Thank you for all the nova knife kills
But here is a question, how does someone with a sniper see a dampened scout? haha

if you're a sniper and you dont hear a scout coming up on you especially if they are clocked then you aren't a very good sniper

any weapon that charges up makes noise when charging/charged and cloaks make noise when going into and out of it.

even if the scout is using a shotgun you can still hear his footsteps or if he/she jumps you hear a thud

A sniper should always be aware of their surroundings, and in dust you can't be a sniper that just stays in the same spot the whole match, if you do expect to be killed.

Not everyone can have their volume on when playing dust. For some reason, my sound effects will not play through my headset (no matter how many times I change my settings so that it will). That means that if I'm in a squad with comms, I need to turn my volume right down so that I don't have an unnecessary amount of background noise. I also find that I can't hear some of the people I regularly squad up with unless I have voice chat set to 100 and nothing else above 50.

Some scouts I've seen lately are really bad at sniper hunting though - cloaked, but with a high enough profile that they show up on my passive scans, and have chevrons while cloaked too. They're easy to spot :P

Until this game becomes a genuine tactical ground combat game as seemingly envisioned in CCP's trailers GÇô I will snipe like the true hill sniper. Let's remember, sniping did have to be done outside of the redline when we had larger maps befitting ground combat. People b*tched and the maps got reduced down to arena rumble sizes and designs. Oh wellGÇª LEGION I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.

Nonoriri ko Onikanabo Brigade Caldari State 39	Posted - 2015.01.19 16:13:00 - [13] - Quote I played sniper main for the first year playing dust. With ewar skills maxed and maxed proto profile modules. I never ever saw someone killing me in my radar. Gallente lv 5 logistics sniper too I think when you are looking through scope, no enemies appear in your radar. I do detect scouts passively when not zoomed in to scope. This coupled with the concentration during scoping, trying to get headshots, is a 100% chance to kill a sniper if you go behind them. There was this hilarious one time, I was using kaalakiota. I got up to go higher up a hill, 3 scouts were up there. They had spotted me and were coming down to kill me. I had 1 second to react, i started shooting as fast as i could, not aiming. I headshotted the first 2 front scouts, and the third took a step back. Not so confident 1 on 1 now. He was standing there thinking what to do. I crouched down, took aim with scope, and last 3 shots got him. My amazing dust514 moment. The chance of headshots on the first 2 scouts was like winning the lottery.

It masks the sound and all I have to worry about is the sound of my footsteps.Thankfully, we Minjas can Velociraptor-Jump to cover the last handful of meters of sprint while charging up our knives. pegasis prime wrote: If i choose to snipe it's either un my commando Cko (so Iit take you more than 1 strike to kill me ) or in my scout Cko with 3 complex precision mods and 2 range amps you'd be surprised how many knifers iv turn round and blapped with my bolt pistol. Little known fact: The natural terrain, unlike the man-made structures, are able to hinder passive scans 100%. So even if I'm just 15m away from you in my Minscout, if there is a small hill between you and me, you won't be able to see me. Another trick is to Velociraptor jump on you which covers the last handful of meters while charging my knives while maintaining sprint speed. You'll have little time to react. I've dealt with your kind before and I have adapted to the likes of you over the years. Sir Dukey wrote: Good luck trying to climb my tower, i'll see your dropship coming from a mile away..

They're easy to spot :P That's why I use the terrain to mask my profile during my approach. The only thing that can scan me through the terrain at that point is an active scanner. The downside with this is that it affects both the hunter and hunted. This forces me to have to guess where the enemy is at when running around rocky terrain. This is most important for me to know as a Minscout user since Minmatar Scouts don't have EWAR bonuses. I have even seen assault and heavy suits next to me hide from my passive scan simply because of the terrain. Sicerly Yaw wrote: ...or if he/she jumps you hear a thud... Assuming that the scout doesn't velociraptor jump at the correct moment. If done correctly, I can land precisely where you're at and by then my Ishukone Nova Knives on a Minscout will shred you before you can react. I very rarely ever get countered by a sniper and even then they're at a disadvantage against me. Unless that sniper has prior CQC experience, that sniper won't do well against me in a CQC situation. I will admit that I do get killed by snipers and those are usually the ballsy ones that leave the safety of the redline and fight among us with real experience. I salute those kind of snipers. PS: A trick I use to finding snipers masked by the terrain is the sound of their shots. With a pair Turtlebeach PX-22 headset, I can hear those shots and pinpoint their location like a bat in the dark. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.
