They are intended to play as a support for the team by hacking structures behind ennemies, spotting, sabotage them with C4, flank and murdering them with nova knifes (killing an ennemy with it sould not appear in the kill feed).
A ion pistol or an SMG is enough for a scout to defend himself up close. magsec and bolt bistol are great for longer range.
i'm not particulary complaining about scouts with shotguns (ishukone nova knife < militia shotgun WUT?), but especially against the ones using combat / rail rifles. are they scout designed weapons seriously?
if players want to play as agressives scouts, nova knifes should be the best option.
Nova knife killing will still make them assassins, and scouts are not assassins.
Real scouts have high stealth ability and minimalistic fighting capabilities.
So yes sidearms only, but with their innate stealth and hotfix delta making every sidearm overpowered the delta hotfix would need to be reverted as they would still be extremely powerful.
Even with the hotfix reverted they're still powerful.
Mainly because of innate stealth
So basically they should be made so that they have no stealth ability unless their cloak is active
But besides that they need something they can benefit from wp wise, not just from killing.
If we would give them activde scanners the scanners would need changes but still there are so many scouts that scanning active would be made abusive.
Maybe we could give them passive scanning that is better than everyone else's, but is reduced to line of sight(needing to look at people for information to come up) hacking bonuses like you typed or anything else that doesn't overpower anyone in killing power or over power logis in efficiency.
We could use at least one assassin, but an assassin that can only attack specific targets that would prove a problem.
Like many nova knives can never one hit kill anyone but do more damage to heavy suits or something practical.
Though this will probably never happen, regardless if it will fix the game.
If snipers and scouts were removed for a day: This would be a one-day Dust version Pax Romana.
