Cavalry Scout[]
The Cavalry Scout is the basic scouting and reconnaissance MOS. His invisibility skill allows him to travel the map unseen and do missions. Because his damage is rather low, he should focus on running away from threats or use frag grenades or other explosives to deal with them.
Scout / Vision[]
Talk with your team if you need to help with missions, focus on scouting for items or stay at the base and provide vision if not.
Skillbuild:
4x Scout Skills. 4x Soldier Skills, after that max Marksmanship (or Frag)
SI:
- TT,LA - the increased MS helps you travel the map faster and outrun most enemies
- HE - frees up an inventory space because you don't need to carry a Flashlight
- EN, IT - Keeps your energy up to maintain vision through flares and cams
Items:
- HK42, Mar M5 - if you feel the need for even more Movespeed take this, otherwise give it to the Medic and take a MAR M5
- OPA, Kevlar - gives you a little more survivability while out there
- Flashlight - since you don't have a light filter skills, you have priority on one of these
Aggressive Scout[]
This scout can at least do decent damage to all targets and only delays the traditional scout build by 1 level. Upon reaching level 12 you can do comparable dps to a rifleman w/o his specialties, and still have your superior movement speed and scouting abilities. Try to obtain an HK/Atlas and, if you can spare, 1 dps item (remember that you’re not a pure dps class, you’re just trying to make sure you can kill things that get in your way while doing typical scout duties).
Skillbuild:
1x Marksmanship, 4x Recon Skills, 4x Soldier Skills, 3 x Marksmanship
SI:
- ST - having the Steel Sabre Carbine is a must for this build
- HE, EN, MA
Items:
- HK42, Atlas
- any DPS items that are available
