The '''Hare Trigger''' was a [[Scattergun]] sidegrade that swapped out the [[Scout]]'s double jump for the ability to auto-jump by holding the jump key, at the cost of being significantly less accurate. By moving fast - best achieved by bunny hopping to build up momentum - the weapon's spread could be decreased to make it easier to hit targets.
