Some how only my Nades/RE's get me kills as a scout

ive been getting dunks all day long man * jump swoosh headshot *

I cant squeeze any good out of mine, but i did fight this guy called Lightning xVx today and he was an absolute beast with his, my bulets where bouncing right off him and he pretty much 1 shot killed my entire squad multiple times in a row in the city.

Being a non shotgun/scrambler/AR user, scouts are super hard mode. Im usually running round to the rear objective or flanking the attack but the moment anyone looks at me Im dead.

So you are saying that in order for a class or even more specifically a fit to be considered beast it needs to rank first every time? I would classify that as God like, a beast is still mortal.

Edit: I would classify that as Boss, it doesn't take a perfect game to rank first. My bad.

No, no.
Godlike would be getting first every time with no deaths.
Beast is getting first everytime, deaths acceptable.
If you're getting 2nd and 3rd place as well, you might be 'Going hard' or 'Killing it' but you definitely aren't beast.

Boss has less to do with kills/deaths/WPs and more to do with succeeding in an unlikely situation.

I rank in the top 3 almost every match now with a dinky little Dragonfly suit. Anyone else having success with their scouts? I would love to see some positivity from "The Forgotten Ones".

You have been getting lucky with the matchmaking thats all. A scout doesnt last 0.8 seconds vs my laser and i pack a powerful active scan,which most scouts cant avoid.

Not to mention,active scans are really common now....

Unless you are using a proto focused scanner I won't show up but your laser is only effective inside of my active scan range. Luckily for me I have been getting lucky matchmaking

Im not calling you bad or anything. Dont misunderstand me.

1- I rely on my eyes to fight, the scanner is mostly for my team mates.
2-My laser would still drop you in a second
3-When i run scout i get open maps,vs 9+ organizeed red dots. Uber massacre. (And my Minnie scout has 400EHP,which is a lot for a scout) This is what i meant with you are getting qued up nicely....

I am having a terrible time as a scout. You gotta hide in dark corners like a little b!tch and pretend that sneaking up on reddots from the back is any indication of your skill or game challenge.

Speed tanking does not exist anymore. Your skill with a gun is meaningless now. But hey you got that 'sneaky assasin' playstyle that's now semi legitimate. Congrats.

For me 1.4 has been hit and miss with my scout. In the games where I am patient, smart and sneaky, I tend to do pretty well... with my best game so far being 8/2 (I'm not great and I'm not ashamed to admit it) without using the auto-aim.

When I start using speed more instead of stealth, and attempting to get a bit more ballsy going after people that's when I typically get hammered.... .I can burn through the suits pretty quickly.

I don't run the active scanner but with a kin/cat and range mod I can do a reasonable amount of hunting with my AR or Shotgun. I think people are still adapting to the build as scouts, many are not used to being this stealthy.....

Scouts aren't hat stealthy once advanced scanner comes to play. To bypass the advanced scanner you would need profile dampening lvl 5 plus a profile dampener or scout lvl 3 at least.

Imho thats a bit too much considering a suit that is build around sealth and speed (where the speed advantage is highly questionable)

When I do my worst is when I'm the only one trying, or I'm facing higher SP opponents.

Once more people start using active scanners scouts die in seconds. They're crazy fragile and are now too slow to properly evade other weapons' tracking speed.
