the force-a-nature is a weapon that demands precise movement and an aggressive approach. its two-shot magazine forces players to commit, but it makes up for this with high burst damage and a knockback effect that affects both enemies and the scout. by timing shots precisely and correctly, balkerk can launch himself into unexpected angles, reach high ground, or access unusual locations the enemy wouldn't ever expect. the force-a-nature knocks enemies far away from objectives, into hazards, or simply out of position, making it a powerful tool against snipers, medics, and engineers and other classes who rely on controlled positioning. however, the force-a-nature’s limited magazine and long reload time mean that every engagement is a risk. if a target survives the first two shots, balkerk has to quickly decide whether to commit with his secondary weapon or use the knockback to escape. this balance between aggression and retreat is what makes a great force-a-nature user stand out.

while the force-a-nature focuses on mobility and burst damage, the scattergun provides reliability and sustained output. with a six-shot magazine, it allows for extended fights without frequent reload interruptions, making it the go-to choice in team fights and prolonged engagements. balkerk uses the scattergun for mid-range duels where the force-a-nature’s knockback might be unnecessary or disruptive. its tight spread and high damage per shot make it one of the best primary weapons in the game, capable of two-shotting lighter classes and applying steady pressure to bulkier opponents like soldiers and heavies. since there’s no knockback, damage is more consistent. balkerk can subsequently focus purely on tracking and landing his meatshots, without having to worry about the source engine's unexpected jankiness, and consistently deliver kills.

on maps with open spaces and vast hazards, such as ctf_doublecross , balkerk leverages the force-a-nature's mobility to create unexpected opportunities for flanks, fast attacks and funny kills. in more confined maps or when engaging in direct combat, he readies the scattergun for its reliable, consistent damage to secure safe kills. whether he's darting around the map with the force-a-nature or outmaneuvering opponents with the scattergun, balkerk makes sure every fight plays out exactly how he wants it.

and while balkerk only has 4000 and 2000 kills on his fan and scattergun respectively, he still likes to brag about what kind of loser he is with them because that's the kind of person balkerk is. an annoying scunt, forever
