I'm wondering how in the **** you got 16 kills with a fit like that.

1. Never put a rail rifle on a scout. Doesn't need to be a shotgun, but it should be a high-alpha weapon, such as a scrambler rifle, plasma cannon, sniper rifle, or even a combat rifle.
2. If you need to strafe, you're doing it wrong- as a kill-focused (I'm assuming shocktroop) scout, you should be flanking and attacking from the rear, so that the enemy doesn't get a chance to shoot at you in the first place.
3. equipment helps, and it doesn't need to be a cloak. REs and nanohives could be a nice combo.

I have no idea what RAs and PEs are.

Range amplifiers and precision enhancers. I don't use the cloak that much. I already have REs so I'll put a nano on instead. So switch out RR
for SCR or CR. I flank poorly, obviously cause I need to strafe far too often.
I don't know about
damage mods, I work better with my passives.

I agree with the replies but strafing is going to be a necessary skill to improve because try as you might the truth is you are going to find yourself in situations that didn't go the way you would like and you are going to be in a gun fight.

Scouts can strafe better than other suits so again play to this strength by learning to strafe well. Personally, I like a SMG for this purpose.

As for equipment, RE's should be a requirement for scouts. A scout when not killing should be flying around the battlefield planting RE's on Null cannons in skirmish while hacking. They are also great for taking out fatties who chase scouts around corners (again use that speed).

I prefer drop uplinks instead of nanohives. Nano's are better for a stationary player and you should be always ZOOMING. Drop uplinks get you great WP's, help the team, and fit the scouts role nicely as you move around the map dropping them.

Oh, and I wasn't saying the OP was bragging, but rather that I wasn't claiming to know everything. Just opinions from my own experiences.

Be a heavy. Still have no game game in this FPS? Be a heavy with a rail rifle standing 50m+ back and allow aim assist to do the work for you. Want speed, health, and re-gen ability, topped with stealth? Be a scout. Still can't muster any gungame? Chuck a Core Locus Grenade... Can't do anything in this game? Be a tank. Can't fight other tanks? Be an ADS pilot. Remember, the more sh*tty your connection to the server, the better you will do. 1. Pubs don't matter 2. Asault suits and logi suits don't matter 3. LAVs don't matter 4. Ion, Bolt, and Sc pistols don't matter 5. What the community wants doesn't matter 6. Unless its chasing FoTM, nothing in this game matters Except my Galmando with shotty/PLC and AR Quafe A question doesn't always have an answer, but a problem does, So what is DUST? A problem or a question?

I don't know... this doesn't really fit his playstyle much. @PARKOUR: I need a bit more info. Is the problem that you can't get out of the engagement fast enough or that you get killed right after an engagement?
