Gall scouts can be pretty good slayers. That's the same way I run my scouts babar. I do really well as well, even in PC.

However I think most of he complaints with the scout suit stem from trying to use ewar and biotic module set up instead of hp set up like u and I use.

I have indeed tried a pure ewar set up with only 1 rep and no tank other than a shield extender and it was pretty damn hard.

I won't say "you're not a real scout" because if that's true, I'm not a real scout either.

You're not a real scout.

who is? Scouts gather Intel and deliver messages. Neither of which is very needed in Dust. Anyone can carry a scanner.

The folk running NKs and REs are scouts. The ones dropping uplinks in good spots rather than rooftops, or the ones who have to pick & choose their fights.

you missed my point. I think its funny how NKs are even considered a weapon. The ratio of knife kills to knives that get killed is tiny. They are a party favor and good for a laugh at best. Ouch you got me with those knives after 19tries. That makes a good scout? No wonder good scouts cry all day.

I have mostly run dual scrambler pistols, Creodron breach AR, Carthum assault scrambler rifle and some Boundless CR. I have changed my fitting to be 349 armor, 160 shields, I put on a proto dampener. - Best game was 33-1 with the CR, I redlined myself... - I had several games with around 20 kills and 2-3 deaths with both the pistols and the breach ar. - The pistols are probably the most fun way to play Dust IMO, I made a mental note of speccing into them later. - I had forgotten what long effective range the A scr has while still being good in cqc. - There is something magical happening, sometimes, when you combine a Creadron AR's hipfire with a scouts strafing. I was amazed after taking on several HMG fattys 1 vs 1 up front in CQC, it will be exciting to see after 1.8 The added stealth and speed more than makes up for reduced base stats and fitting IMO. On top of being versatile and capable in all I've tried it for so far, it comes with the added bonus of being much more fun to play. Edit: I just remembered: Worst game was a 21-9 skirm we lost, and a 6-3 ambush we won. I've run std commando with adv flaylock and adv knives.......... didn't have a good suit, wasn't playing to any of its strengths, but had a good squad so was averaging like a 3 kdr for the matches we played, my point being just you were in a scout suit (even if it was proto) or any UP suit, if your a solid player and you have a solid squad (probally proto logi's or tanks) you can expect to do well.... TLDR: solid player + gimped suit + solid squad = solid gameplay ......... :D scout suit 300 > ehp : G£ö cal fw "terrible blueberries" : G£ö stacked red team : G£ö "still too easy - knives only"
