Nutshell: Do what your team excels least (mining on platform, grappling to mule, grapple to dodge spitballer, getting spreaders and warden where the LoS is cut

is it just me or do you have a finnish accent

Yo! Can you show your mod list pls? Thanks in advance

whats your opinion on the 5+?

21:00 its spelled "choose" but i would imagine english isnt your first language, talk about accent, thanks for the video

I cannot get enough of CT + double barrel

"Scouts three grenades" lmao. I always skip to grenade talks with scout builds to see what they think of rangs. If they suggest rangs, I leave.

9:08 this whole section looks like some doom gameplay

ahhh yes. advanced tips on how to get as far away from my team as possible (they give me the ick)

Thanks for making this! Scout is my least played class because I struggle to reach for the skill ceiling that makes him really effective. Essentially, I "get it", but I struggle to execute it. Question though: at 18:45 you talk about T4B causing CT to proc twice. Along side this, since the splash damage is half disintegrate half fire, does the fire half benefit from the TC by a significant amount? I've tested it and it seems like it does, but it's really hard to tell when everything is so fast.

Scout: "Aw damn, I dropped my keys somewhere on the floor and now I've gotta look for em." Also Scout: 9:27

I don't play modded, but I find the slow fall mod on scouts rifle is really good for negating fall damage while prioritizing HVTs.

I think Scout has great ammo economy. Then again I use electrified reload and am a railgunner main on RoR2 so I'm accustomed to not missing my shots, a reload being all I need for that single bullet on every bug to kill them. Paired with reload speed, speed on kill, and less sandwiches to eat, I will almost never run out of ammo, even in H5+.

Funny as hell to be told that the two weapons I use on scout are the worst. Oops! No wonder my firepower feels nonexistent.

16:27 EXACTLY why I like the boomstick

this isnt tf2

Disliked because i didnt like your accent :)

im not specially good as scout, and i dont play in high dificulties is ok for me to take the grav boots for dont take fall damage and make my way to grab minerals? or should i learn to dont use it

is it good option "born ready" while having a drak? it doesnt reload, and the bomstick and croswbow reload almost after every shot, is it worth it?

Why does everything look so stretched and bright and all that crap this is not a competitive game just play the damn game

Hell yeah!

Finally, a tutorial teaching me how to edge efficiently

Honestly the flare gun is what makes me feel so spoiled and hesitant to try out the other three classes. I can't imagine NOT being a Scout ever because the flare gun feels so necessary to complete a mission

i left an audible nooooo

how do you get your caves to look like that? also good guide man, well made

That missions completed screen is absolutely insane 😂

Thanks so much for making this video! A lot of really good information here that I'll be working to use in my gameplay. My only question would be what M1k build you recommend, as I've been experimenting a lot with different builds and I can't quite find one that gels with me. Amazing guide and looking forward to more spowder highlights!

lot's of valueble knowledge was contributed here. However, what i realy waited for the whole video long was to sensetive players about the importance of learning when NOT to shoot. During a swarm there are lots of times when just watching and keeping the eyes open for HVT to take them out asap is a lot more valueable to the team, then scout distracting himself by shooting at grunts or swarmers, which all other classes can take out more ammo efficient anyway.

Hey that's a great guide! There were some little tricks most good players use but nobody talks about. Also nice to see you play modded, you definitely squeezed out almost every bit from vanilla haha.

Taking notes

Love this deep look into scout and what he's capable of. Really enjoyed this with all the strategic oversight for WHY one does these things, along with specific instruction, good practices, and ways to do the next thing that has to be done. Scout CAN be the most strategically capable one in the team, and I really love how you show HOW to do that. And 13:19 was such a bonus, never was a truer thing said, and I laughed so hard at it. Loadouts are so much about how one prefers to play, but it's rare to find creators that treat them that way when explaining how and why to use the meta ones. Thanks for that.

Many thanks for the in-depth guide to being a master scout! I love how the video ended very abruptly when you were saying "I think I'm going to end the vid-"

What do you think about hipster. Also where are you from you have strange accent i dont mean anything bad im just curious

i have the flare smoke mod on to help me know if im doing a good job as scout lighting things up. if i see some flare smoke, its an immidiate sign that i forgor and need to light up again

Just don't kill yourself, saved you 30 minutes

Great video subbed

One thing I think you should've mentioned is that Scout is easily the class that cares the least about ammo economy, not because of the way he fights, or because of "muh DPS", but because of the Flare Gun. Flares are important. They let you see minerals, bugs, and the surrounding terrain, and is *_THE_* most important tool a dwarf can have, and I'll argue that "wasting" a resupply by taking it while your ammo's above 50% is worth it if it means getting Flares to shoot again. And trying to maximize resupply efficiency without the lighting from the Flare will likely get you killed. So while specing into ammo isn't bad if you're aim is bad or trigger happy, it's a lot more wasted on Scout since your resupplies are likely tied to your flare gun more than your weapons. I certainly felt it since I'm that guy, that can't aim and dumps my ammo into the nearest group of bugs, and I've found myself on many occations where I can really do with some Flares but I still have an overabundance of weapon ammo. I certainly don't feel this wanting from Engi and Gunner, and while I haven't really touch Driller yet(partly because I find it funny not to), I can tell that Drill Fuel isn't really that big of an issue for them. tl;dr Scout don't care about ammo mods as much as other classes due to their nature of not really being a fighting class, resupplies are more based around your Flare gun than your weapons. This isn't to say "Ammo=bad" on Scout, moreso you need to consider how quickly you go through Flares alongside your normal considerations of "Ammo vs Damage vs Everything else".

gotta love how spurrrg says crrrowd contrrrol ;) grrreat info too

Great video. I am not good enough at the game to give criticism unfortunately. However, I can say that I learned a significant amount from this video. Thank you for sharing your information. also commenting for the algorithm lol

You are a beautiful man

If you press sprint after swinging a pickaxe you can sprint as long as you hold m2, also pickaxe canceling for regular mining is literally useless, animation canceling is only useful for pickaxing ebonuts, enemies, the mentioned powerswings and then speeding up reloads by like 20%.

How to master scout? Easy You throw C4 at him and press the funny red button as driller

I’ve been a scout enthusiast for years. This is a great video

Great info, but I just want to point out that the zhukovs aren’t BAD. Depending on what kind of role you want to fulfill it also has its own use cases. Although I agree that it leans towards deleting swarms rather than picking off hvt’s it can synergize well with other weapons that are already good at taking down stationaries and ranged bugs. Here are my suggestions: - Gas recycling zhukovs pair well with AISE for taking down shellbacks and praetorians - embedded detonators and base m1000 for a more flexible role (crowd control and good single target dps) - Cryo Minelets and Bullets of Mercy gk2 for an elemental build

No discussion on embedded detonators at least? They melt high priority targets so fast and work at a decent distance.

Excellent video! Keep it up, love to see this kind of depth w/ focus on practical skills.

farm minerals, light up cave and focus revives is all u need to do to be liked by EVERYONE. ROCK AND STONE

> Me who has gold 3 going on platinum Hm yes I shall watch this guide on this class I've been playing for prob a hundred hours 🫠

I don’t use TEF on scout I run armor system with thorns. Shields come back relatively quickly if you are ever bitten or take fall damage while the thorns help you against swarmers.

Also, hitting enemies with the pick has a lot more animation lag, so canceling for those is much more valuable.
