6 Tips To Make You A MASTER Scout

True Fact: All scout mains play scout because it feels like odm gear from attack on titan

Play scout get a trash engineer...
Play engineer get a trash scout...

Is there a reason to use slow down or cryo over, say, stun sweeper? Other than that you can only have one stun sweeper at a time?

A dreadnought egg spawned in the same room as a corruptor, so i told everyone to set up in another area. Then i broke the egg and grappled out of the room and back to my team

I've been playing as the scout exlusively in both co-op and solo and he's been an absoulte blast to play

in the worlds of famous video game character the heavy "think fast chuckle nuts!"

#7 If you're not sure what to do, go look for Nitra.

Dont use the light tool it barely does dmg 👁️👄👁️

A little note I'd like to make here is that praetorians are actually not a priority for Scout. They may be fairly deadly if you get caught by one, but they're easy to spot and easy to evade (even for those without a grappling hook). Leave those to the gunner and driller. Enemies like acid/web spitters, mactera, and septic spreaders are a much higher priority and much easier for you to deal with as a Scout.

Scout with see you in hell and vampire works kinda well for me. Playing hazard 3 and for some missions 4 it helps with crowd control whilst healing

If scout don't play with deep pockets build - he's useless in missions without Mule. Because his main role - gather everything inside that large f**king caves as fast as possible. Especially Nitra and Minerals for crafting.

during storms of sand and rain, shoot flares at the ground to enhance visibility of incoming bugs for yourself and teammates. shooting them at ceilings and walls will have most of their light be obfuscated until the storm ends.

Great video, you are really cranking them out man.

These videos are very well made and to the point with minimal fluff. Thank you from a newbie.

Is that the season 4 pay skin on your weapons?

You forgot advanced Scout tricks like the "Zipline Pickaxe Smash and Grab" and the "Rocket Boots Double Swing". Or is that another video?

Scout Golden Rules
- Light it up
- Finish the Secondary
- Get (all) the Nitra
- Reach the Dropship alive

That's it. It's that easy to play Scout well. Everything after that is icing on the cake.

Can’t wait for 6tips for the Gunner! Good job with those, keep going!

The scout has a low floor but a high ceiling. A good or bad scout player can drastically change a teams dynamic. Good video J.

thrown flares inherit your momentum, so if you throw a flare while grappling, the flare gets flung much faster and further than if you threw it at a standstill. this can be helpful if you’re out of/low on flare gun ammo and need to light up a hard to reach area like the ceilings of large caves that could hold minerals or long stretches of tunnels between the larger caverns

Some tips from a 2700+ hour scout main.
-Nobody notices a good scout, but everybody notices a bad one. It's a thankless job, but an important one.
-If you're not almost out of flares by the time the first resup is called, you're not using enough flares.
-Put faster recharge on your pick axe. Everything else is useless, for the next point.
-Platforms are a luxury, not a necessity. Do not depend on them. Learning the grapple + power strike is invaluable (this is why I said faster recharge, the aoe perk does NOT make a bigger hole). If you're not a master at it, load up a haz 1, find a good wall, and practice until you are. Eventually, platforms will do nothing but get in the way.
-Build synergy is important. We don't have a "hold down trigger, point away from face, kill everything" option. Make sure you're primary compliments your secondary. Good example: electric reload GK2 and trifork volley boltshark with magnetic shafts.

And last but not least: Special Powder is the absolute BEST overclock in the game and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.

Break red sugar that's high up for your teammates

Here's a handy technique for Scouts I learned called the Snap Grapple. Suppose you are playing scout and the fourth to join you is another driller or you are playing solo in Onsite Refining, and you are having Bosco fill out the pipeline (he can do that) how do you mine those high up resources that are flush against to wall? The answer is mid-air power attacks with your pickax. The key to the technique is to let go of you grapple part way to the target and the power attack. If done right it will make a hole you can stand in to di to or hind the resource. The timing can vary depending on loadout of you grappling hook and it does take practice. It is easy to do in Sand Blasted Corridors or into Morkite.

Engi Platform are still great, especially for resources in to ceiling, but now if for some reason you don't have one it's not a mission fail. Oh, and you can also use this against melee weak enemies too like breaking Brundle armor or a powerful strike against the heart of a Tyrant Weed. This version I call the Snap, Grapple, Pop!
