I never have a suit without at least a K-2 nanohive (unless I am a heavy). On my main I run proto hives because I can carry 4 and have 3 active at once while only taking up one slot.
I am mainly a solo player, and having to rely on the blueberries to give me ammo is way too unpredictable. Most of the time I don't run hives, I end up running around dry-firing my gun in hopes one of the moron blueberries notices and drops a hive. Which is why I try to never run without one. If I was running as an assault and had a squad (real squad, not just squadding up with randoms once in a match) then I would run a active scanner. |

(Squad have it) You mean std or adv? (dont like std one)
I personally use the ADV one that holds scan results for 16 seconds. It's resolution is 36 dB, so unless a scout or medium is running 1-2 complex (or enhanced) dampeners, they will get picked up. And heavies are pretty much screwed even if they are running dampeners. I find that most players don't use dampeners, at least not yet, and the ADV one works great the majority of the time.
Honestly there isn't much reason to go proto scanners, sure the one that holds scan results for 25 seconds is nice, but even with my logi suit I can trump every scanner in the game, except the one that goes down to 15dB, with only 2 enhanced dampeners. So if a player is determined to use dampeners you won't pick them up unless you spec all the way into proto and use the, somewhat useless, 15dB scanner. Really the only time this is needed is when there is a heavily speced scout with proto dampeners.
