1) Don't run/jump in close corners if you are trying to sneak.
2) I think tactical assault rifles/lasers may be underestimated for scouts.
3) Dropping uplinks/ reviving behind enemy lines.
4) You can get a 35m+ detection on your dropsuit for under 150k SP and even better with a little more. That's outside of the optimal ranges of a lot of guns.
5) Like the logi, you aren't made to fight solo most of the time.


Everyone is so KILL obsessed. Assaults ARE the damage dealer. Everyone else IS a suboptimal DPSer. Which is okay right now, but I'm really thinking that there will be many more elements to battlefield dynamics than just putting damage on target.

Killing with your primary weapon is just ONE way to get warpoints, and killing the enemy clones is arguably the lesser of the two ways you can win a skirmish match.

If there might be a bonus that hasn't been thought of yet, it might be the ability to call in vehicles more quickly. If the scout's queue was 5 seconds vs. 15 that might be nice.

So I am supposed to run around and use some kind of scanner for my team?.

sounds exactly like something a scout would do.

Man sounds like I chose the wrong suit than. If they would of explained scout more clearly that they are PURE spy and nothing on the battlefield I would of NEVER chosen to be one.

This whole thread makes no sense, the Scout Suit is a suit! No suit should have limitations outside of reason, just stats.

Scouts shouldn't be forced to use shotguns!

Guy is just upset he is not a top tier scout yet and is blaming the game, not the player.

Lol, please shut THE HELL UP! You don't even know me and you're making quite a story how I am a trash player. I am simply throwing my opinion out there to fish in other people's opinions so I can think of different ideas. For some assclown like you to come in with all the answers just know your damn role.

Don't be upset, Good scouts wipe and bad scouts, as you seem to be, don't. I never said you was a trash player broda, just not a top tier scout. Go ahead and scroll up. You be up here wahwahwah over you lack of skill as a scout.

I get killed by scouts with nova knives a lot. Try that.

So because I am trying to get information from my Scout brothers or any experienced player that may know about Scout, this makes me a low tier scout? Whatever low tier high tier makes no difference to me this thread is for the purpose of mixing opinions into my equation to see what I can cook up. NOT for somebody to come in here and tell me to go to google. I am simply trying to get the Scouts in the community to be involved in a friendly conversation if this does not please you than you aren't forced to be apart of the conversation. That simple, lol.

I was just enlightening you as to the fault in your reasoning. Scouts are made for Scouting primarily. good scouts can slayslay niggas cold all day erryday, if you can't do that yet, then you're just not a slayslay. Sticking to doing scout things and practice the dakka and one day you'll be as hardcore as them OG beast scouts. Look, I don't mean any offense broda. Just going from my experience as an HMG against Good scouts. I shoot them and they split in like a second flat outta my los or range and peck me with ARs or Lasers.

got 27 kills with this the other day

militia scout suit
militia shotgun
Nova Knives
Basic precision enhancer
Militia profile damp

and im garbage, but with all my skills in stealth and scanning i get a very nice advantage over other people. for me a sniper rifle is wasted on something so fast, agile and stealthy. think of yourself more like a surgeon, a shotgun surgeon

So for the little scanner thingy can you just spam it? or is there cool down? How exactly does it work? I just kinda wanna know what I am getting into before putting skills into it while adding conversation toward the topic for other Scouts or anybody who has these same questions.

The scanner is passive. The active ones are on vehicles. And people don't really know precisely how it works yet. You have to mess with it yourself, but I"m pretty sure it corresponds to the V on your tacnet, although a few disagree with me on that.

Care to name some beast OG scouts? Could you maybe have some come in here and give a small paragraph or so with good advice how to play it correctly? Or what exactly is the Scouts sole purpose in the game?

Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane from STB wreck wherever they are.
My Broda Obi from IE is quickly becoming too scary for me.

I've ran into a few that have killed me consistently with LRs from range. Cannot recall their names as I have not encountered them often.
