  • his leaps are insanely far and high

  • can leap 3-4 times on one stamina bar

  • max energy bar, heat vision doesnt even drain energy

  • runs faster

  • escapes in second wind easier

  • ridiculous ranged damage with bow and plasma caster (easy 1 hit downs capable)

  • immune to parry lol (ranged attacks)

  • resistant to most all gunfire at long distance except sniper rifles

Uhm, scout has no effect on how much dmg you deal with ranged weaponry nor doesnt come with some magical immunity to sniper rifles. Right?

Scout is great if you enjoy being mobile and harass them from afar. Dunno how viable it is on ps4 due to its limitations in quick and accurate aiming, but in PC it is fine for a harassing class.
The only issue being the janky movement system in general, sometimes being stuck on weird objects or general initoation of leaps and climbing being clunky and not precise.

yeah I know, the damage comes from the ranged damage perk that you run with this build lol.

and i never said he had immunity to sniper rifles, quite the opposite I said they were the counter to this pred build

I also play on PC so i cant really comment on issues the ps4 version has

Then it has literally no connection with the scout class to begin with, as the same perk can be used for the 2 other ones.

Why include it into the list of pros of scout when it is a generic perk available to all classes?

Edit.
Ah sorry, didnt notice “except” sniper rifles, read it as included for some reason.

mmmmhm totally agree! I legit use the same build with Scout
It’s so satisfying nailing headshots with the bow – couple that with its mobility and energy efficiency and it’s just - fun n_n

because this is the class you run if you want to spec ranged damage? it has the best energy management for the plasma caster. Running ranged damage perk on berserker is counter productive, on regular hunter its okay since he can be played as hybrid melee/ranged.

What’s your Scout build?

I figure Down Range is a must. I wanted to use Net Gun+Bow with my bow. I’m also using the energy overload recovery perk and the energy regen perk. Anything else you’d recommend?

I use Bow, Disc, Down Range, the energy restore speed and increased reserves perks. can pretty much fire full charge plasma non stop as long as cloak and vision are off. disc for medium range or people camping inside buildings. bow for stealth. never get close enough for the net gun to be useful really.

When I had success with him I think I ran the extra pouch, less damage while in trees(as i figured I’d do most of my attacking from there) and maybe the added range damage.

I’m not saying it was a go to perk set up, but I seemed to do well enough. I was even able to do a couple hit and run melee attacks. I’ll prob use him some more definitely.

I feel like scout should inherently have the more damage with ranged weapons since he’s a scout. Berserker has brute strength. I think it should be fair to have h ok m do more damage with ranged

I was skeptical after I first tried the scout but now I am coming around.
I swear you seem to take way less damage in stealth unless someone can tag you with a sniper rifle.

I would love to watch your content if you decide to make videos of your gameplay.

imo the scout should have the best range and stealth of all predator classes to make up for its low HP, while berserker has the weakest stealth and ranged and the Hunter has a balance of both. if they gave these benefits would help better with class differences

I think I’m going to start some this week. Need to quit stalling and riding the fence. my current sub base is almost all dragonball fans so it may be a weird squeeze, but I love this game so much lol.
