This loadout is pretty much my standard Scout loadout. This one is focused on freezing, stunning, and shocking enemies before dispensing them quickly, which makes for a decent Multiplayer support role.
Weapons:
GK2 Combat Rifle: With the Gas Rerouting overclock, I can get a slightly faster rate of fire and the fastest reload possible, making for a decent general purpose weapon to dispatch most enemies while the secondary weapon and throwable provide status effects.
Zhukov Dual SMGS: Cryo Minelets is an amazing overclock once you're used to how it works. You can spray the ground before yourself and let a swarm walk into the minelets and freeze them before finishing them off with the GK2. In the case of a Pretorean or Oppressor, or any other high value target, you can safely freeze most of them by shooting at them and form the minelets around them or underneath them, thanks to the Tier 4A mod, Blowthrough Rounds.
Stun Sweeper: This throwable is great for the effect of stunning and electricuting multiple enemies, completing this loadout's supportive role in Multiplayer missions.
Perks:
- Born Ready
- Thorns
- Resupplier
- Hover Boots (Solo) / Field Medic (Multiplayer)
- Beast Master*
*I like to use Beast Master for the Scout because if the Scout can light up the ceiling with his flare gun and make it easier to spot cave leeches (which is the main incentive why I use Heightened Senses on a lot of my loadouts), then Beast Master is a more fitting choice.
