Valve has set up a dedicated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamfortress.com\/scoutupdate\/\" target=\"_self\">website<\/a> in celebration of the updates coming to the scout. Every week day leading up to the release, Valve will be announcing a new update.<\/p>\n<p>The first and only (at time of publication) update revealed so far, is &ldquo;The Sandyman&rdquo;, a &#8220;highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the conventional use of a baseball bat as a melee weapon in most first person shooters, &ldquo;The Sandyman&rdquo; will allow players to actually hit baseballs at their opponents. The further the ball flies, the longer the inflicted stun lasts.<\/p>\n<p>When using The Sandyman however, players will not be able to make use of the scouts double jump ability.<\/p>\n<p>Another announcement is due today, and we will update wit the new information as soon as it goes live.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php?t=344\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Team Fortress 2&#8217;s Scout updates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cSandyman\u201d will allow the scout to hit baseballs at their opponents, stunning them temporarily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3533\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
