DUST Search - Why does Scout only get one equipment slot?

QQ more. Logis are OP, you even get a sidearm and will go proto eventually.

Besides, how does a Scout with a nanoinjector hurt you? Most logis I know beg for someone else to run a needle to help THEM out when they die, but nobody will becasue with one equipment all scouts and assaults need their for something else.

How does a scout with an uplink hurt you? You can still put yours down and the whole team has better options.

How does a scout with a repping hive hurt you? Now he doesnt have to run back from the middle of nowhere to your position and beg for reps or ammo, you can stay on the heavy.

How does a scout with an active scanner hurt you? You will see ahead of time people coming at you, the scanner gets no WPs anyway, and you get all the benefit of intel without lowering your gun.

How does a scout with a rep gun hurt you? Oh wait, a scout would never run a rep gun because it's insane. So you get to keep your main bread and butter job all to yourself and soak up the triage points.

Oh, and like I said before, Scouts HAD 2 equip in Chromosome, this 1 equip thing is a brand new nerf with Uprising. It makes no sense because Scouts are worse at their jobs now while Logis are so OP people spec into it to be Assaults.

For the Active Scanning question above: current state of Profile Analysis is so short range and weak that a scout build cant actually see much better than any other class. The Active Scanner is miles better than passive scanning right now, and catches loads more people than a scout could on their own. In order to actually BE far forward intel you pretty much have to equip the scanner, or get within 30m of the enemy and risk being seen.

If my sentence sounds like QQ I apologize since that was not my intention, I tried to say that a suit dedicated to support should be better at it than a scout. None of those actions hurt me but undermine my purpose on the battlefield, why would I run around with my logi if I could do this faster with a scout? I ran a needle but turned out it was kinda broken and very few stay around for me to get a rep on them. And lastly, on my proto suit I get a sidearm slot and 1 equipment slot with 20 more PG and 117 CPU so it's nothing groundbreaking as equipments are kinda costly to fit.
