So, finally decided to pick the game up recently, and really enjoying it. But, I do have to admit, I’m a little rusty with shooters in general, and the scout role is pretty chaotic sometimes.
Anyone have advice/tips/reliable guides they prefer for the scout class specifically?
What kinds of things do scouts do, especially newbie ones, that kinda bug you? What are the things a really good scout does that marks them as a really good scout?
So far, I find myself focusing kinda heavily on combat just because it’s an obvious thing I can do, and zipping behind a bug to blast it in the ass with a shotgun is really fun. I assume that’s not really my #1 job though. I keep our cave lit up pretty reliably, but should I be doing more … actual scouting I assume?
Bring heightened senses and field medic.
Enter a room before the rest of your team, shoot a couple flares and clear any leeches.
Learn to kite enemies. Kite them into your team during swarms, kite them away when you need to revive a teammate.
