DUST Search - Nobody expects a tanked scout!

So I finally decided to use armor plates and a 3% damage mod(the most underrated module) on a Gallante scout fit.

Surprisingly good. Pair it with a high damage weapon like the TAR or Scrambler Rifle and it is fairly easy to take down enemy suits by sneaking up and shooting them in the head. Also, Nova Knives for snipers, turret gunners, hackers, forge gunners, people waiting for vehicles and for finishing up when you run dry in your gun.

Never new that tanking a scout suit was this viable. And it is better than assault suits for flanking (the main use) because the enemy won't notice you until you have already put 4 shots in the side of their skull. Also makes running away a very viable option.

I'm doing this game like Splinter Cell. I work my way in carefully, gracefully, silently. Playing stealthy is healthy. I rack up 3-4 Knive/melee kills, thenwhen I'm noticed I get out the TAR and grenades; I go loud. Then I ex-fill using parkour.

Heck, I'm getting the same if not BETTER results than with assault suits.

Aztec is pleased Cool

The lols we got and the rages we caused was epic. However our scouts aren't bricked, we sit behind the enemy lines in their back field ninjaing and defending from the shadows their home letters or securing CRU and installations.

You could shield tank a Gallente if you want, just don't expect it to work. The best is two complex armour plates paired with a complex kinetic catalyser and a complex rep. Then fit the weapon of choice. Of course, that's the scout gk.0, so have fun getting there!

You can usually survive the first shot and dodge to cover. It's also good paired with a tac AR for sharpshooter work and as a REAL commando with dual SMG fun. You can still jump around well enough in a light suit. If the pen is mightier than the sword, in a duel I'll let you have the pen! -Steven Wright
Niuvo NECROM0NGERS 732	Posted - 2013.11.07 04:43:00 - [30] - Quote deadly are you a scout? What level? There is something amazing about a tanked combative scout! Shields go up fast! No one can scan you. And hell it's your suit, use it however you want. I would do a pro combo of 2 armor plates and 2 armor reps. easy. You'll survive engagements. and with this, you can succesfully disengage. My main role though is scouting with electronic and biotic mods.
