Title says it all. I would like to see the scout receive a buff to make them more of a stealth class, quieter footsteps and running sounds, fast activation and less energy draining cloaking, and slightly faster and near fully quiet crouching footsteps. What do you all think?
Scout being changed to a stealth class

The Scout Class, when mastered, is one of the hardest bastards to beat in this game as it is. It has infinite thermal vision, moves like a cheetah on amphetamine and is a general nuisance to Fireteams. I think Scout should be last in line for any improvements to the Predators.
Samurai Predator needs a rework, especially as it was a paid DLC and we got sold a lemon.
Next, our thicc boi Beserker Class needs a serious buff. He’s literally that chubby kid on the Basketball squad who’s always benched.
A buff in damage resistance all round for every class.
Then, and only then should we consider changing the Scout.
Just my 2 cents.

negative… gets melted faster by most good FTs. Really has issues with surviving FT engagements. Elder is the new scout

Just add passive ranged damage buff to Scout, give or take 10-15%.
It’s hands down the worst Pred class in game or it shouldn’t ve existed at all.

I’m talking about people who actually know how to use the Scout. Players like @Kid_Scoutz who I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of going up against a couple of times, who I’m pretty sure could defeat most premades. He plays the Scout the way it was intended, as do many others. Never still, always moving unpredictably, chipping away at FT health, creating confusion and just being a general pain in the ass😈

With all due respect I gotta call bullshit on this. Right now berserker and samurai are the worst in the game hands down. While scout does have the lowest health it is still far more mobile than any class and has several good perks to it essentially making it slightly worse or better depending on your point of view to the elder.
Zerker and samurai have such shit stamina, stamina regen, energy, & energy regen that they are essentially useless in confrontation since they can’t cloak for long and don’t have as long a use of the PC as a result and can’t go more than one hit in on melee otherwise they aren’t leaping out. Unfortunately for them they’re meant to be the melee predators but as we all know melee has become pretty useless against anyone with a modicum of skill.

Melee is still viable if you know how to melee cancel and bunny hop.
High health allows zerkers to soak damage when retreat before getting melted by PC snipers.
There are just too many time I took out/SW Scouts while they are leaping with my bolt action rifle.
Zerk and samurai can’t leap after a melee combo forcing them to cut it short and bunny hop away while soaking all that damage whereas with scout you can do the same with better results however you have to be mindful of your health or at least who’s near you/aiming at where you are. If you’re able to precisely decimate a leaping scout that is a much smaller target than the other two then sniping those two would be even easier especially considering they can only leap once or twice.
Scout isn’t good against premades with all the buffs and damage fireteams put out and with how long this game has been out fireteams are used to leaping and the fact that you cant change how fast you fall or change directions mid leap makes it a easy shot from assault rifles and snipers since you fall at the same speed everytime. Elder is definitly ten times better beter health has one less leap than scout and has more cloak time. Scout only has cloak for 55 seconds so you’re constantly exposed and with little health and with the low amount of health and how good premades and really players are in general now its really rough. The strategy with scout is to chip away at the fireteams resources throughout the game to where about time you finish them off they dont even have a chance for reinforcements but also at this point nowadays fireteams have put alot of damage on you with the lmg or if someone has a sniper thats 30% of your life and youll usually feel that sniper shot at the very end of your leap since its the same fall time snipers just aim right below your legs and hit you falling into the shot. Scout is deadly against not good fireteans with low sensitivity and bad reaction times but a good fireteam doing 360 and paying attention to leaps its a gg. People use to be trash back in the day and you could trade because theyd miss most of their shots and couldnt follow the jump patterns now you trade you’re losing like 15-20% on quick shots into leaps and futhermore getting shot at the end of the leap.
Ps. Samurai pred is the worst pred in the game 🤣

@VENN7eance Thank for the kind words. It’s something I’m not use to seeing on here. I really appreciate that comment. It means SO much seeing positivity like this.

nah bro
Yeah bro
when your getting sniped across the map and the ft can do more auto dmg… they will not lose track of a scout… no matter how much he jumps or tries to be sneaky.
