I am just wondering how scouts are doing.Anyone adv or proto care to share?
I have been playing scout today and it seems when it works,it REALLY works.But then there are matches that just make ya wanna delete the fitting lol.Kind of hard to gauge the class right now with me not having much in it.
sooo ya.How are they at higher level,and what are any known plans for the scout class in the future?
Thanks! ^_^ |

What scouts have in store for the future is large maps. When large maps are introduced, a scout will be something that scanners (which will become much more prevalent on larger maps) can not easily detect.
Currently, it's all about the light frames. The maps are too condensed so scanning is almost obsolete, because with maps so small, you're bound to run into the enemies.
At a higher level, you have so much more fitting capabilities (not compared to medium frames though). But last build I was able to stack complex shield extenders basic plate and basic reps on an ADV scout (I can probably still do it just need Shield Extender level 5) and let me tell you it was a god fitting. And that was just on the ADV.
It can definitely be a hit-&-miss suit though. Currently, my methods really involve either fast piercing strikes or hit and runs and quite often those methods will not complement the battle at hand, where it's a long arduous trench-warfare gun fight.
Just had an amazing match.Prevented two hacks with RE's.After playing peekaboo with someone in a door way I crouched right beside the entrance and charged my nova knives,when he came in,DEAD.Got many shotgun kills though I am still not great with the shotgun. Oh so fun. |

Shotty GoBang wrote:Like Survival Horror games? Slap on a scout suit and jump into a planetary conquest match. Search the Forums. Lots of "scout broken" threads with detailed explanations. My advice? Stay away. Unless you're running Nova Knives  . Sadly, the suit simply isn't viable at higher levels when fighting organized opponents. Scout/shotty was an awesome build in Chromosome. Fingers crossed that CCP brings it back in Uprising. - Shotty GoBang PS: Bojo always has great feedback, and I defer to his expertise should he disagree with the above caveat.
I am def running knives lol,they are badass.I am having issues getting used to them though.If I am lucky I will get 2-4 kills in a skirmish match with them.Right now,just playing matches that don't matter and dicking around,I do like logi and scout.But I think I will wait a good while before spending any more points and messing myself up later.Time to stockpile em until some more class tinkering is done.

In PC matches, less so.
edit - in Chromosome I ran PRoto assault with mass driver. And then one day I put a mass driver on a scout. And wrecked all kinds of hell. I didn't spec into MD in Uprising because they nerfed both the MD and the scout (you needed both equipment slots for ammo).
I am tempted now and then to go back to scout/MD. Maybe one day I will. I used to be the only one...
I am a good ways off from PC so that isn't too much of a concern at the moment.I wish I was around in the beta,but my fault I wasn't.
