The Grill Scout is a melee weapon for the Flanker. It is a metal bat with a grill integrated into its barrel.
Upon hitting an enemy, it will inflict them with afterburn for 5 seconds, and deals mini-crit damage when hitting enemy on fire. It also removes any de-buffs from teammates if you hit them, additionally restoring 50 of your health. However, it swings 60% slower.
This allows the Flanker to take on more of a support role, helping teammates stay alive against users using weapons that apply negative status effects such as the Dairy Douser or the Brooklyn Basher, though remember your class is very weak, so only help your team if they are close to you. It can also be used in conjunction with an Arsonist on your team by having them light them on fire and you swooping in to deal mini-crit damage.

Tips[]
- Work with Arsonists on your team in order to maximize the use of this weapon.
- However, enemy Arsonists hard-counter the Grill Scout because they're immune to afterburn, and the 60% firing speed makes sure you can't crit them while they're on "fire" (see last tip for context).
- Don't underestimate its ability to remove de-buffs. You can extinguish any teammates on fire, and get rid of Mad Milk or Lemonade effects to ensure your enemies won't exploit your teammates.
- If you can get at least one hit with this weapon before you die, you can finish off your opponent through afterburn.
- You can actually track down a cloaked Agent by hitting them and looking for the afterburn effect.
- If there are two Arsonists fighting with flamethrowers, hit your teammate. Although Arsonists are immune to afterburn damage, they will still be on fire but not take the afterburn damage. This can be a good way of healing yourself during battles.
- As of the last tip, the same thing can be said for the enemy Arsonist, hitting them with the Grill Scout while on "fire" will give you free mini-crits.
