The Scorpion Tail is available as a [[Forge]] item and appears in certain matchmade [[Big Team Battle]] games. While the weapon reuses the [[Grenflekt Workshop Scrap Cannon|scrap cannon]]'s in-game model, [[Heads-up display|HUD]] icon, and reticule, the Scorpion Tail functions like the [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion]]'s [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|cannon]], even ejecting 90mm shells after firing, albeit firing the cannon at a higher rate of fire.{{Ref/Reuse|hinf}} In matchmaking, the weapon typically carries a total of five rounds, with the HUD's ammo counter displaying "004%" for four rounds in reserve, because it retained the percentage counter used by the scrap cannon and other turrets in the game. The weapon was initially only available during BTB Heavy matches on [[Breaker]] as a replacement for heavy vehicles, because the map was not designed for Scorpions or [[Bolroci Workshop Wraith|Wraiths]], though it later became available on [[Scarr]] when the map was added to potential maps for BTB Heavy.
