There are tons of different loadouts for scout for different playstyles, so trying to pick one as "the best" isn't easy.

Here are some examples of different sets for different uses.

Baby Face's Blaster, Pistol and a Strange Festive Holy Mackerel is my current scout loadout.

Yes, i still use the BFB after it's nerf. Still an amazing weapon, i don't see why some are complaining about it when they haven't even tried it out..

I used it b4 the nerf. making it so that you lose speed upon taking damage and 75% lost instead of 25% killed me. I was fine with the 25% taken per air-jump, but DAMAGE?! It would become useless, the rockets are a bit hard for me to dodge in enclosed areas.

The Sandman, while not essential and still risky due to the health penalty, is easily the most commonly seen Scout melee weapon. It's also arguably the best since a class like Scout can do better damage up clouse with his primary, and the Sandman provides a nice support role, but the health penalty is still there.

Best Primary? I'd argue either stock or the FaN, though they're still both very different playstyles, so it's hard to place one of those two over the other.

Best secondary? The Bonk can be nice for escaping from enemies and dealing with a careless Engi, but other than that, I personally feel like the Pistol and Guilitone outclass it. The guilitone works better with the Sandman, but it's useable without it regardless.

Hm. I also have a bit of a problem dodging most rockets so i won't judge you.
Blutsauger medics are basically the cancer of the BFB, btw.

That is fact.

Imagine this: You're playing scoot w/ teh BFB, and running down a corridor. Suddenly, a butsucker medic appears! as you backpedal and shoot, the medic PELTS you with his needles, drinking your blood and speed, and BAM! u r ded.

You should try this cool thing called "dodging".

What are you doing? Backpedaling into him?
And have you forgotten how to shoot?

PvP:

Scattergun
Pistol
Three Rune Blade / Atomizer

MvM:

Early on:

Soda Popper
Mad Milk
Fan o'War

Endgame:

Shortstop
Mad Milk / Crit-a-Cola
Fan o'War

I don't play scout that often in MvM, but usually the best loadout in my opinion is either:

Stock;Mad Milk;Fan o' War

or you can replace the stock primary with the soda popper. The rest is the same. It's all about if you want to replace damage with mauverability. I prefer the Soda Popper.

Mad Milk is used for dousing robots and giants, and the Fan o' War is used to hit Giants the run away and let your teammates wreck it.

Hopefully this works for you!! Have fun in Mvm!!
