All of my GalScouts I have been using so far are pretty squishy and I die really fast in them. I never really cared about dying so much in them because they still performed well doing what I set them up for.
Today the good people over at Fatal Absolution and Ancient Exiles. were kind enough to educate me on how ineffective my squishy GalScout fits are when trying to slay people in a city; they did this by slaughtering me and blowing me up with Mass Drivers more consecutive times than I can ever remember.
So now I am here looking for GalScout fits that work well for slaying with a Shotgun.
Also, I'm looking for a fit that works well for suicide runs. For some reason I really enjoy going on crazy suicide runs with my GalScout which, though it contributes to a lot of my deaths obviously, is very fun.
Anyone have some fitting advice? |

Run damps and speed.
Any scout question: this is the answer.
You are not an assault.
You cannot withstand direct confrontations.
Damps.
And Speed.

Anyone have some fitting advice? Flank them, quickly run away, flank them again from a different place, run away again. Rinse and repeat, this is the life of any scout.

Unfortunately mass driver highground spam is real in PC especially against the big nerd corps like FA, not sure what to even do about since Im a scrub.
Dont get seen, thats pretty much the only personal level advice for this. I've had a tiny bit of success vs. excessive mass driver spam by using a x3 dampener min assault shotgunner, but it doesnt have the same functionality as a scout does, so its not a perfect replacement.
You would probably need to put some teamwide effort into owning the high ground or introducing mass drive spam yourself, but this will be ineffective unless your team has the skill level to compete with these guys in general since you will get blown the **** out regardless if you dont.
FA will generally have some people running some Rattatis with Agimus/AR or some other setup with myofibrils, often camping high ground, even if you come up to them and shotgun them right in the ass, they will grasshopper up and you will be in deep **** pretty soon as they come down. This wouldnt be as much of an issue except that on a team level FA usually wrecks everyone so you will basically be alone most of the time.
Is rough problem, good luck. |

Keep your dampening up (should go without saying in PC) and dont be seen, or have some sort of team wide counter, thats the only way you're going to get out of it.
I think you have us confused with Prima Gallicus.
Who needs the high ground when you can slaughter everyone with your boots on the ground?

Last time I played FA I kept running into some myo rattati guy every time I went near the city running ags/AR, hopping onto high ground in the rings/acid pit facility (I forget his name).
I got him a couple of times but just the restrictions placed on you by always being in danger of some guy 2 shotting you from across the facility on high ground is very difficult to work around.
This was only one of a few guys chilling on high ground, and of course plenty cruising around hunting on the ground as well. The reason the high ground camping is so effective is because the ground game is just as nasty, otherwise they could be isolated/picked off/cleared. |

CQC shotgun slaying is best done with an assault fitted with damps and kincats. Gal/Cal scouts can do ok though, fit speed, damps and shields (gal scout can go 2xkincat 1 damp 1 reactive). Don't go for direct combat. If they use mass drivers, run away. |

The key to being a good scout is not being detected. I would advise double damps and a proto cloak if you know you are going to be on some covert mission **** against the big boys. |

Not that this guy knows who I am from this character but I can confirm this guy is a legit ground fighter. |

Who cares?
Taking high ground and using it for overwatch is a perfectly legitimate tactic, why are you guys so defensive about this? |

I played a few matches earlier with a Proto GalScout fitted with a Proto Cloak, 2x Complex KinKats, and 2x Complex Profile Dampeners and I slaughtered with it.
I wasn't able to try it out on a map with cities though which is where I need more experience running a Scout. |

Just speaking from personal experience but I find if the battle location is a 'built up' area like a 'city' complex - plenty of places to hide and dodge etc... then I find that speed becomes possibly even more important than raw stealth. That being said the combination of the two with a high damage alpha weapon like PLC, Shotgun, Remotes etc... makes for a lethal combo |

All of this of course if from the view of an outsider, so I dont know what the **** you guys are up to strategically. FA strategic??? Lol
