Valve has fixed a long-standing visual bug with the Scout in Team Fortress 2: The BLU team Scout is now wearing the right-colored pants.
It took 17 years, but Valve has finally fixed the Scout’s pants as part of an update for Team Fortress 2 that rolled out Thursday. The fix has been widely celebrated by the TF2 community, which has quietly suffered with incorrectly colored trousers for years while playing as the BLU Scout.
Team Fortress 2’s cast of characters sport a RED or BLU color scheme. On the RED side, characters’ pants are red, brown, or somewhere in between. On the BLU side, with the exception of the Scout for the past 17 years, characters’ pants are shades of blue or gray. As of Thursday’s update, the BLU side now enjoys a consistent and on-brand blue hue from the waist down.
Valve addressed the momentous fix with minimal fanfare.
