The Fan O'War is a promotional weapon for the Scout that occupies the melee slot. It is a large metal Template:W.
This weapon deals 90% less damage than the default bat, making it an inefficient means of killing enemies. However, hitting an opponent with the Fan O'War "marks them for death", denoted by a skull and crossbones icon appearing over the target's head. Upon being marked, the target hears a distinctive sound, and a skull icon appears on their HUD. During this period of 15 seconds, any subsequent hits taken by the target will be mini-crits. Only one player at a time may be marked by this weapon. Upon hitting a new enemy, the status will be transferred from the old target.
Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011 were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

- The Fan O'War clips into the Scout's hand in first person view when wielded.
- Occasionally, two skulls will appear over a target's head.

- The weapon uses the Bat's sounds, despite having unique hit sounds in the game files.
Trivia
- Template:W (軍配) were used by samurai officers in Japan for means of communication with their troops. They are also used by judges in sumo wrestling competitions.
- "Fan O'War" is a reference to Template:W, a British Template:W expression for powerful warships used between the 16th and 19th centuries.
- The hovering skull and crossbones is the same particle effect used by the self damage of the Gloves of Running Urgently and players marked by the Horseless Headless Horsemann.
- The Marked for Death icon that appears on the HUD is based upon the Heavy's skull shown on the "Anatomy of a Heavy Weapons Guy" poster, and the Rasputin Heavy achievement.
- Players who are marked for death that look up will be able to see the death icon above their head.
- The Fan O'War was originally created for the Soldier.[1]
