Team Fortress Classic Hints
How can I fend for myself?
1 of 6: The scout is by nature weak as he must be extremely fast. Therefore sticking up for yourself in a firefight takes practice.
2 of 6: If you are just passing through a battle, drop caltrops near the enemy side to slow them down. Make sure you are constantly moving, though. HWGuys can easily mow you down quickly if you do not avoid their direct line of fire.
3 of 6: While running by, spray the enemy defenses with nails. Any little bit might help your teammates win the battle.
4 of 6: If you are being chased, drop caltrops or toss concussion grenades to enable you to get away.
5 of 6: Otherwise, if you must fight, drop caltrops as you run and circle-strafe around your enemy while spraying him with nails. You may have a fighting chance this way. Be careful not to step on your own caltrops, though.
6 of 6: If you get a chance, choose the quick escape rather than the frag since it is very risky to take on any other player class in a fight.
