The real question is, how does Scout flip someone off if he only has four fingers?

He sprouted an extra finger due to contact with deadly radioactive money, You can see it in the second panel.

Does this mean that the money you collected didn't buy improvements, but that the radioactivity was the source of the improvements all along?

No, Mann Co takes the radiation from the money and puts it into their hat machines, making the hats addictive because they're dangerously radioactive. Before, elusive and rare animals that produced radiation provided for the hat business until the rare part turned to extinct. It explains how item sets that include hats are able to give bonuses through positive radiation-caused mutation.

Don't be silly, radio-active money does not have that effect on you.

I've had a third arm my whole life; my parents said it was a gift from above. Yep, just me in my little home there next to the radio-active money manufacturing facility.

Not efficient enough.

1.) Maximize Mad Milk recharge rate and Frying Pan swinging speed.
2.) Bind one of your keys to looping "Need a Dispenser here!"
3.) Wear a Gibus, Pyrovision Goggles, and a Mercenary.
4.) Profit, no ??? required because it's that straight forward.

How not to play scout:
1. Get out soda popper.
2. State that soda popper is gonna kill the waves when questioned on why money is not being collected.
3. Call the soldier who tells you to pick up the money a nigger for complaining about picking up the money.
4. Force the entire team to restructure since you are a useless scout.

This actually happened to me.

I find it lulzy how the description says they 'detect' a Spy backstabbing their teammates and 'detect' a Spy on fire. In other words, they're barely functioning enough to be a human player. Too bad they can't 'detect' the Spy when he's cloaked.
