Hey! Good to see you back! I honestly thought you'd be taking a break until season 3 but I'll take this too! Hope everything is going well irl.

Managing crowds is all about positioning and kiting bugs, every class has CC some are just better at it. This is a great video and hopefully the people I hear complaining about the scouts lack of CC watch it! I’m an engineer main but on the rare occasion I play scout I like to bunch the bugs up with pheromones then ignite them all with the drak or flaming bolts

Corraling the bugs together has always been the bread and butter of the scout...it's just now, for the first time, I feel Pheromones are a better choice than IFG. A year ago, if you told me I'd be saying that, I would have told you that you were crazy. The buff back around U34 to the Pheromone grenades, plus the addition of the crossbow Pheromones just makes it crazy good.

He's back! Looking forward to watching my weekly dose of good DRG content. You were my first DRG content creator, and I still remember fondly your videos with the little tidbits of info, funny remarks and good gameplay. Here is some Glyphid Slammer, looking forward to what you'll do in the future. Take care friend, Rock and Stone!

Firebolt is the best crowd control built on Grunts level that Scout ever has but which weapons well synergy with this OC will make your loudout become more vulnerable to a swarm of flying enemies like Jellies and Mactera, you loadout become less efficient to Big Health nor High Value Targets.

Pheromone grenades are way underrated, they're so fun and they reduce pressure so well. Idk if they should be nerfed, but they could do with scaling down a bit in solo and scaling up a bit in 4p IMO

That's a really good point. They are much more powerful in solo play -- and a weapons power imbalance is not that big a deal in solo-- but ultimately, phew, I 'm not a big Scout EDD solo player, but I've soloed the last 3 with this build and it was stupid easy. It's great in teams as well, just not quite as effective if your teammates are on the ball thinning out swarms quickly anyway. Plus, you have a LOT more ammo work with in solo.

So you're telling me I really need the Born Ready to reload my crossbow with quick reload upgrade and my overheat-based Drak-25? kek Jokes (and that perk) aside interesting build, I'll definitely try it out, tho I'm not sure if anything is going to cure my Shield Battery Booster addiction

Жыл бұрын
I take BORN READY with the crossbow when I can because it's glitched. Whenever I don't take Born Ready, half the time it won't reload unless I completely switch weapons and come back to it, then it takes about a second and a half for the bolt to appear in crossbow. It actually happened during the entire EDD last week when I was playing it in teams and it's been a pretty consistent bug for me since Season 2 started.

How does the second T4 upgrade work for this build on the crossbow? Bolts are no longer retrievable with the overclock on
@ScuzzMB
Жыл бұрын
Ya, that's always been fuzzy. It never states what "bolts no longer retrievable" means. Ultimately, if that's in the OVERCLOCK description, it applies only to bolts impacted by the OC. The pheromone bolts are still retrievable either manually or through the auto return. But I've had limited benefit from the retrievable bolts option, so I haven't been using it as much.

@@ScuzzMB Yea, I usually like kiting swarms while taking them out one by one (or more with bodkin bolts) and then just backing away with the speed boost to stay ahead. Even if I miss, the arrows light up, and the Scout doesn't have any issue reaching them during downtime if I actually need the ammo.

It's very strong in solo (though I'd take the M1000 over the DRAK for picking off ranged targets). In team games, your teammates will usually actively sabotage you, so it ends up being pointless to try more often than not. Then again, if you have to carry when everyone else goes down, it becomes a great build again.

I love a good Hipster build. But as I latched on to this pheromone build it started to pay off in dividends. I don't solo every EDD...but just for the heck of it, I've soloed and teamed the last 3 with this build as scout, it just holds in almost every situation. However, I've not given on up on Hipster because it's just fun to use. I actually did coverage of it a few months back here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mX9p0JuronWmhaw

Why do lootbugs die when you get close to them. Also very cool build
@ScuzzMB
Жыл бұрын
The IT'S A BUG THING perk makes lootbugs explode when you get close enough to them. It has limited value as a perk, but REFINERY missions have a lot more lootbugs. It's a great solo perk for REFINERY missions, but generally has limited value. I do take it in to Refinery and sometimes Salvage missions when playing with teams though.
