okay so let us first take these situations in consideration...(which i have encountered)

cal scout with rail rifle + gal scout with rail rifle = cal scout (wins)


cal scout with combat rifle + gal scout with rail rifle = cal scout (wins)



cal scout with mass driver + gal scout with mass driver = cal scout (Wins)


cal scout with sniper + gal scout with sniper = cal scout (wins)


cal scout with submachine gun, magsec, bolt , flay lock + gal with same weapons....= cal scout (wins) due to armor damage


cal scouts with scrambler rifle pistol ion pistol assault rifle + gal scout with same....= GAL scout (wins)




gal scouts even lose with granades like the locus...........but cal scout can be easily killed with FLUX GRANADES...as it destroyes there SHIELD......


AND GAL SCOUTS HAVE PASSIVE ARMOR REPS.....!!! WHICH NO OTHER SCOUT SUIT HAS IN DUST 514...!




so which is better....CAL OR GAL

Gallente scout for certain. You can be completely invisible from passive and active scans while still maintaining a high level of HP, or you can have some major Ewar ability while still having regen and speed. Plus it probably looks the coolest out of the four racial variants.

That would depend entirely on the situation, what their fits are, what weapons they are using and the players individual skill. With all things equal I would say it's 50/50 on who wins.

Cal. scout is better due to the broken hitbox it has. You can literally dance infront of a HMG and kill the heavy with it. And that you have 50HP/s shield regen makes it nice too. Gal. scouts are armor tanked and their armor regen is slow and plates slow it down aswell. Another thing is the bonuses that scouts get.

amarr= scan precision+stamina
caldari= damps+scan range
gallente= damps+scan precision (precision is worse then amarr!)
minmatarr= hacking speed+ knife damage

Amarr is the slowest and you might would think that the scan bonus would be nice to detect other scouts, but it only has 2 high slots and the precision you achieve can easy be countered with 2 profile damps on gal+cal scouts. So that bonus is pretty much wasted and you are stuck with the slowest scout in the game.

Gallente has the same damp bonus like the caldari but has a horrible precision bonus which is not worth it. The max you need to dodge hardcore scans are 2 damps+a cloak and thats about it. Good dampening bonus bad precision

Minmatarr are extremely niche due to knifes and hacking but they aswell have the lowest amount of HP out of all 4 suits. You could say that they are the fastest suits but minnie scouts fall over dead allmost instantly when they get shot at.

Caldari has the overpowered combination of scan range (hunting medium+heavys) and dampening (staying under the radar). At advanced it gets 2 low slots and thats all you will ever need for ewar in terms of range extension for scans and dampening. Then you aswell have ridicoulus shield regen and a broken hitbox. Its the best suit to prey on other players.

So lest recap this:
Calscout cancels out the precision bonuses from amarr+gallente quite easy, it has the longest passive scan range, best regen, no mobility drawback (if you dont use plates) and its hard to hit due to its hitbox.

Everything here is wrong - you are neglecting player skill and fhow much the fitting compliments the players play style, all while assuming people won't move and instead will just stand still.

Gal scout is a very formidable suit as you can slap on 2 complex damps and you won't get seen unless scanned by gal logi with focused scanner. Cannot tank as much so stealth is one of your greatest asset. Use enviroment to your advantage. If you are running out of cloak hde behind a rock wait for it to regen and then go again. It's armor reps are pretty strong. In your highs go Presicion enhancment if you want to be a good hunter scout or you can go shield extension so you can have a bit more tank. All in all, Gal scout is a terrifiying force on the battlefields.
A good fit would be if you like FOTM
gk0 scout
CreoDron Shotgun or Duvolle Speciallist or K5 for cheaps
Six Kin SMG or Kaalakiota MagSec. Six kin for strong CQC and Kaalakiota for better range
Grenade of choice Dosn't matter what you use. Flux for opening and finish with SMG and Locus for finishing after retreating
Links for PC or RE or Hive. If you use scout for PC use Links if not go RE or Hive for ammo on the go
ADV Cloak. Advanced should be fine. Proto will be a little to hefty on the cost of fitting but its all up to you
2x Complex Damps. These keep you unseen use em. 3 is overkill but if you paranoid go for it.
2x Complex Reactives. These brings the regen to a very impressive rate. 10hp/s (i think) hell yes. This will allow more pressure as you are popping in and popping out of battles and you are ready for th next
2x Complex Presicion Enhancers or 2x Complex shield extenders or 1 of each. Precision allos you to see most things even some other scouts. Shield if you want more tank and 1 of each allows you to get the best of both worlds but less effective.
If you don't like the Shotty go Boundless CR/Six Kin ACR or Ishukone Assault RR. Duvolle AR isn't a bad choice as well.
I hope you learned something young prodigy
