Un de ces rats d'équipage Pirate infesté par le scorbut. Ne le laisser pas cet idiot avec un baril explosif - Il est super rapide!
Aperçut
Because of their low health and armor, these guys aren't famous for fighting fair. Skirmishers rely on speed; the freedom to flee with ease is theirs alone, and with it, the chance to corner a foe at their weakest moment, or surprise them with a sneak attack!
If a situation becomes too hot to handle with the cutlass, give it a shot from a safe distance with your flintlock pistols. Skilled Skirmishers use their speed to their advantage, and cut their enemies down with finesse. For less graceful Skirmishers, there's always the keg: an explosive barrel of black powder that sends enemies flying, and if they survive the fall, leaves them limping.

| Average pirate cutlass. A must-have for any self-respecting Skirmisher. It swings and charges quickly, but not powerfully. This is your main weapon, and once you get the hang of its speed, you'll slice through unsuspecting enemies in no time! Take care though, this weapon is only a one-handed weapon and will be parried easily.
|
The Skirmisher uses black powder flintlock pistols (six of them) but they are slow to reload. The shots may not be very accurate, but they are a quick and effective way to deal moderate damage from short-medium range. The Skirmisher carries no back up ammo initially, so be sure to grab some! Accuracy decreases significantly while moving, so stand still or you'll probably miss shots you need to hit.

The infamous keg: full of gunpowder that explodes when the ignited wick reaches the barrel. When equipped, the Skirmisher takes it from his back and holds it with both hands, greatly reducing his movement speed. Pressing the attack button once ignites the wick, and pressing it a second time tosses the keg (which lightly damages enemies it collides with). Stuns nearby teammates and deals massive damage to enemies, though most of it can be blocked by a shield. It takes 75 seconds to respawn.

| When your special bar is full, press the special button to execute a powerful Lunge. This Lunge will propel you through the air in a straight line at high speed. You can use this to escape prickly situations where you may be unable to simply run away, such as when somebody blocks your escape route. If you're higher or lower than your target, you'll probably hit them less, or even miss them completely.

Trivia
- Skirmisher's signature cutlass juggling can only be seen in first person. The same thing happens with said class in Pirates, Vikings and Knights;
- On earlier versions of the mod, the Skirmisher would spawn holding the flintlock pistol. Sometime after Beta 2.0 it was switched by the class' primary weapon, the cutlass;
- The Skirmisher is notable for having the least amount of model and/or texture updates throughout the mod's history. While almost every character released prior to Beta 2.3 got its textures updated that matched the teams colors, Skirmisher remains almost intact ever since its first render, back in 2005;
- Skirmisher's model is, out of the nine available classes, the one that resembles its GoldSrc counterpart the most, despite the latter having a bulkier, comic look and always carrying a cutlass in his mouth;
- It's also notable that the Skirmisher is the only class with no official concept art (at least outside the development team's archives);
