Actually, unless you max stealth tank yourself, which you can do just as well with a Proto Assault as you can with a Scout (still with more EHP), high-end Scanners will light you up regardless. Sig radius only matters if you're within 10 - 15m of a target WITHOUT a Scanner.

Good match, Sten! Thanks for sharing.
Kinda fun sneakin' about with that Scanner, right?
Getting the drop on people has been easier this build.

Now we need only work on our execution.

PS: Scouts aren't bad; they are comparatively bad. Which is why sane Scouts run Assault or Logi in PC.

Normally I run cal Assualt

The problem with the scout is what everyone imagined the scout would be.

Everyone foresaw the scout as being a skintight suit that allowed you to infiltrate enemy installations undetected while sneaking up behind unsuspecting foes. People thought you'd be able to fade into the aether of space at the press of a button masking your signature from all methods of sight and detection.

What we really have is a skintight suit that dies when an enemy gazes at it hard enough and can barely fit anything worthy of use.

Scouts are broken.

And why do you think that is the only way a scout is suppose to be? where are you going to be when your broken weapons are fixed? by your defintion you will no longer be scout. If CQC is what you enjoy then power to ya and have fun with it, but this game is not about pigeon holing a suit to one and only one role or style. It's about trying different things to see what works for you.
Personnel I feel that by what an actual scout in RL is, CQC is the last thing you want to do, but I'm not denouncing it because it is what you want to do, have fun with it.


Yes I was excited by the outcome of the match and wanted to share it a bit, and you turn it into a message of hate. Why so bitter? Have you ever shared a good match with anyone else? If so then you are just as guilty as me.

now, now.. scouts need some kind of range, to be fair.

Have him use a pistol

They're not broken. Do you know how many times I have died by a scout with nova knifes and I will never forget that proto minmatar scout with 340 sheild and a AR, he just cut right through me. They're not broken just hard to use.

Just had an awesome match running as a light suit with an active scanner.

Normally I run cal Assualt and all my skills are for the most part in that, but I have a light suit that I like to mess around with lately because I like being sneaky. Now I know that this match isn't typical, but I have never gotten such a high KDR with my Assualt suit and I think this shows the potential of a light suit when played being sneaky and using active scanners.

There is a difference between sharing an being miss leading, an hate?
Well bro we been scouts for a year, an you go make a "beast " title that could undo any work an tests we have put on the forums just because of your stupid title!
Other "MILITIA SCOUTS/AR TOURISTS" come on here posting this crap when your not even a scout, I would never even start on saying anything about a class that I'm not, because when this game started it was about specializing .

So if you haven't specialized in it , don't make a misleading thread then defend it after you already previously renaged the comment.

We've been crapped on for months, an all it takes is someone like you to gain a ton of other AR users to hop the bandwagon an get the DEVS to back off of fixing it an months of our progress is lost.

So congrats you used a op weapon on a fast suit an got a great score, good for you maybe you should be a scout then an dump all your sp in it for months, is it worth leaving your assault suit for , and the rifle?

We play scouts with knives, an shotguns, an melees because it's man mode!
You can you use a rifle in Any shooter so it's boring, dust let's you be different, an id rather be a good scout with a low kdr using the hardest possible play style than be just another idiot with a gun.
I go no gun an get 27 kills, and 3 matches like that beats anything you get with a gun!
28 kills with remotes alone, no other weapons, cuz that's man mode, even my two year old got 4 kills with a faylock, back when it killed just as fast as a AR does now.

Point being, skills mean nothing now, the game changed, an it's because of that dumb gun, an you getting that many kills, sorry to say is the gun, not you.
Unless you always got those scores before 1.4 but I doubt it. Cause personally it wouldn't matter what suit you wore as long as you had a rifle an some speed, so one match with that score doesn't deserve the title, sorry but if you knifed that many people, every scout would praise you an that's the difference .
For now your a tourist, so hopefully I pissed you off enough to get off the fence an you proto a scout an drop that rifle an become the best shot gunner there is, but if not.......... Use ur rifle

Some of the comments in here are just, well, words escape me.

But I will say this:
Are you "vets" saying that because I was originally assault and now play scout almost exclusively that Im any less educated on how to use the scout effectively? You "veteran" guys should go flaunt your egos somewhere else, just because some people choose to put an AR on their light fit doesn't mean theyre any less of a scout enthusiast as you "vet" guys. If I want to run a AR instead of your "proper scout" weapons I will do it, it's a game, I wanna have fun, I dont want to use a shotgun or Nova Knives and so I wont. Deal with it. Just because our KDRs are "cushioned" by our use of "nonscouty" weapons doesnt mean we're not scouting properly.

Inb4 "you AR *insert colourful insult here*" No, im a SMG user (Use it as my primary <3).

On a side note the scout does need some tweaking <3

P.S. Of course not all vet guys are silly, only some are. Love you guys who have their feet firmly on the ground! <3

Ya but I bet he had no equip, sidearm, or grenade an used a CPU chip= broken

I don't see how it's broken, if he wants to play fast and use a weapon he knows he can solo with then let him.
