The "Pocketlifter" replaces the bat inside the melee slot with a small brown pocket. With this little pocket and his fast skills, the scout can steal an enemy's unused ammo from their active weapon. The only ammo left for them are inside the gun, so they have to watch carefully after they got robbed by the scout. Robbed enemies can try to shoot the scout, switch to their secondary weapon or they just have to look for new ammo. Weapons like the minigun or the flamethrower will lose 65% of their ammo, because they don't have any ammo for reloading. If such a gun has already less than 35% of the maximum ammo, it won't work. But the Pocketlifter has some disadvantages too. For e.g. you need to get within melee range to make a successful rob. And the second thing is, that you have to give up any melee weapon that can cause damage. So in other words, the "Pocketlifter" gives you more chances to kill someone with your ranged weapons, but less chances on close range.
