Am I the only one that hates scout with shotguns? How can I deal with that? Any tips?
Always report to tomorrow what you can do today, because you might not have to do it anymore tomorrow.

Have good situational awareness?
Use precision enhancers?
Mass Driver?
Use a shotgun yourself?
Strafe?
Get lucky?
Punch them in the face?
Use a heavy?
Fly away? |

be aware of your surrounding. stick with a group. Kill them before they get to you using high dmg weapons. |

On the bright side, it's MUCH better than it used to be.
That said, in order to overcome shotgun scouts, you have a few options...
First, if you can't beat them, join them: Run a scout with damps & keep moving. They will rarely if ever catch you. You can also run an Amarr in hopes of picking one up with your passives -- all this really does is drive the really good ones to dampen up and you'll not see them.
Second, you might get a Gal Logi. Simliar to the Amarr scout, above, it's only temporary, as the good ones will simply dampen up.
Third, tank up your suit and react to them. This doesn't typically work real well unless you have great reactions.
Fourth, run in groups & pay attention to your rear/flanks -- places where others around you aren't looking is the way they will likely approach.
Fifth, stay in areas with a few areas of approach & take all corners wide. This only works some of the time, however.
Sixth, run around backwards in a fast moving suit -- this will often trick scouts to try to approach you from behind, only to be met with your bullets when they get into the clear.
Seventh, run a fast suit and keep moving. They can't kill what they can't catch, and they'll frequently stop chasing and seek easier targets.
Last, choose the "right" weapon for you: I kill more scouts with my BrScP these days than any other weapon -- but it took me a long time (and a buff to this weapon) to become skilled enough to do so consistently. The key is seeing them first, backpeddling, and shooting them in the face before they get in their range (i.e. within 5-ish meters).
Bottom line: When dealing with scouts I find it best to just try to play damage control -- they're always gonna get you, so your best hope is to simply minimize the damage. |

I'm a shotty scout myself and I must say; It's harder than you think.
Just act paranoid and always check behind you.

Don't run around on your own. Listen for the shotgun sound, look for shotgun kills on kill feed. If you see or hear any evidence of a shotgun, look behind you.
Stay away from them, backpedal, strafe, gun them down.
That's my advice.
Also, carry an injector to deal with the aftermath of a shotgun scout attack. If the scout kills two of you buddies before you kill them, then you revive said buddies, you win 1-0. |

Not really... Especially most maps where there are tight spaces... If I can go 28/7 with NK I know damn well a shotgunner can go atleast 40 kills |

Complain loudly enough and Rattati et al will nerf it like everytthing else. Then we can get back to the whole ground warfare thing.
Death is a serious business. So is running a shoddy, half-baked game company.

You know, I ABSOLUTELY love cloaky shotgun scouts for two reasons...
They give me an enormously loud warning AND about 2 seconds to do a 180 PLC+Flaylock flip.
