This brings up a role no one really wants to be but is perfect for someone with limited mobility. The Commo Officer. If you are using radios, have each scout on a different frequency. The Commo Officer has either a radio to go with each scout or one radio on Scan Mode to listen for the scouts. They then relay the info to the front lines. This is a great job for someone who cannot move around very fast but has very good communication skills.
N1sm0 __ I’m aware, however to have one on hand even for just showing off similar to cosplay would be cool. As long as you don’t carry on to the field.
I find it amusing that stuff randomly disappears and reappears in the background. Like 2 extra Hammershots appearing at 1:41 and then disappearing at 2:05. (I know why you did it that way, but I still find it amusing. Sort of like playing a compare the two pictures game)
If i had to play the scout role: Holstered strife (mabye one of those magnetic holsters), no attachments. A Small-ish backpack, 2 accessable mags in the water bottle holding things, with extra ammo in the bag. Backup doublestrike just in a pocket
Just curious, and you may have covered this in a vid I haven't watched, but do you ever specify where you get your tactical gear? Vests, moly, etc. Sadly, we lost the only army/navy surplus store for 100 miles when Colonel Bubbies in Galveston closed. That's one thing I've always wondered was where to get drop bags, tactical belts, vests, and stuff that's not really "Nerf". Come to think of it, I haven't ordered a Cheaper Than Dirt catalog in a while.....
Better yet, use code. We have used codes as communications for centuries, and they don't fail until you have a traitor. This is why only a handful of people knows and listens to the code
There are 24v electric go-karts that go 15 miles an hour (24 KM/H), for those of a smaller build, assuming the event allows them (and for using them to carry Macguffins), they could be a fairly good way to get around quickly for the scouts. Mitch is making a gas-powered go-kart as a recon vehicle, but gas is more maintenance-intensive and can't be used indoors and is notably louder, and if you don't want zombies to hear you, electric is the way to go.
@@CaptainXavier Hope this doesn't come across as disrespectful, but a man of your size would probably be better off getting a gas-powered kart, because electric karts don't really like very heavy payloads (over 170 pounds, which most adult men are well over and I would reckon you're about 220) I would absolutely love to see the proton packs on the front though, perhaps you could connect them to the alternator somehow so they always have power!
@@nerfspartanEBF25 oh yeah, I would almost certainly need a gas powered one. Or one running on a massive set of daisy chained LiPos. (I mean electric cars exist after all)
@@CaptainXavier I really want a Chevy Volt personally, but that's a LOT of money. Though the main thing is getting motors that have the torque and wattage to take advantage of the extra power a lot of batteries would need- I'm sure you could definitely make a 96V, 3+KW Go-Kart build work, given your skillset, but just finding the motors to get you moving at faster-than-sprinting speeds would be a challenge. If you could do it and you find the motors that can do that, link me, I want to make a thing! If it would move you at decent speeds, imagine how stupid fast it'd move my small, skinny frame!
I use two desert pigeons and shellingtons pistol and spring thunder along side two modified airsoft grenades and a mini first aid kit cuz people get crazy when adrenaline is high
Captain, when I get around the sending you fan mail how do I convey to you that the letter is me speaking in character as opposed to me speaking to you in the comments?
Is Mini-Cap in the intro at 0:12 count as spotting him or is that him just below the SlingFire from 3:21 to all the way to the end of the vid? Looks like I wouldn't be a good Recon/Scout due to my limited mobility and my very prominent and physical presence would definitely give me, or my position, away (I use a manual wheelchair with an attached motorized power assist). Bang-a-rang Cap.
Captain! Handyman reporting! A question, Sir! When you're preferred role is VIP or asset protection, historically referred to as guardsmen, what loadout would you recommend, Sir?
Shoot the VIP and save yourself. But seriously, since they tend to always move really slow it is basically a moving "hild the position" but without the advantage of getting to choose you ground. So lots of ammo and the ability to engage multiple targets. So I would recommend 2 semi-auto mag-fed blasters and a boat load of mags.
The risk of someone eves dropping is there with radios to aid the zombies is there. What about the Auxiliary who are moles in the horde relaying info back to the humans?
Running it where? Most HvZ's don't allow melee? But for a blaster paired with swords I recommend either a Styfe or a Hammershot (or any of their variants)
Ragnaroctoberfest has allowed melee (bad idea...but they said it was ok so I carried) And by the end of the Last Stand I was down to an empty Auto-Stryfe and a sword. I will always carry a sword if they are allowed.
Time to get a Mavic mini and add it to my scout load out😂. Guess it will be good practice for the National guard. Can’t wait to see fly over a building and see 40 zombies running at me with the drone in the air😭😭
i think now that its out, the phoenix 2.0 is probably one of the best heavy recon blasters out there, you can carry quite a few mags since the mags are so small and light and its full auto.
Huh...I did accidentally editnitnout on this one. Also forgot to add "Recon" to the title page. That's what I get for cranking these out so fast. Stuff gets missed. With two errors I might actually take it down and reload...
Also, don't forget water and integrators! If you're going to run for the majority of the game, you'll sweat like a chimney (especially so in humid climates), so reintegrating salts and electrolytes is key ^^
@@CaptainXavier I know ^^ I watched it a few times xD But it's one of those things that folks should always be reminded. Our team captain every other training sessions reminds us to breathe while fighting and to drink afterwards, even if we've been doing tournaments for a while, now
Are bicycles allowed? Those would be tremendously hands for a lot of tasks, from ammo mule (city bike with front basket and side bags) to scout role (mountain bike)
At best a flywheel blaster at 120-130 fps will hit maybe 60-70 ft accurately. Not nearly far enough to require a scope. Having a pair of binoculars would be useful for a scout thought.
There are two reasons. In the hands of untrained people even foam weapons can be dangerous, especially against people who are sprinting at you wearing eye protection (imagine getting safety glasses smashed into your face full force) And in the hands of trained people they are WAY OP.
I am going to invent a new class called vanguard which serves as a guard for macguffins and players which is a mix of heavy, scout,infantry,demo,and sniper
The standard radio we use is the Boafeng BF888s but the UV5R is also viable. Pay attention to the AUX Facebook and you'll see in advance of big games that the Comms Frequencies will be posted.
