I use passive scanning to my advantage. It takes a scout to bypass it enough to hug me. It's like the Active Scanner, but always on. I don't meet many people willing to dampen this build, so I'm making them pay with my passives. It also helps that I keep cover nearby when I do get the off-chance meeting of three or more people with something higher than a standard Plasma Rifle. I can take two GEKs if they aren't heavily damage modded or are super dual tanking.
Kind of reminds me of last night for my last game. Hopped into an Ambush, saw that was it a losing game it gave me. Whatever. Spawn. Walk forward, mow down five people with my HMG, backpedal, seemed to have stirred confusion. Team does nothing but sit there in awe as I'm limping back with a fraction of armor left. Laser in the back gets me. Okay. Respawn, team still doing nothing to help. WHATEVER. Push forward by myself, see eight guys cuddling one another in a corner, everyone too afraid to move. Get gunned down by them. Duvolle got me. I damaged all of them in the hopes team would push up. They didn't. They (the enemy) thought they were okay to move. I respawn. NOMNOMNOMNOM more kills because they thought they were okay to move. Firing squad of eight once again gets me. Damn laser guy. Game over. DEFEAT.
I really can't see how people can knock on the HMG when it's pretty gnarly. I'm looking forward to putting prof. on it. It's an extremely underrated weapon apparently. Seeing the fear of an enemy team at the hands of a single HMG is enough for me to keep using it. The key to not being ganked is to be aware and I do so with the passive scanning. You literally have to drop on top of me or be dampened for me not to spot you.
Added note: Since we are on the topic of grenades, I usually keep away from corners until I know for a fact that they're either stupidly going to charge me or after I see them throw those grenades. GNNNNNRRRRRRR! Nomnomnom.
