So which is in your opinion the best scout weapon? - Games

FaN you guys don't know what you're missing out on, the scattergun can't exploit force jumping

Can't decide between Shortstop or scattergun

im absolutely terrible with the shortstop but im much better with the scattergun i like that it does more damage at close range. the shortstop slows you down and has faster firing speed, but i just prefer the scattergun. i also switch between bonk, CaC and pistol, i use bonk more on 2fort and CaC and pistol more on arena. and boston basher + CaC on medieval

Force of Nature with Sandman.

Of course is the Scattergun.

I like the FaN because it's good for hitting a target and then running, reloading, and then attacking again.

I try to avoid playing as scout due to my genetic tremors...(my hands shake slightly, but uncontrollably) BUt if i had to pick which one of these guns was the best it would have to be the scattergun. The six shots helps an awful lot with me not every shot is going to hit, so its best to have a lot of ammo. I usually stick to pistol for secondary, great for striking before you get in range with the scattergun, should your plans to flank the target without being seen gone a rye. And for melee I enjoy the sandman, great for making sure those natascha heavies wont stop your escape.

Shortstop is okay if you can aim, it does less damage per shot than the scattergun and fires only four shots, so it's pretty bad in close combat. When I played with it just for completion's sake I pulled mad milk with it since it's incompatable with the pistol, and the best strategy I found with it was spraying them with the milk from short-medium range and blasting them with it, on average I was getting around 30-50 damage per blast so I was dealing a fair bit of damage. It's not effective against soldiers or heavies though, unless you use the CaC with it. I like the accuracy though, while you have to be stupid to use it at long range, it does allow you to get in around 10 damage per shot at long range, which means by the time you close the distance to optimum range they'll have be softened up a bit. The only thing I really hate is how it uses pistol ammo, which makes using the pistol a poor choice because you'll eat up the SS ammo. :frown:

Primary: Scattergun Secondary: Bonk Melee: Holy Mackrell

Lots and lots of polls. I prefer the Scatter, saved my ass loads of time when I needed that extra ammo.

I choose the candy cane + shortstop because it does the same damage as the scattergun but with faster reload.

The shortstop, to me, is probably the most useless weapon in the game. It does such little damage that if you are up against a heavy of soldier, you might as well run away. The fast reload and rare of fire do not compensate for the puny damage.

natascha

Not to sound like a bitch or anything but the shortstop is overpowered, you basicaly have the power of the FaN in a pistol, kinda retarded I personal like the FaN because you have to get up close and personal :D (Thats if i ACTUALLY played scout)

I've been pretty fond of the FaN lately, Force Jumping is quite useful
