Force A Nature

hey im new to da forumz lol, anyway i was sayin like i luv FaN rite, and i main scout, but valve just needs to buff it a little bit to make it on even terms with scatergun, i like to use FaN cause i feel more pro when i kill with it, i mean just listen to the sound , and i like the pushbak, but in all honesty it ends up doing like 8 less dmge (not much but still) and u have to reload twice, not in between shots like scattergun can, and it has 4 less bullets, yeah i know alot of ppl talked about this alrdy i think, but an easy solution i think would be to make it do -10% less damage, not -20% because this way, people cant QQ about being one shot by a weapon that doesnt have to crit (like 125 hp classes) yet it will still do more damage in general than scatter gun, the shooting faster thing is cool and all and the triple jump but i only really do well with FaN (ive been playing since original TF and pretty good so im not noob) on arena maps where killing people that fast really matters, if it did -10% dmge than -20% i think it would be better over all, still not one shot a class, make it on even ground with the scattergun and can be used off arena too and be effective, because off arena i use the fAn because as i said, i wanna play it its pretty cool change of weapon, but if i wanted to do better i would use scattergun, although the triple jump is cool for flag running and getting away or to enemies/capture points faster, anyway comment please and if any advice (because i just got my comp bak so i had like maybe a week with FaN so far) on how ppl own with this weapon (besides comments like,"omg run in their face 2 shot") because i dont see much youtube vids besides how to jump with it/where to jump. Comment plz

Good idea.
Welcome to the forums! 
I agree, the FaN needs to be slighty more noob friendly.

thanks, not really noob friendly, just more balanced i mean doing the same amount of damage as Scattergun but having to reload every 2 shots gets annoying lol, besides the 2nd shot doesnt even do 100% damage considering the knockback sends them further away aye

Yeah, it ends up doing less unless you hit 100% of your bullets.

 Umm...

I would say the exact opposite. As it completely destroys any class after it's 2 shots. And for classes that are defenseless when immobilized(pyro, medic, scout), you have no chance against this scout. After the second shot just unload a pistol clip into him, or bat him. I think what you're doing is playing with the FAN wrong. Instead of shooting willy nilly, push him into a wall. Works nearly 100% of the time.

yeah dude mibbok, as i said ive been playin for a little while, but see my comps vid card has been broken for a while and finally fixed it, so after like 6 months i came bak to my fav class scout, like 1 week b4 the update, and since hes mah fav i wanna get good with his new weaps (i luv body blocking bullets for my team with bonk) and sandman is generally rly noob friendly anyway, but i tried the pistol with it last night and yeah it works out, i have a combo on generally harder to kill in 2 shot classes such as soldier (since with heavy i wld prolly knok him bak, shoot, rinse repeat) i usually shoot, jump to him, shoot, so the knockbak will send me further away and unload my pistol on him mid air/when i land, workin pretty good, but im gettin better at it and usually killing them in 2 hits anyway
