Scout weapons suck

[Grievous-Tan]

Most of them needs either rework or straight up damage buff. Scout should be independent class, not a support class.

[OREGRIM]

All classes are mutually supportive. Crossbow with pheromone is very good.

[Deadweight]

Scout is as independent as the other classes, just with a different weakness. Every class supports the others.

Scout has some of the highest single target damage weapons.

DRAK-25 with Thermal Exhaust Feedback and Zhukovs with Embedded Detonators have busted balancing, they're OP.

I guess "gunner sucks" has gone out of vogue, now it's Scout that sucks?

it's the forum rotation, seems like it's scouts turn now

in a little while it'll cycle over to engie then driller, or driller first then engie after, then back to gunner

I smell clown award fishing.

The cost of unmatched mobility and speed is bad AoE damage, Scout would be OP if he had as much crowd control as the other dwarves.

Scout cannot delete an entire swarm with 12 iq and 1 button push. Played properly he is quite good, learn to aim and position yourself properly and you'll put most gunners and drillers to shame.

That being said, most guns and OCs do indeed suck. Drak OPA and Zuks embedded dets are what I use.

i use scout every time i play solo
works fine for me lol

[Spacewalker]

Not agree. I like all weapons for scout and it well balanced. Yes, scout almost have no AOE weapons, but that's exactly what I expect from this class.

Scout struggles with large swarms, but that isn't where Scout is supposed to shine. His main objective is to single out high priority targets like: Slashers, Mactera, specifically Tri-Jaws, Web and Acid Spitters, Praets, Oppressors, Brood Nexus, Leeches, Naedocyte Breeders, and Patrol Bots. All of his weapons and tools allow him to quickly dispose of those enemies, while the Gunner and Driller are mostly dealing with the main trash mobs, of course you can still kill trash with Scout. He's just less effective than the other classes at doing that.

There are many builds you can use with Scout, GK2 with BoM or AISE. Boomstick with Special Powder works pretty well. Or M1000 with Hipster. Scout has the best mobility in the game and if you pair his Grappling Hook with SP Boomstick, he can get anywhere on the map without the help of anyone. And this also means Scout, if they're good, will almost never go down. His other main priority is getting minerals and providing light. Having the best mobility is a trade-off for having the worst offensive capabilities, he was designed this way. And personally I enjoy playing Scout, and I think the way he is now is perfectly fine.

We sorta had it a week ago with one dude calling scout weak because the flaregun did not have infinite ammo... Just waiting for the inevitable "engineer sucks" to make its debut next lol.

[Rocketman]

homies complaining he cant just run off and solo everything as scout..... funny stuff my guy lol

[RaindropperinG]

Hehehe, time to abandon thread.

[Chibbity]

If Scout could wave clear, every team would be 4 Scouts; since he needs literally nothing from the other classes.

He has great utility and insane mobility, thus his weapons are a bit weaker; it's called balance.
