Summary[]
Easter Egg Scouts are Scouts who barely fight, but prefer to keep themselves hidden. Not just from their enemies, but from everyone, as if they were playing a game of Hide-and-seek with the rest of the server. They sit in random, obscure, and sometimes hard-to-reach spots and wait for people to find them and be surprised. Either that, or they wait for their teammates to die so that they can find the Easter Egg Scout in spectator mode and become confused. For players on the enemy team, they will use audio cues to slowly drive them insane.

Primary[]
Easter Egg Scouts usually just use any variation of the stock Scattergun, but when feeling extra mischievous, they will use a pushing weapon such as the Force-a-Nature, and especially the Shortstop. These Scouts tend to hide in dangerous places, and push any curious explorers into obstacles or pits.
Secondary[]
Usually either the Winger (The increased jump height allows them to reach better hiding places) or the Bonk! Atomic Punch (allows them to bypass dangers to have an easier time arriving to a spot they want to hide in).
Melee[]
Easter Egg Scouts tend to either use the Atomizer for the extra jump, or they will use the Sandman to annoy other players.
Taunts[]
It is extremely likely that the Easter Egg Scout will have taunts, especially idle ones.

Behaviour[]
Basic Behaviour[]
When a round starts, the Easter Egg Scout will run off and look for a spot to hide in. Depending on the game mode, they will hide in the area where the least amount of action is happening, but not too far from other players.
They will then sit in their spot and do one of four things (or multiple of them):
- Crouch and observe their surroundings
- Perform an idle taunt, usually one that makes noise, such as The Runner's Rhythm
- Use various voice commands repeatedly, such as "Need a dispenser here"
- (If using the Sandman) Whack the ball of the sandman into the wall/floor over and over, causing an irritating sound
Dangerous Easter Egg Scouts[]
Dangerous Easter Egg Scouts function like normal Easter Egg Scouts, but they will quickly retract their taunts when an enemy approaches to look for them, so that they can quickly take out their primary and kill them by surprise.
