How to play Zoom Scout: - General Tactics - this is a build for Hazard 5 MP not solo play: Cryo nade then Burst damage with focus fire, or Boomstick. I use this tactic primarily on tanky or heavy hitters i.e. multiple praetorians, spitballers, whales. Kite whilst utilizing max pen, explained further below. Run (see hooks setting, your health matters not your shields - see armor settings). - Specific Tactics M1000: Will single tap web spitters, also grunts if you hit them in the weak spot. On focus fire mode it will kill acid spitters on a head shot (or ff body shot then single tap), grunts on a body shot but this is not entirely ammo effective, so best to use this on grunt hordes to best utilize the maximum penetrations of 3 whilst kiting hordes back and forth. Mactera spawns will be killed out right with a focus fired shot on their weak spot, or stunned if you miss the weak spot. Max pen can be effectively used on choke points (narrow entrances or narrow tunnels) and if you are losing control, then further supplemented by a cryo nade followed by boomstick or m1000 shots. Specific Tactics Hover clock: To avoid incoming fire from multiple Macs, jump, focus fire at the apex of your jump (pause mid air utilizing hover clock) release your shot (and kill hopefully) whilst the Macs also release their shots, and free fall to avoid incoming fire (works best at mid to long range distances from the enemy, can be risky at close range). This tactic is best used against small groups of Mac's. For large groups of macs just use your cryo nades as they can clear entire spawns. Specific Tactics room breaching: Light it up, snipe leeches, avoid fighting hordes at first, close on and prioritize spit ballers/whales and kill with cryo and boomstick, (optional: say EZ for added effect) retreat back to the team so to kite back your triggered hordes into their fire. Weaknesses: 1. I dont like to use heightened senses as I believe it too specific and there are better perks that can be used. So it is a risk to be aware of using the 'room breaching' tactic I outlined above. 2. This is not a solo play build, its MP specific.

Perks: I focus health over shields on my build and tactics so I take re-supplier (pretty good for solo also) to maintain it. Deep pockes as am Scout. I also focus to revive so I take field medic, and mod 2 on tier 4 of my suit. Beast master on unmodded haz 5 (pretty good on solo also). On standard haz 5 difficulty I really dont like to take Iron Will as I try force myself to operate on the principle of not getting downed. On modded difficulty then I usually take Iron will and field medic.
