Predator Scout & Bow

#1

Hey,
IMO the Scout needs some love, MS and Stamina aren’t that game changing for the Scout who doesn’t benefit from anything else. It have more down sides: less health, less gear and less energy than all the other Predators in the game. While being an interesting idea of a squishy but more agile Predator, I don’t think it works that well.

On the other hand, I feel (again, personal opinion) that the bow doesn’t apply much pressure while being almost as hard as the plasma canon to pull off, it is far to be as rewarding.
There might be some possibilities to bring those two on a more viable level; maybe by giving the Scout the passive ability to draw the bow faster; or just to have a small bonus to distance dmg (on top of the perk Down Range)…
Something to make it worth playing.

Right now, playing as Scout feels like a chosen debuff we put among ourselves by picking this Predator over the other two. Maybe I’m just using it the wrong way, but that’s how I feel about it.

They should definitely add the down range perk as a staple when you choose scout instead of a perk. He is REALLY squishy, so most times it is ranged attacks from the trees. It does say in the description “favors ranged attacks as to not get too close.” With low health, who is rarely going for the kill unless its behind some cover so you don’t get lit up as scout? So I think it’s a good argument that he should just be able to deal more damage with ranged weapons since that’s his specialty. Cause rn it is almost like a handicap choosing scout. But he is really fast though. Good for running away for second wind. Which is pretty cool.

Is it just me or does scout need to be allowed to carry more tools. I mean after all it is a scout class predator which means it does the tracking.
