Damage Scout Collection: Complete (sorta)

[Soldier Claus]

EDIT: 26 of 29 missions complete! Plus a "close enough" for Empire Escalation, Desperation, and Mannslaughter.

Below is a list of every mission in the game, complete with a screenshot of the final scoreboard for a successful pub run of that mission. With 3 exceptions, every single one involves a Scout doing the most Robot + Tank damage on the server WHILE acting as the primary money collector. I hope to update the list in the future to finish the last 3 missions and get better screenshots because several involved stat resets and required cross-referencing with pre-reset screenshots.

The purpose of this list is to annoy "meta" worshipers. Isn't that the purpose of everything I do? If such things interest you, I suggest you download the images and maybe try to complete the list yourself. That way you can use it to shut up whiny people.

EDIT: I put it on Reddit. I'm sure that'll go well: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/2oiv71/question_about_mvm_scout/

Interesting. Do you have to be alone when you do it e.i not even a 2man premade? Can you still run mad milk, because lets be fair, your average pub tard can't live without it and do I have to topdamage? Having 1k less damage than top damage is not acceptable?

[Hell-met]

what stops me from going soldier the entire game, then switching to scout on last and taking a screenshot?

[Hacked Exhale]

Honor but you are canadian so you don't have that. Burned.

Two man premade could be acceptable as long as it's nothing more than a good teammate keeping you from failing in a pub full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. No weird strategies like airblasting to drag a wave out and maximize damage, no Scout-pocketing, no personal walking Buff Banner, teammate stopping fighting on easy waves, etc.

Equipping Mad Milk is fine. I would assume things would be easier without Mad Milk, but use whatever weapons you want.

I'm expecting to have to settle for second-highest damage for Empire Escalation, Mannslaughter, and possibly Broken Parts and Desperation. "Close but no cigar" or perhaps a Medic-pocketed highest damage might work for those missions.

How good of a Money Soldier are you? I mean, I'm pretty sure I got through one of the Bigrock missions as Money Soldier having highest damage, but it was still obvious there was no functioning Scout on the team when looking at the money stats. Also, you'd have to make sure not to buy back, or that would show. Faking it would probably be as hard as just doing it for most of the missions.

I don't see what's the point in doing it with bad teams, it'll only allow for more opportunties to farm damage.

I am not asking to cheat, I am saying people might just do that and send their screenshots that way for you to show.

Of course damage farming might happen to an extent, but the point is to show that Damage Scout is viable and often preferred on your average successful MvM server, which usually features bad players. Besides, bad teammates are necessary for the shock value of having HIGHEST damage, not just "high" damage.

After looking at tons of these stupid screenshots, I feel pretty confident in my ability to discern authentic Scout stats. Playing Spy, Medic, Sniper, or Engie would be impossible right off the bat because they all have unique stats that would show up on the scoreboard. Heavy would most likely have inordinately low tank damage outside of Empire. Demo and Solly would have inordinately high kill-to-damage ratios, as well as much higher Support scores on most missions than non-milk non-fan (okay, maybe I SHOULD make rules about the weapons) non-FaN Scout. Pyro would probably be the best bet, but even then it might be hard to consistently put up Scout-like money numbers. And to convince a pub to let you play Money Pyro. Plus, buybacks would be taboo.

Of course, it could still be faked, but I'm not entirely convinced it would be worth the effort. There IS a little bit of trust required.

Some pubs think pryo replace scout

Empire

[Soldier Claus]

Done. Or close enough. I got 26 of 29 missions outright, with a "close enough" for Empire, a "got barely outdamaged by crit pockets and to hell with waiting another week to find a server" for Desperation, and I figured 80k+ on Mannslaughter was good enough.
