Loadout Guide

Scout's standard Deepcore GK2 lacks one thing : firerate. Thankfully there's an overclock just for that !

This is a great all-purpose rifle that can pick targets event at long ranges, as long as you control your fire and shoot bursts. It removes targets efficiently, and is great against swarms and tanks if you lay cryo mines beforehand. Praetorians will usually require 2 clips but it's a pretty good trade-off to saving your cryo nades for real emergencies.

Also it's an amazing combo to take out Spitballers : the piercing allows you to shoot through it to the ground, which is ideal placement to freeze, and your rifle will kill it in less than a clip.
