Sadar will always be my fav I just love surprising benos by running towards them then running back if you do it right it’s great for making the benos panic and move back it’s kind of funny

If anything the cloak makes you even easier to pick out of a crowd it’s pretty obvious it’s just a blurry character sprite

B18 easy. STOP USING THE GL AS A PRIMARY THOUGH. Both B18 and Pyro are support weapons as opposed to anything. Both of them can single handedly stop a charge. The big problem is that in the wrong hands it often stops the WRONG charge. Countless times ive seen good pushs get stopped or men get cut off and die because a pyro decided to try and lead a charge, flamer hissing. Next minute theres a sea of green in front of the marines who get to watch the critted crusher get extinguished and dragged away as a Rav moves in to attack with that sweet sweet fire buff. And b18 can be bad when you forget that theres no shooting around walls with it and it bounces into the middle of the squad once you learn firing angles for her though shell be your best "I want to stunlock those 6 benos" friend. Cool effect now with the explosives update.

B18 is for the armor, GL is for when you need to stop a charge. Annoy req for an HPR primary or go with a standard marine weapon. B18 and flamer are two that its never wasted on. unless theyre just that bald in which case GG lad it wont matter if you give them ol' painless with a CHIMP70 secondary and Apesuit
Noxus Poppy is bae.

I may do stupid shit sometimes, but were marines its what we do. Always saving, rarely saved. Piss lead and blow shit up until you die. Rinse and repeat.

I have never even commented about pyro so uhm what?


If someone relies on the cloak they suck at scout spec.

Personally I take the cloak because it can be useful in certain situations, but I dont rely on it. It's utility, nothing more. Xenos that spot you with the cloak spot you anyway with your helmet and M4RA

On a side note: something allways dies inside of me when I see scout specs shooting with standard ammo at xenos and using the M4RA like a normal rifle.

The whole point of the M4RA is to dish out powerful shots not use normal ammo I mean I use the gun just for the Ap/Impact rounds you can use its fucking great

The best Specialist loadout? They all have a place and use but personally i steer towards Sniper or SADAR
But a few rules i play by as a specialist that might help you achieve greatness are:
Hand out everything you don't absolutely need and disguise yourself as a PFC. Get basic tools and claymores if you can. If you lose your weapon or its not well suited for the task at hand become a budget smartgunner. Only take fights you can win and avoid leading the charge. You are much more valuable than you think.

SCOOOOUUUUUUTTT

- Gr8 gun, BFA on it makes it a fairly deadly gun with a bigger burst.
- Very accurate, just relies on the user to hit shots
- You actually have a powerful pistol
-Cloaking ability
-Night vision
-You look tacticool

Might have to see what Pyro is all about though, I haven't tried it.

scout rifle can no longer take BFA but it can take angled grip + suppressor which is the bees knees

typically if you play it smart and ditch the cloak since it's of dubious utility in a regular round, you can bring a rifle with 3 AP mags from your vendor + a free attachment like RDS for it

night vision and scope + loading a regular round and special mag or vice versa is a very powerful combo
