Scout walk speed is higher than other suits, but not by enough to balance out the apparent loss of speed when charging or slashing.

If you have to fight enemies who are aware of you and you only have Knives, the best option is to sprint in close enough then just quick slash instead of charging. The ACTUAL best option is to either shoot or not get seen in the first place, because you're a Scout, and Scouts don't do well with being seen.

unless its either my assault rifle scout bpo. or a completly tanked to the **** hose. scout gko

Sorry, MOST Scouts...

yeah. they are easy to kill. but when they get the drop on you and you turn around to hit the ****** hes already boucing away hitting you while you struggle to hit.

the way i see it. sneak attack with std gall scout at scout lvl3, with stdAR millita damage mod, millita profiledamp and rep. seems to work better at killing than my fckn gko

Usually when you get the drop on someone with Nova Knives, they aren't backpedalling, and they don't get a chance to turn around to see you bouncing away.

Hunter Fencen ROGUE SPADES 94	Posted - 2014.02.16 11:28:00 - [7] - Quote Yes but the fact of the matter is no matter how silky my stealth moves are the fact that someone always can outpace me backwards whilst I charge which can happen quite easily. You say use a gun, defeats the whole point of getting close to knife doesn't it?

Lucifalic Nos Nothi 350	Posted - 2014.02.16 12:31:00 - [10] - Quote backpedaling really hurts NK and SG. Its quite ridiculous how fast the backpedal is in this game and should be halved, or slowed down when shooting. Another huge problem with this mechanic is they can backpedal and hipfire their rifles with pinpoint accuracy. So if you dont get an ohk and they spin around, your generally toast in your paper suit. Rough Here since Closed beta. Scout for life.

Something else that might be nice, and this is just a whim, would be less fall damage for us scouts or wall running. That would be badass sprinting along a wall, dropping 50 metres and charge hitting an assault.

I also use the "useless" myofibrils too though so that might have skewed my impression. Patience is key to Nova Kniving. Barely comparable as it does far less damage than a charged shot, myofibrils are cool but i'd rather use sidearm mods or scanner precisions

I would scan down enemies and try to predict what corners they would come around. I had one match where I got four kills in rapid succession as reddots would come up the stairs and around the corner into the arms of my waiting NK. It was almost like they were coming singlefile wanting to die. I have to admit that this is probably the best memory I have of NK since it is really the only memory I have of NK kills I've gotten. I flank one shotted a Heavy that match too. I imagine they were a pissed bunch of reddots knowing that they were killed by someone who had nothing but NK for defense.

Link please? After a slack job of trying to use the forum search tool, I remember why I never use the forum search tool. After an equally slack job of using Google search, I found that I may have been incorrect. There were unique animations present for sprinting with Nova Knives charged, but I could be wrong about official word on it being an unintended limitation on Knives. I have a feeling it was mentioned somewhere, but the closest I can find to a reference is this thread where they mention the animations: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=789379#post789379 I'm 100% sure I've seen other references to the same thing, along with having seen the animation for myself in-game, but I'm not 100% certain of official acknowledgement that it had been intended. I am about 80% sure, but I'm also in dire need of sleep right now, so a proper search can wait.

Seriously every time a NK gets a kill in DUST, it improves it. In a time where we have super human dropsuits improving all our abilities more so then ROBOCOP Epic sound effect It personally was a selling feature for me and many others that super fast glass cannon, not weighed down with tech for health point; Ninja like scouts where going to be running around and pack a massive punch and also be vulnerable.. A Time where Super human Speed would make Melee a Functional form of combat again... where you could close gaps and get into someones personal space to use a blade. And also have the same ability with a gun to use the map your wits, and ability to defend yourself against these fast glass cannons with your armored up suit with defensive range potential.
