The Scout is one of the five playable dwarves of Deep Rock Galactic and one of the 9 playable classes in Team Fortress 2.

As announced in the 2024 Pride Seasonal Events, Scout is nonbinary and goes by they/them pronouns. Scout is the only one of the Dwarves who is not cisgender.

Their primary weapon set consists of the Scattergun, the Pistol and the Bat while their secondaries consist of the Subata 120, the Experimental Plasma Charger and the Colette Wave Cooker. They have the Reinforced Power Drills, the Satchel Charge and the "Mole" Armor Rig as their equipment and the Impact Axe, the High Explosive Grenade, the Neurotoxin Grenade and the Springloaded Ripper as their throwables.


About[]

As the Scout, you'll be equipped with a set of TITANIUM POWERDRILLS. Your job is to clear any blocked tunnels and obstacles in the path of your team, and in combat you are also a force to be reckoned with: Your drills make short work of most enemies up close, and for longer range engagements you are equipped with a heavy duty FLAMETHROWER.
— Class Description


The Scout can create stairways, pathways and clear obstacles for the team using their Reinforced Power Drills. While excellent at digging through terrain, the Reinforced Power Drills are able to mine minerals such as Gold and Nitra.

They are equipped to control large hordes of enemies using any of their primary weapons, which will incinerate, freeze, or melt their foes at close range. They also have a dependable Subata 120, Experimental Plasma Charger, or Colette Wave Cooker for longer range combat, as well as a destructive Satchel Charge for clearing rocks, bugs, or scouts.

The Scout also comes equipped with mini Biden Bots that periodically perform Biden Blasts, perfect for countering Glyphid Trumps.

The Scout has four throwables to pick from: the Impact Axe which is tossed and deals impact damage to enemies, the High Explosive Grenade which functions as a standard frag, the Neurotoxin Grenade which detonates in a cloud of toxic (and highly volatile) gas that explodes if ignited, and the Springloaded Ripper which, when tossed, will go in a straight line damaging enemies and looping on terrain if it forms a loop.

The Scout can choose from four different types of grenades: The Inhibitor-Field Generator (IFG) which slows enemies down and increases their damage taken, the Cryo Grenade which applies freeze and can potentially freeze most enemies instantly, the Pheromone Canister which covers enemies in pheromones, turning them into targets for other enemies to attack, and the Voltaic Stun Sweeper which attacks enemies up to 9 times, stunning them and applying electrocution.

Equipment[]

All classes have twelve pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using Credit Credits and crafting resources. There are currently four unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has its own assignment. Once a weapon assignment has been completed, that weapon can then be purchased from the upgrade terminal.

Trivia[]

  • The Scout has the lowest pitched voice of all dwarves.
  • The Scout is believed to be heavily inspired by the Demoman from Team Fortress 2, who is also a deep pitched demolitions expert/role/class, who also utilizes axes, and has a knack for mobility in the popular 2007 Valve released class-based FPS game.
  • If you ever see a "Mrs. Bimbles." in your game, they are the original model for scout, when they announced scout was Transgender.
  • Their extreme xenophobia for elves seems to be related to an undisclosed childhood trauma, possibly leaving them an orphan.
