Really? How? Because, I have one on my loadout and I can only seem to apply it to other allies.

haha, yeah i've been practicing with shotgun a ton. I've learned that it's all about being the initiator of the fight. You get one clean full blast creodron shotgun round off and people dont usually stand a chance after. Also, It really helps to aim down the sight for your first shot. I use to exclusively fire from the hip because you move fastest that way, but the aim really improves the shotguns damage and likelyhood of hitting its target, especially since hit detection is a fickle beast in this game.

Glad I could play with you though. Generally I play US Communication Ambush, because shotguns are absolutely no good in Plateau, too long ranged. I'm starting to mess around in EU Plateau Ambush though, just cause a lot of betamax people are adopting that server, and I enjoy playing with them.

1. Be damaged.
2. Be away from allies.
3. Hold R1.

It sometimes takes a while to kick in, and I've only ever done it with VERY low armour (less than 50%) so it might not work if you're only scratched.

That sounds more like someone (an ally) came up and started healing you. I could be wrong, and I'll give it a try, but I still do not think the repair gun/tool will allow you to heal yourself. I'll try to get on today though and try this.

Alright. I did get some time on this evening actually. I had two horrible matches out of the three I was able to get in before getting off. However I wanted to say thank you to, Garrett Blacknova. It is true that you can actually heal yourself with the repair gun/tool. So thank you for heads up and insight. Proved very useful. I also tweeked around with another build one you all may want to try out and play around with. Not just a mockup, and one most can obtain early on with probably around four million and less skill points seeing how I have about seven and a half million skill points now (I know not many skill points considering the build right?) So anyway I hope you all enjoy this build and I garuntee it will be more useful still in the coming august build.

Personally I love the name, and acronym.

Name: Emergency Medical Scout (The E.M.S.)

Dropsuit:

Scout Type-II

Weapons:

Shotgun

Equipment:

Repair Gun/Tool

Nanite-Injectors

Modules:

Shield Extender

Armor Plates

Armor Repair

I left out the grade to the equipment. However I find even with maximized CPU (Central Processing Unit) and PG (Power Grid) output that at most you can only go so far due to the limitations of the Type-II. However you can go above the militia grade equipment as usually it means the purcahses basic equipment is just slightly better, but requires less CPU and PG then their militia grade brothers. You can also swap the plates for two of the three cardio stimuli. The "red" one will not fit unless you also ditch the armor repair unfortunetly, but of course the more skill points you invest the less CPU overall the equipment will use. This is just the earliest build you can achieve for the proper E.M.S. -- all depending of course.

Scout's are already the naturally fastest infantry units moving on the battlefield. The only thing faster is another scout pending on situations of course.

Not true, an assault needs only 1 complex kinetic catalyst in order to be on par with a scout while sprinting.

I've been working on a new setup cause smgs are getting boring. So i decided to try out the Scrambler Pistol here is the setup i have so far with just a pistol



Name: Pistol Whiped
Dropsuit: Scout A-series
Light Weapon: None
Sidearm Weapon: Carthum Assault Scrambler Pistol
Grenades: Core Locus Grenade
Equipment Slot 1: Quantum Nanohives
High-Power Module 1: Complex Sidearm mod
High-Power Module 2: Complex Shield Extender
Low-Power Module 1: Basic Armor Repair
Low-Power Module 2: Complex CPU mod

With this setup its all about accuracy cause a good headshot can 1-2 shot someone. When ur in a 1v1 situation take ur time an make sure ur shots count an keep moving around. then when ur fighten more then one guy at a time u need to take them out fast so drop a full clip into a guy quick as u can if ur good aim his died in a sec then move on to the next one. use grenades too there really important with this setup cause they help out alot against heavys. Also the range of the pistol is really good, you can easily snipe people at good distances if u aim down the sight

An this setup is for people that like a challenge an are accurate with a gun

It only takes one militia kinetic catalyst for the scout to out sprint an assualt with one complex kinetic catalyst attached as well.

Again. Depending. Also you took a qoute and still fumbled here, SoCal. As I said pointed out even in this line -- "naturally" -- meaning that the scout is the fastests. You cannot yet increase base speed, and even if you wanted to used modules, and skills the scout will win. Let me prove this using what you said here.

It only takes one complex kinetic catalyst for the scout to out sprint an assualt with one complex kinetic catalyst attached as well.

Point is the scout is the fastest infantry unit "naturally". I even stated situations "pending" because, of the simple fact that everyone plays a little differently. You may run into someone who has more skills invested in their characters base stats, or has different modules equiped to out manuver you.

Case in point the argument here is not necessary.

Well I'm sorry if I implied in some way, or made you feel that I felt that scouts were untouchable. I know they are not. So I apologise for that confusion, but I was going by the numbers. However another thing to point out is the player variable. As for the whole specialization, or jack-of-all trades player? You prefer to be a specialized player. A lot of people tend to follow suit. However when it comes to me? I'd rather be a jack of all trades, and allow my own skill as a player to fill the gaps in between. Which allows me as a player to fill many roles as the situations arises. This is just who I am though, and it works for me; just as being a specialized player suits you. At the end of the end of the day it comes down to the player (you) to find out what works for you. Which is not a bad thing. Why? Because, it allows for a morehesive team experience when grouping. You are specialized, but the team also needs players like myself. Players whom can fill an even more niche' role then specialized players.

Take of it what you will.

I just felt the argument was uneccessary simply because, I do not like to argue. I find it pointless and only seems to cause more problems. Plus I have to constantly defend myself everyday and it wears you thin.

What I am in real need of is the ability to set primary, secondary, and support. Seriously starting out with the swarm launcher at times will get you killed. Atleast right now due to the latency issues in the controls.

After all your module work, you actually become a base assault suit with +7% base movement, and -30 shielding, and x2 shield recharge.

That sounds like it's a well-done hybrid build with an emphasis on shield tanking.

I don't see that as a negative. In fact, in the right hands, it sounds like a rather deadly setup to me.

You're saying it wouldn't work for you, and I think I'd probably struggle more than with my own builds, but that's because we have our own playstyles. Don't knock something because it's not your style.

A heavy tanking Scout would be a nasty surprise when the target expects you to be squishy, and doesn't that deception play to the Scout's strengths too?
