I think that was to me, Consultant.

Does it give any downsides? I mean having the whole set. Or is it just +25 hp? that would kind of break the scout haha.

The disadvantages to the whole set are (as I see them):

1. Only one ranged weapon since milk replaces pistol. This surprisingly has a large impact.
2. Melee weapon that, while hilarious, does far less damage.
3. The Short Stop goes through ammo really fast.

But no, there are no set disadvantages. I suspect that they may change that because people are QQing about the set enough.

The fish does less damage? I'm pretty sure it does the same. At least that's what it feels like. It still seems like a straight buff to me, but... maybe it's not.

It's a straight buff... but the scout needs it. In a low player count game he's fine and very strong, but in 12 v 12 he was fairly useless prior to the update.

Hrmmmm.... you are correct, it does do the same amount of damage.

+1 Playing scout is actually a viable choice in a full pub server now.

I don't think so, as long as you can aim the Scattergun does a lot of damage. On certian maps the scout is bad, like Goldrush and dustbowl, but he's STILL bad on those. I think the Milk should stay the same, the set should give him a little less running speed, and the shortstop should have a longer reload and/or less... hmm... spread, well, more spread. just slightly though. that'd make him useful in pubs while not making him op in comp
