scouts are op. they are basically immune to tacnet while sharing their passive scans, far too versatile.. more so then medium suits which are supposed to be the "versatile" ones , they are also fast and can strafe to just laugh at your attempts to shoot them and worst offender is cal scout who has godlike shield reps and can tank like a beast with its bugged hitbox

Here is my biggest problem, they can take just as much abuse as any medium suit can, and they can deal the same amount of damage as any medium suit can.

I know what you are thinking:

Hey wait a second, I cannot get my scout to have as many HP as my assault/logi!

Well, You definitely do get a hit box that is between 20-30% smaller. That means you eHP is 20-30% higher versus the same eHP on a medium frame, because 20-30% of the bullets that would normally hit you will not hit you. This also means that you have effectively similar HP totals when tanked.

Generally speaking an Assault or heavy will outmatch scouts at distance because at that point speed is A LOT less important and HP is EVERYTHING. So you don't need to,worry about scouts at long distance more than any other player. In CQC though scouts rule, mostly because of their ability to use SMG's, Knives and Shotguns to down bigger slower enemies with a blitzkrieg of an attack. In short if you see a scout within eye staring distance it is usually too late. Cue the Ion Pistol, which you can use to kill scouts in usually one shot. If you're in a heavy or Assault they will usually have to shoot you twice with a shotgun to kill you, you only need one shot; they may shoot first but you will shoot last.

If you're smart enough to flank and a good shot then you can take on scouts fairly effectively with not much of a second thought. Learn to separate the morals from the Muhla.

You can't sneak up on a scout if they know what they are doing. I mean take routes that benefit you as well as moving cover to cover. Staying in a group is also good if you aren't prepared for an uneven fight. I don't know maybe it's because I tend to run my Assault suits like scouts but I rarely get caught off guard even by cloaking scouts. Cloaks just make them look like walking gel figurines.
