I know of the Shotgun Scout, but are there any Pistol/Knife Scouts out there ?
seems like a better combo in my opinion...
I'm going to be going 'live' in a few days and was just wondering if I'll be the only one doing that kinda thing |

I'm going to be going 'live' in a few days and was just wondering if I'll be the only one doing that kinda thing I use both. The ScP/NK is really good for 1 vs 1 combat. The shotgun sucks without a complex damage mod unless it's proto so yeah. EDIT: I use complex damage mods for both fits since you will die .1 second slower is you put a complex shield extender instead.

Yeah, but seeing a ScP/NK combo is rare.

True. But if you kill like 11 people in a row, you feel overpowered, but it's just their stupidity and terrible awareness.

I never tried Pistol/Knives but I got dual Pistols. Breach and Assault.(basic ScR pistols with 1 enhanced sidearm dmg mod on the suit). I did alright with. Breach for the target a little further away then when they get closer, since to the Assault for a faster rate pistol. |

SMG > Pistol imho.
More reliable (you don't have to land every shot), cuts well through shields and armor, light fitting, good range.
With a pistol you need to make every shot count, the SMG gives some grace in its large clip (which also makes it more effective at range). The headshot bonus is gimmicky, I wouldn't rely on it too heavily.
I would definitely use it with the knife. The first slashes of the knife will almost certainly take off the shield of any suit, leaving their armor exposed if they're not killed. Also, in the frantic backpedaling and spinning around after surprise-knifing someone, accuracy goes out the window and it'd be more difficult to line up the limited shots of a ScP than the bullet-hose SMG. I do this with my shotgun class. If the first blast doesn't kill them, back peddle/strafe and finish off their armor.

I run a scp nk set up on a regular basis on city maps. Mr. Mustard runs that set up almost exclusively, or at least he used to. It is a deadly combo if you are a good shot with the pistol. |

I use pistol and knife sometimes. CR makes a better choice for me though. |

Mr Musturd is the original ScP + KN scout, the things this man is able to do with these two weapons is awe-inspiring. Nowadays he uses a Basic CR + Ishuk Knives.

I run pistol/knives
But ScP x2 fits are my favourite.
Combo a CAR-9 and a TT-3.......

Musturd is notorious for his ScP/NK combo.
It's a great CQC Combo, but lacks range IMO.

I run Combat Rifle with my knives to pick off people at range plus I'm usually carrying remote explosives. Its good to have options.

I love my pistol. If you can pull headshots you can still be effective up to around 70meters, but sadly its easier to fit a basic combat rifle than a tt3 pistol and there are very few cqc maps |

I ran NK / ScrP combo for the recent NK event. Great fun, relatively effective for stealth approach, but I switched back to my original shotty / ScrP scout fit a few weeks back and my KDR has gone up dramatically. Maybe using the knives helped my situational awareness - I'm doing better with the shotty than I was before running knives for a few weeks.
Overall though, I find NKs relatively hard to use, I find the shotgun is more lenient because you don't have to be in melee range to be effective. Can't beat NK alpha damage though, if you get the drop on your opponent, most of em go down with a charged double swipe. Good times. |
