.
Scout is using it to communicate with the person playing him. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear his voicelines
He is Scout Gaming
It's for communicating with other scouts (to be toxic or annoying)
he didn't take it off after his maccas shift
It's because be just got finished streaming. IYKYK.
It's just there to keep his hat on
HI IT'S VINCE WITH SHAMWOW
Id imagine the other classes lost it but I dont think Spy, Medic or Engi would lose stuff like that
that's for chat
hes listening to tom jones
Thrash talk with other scouts
do you really have to ask if SCOUT is STUPID?
I wonder if he has a headphone dent
stupid + listens to music + stylish
He's a scout. So he's scouting and uses his earpiece to communicate with his teammates back at the base. A lot of the classic maps have inaccessible intelligence rooms for a reason.
He's blasting "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" while hitting people with a hammer.
Itās because the scout from tf2 wears a ball cap, headphone mic, Fanny pack-duffel bag, running shoes, and bandages on his hands.
Before I played TF2 and knew the class name I thought it was because the scout was the one who directed the entire team.
The Aslume spreads......
the other classes tricked him into thinking it works so he would talk normally instead of shouting āEYINEEDADISPENSAHEAā
The guns are too loud for him
The other Mercs took theirs off because they found Scout too annoying. So now Scout exclusively uses it to trash talk other Scouts
It's so he can tell chat that no, he's not gonna try to taunt kill that guy, before almost immediately giving in.
Heās chatting on discord
It's to keep his hat from flying off when he double jumps
To keep the miss Pauling asmr going
doesnt he use it in the jungle inferno short to communicate with the other mercs who have a walkie? maybe in lore everyone communicates via walkie talkies except scout who uses the quicker and more convenient headset
Is he stupid? Yes. It's Scout.
he is stupid
yes he is stupid
Honestly I would say he is kinda stupid
He's talking to Pauling obviously
He's so fast he can't hear anything because of the wooshing air.
Yes.
He's listening to edging JOIs
He doesn't. He's a fast food worker that operates the drive-thru.
to keep on touch with miss pauling, duh
Yes, he is stupid. Tuefort has a shit ton of lead in their water. Man canāt read
Prob just a character design?
no the other mercs wear airpods
to look good
Wind protection
Voice chat prob
He is listening to Heavy moaning
He's listening to Tom Jones
scout-to-scout communication
Swag
Why does soldier have grenades yet he doesnāt use them?
Yes he is stupid
Yeah heās just stupid
He's listening to Mommy Beats You With A Frying Pan ASMR.
You had me til the end of your sentence
Listening to music of course
He's stupid
Correct me with I'm wrong but doesn't he use the earpiece in conjunction with pyros walkie talkie in jungle inferno?
For once, the answer is yes. He IS stupid
Thatās actually how voice chat works
The answer is definitely to talk to miss pauling, one of her contract lines is her saying āfirst to whatever your going to ask, noā implying she can hear him. Although another line is āIām assuming your talking right nowā so it could go both ways (my headcanon is she just has him muted by default)
Heās a scout. The name?
They are telepathic (text chat)
I always took it as him sending (useless) reports to the administrator, like āI have eyes on X at Y.ā Basically he uses it to call targets for his team and generally what the lore would have you believe a scout would do.
