First off, scouts are Sneaky CQC only fighters, (except for snipers) lets give an extra 5% damage bonus to shotguns and Side Arms (including nova knives) within 20 meters, and a bonus to sniper damage by about 5% at any range.

That and there current scout bonus as well.

In my own opinion i want the scout suits to be very effective in CQC. I want them to be able to play that hit and run strategy very effectively.

That extra damage boost would be very good for that strategy.


Lets give them 20% more PG and CPU all around.

2 equipment slots.

1 extra slot per suit, most likely an extra low on minnie and an extra high on Gallante

Time for some special scout abilities.

Scouts can be the only suit in the game that shares passive radar with his/her squadmates.

No fall damage at all.

No auto aim when shooting scouts. But only if there profile dampening is at a certain level. I don't know what a good level for that would be.

scouts get a 15 wp bonus if someone they have passively scanned or actively scanned gets killed by a squadmate.

if scouts kill an enemy that never got a sight on them then they get a 20% wp bonus with that kill.

Scouts do 10% more damage by shooting someone in the back.




Some of these seem slightly OP, but when your the weakest suit in the game, you need to put damage out quickly

So you are all for adding another role that a logi can do better than everyone. look up what kind of precision a logi can get to. You now just added a logi passive scanner to the rest of your assault logi squad and you no longer need an active scanner. not to mention while acting as the best scanner in the game and can be the medic, armor repair and drop nanohives for everyone all while using the super range aim assisted AR all in one fitting.

You want us to do our job then give us paint target. so when i see a tank i can tag it like a squad leader then give me WP when it gets blowed up. painted targets should only be visible to squad and only while i have a direct line of sight. again only if i choose to tag the target

I want to be able to give intel on targets to my squad without the use of the lag mic and it be by choice. my passive scan is mine to help keep me alive. active scanner is a lot cheaper and better than my suit and passive scan not to mention has a better chance of being useful if in the hands of someone with more than 249 eHP after all the AR is the new fully auto sniper with aim-assist.

It should still take effort to beat prototype scanner. Just not much for a proto scout. Maybe one basic or enhanced profile damp to beat the normal proto scanner and a complex or two to beat the precision one.

Let me let you in on a little secret. Gal scout has no innate advantage in scanning. they have range but lack precision. without precision range means nothing.

Stop it man... you are depressing me.

IOnly thing I would change with ALL scout suits is a like 5% buff to shields,which comes for a 5% Nerf in armor, which ALSO comes with a 5% speed boost. Also, I agree with the scouts sharing scan vision, and I think every suit should get Scanning Assist WP if a scanned enemy gets killed while lit up.

I'm sure I asked this somewhere before....

Why is this? Doesn't a light / scout suit have an innate lower precision than other suits? So doesn't that mean the bare suit without any other modules fitted will, with the exception of other light suits, see every other suit automatically?

Past few times I've seen N1ck, he's been in a Scout suit.

What is this Heavy doing yammering on about what a Scout should be. The Heavy threads be thattaway! Now git!













Kidding N1ck! But seriously...Kidding. Or am I?

i was playing with the std scout suit to get a feel for them and to see if they needed a buff, i could do pretty good in a std suit in almost anything but it's very hard to do as a scout. I do feel like they need some drastic changes. I know playing 15 or 20 games in a scout suit doesn't make me a master but. Good scouts want changes too.

I salute you for giving it a shot. I've been a scout for 9 months now.

I'm so damn tired of it.

i had a lot of fun moving quick. But i felt like i was just quickly moving to my doom 90% of the time
