Birdscouts: A comprehensive guide about now extinct TF2 Species
By Miomiowski
''Birdscouts!? Whats a birdscout'' - you might say. As a memorial for now long extinct species, I've decided to write a comprehensive
essay on the beaty of the Birdscout - so that the awareness may spread about its existence for future generations. Also i'm making myself a favour of actually doing something rather than being a lazy piece of junk these days! (kill me please)

So, what was a Birdscout?
On March 28th 2018 a change to the Atomizer was introduced where now players were only able to use its third jump ability once the weapon got fully deployed. They also apparently fixed a bug where player's second jump would fail when switching weapons other than Atomizer (wait wh-).
Well yeah whatever, it seemed anyway that these two changes introduced, through means unknown to this day, an exploit where Scouts were able to jump infinitively...

Exploit got patched day later.
How were you able to pull it off?
I made a simple and aesthetic visual guide showing a delicate and pernickety process of Birdscout's creation.


First you would equip mad milk.


And kill yourself when holding it.

Then throw the mad milk and hold the left mouse button
Pick up the mad milk while holding the mouse whole time.

PROPHITE

Keep in mind that you couldn't switch off to other weapons, otherwise state would end.



How could it work?
The reasons still remain shrouded in mystery, but the most thought explanation is TF2's spaghetti code. Programmers not once have said that it becomes pretty difficult at times to add to game's code, due to the change possibly affecting something else ingame.
The ever-forgotten horrors
Now you were able to jump infinitively until you died. Now the birdscout created the plentora of chaos and demolishment on the servers worldwide, terrorizing Pybro flocks and destroying Hoovy nests. I have successfully managed to record the terror below from the hidden cams hidden on Birdscouts theirself. I present the album from action.










Birdscout thrushing onto unexpecting Pyro.







Birdscout hunting for it's fresh victim.











Preying upon the innocent Gibus friendly.
Are they real?



So what could you do then?

Well you could:

  • Fly around to the skybox like a pacifist
  • Flock F2P Snipers
  • Bully Hoovies from their sandviches.
  • Develop Discord bullying group with friends
  • Piss off kids on some rather specific Community servers.
  • i'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ getting unoriginal

So what now?
The Birdscout may live on as the ultimate community shad for years. It's beauty and delicatesy may never be ignored upon, and as such Birdscouts may live on and never be forgotten. Farewell, Flying Scutie, farewell...

There was a community server where someone made birdscouting possible, don't know if it's there anymore.

At least it is still possible in special community servers, but it's dead normally now.
