I would prefer infiltration

Infiltration is a completely separate function from assault, so this will require a new fitting. My infiltration builds are based on dampening, sprint speed, dropping uplinks safely in the outskirts to usher the team into the location, and hacking.

weapons: primary and sidearm of choice (nova-knives are quiet)
Grenade: Militia Flux Grenade. You will be hacking objectives. After you clear the area of enemies, flux the objective 100% of the time before hacking.
Equipment: R-9 uplink. Drop these on the outskirts of the area that you are about to infiltrate, not within the area. Nothing gives your position away like an uplink showing up on TACNET or scans. Place them significantly apart from each other. Redundancy is important if one gets destroyed.
Equipment 2: your choice
high slots: I would go with precision to identify enemies sneaking up behind you while you hack.
low slots: 3 Complex Damps, if you have more low slots use them for codebreakers or kincats. You don't want ANY scans picking you up so dampening is essential.

One Eyed King Land of the BIind 6165	Posted - 2014.11.26 04:20:00 - [3] - Quote I always suggest playing to your strengths, and having several different fits to address several different circumstances. Amarr scouts are truly the assault light by role. They are somewhat slower, but have more natural HP, and can still dampen. Always have a max dampening fit as a scout. For Amarr, some other fits can include maxing your precision, and your range in the low slots. This might be very helpful for the upcoming EWAR changes as the greater the range you have, the greater your most inner circle will be (where scans will be even stronger). You could perhaps fit this with a repper if you have a heavy friend. I have seen it before, and it is quite an OP combo (so don't be surprised if they make changes in the future). I think there is a little more versatility with Amarr, so you can do both CQC and longer ranges well. Maybe work with some Armor Repair mods so you can keep heal up after some short hit and run fights. I also hear ScRs work really well on Amarr frames, and that is a weapon that can do some damage both in CQC and at range. I don't run the suit, so if you hear any experienced Amarr scouts contradict me, I would take their advice over mine, but those are my thoughts given what I know about the suit.

Ace Boone Capital Acquisitions LLC 446	Posted - 2014.11.26 06:16:00 - [7] - Quote Ferroscales and reppers in lows, precisions in the highs. Weapon of your choice, two equipment of your choice, be aggressive and play like a light assault. OR Be squishy as hell with damps and range amps. Either way, a gal scout will slip through your scans and completely wreck you given ample opportunity Only loyal to the republic.

Clone D Grundstein Automation 865	Posted - 2014.11.26 11:40:00 - [11] - Quote What is the budget for your suit? What battle function do you want your suit to fulfill? Infiltration? Light Assault? A/V? Hunt and Kill? Point Defense? etc. Obviously, the strength of the suit is precision, but you can use that in myriad ways. Caveat: even the most precision tanked Amarr scout cannot detect heavily dampened scouts, so someone will always be under the radar, so you still have to watch your back. ISK Trader channel: blitz

Unless you want to armor-tank your fitting, try not to attack enemies head on. Weapon: primary of choice Weapon: sidearm of choice Grenade: Militia Flux Grenade - quickly remove shields to get faster kills (I time my weapon fire to coincide with the flux explosion) Also, if you do hack an objective, FLUX 100% OF THE TIME. No exceptions. REs don't always render. Equip 1: Militia Nanohive - I choose a nanohive over a cloak because I go through a lot of ammo taking down armor tanked enemies Equip 2: Compact Nanohive- I use a compact nanohive because there's not always a logi around when you need reps ^^^^ IMO carrying those two nanohives will keep you alive longer than a cloak. Keep those flux grenades stocked at all times. High Slots: I use varying degrees of precision enhancement in my high slots to spot cloaked scouts before they get me Low Slots: I use varying degrees of range amplification to get the drop on my targets. Dampeners are also an excellent choice to keep away pesky nova knifers and shotgunners. If you're playing assault, don't use codebreakers. Concentrate on killing, not hacking. You will not regret getting extra kills while your buddy hacks away. If you do want to hack, the single enhanced codebreaker on your suit does not provide enough of an advantage to prioritize it over another module. ISK Trader channel: blitz

Her Chosen Grade No.2 89	Posted - 2014.12.02 07:33:00 - [16] - Quote Truth be told, the Amarr scout is quitemore versitile than people may think. However, it is still the worst Scout in the game... perhaps because it's actually not unbalanced and OP gasp Since you have 4 low slots, you can play it like the Gallente. Dampen it, tank it, or speedhack it... I find that in a pub, you don't need damps. So run speed if you want to SG. Run tank if you want to assault. Always use PEs in the highs, since it's 75 shields aren't enough worth tanking on to. The PEs do help, nothing like watching the cloaked scrubs trying to sneak up on you, you seeing them, shooting them, and watching them panic, because they never had a gungame

Thank you very much for your reply What do you suggest for weapons? I am currently using Advanced Bolt Pistol and SMG BP and SMG compliment each other and are a potent mid/close range choice (I always use MLT BP since it still does a lot of damage and is cheap). I don't want to draw a lot of attention to myself during infiltration and I think that BP is quiet enough to perform assassinations without making a scene. I'd use the SMG as a last resort if I were to be spotted and surprised. I personally don't use them, but cloak and nova knives would also make an excellent choice for infiltration. Remove hostiles quietly, hack everything, give your team a doorway (uplinks) into the area. ISK Trader channel: blitz

All help is appreciated 2cx precisions in the High slots. Whatever you feel like in the low slots. (a Profile dampener or a RAnge amp could be at hand) I run 2 cx prec enhancers in the highs 1 cx profile dampener in the lows 1 Complex Armor rep 2 Complex ferro/or armor plates depending on the map. I use active scanners for long range scans ,but the high precision at 30mts of my passive scans helps me check on undampened scouts in the vecinity. The amarr scout is a scout killer IMO. REMEMBER THOU, even with the 2 cx precision enhancers a Caldari or Gallente Scout with 2 Complex profile dampeners will avoid your passive scans....the good thing is that they will have little HP.
