hidden noob Algintal Core Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2014.01.14 02:43:00 - [1] - Quote i have manage to get a basic gallente scout suit fit with nova knives and a rail rifle i can also fit either an active scanner or a miltia drop uplink. i have been reading the forums and yes i know that the rail rifle is op but i only started last night and need all the help i can get. i have been able to kill several people with the basic knives but often end up with one kill and 10 deaths. though the use of the active scanner has enabled me to go positive. my issue seems to be that people know im there. and with chanrged knives i cant get close enough. and that you have been scanned message isnt helping haha. are there any groups out there that train new scouts? this game is good fun im just finding it very hard to get to grips with.

Knives are the hardest weapon to use simply because you have to be right in their face to kill em! Sneak up behind, stay on the outside and work your way in!

Demon Buddah Corporate Disaster 152	Posted - 2014.01.14 03:27:00 - [21] - Quote Well right now with just a basic frame you aren't going to be much good. You need to get the actual scout suit. Another thing would be your dampening skill, at least 3. And biotic skills for sure. Secondly, if you're going to use knives, You need to train them to 5. The Zns are only good I find if they are on a Minnie scout. And lastly, you can look up the channel "Scouts United". You will definitely get help in there. If you don't get any help I will try to look you up and I will help you.

Komodo Jones Chaotik Serenity 316	Posted - 2014.01.14 03:43:00 - [24] - Quote Got my ass kicked recently by a scout with nova knives and a duvolle, ya know how he won? he pissed me off and I got stupid, realize that you're faster and harder to detect than other suits and use that to you're advantage, let them come to you and then ambush them, he wasn't even packing a scanner, actually got me a couple times with remote explosives. i finished that match 1-12, and I used full proto craziness a couple times, 1000 health and a gun that should melt scouts but i just couldn't kill him. This is a signature. You're now reading it. You may now reply to my post.

If you're particularly wanting to use knives, then your longterm goal, is to get at least damping 3, ASAP, then eventually, range, if youre not going to be reliant on scanners. But for now, you're going to need to run with 2xmilitia damps. ALL. THE. TIME. This will get you under the ADV scanners, which is what most people use. Even in a plain ol' light suit, 2xmilitia is good enough. But NOT 1xmilitia damp. You'd need an ADV damp for that. If you are in a battle where you still get scanned... then you best stay away, 'cause you're up against a pro squad that will mow down scouts mercilessly. Yes, this means your armor is "paper thin". Welcome to scouting have a nice day
Aizen Intiki Hell's Gate Inc League of Infamy 685	Posted - 2014.01.14 21:04:00 - [29] - Quote Hmmm.... stop fitting on any kind of module that help with Hp other than repairers for Gal Scouts, and only one (since you're making a combat fit. Some people might agree, but then again those same people die quickly. I tend to try and stay alive.). Then mix and match the biotics and scanning modules taht you wish to have until you find a fit that works for you. use a scanner or RE's, flux grenades are really good for scouts instead of locus unless you like to really chuck your grenades, use a longer ranged weapon if you use Nova knifes (I'd go with the Combat rifle, STD or adv. no use using PROTO, as you don't need it.). As for moving around, don't stick around someone that can get picked up on a scanner, flank first, and don't charge opponents Also,.If you pull out those Nova Knifes, and you charge, if you miss, and you can, run away. if you can't, stick to the opponent like glue, and knife away. Otherwise, you're dead. Shotty and Nova Knifes are stupid, don't do that....... That's all I got. "Hello, world!" lol, sounds like something a whore lover would say Alt of the great Godin I like chocolate ^___^

Varoth Drac The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 9	Posted - 2014.01.14 21:57:00 - [31] - Quote Make a suit with dampeners. If you get scanned switch to the dampened suit (2 x militia). If that doesn't work you are likely getting proto stomped anyway so don't worry. Nova Knives are very hard to use and are kind of useless until advanced level. They are fun though, just don't expect to get a fantastic score. If you are sure about them get advanced knives asap. Go for backstabs on stationary targets to start with. Your radar is your best weapon either with an active scanner or not. Scouts aren't getting nerfed but they are changing. One potential change is that you might find your suit with no sidearm slot and an extra equipment slot, which would kind of spoil your knifing. This isn't confirmed though. Avoiding scanners may be getting easier though. Rail rifles are good not op and are great for flanking with a scout suit. Personally I prefer shotguns or combat rifles but that is the beauty of this game, each to his own.
Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 992	Posted - 2014.01.14 22:47:00 - [32] - Quote I salute you for choosing a difficult, underdog playstyle. o7 I second the advice of working on skilling up your profile dampening and making a fit with 2 militia dampeners on it so you can get below ADV scanners, as Quil and Varoth mentioned. Being unseen is key.... scan range and scan precision help you in picking up enemies at greater ranges as well so these are important passive skills, but profile dampening is more of a priority as you can just up your situational awareness and visually scan your surroundings to spot enemies. Using the scanner is fine, although it alerts others to your presence, so many scouts forgo it. You can do a lot of damage with the regular RR so I'd leave further weapon skills for later and not skill up your RR anymore. Also - just type "LFS" in Scouts united and someone can pick you up. I'm happy to squad with you in-game anytime and can help you train in scoutly things. Bojo is a good player so if he's willing to train you it's a very good offer as well. Also, the corp "R0N1N" is a scout only corp, if they are still active.
hidden noob Algintal Core Gallente Federation 12	Posted - 2014.01.16 17:12:00 - [33] - Quote thanks for all the advice guys. gonna try out the damps. i think ill get my gall scout skill to 2 then hit up my damping skill. i have manged to kill a few guys with my knives. a blue glowing guy firing at a tank and some dudes hacking things. aim for the head =)
knight of 6 SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1125	Posted - 2014.01.16 17:59:00 - [34] - Quote knives and the RR are a bad combo, the RR is best used at medium long range and leaves you hurting in the medium short range arena. combo RR with a smg for better dps across different ranges. racial scout 5 ~ 3 million sp profile dampening 3 ~ 500k SP that combo will put you under 90% of active scanners passively. sadly most scout builds are really really high SP because we rely so heavily on our passive skills. the standard caldari med frame has the same slot layout as the gallente ADV scout, you might wanna use that while you fill out your cores it'll give you a little more ehp. I feel so bad for you. you get all the ****** parts of the scout suit and none of the good stuff. "God favors the side with the best artillery" ~ Napoleon Ko6, scout. CLOSED BETA VET
One Eyed King Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 233	Posted - 2014.01.16 18:29:00 - [35] - Quote I would also advise not to use an active scanner. When you scan someone, it alerts them to your presence. I used to use one when hacking, mainly to avoid areas with multiple reds I could not take on. What I would recommend is skilling into REs for your equipment slot. Even just one level does wonders. The are tons of fun, and once you get used to them you can take down tanks. Good luck brother knifer. Scouts don't let scouts accept more nerfs. Just say no to needless scout suit sacrifice.

Lynn Beck Granite Mercenary Division Top Men. 547	Posted - 2014.01.16 18:41:00 - [37] - Quote I may be stupid, but if you play scout like a camper, and don't dampen(hear me out) people will think you're a sniper, that's when you waltz to the nearest corner and wait for them to sneak up on you, then just knife them. Use the Flux basic scanner, as you'll be spending less time scanning, and you'll be scanning out past RR optimal. If you see 'some margin' there's a black eagle or basic light, AR them for the cash. If they pop up, try your damndest to knife em. Sidearm damage mods should be your high slot, and run kin/cardi. The idea is that you should stick with the allies, and use them as your 'stealth'. On radar they can't tell you from a heavy, and if you move only walking, and hiding in 'heavy spots' or 'sniper holes' with a space to sprint the enemy, then you'll rack up kills. If you're on at 2-5 EVE time i can show ya how i do it. Under 28db Officially nerfproof (predicting CR nerf February '14) I have a God, His name is Dakka.

Good luck brother knifer. Not necessarily, i've noticed that people pay absolutely no heed to 'you have been scanned' Unless of course, they're redline snipers. Knowing that there's 3 people in that room is much more preferable than thinking one guys in there, but it turns out there's a heavy that your prey was going to go heal.

Good luck brother knifer. the problem is without a scanner i cant see what is around me. im alrady getting zero kills most games. and without my scanner i wont get even one. ive manged 3 kills in the last few games ive played today. man this is hard work. Running the Gal scout, you have an advantage with scanning range. Think about where you want to stick scanning range and precision skills in your future SP spending. Word is that if you get them skilled up enough as a Gal, you are like a walking scanner. Esp if you end up adding a range increasing module. Scouts don't let scouts accept more nerfs. Just say no to needless scout suit sacrifice.

Esp if you end up adding a range increasing module. your scan range is double that of a heavy or medium frame at level 2 gallente scout (19.5m). this means that in tight areas like building you can see their red arrow through walls and often the roof while they can't see yours. just something to think about... how scanning works every dropsuit has a profile, precision, and range. the profile is how easy it is to pick up on scanners the precision is how accurate the built in scanner in you dropsuit is the range is how far your dropsuit's built in scanner reaches if your precision is lower than the enemy dropsuits profile and they are in range, the enemy will show up on your mini map and a red arrow will be above their head. if your profile is lower than the enemy's precision, you will not show up on their mini map. as a scout you want: a low profile, below 36db will beat ADV active scanners (the most common active scanners) a low precision (your default is the lowest precision of any suit, don't put much if any SP into it) a high range, see them before they see you "God favors the side with the best artillery" ~ Napoleon Ko6, scout.

Also, find Cyrius Li-Moody on YouTube. His tutorials on Scouting are the best around. scouts say no to quid pro quo

Qn1f3 Gallente Federation 43	Posted - 2014.01.16 20:23:00 - [45] - Quote Besides the excellent tips already given, I'd say situational awareness is the key to being a good Scout. Get into their heads, you can perform really well even with low SP amounts, get familiar with mechanics, observe then act. As many of the high profile Scouts mention in this thread, go for reducing your profile to be able to be unseen. I'll be happy to show you the ropes when I'm online and also donate a little ISK, to help you on your way. Lastly, accept the offer from Bojo and welcome to the Scout community!

Ie a Basic scout and dampener will beat a basic scanner Adv scout (skill level not suit) and adv dampener will beat a basic scanner Don't over rely on scanners. Scouts can use them to figure out you are nearby and that you can't see them. So as a scout you might think you are safe but a fellow scout is waiting for you. So situational awareness is a good thing to learn. Play with a MLT shotgun and you will learn how sneaky scouts can be.
