We're only a day away from the release of the Scout class update for Team Fortress 2. Valve continues their little PR strip tease by releasing a new piece of info about the patch: the third unlockable weapon.

The Force-A-Nature is a double-barred shotgun that Scouts can opt to use instead of their Scattergun. Though it only carries two shells at a time, it's a powerful gun capable of knocking enemies backward with a well-placed shot. Firing the gun in mid-air will also give you an extra boost, which would be quite impressive coupled with the Scout's normal double-jump.

There's a couple other things to check out on the weapon's official page if you've got the time. For one, Valve's now selling a Force-A-Nature t-shirt for $19.99. They've also got a poll where you can vote on the order the three new Scout weapons will be unlocked. You unlock the new class weapons by completing a third, two-thirds, and all of the Achievements so the poll will determine how much effort you'll need to put into unlocking each. The patch is set to be released tomorrow, February 24th so you'd better hurry up and vote now.
