Your low health.
Preds get melted enough as is don’t need to make it worse.

To add on to this the benifits of the scout are short lived.
Stanima is important but no need to overkill it when we have a perk thay can give Vikings and Zerkers scout stanima but no perk that can make a scout as tanky as a Hunter let alone a zerk.
Movement speed is null since leaping is the superior movement option (on console at least)
Low gear is aweful
High perk points are pointless when the hunter literally is 3 points off.
And infinite heat vision is niche at best due to the lack of detail you have in heat vision causing a ton of collision.
The basic gist is
1your hp is so low you can’t effectively trade it unless you force yourself to lock out perk slots for big pouch/impen+height adv
2your speed is only marginally faster than city hunter it’s within a 5% difference
3 you can’t have BT which is the single best gear item in the game
4 having high stam is worthless when leaping is suicide against higer tier sniper players and against mid tier players they track leaping easier so it’s a worthless stat block
5Having infinite thermal is meaningless when a high tier players can take it away from you or just use a gear item to make it worth less

Scout Pred is Best Pred Hands Down.
HERES WHY
1st off most versatility in terms of perk building as it has 15 points.
2nd off fastest and most agile with best natural stamina and recovery and fastest natural energy recharge.
3rd has a passive Predkour increase which is great and can be further increased to make the scout fly through the trees like a ghost.
You may try to say they have shit gear but thats only because otherwise they would be too good,
And other than heals no other gear item is really needed for scout, traps are useless no FTM can outrun you, trackers are nice but scout has energy recharge while in thermal and also while cloaked if you use Mod Res. Audio decoys might be the most useful to cover your sound BUT with that speed and agility you can keep them guessing without them.
They also have the fastest stamina recharge when entering melee state.
Bottom line of all the classes it takes the most forethought and skill to effectively use Scout and win which is why its the best but hardest to master.

You ever see that one Reddit Video that had the Scout with Fearless, Ironside and Impenetrable on?
if you want to play against decent FTs then just message me,
I will show u the opposite.
Scout is garbage. Alpha is so much better. The only good thing is 15perk points.

Yeah if your trash as Predator maybe. Other than that they suck
Honestly I think audio decoys are more useful than traps now. Traps are great against potatoes. And MAYBE you can snag somebody at exfil. But decoys are almost always useful I find.

Another man if culture I see you and @REYNOSO_FUA11 love those audio decoys.
Last night rey used them and they were working for the most part but he had to sweat extra hard in our private matches last night
Oh fuck yeah the sweat was real, fuck your field medic btw lol. I find bear traps to be annoying to use tbh, they can be easily destroyed, and they’re so damn cumbersome to deploy. When FT deploys their mines it’s a small toss that doesn’t slow them down at all with pred you slow down to a crawl and and you can’t place them until you hit that sweet spot but as any decent player can tell you if slow down or stop you’re done. Audio decoys are fun to use since they allow me to hop around the FT without them being able to pinpoint my exact location before I fire off a shot, they also bring all the stargazer boys to the yard within a 50 mile radius for some reason so there’s that benefit.

I mean that is your opinion sir and I respect it I’m sure in your exp that may be the case but at least in mine my overall success rate with my two Scout builds is higher than when I play any of the other Preds and its because I can constantly move and reposition
I run them both with Adrenal, Long Jump, and Mod Res. And that was before the recent buffs.
Mind you I have gone up against some pretty vicious squads before and its been about 50/50 as always, either I get them all or a few of them/all of them get away on the chopper. And thats more to do with me avoiding SW at all costs and playing touch and go exclusively with Scout, not afraid to say I will GTFO if I’ve underestimated the Fireteam or made a critical error in judgement and come at it a different way if possible.
I make no claims at being the best out there or even one of the best but I enjoy the Shit out of this game and Scout is My Favorite 😜
Also P.S. I would love to play you guys I’m always down to test my mettle against good FT
I play PS4 only though crossplay has been off for a while now so sorry if that means we can’t as a result

I’ve been using modified reserves, down range, and dithered lens prior to the latest patch I used cooling synch over MR. my new scout however I went with a more stamina focused build with adrenal, long jump, and dithered lens.

Nice! I use Mod Res. Because it makes the already fast energy regen like lightning and I rarely use/used PC only because up until the PC FC buff I only used the PC as a Get The Fuck Back weapon with my Scout, so the laser being visible or not was inconsequential but even now I focus more on the bow…when it works…😒
On one of my Elders I run him bare bones
Shoulder PC and Wristblades only Adrenal, Mod Res, and Dithered.

That’s a good build. Weapons?

Nobody considers you specifically bad. The class is underwhelming in general cause of the laughably low health.
But at least Scout is better than the Samurai.
