My squad was camping that room between B and the CRU and were doing fine until this Minmatar scout jumped in the railing and leaped through the window pouncing like a hungry cheetah. In that short moment, he carved up our entire squad plus 2 unfortunate blueberries like Julia Child carving up a turkey. He got us a couple more times during that battle until we were fearfully in a tightly packed formation, back to back.... and he still got us two more times!
Minmatar scouts should be handled with the most delicate care of attention, when you see one roaming the battle field, don't just let it go unknown, announce loudly to squadmates that there is a minmatar scout suit, especially if it is a proto, they will get behind you, and they will kill you with their weapon of choice, the nova knife. Mentally prepare yourself for that sort of threat. |

Mentally prepare yourself for that sort of threat. Or you could just gently tap them with your weapon. They're made of paper.
In my experience, they kill me before my melee animation activates, that or it completely misses thanks to how melee damage is applied, usually i spray bullets in a hopeful attempt that it'll either A. Make them go away, B. Kill them with a few hip fired shots that actually land. |
