In God we trust, ceteris paribus the following are just some silly tactics:
a) You have a scout suit or assault suit with modules, just run until you gain ground advantage through a choke point, high ground or cover... turn around and kill it
b) You have an assault suit with no movement module, if you are close just remember that shot guns are short range so jump backwards in different patterns. If you are at mid range, the scout will try to get near so you must keep a distance thus maintaining your ground advantage. If you are covering an area and thus not planning to move, set a trap using grenades and heavy fire to lure the shot gunner into an area you can handle or an area where you have remote explosives set and ready.
c) You have a Heavy suit, you are not very fast so find an open field or achoke point if you have already spotted him at distance. If its near dont stand still and movebackwards as you shoot your op HMG.
d) If you have a laser you should be staying in high grounds or open areas where you can take advantage. MD is op so abuse the expansive effect
e) If you are a so scared you can quit the game, call an lav and ram him up, call a tank, call a dropship and stomp it against him, snipe from a high mountainin the red line, sell you ps3, smah your controller against the wall, sell your account on
There are a lot of ways aside from the ones mentioned above. |

I have read the correct answer twice in this thread and each got a +1.
Answer: Mass Driver
The only time I die by a shotgun scout is the odd times they are able to sneak up or I'm hacking

A weapon that is not very good against basically every other form of infantry in the game is pretty hilarious as "the answer" to shotgun scouts. |

Is there a "Mass Driver" in some other game that your talking about? |

Get good at identifying them and never let them get close. Also running in large groups discourages them/me. I personally back pedal while shooting and will bunny hop if they are to close. If they stealth you from behind you just die. |

Scrambler Scout > Shotgun Scout. While playing as this fit I've came across several shotgun scouts and never once have they beat me. We move at the same speed but my weapon has more range and deals similar damage if you actually aim.
Not sure why people go with the shotgun scout except for perhaps not wanting to aim or just wanting to recreate the TF2 classes (seriously, every TF2 class is well represented in Dust). If you miss with the scrambler you are at least at a safe distance to retreat. If you somehow miss with the shotgun you are SOL. |

As a dedicated shotgun scout, here's a list of tips for countering us:
1. Never look behind yourself
2. Walk alone
3. Ignore your minimap
4. Stand completely still when a shotgun scout is shooting you
5. Charge towards them for a melee kill
6. Chase them around corners
7. Spam grenades and Mass Driver rounds directly at your feet
8. Commit suicide and ragequit the match
I hope you found these tips useful on finding yourself de- I mean better prepared for fignting shotgun scouts.*
-Squid
* = Doing the exact opposite of these tips is adviseable. |

Lol, wut? Are you telling me that MDs are not effective against other forms of infantry? What game you playing? Not only are MDs effective versus any type of infantry it also takes out LAVs. Paired with his best friend Mr. Flux nade, he makes mercs go boom!
I guess I'm doing it wrong, but aren't the fused locus nades merc pack items only? So you are saying the best option is to fork out cash to kill shotie scouts? Sorry sir but I disagree and so does my MD. |

I'm playing the game where every time I've fought someone using a mass driver I've killed them without a problem. You're suggesting people use a weapon that'll disadvantage them against people using ARs, all to make them less vulnerable to scouts with shotguns. It's ridiculous. The terrible advice in this thread is truly remarkable. |

Since I have only played instant and mercenary battles, no one with a Mass Driver has killed me yet, therefore I conclude it is a horrible weapon and everyone using it is shooting themselves to the leg. My opinion is also a universally appliable fact and should never be questioned, hurr durr.

This topic was the best way to kill a shortie scout and MD is by far the best answer. Scouts have very little eHP and are easily taken out, now as the rest of the games classes once you get rid of their shields, armor just melts away.
You put your own bias perspective on it, there are counters to every class you use. As a MD user only, I can tell you that it is a very effective weapon versus any class and I can easily kill any suit once my flux rips their shields off if they are shield tanked.
MD is not an easy weapon to master, not point and click like AR, and can see why they are easy to kill if you are not skilled into them.
I will look for you on the BF to try to change your opinion on us noob tubers. |

If the OP was looking to switch into any possible other fitting such that his only priority is killing scouts with shotguns, then mass driver is not the best way. Missile tank or blaster tank is the best. So sure, OP, just start driving tanks non-stop and you'll never be killed by a shotgun again. Or play as a sniper and just shoot scouts from 300 m away (several times until hit detection works and they die). The OP didn't give the impression he wanted to change his entire playstyle to fight scouts, but rather than he was looking for tips on dealing with scouts as someone who plays the game with whichever kind of infantry setup.
And to that end, as mentioned, grenades are probably the best answer, because most people carry those anyway irrespective of the weapon they're using.
