Just because you can go fast, doesn't mean that you should.

The widely requested sequel to the Engineer videos is out!

I feel like I one-up myself every time I make a new video. This was seriously a monster to make, and the script was written during some seriously stressful moments stuff that's happened to me recently. That said, one of the things that pushed me to finish it was the desire you all showed for this video. I made this video as a labor of love toward all the wonderful TF2, DRG, and OW fans who've enjoyed my videos up this point.

This one's for you :)

    He called scout Jeremy so it wouldn't be: Scout, Tracer, and Scout lol.
  • @Zero_Gravitas
    The only thing worse than a Tracer that knows what they're doing, is a Tracer that knows what they're doing and has the "Too Slow!" voice line on a hotkey.

    "Act fast, think f a s t e r" ~ average scout main
  • @graymug5294
    If you count in the DRG scouts boomstick overclock, that lets him force-of-nature jump, he is probably faster than the other two scouts.
  • @FishDrinkLightGreen
    I know it was done for clarity, but everytime you bring up TF2 Scout as "Jeremy" I can't help but laugh at how silly it sounds
  • @Nativefall
    It’s been a LOOONG time since someone called scout Jeremy
  • @Pudding404
    "A runner who sprints a race may go fast, but a runner who paces themselves will go far." So many people could afford to hear this. It isn't everyday when you watch a youtube video that's as thought-provoking and inspiring as this.
  • @dime.c120
    Sure Scout from TF2 has one of the best stock weapons in the game and Tracer can straight up teleport but.... DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
  • @NonelyTM
    Went in for some funny fast people, came out with the hardest hitting advice I’ve ever heard, damn
  • @dutssz
    A good takeaway from this video is that an "scout" type of character is not a character that "gets there fast", but rather a character that "gets there first". The scout is the first one to see the enemy and as such is the one that can most evaluate the game strategy. Being able to single out the backlines, or stall the point from spawn is a plus, but a "scout" is doing best if they are using their resources to give advantage to the rest of your team through intel, disruption and exploiting opportunities.
  • @zilchthegrate63
    As a Titanfall 2 player, it's interesting to see the correlations between Scout and Ronin. Both have insane DPS, high speed, low heath and a high skill floor while main difference (aside from size) is that Ronin's speed comes from his dashes rather than his base speed. ...I should probably pick up the other TF2 now that I think about it
  • @jasondahfolf4325
    DRG Scout has one other major claim to fame in both his team and amongst the other scouts, his range. He typically has the most accurate primaries in the game which when combined with his speed and tools in his kit, to eliminate high value targets while kiting a swarm
  • @ArtistthiccArttwerks
    I'd like to think the the "Scout" class isn't just about being fast, but being a SCOUT To observe and give information to your team and make the best play
  • @nickr8662
    If I had to add something to the DRG scout, it’s that his weapons and typically the quietest in the field, compared to the constant flow of driller’s flamer and cryo cannon, the gunner’s sheer amount of DAKKA! And engine’s grenade launcher and sentries. With him usually being found in the quieter outer circle of a team, Scout’s weapons seem a little quieter than most. So they’re usually the one tasked with listening, listening through the music, to the low rumbles of the cave life. And reporting if you hear anything like the low rumble of a bulk, the electric charge of a warden, the chirping of stingtails and septic spreaders. You’re the team’s ears, and your flairs provide them with eyes. Although, I will admit it’s a little hard to listen through the killer soundtrack sometimes. It’s amazing to see DRG on lists that were so heavily dominated by TF2 and over watch having competitions against each other. Keep it up man!
  • @iwillslapyou4982
    I like that DRG still has a way to make the scout seem less tanky, despite him having the same health as everyone else. He is not as well equipped for dealing with large groups of enemies. While he does have several weapons to help with that, he has a harder time, and often takes more damage to swarms than the other classes. This is a good way to make him feel more at risk than the others, while also making him no less effective against single targets.

    Damn dude, didn’t expect a life lesson after a video on overwatch, TF2 and DRG
