Abilities: Scout is extremely fast. After drinking a certain type of Bonk! Atomic Punch, he is able to run fast enough to completely deflect any sort of damage dealt to him, and other types of the drink cause him to simply run really, really fast -- faster than normal, even, and normally he's the fastest class in Team Fortress 2. Being fast allows Scout to obtain secret information about the enemy, which is undoubtedly very, very helpful for his team to capture all of the points. Scout can also double-jump, and being the only class with that ability, can easily get out of harm's way and/or attack enemies before they can even figure out what hit them.

Though, being fast and small has its downfall, in that Scout takes a lot of damage when he is hit. Running away after shooting an enemy with his pistol or smacking them with The Sandman is usually the smartest course of action for the boy to take, since only a few hits cause him to pass out completely and, in the canon of Team Fortress 2, get sent back to the respawn point.
