Force-A-Nature seems to work best against other scouts who are trying to get into close-range with you (i.e. other scouts using their primaries or bats). It’s also nice for it’s disorienting effect. Trying to kill things with it is hard unless they’re stunned or you have your pistol handy to finish them off though.

Bonk energy drink renders you entirely immune like an ubercharge. I took a crit rocket to the face with bonk up and have been melee’d multiple times and have taken no damage. I’ve also shot a few scouts with rockets and gotten the “miss” effect.

Sandman is o.k. and lends the scout to a more defensive/support role. A successful stun on anything in an open area is near instant death if snipers are paying attention. I’ve noticed that everyone seems to charge at stunned targets. You can get quite a few kills as Demoman laying stickies on paths to friendly players who have been stunned.

The spy portion of the update was a bit disappointing for me. I found the backstab slightly harder to use but that might just be me adjusting to not being able to use older techniques. I’ve been facestabbed three times since the update came out.

Disguising as a friendly seems as though it may be bugged. While I haven’t tested it personally in one game on multiple occasions I was able to see an enemy spy’s name when he was disguising as an enemy pyro (I was playing as a soldier).
