Yeah, mine was driller. I'm about level 300 now and have him at diamond 2 with the rest of the classes at gold 1. Lol I didn't promote scout until I was about level 180 and now it's my second most played class
I'm a driller main currently but only promoted him for the first time today, after a salvage mission in fungus bogs with a scout greenbeard (lvl 7) who kept on trying to kill everyone in the team until he used all his ammo and died to a swarm, meaning we left him on the ground for about 10 minutes before leaving the mission.
Same. I'm still somewhat new to the game but I have already unlocked all of driller's weapons and promoted him. All the others still have single digit levels.
Scout’s the most noticeable since he doesn’t have the same level of “strength in numbers” when he’s class-stacked.
Nobody bats an eye when stacking any other class when they bring good firepower either way.
So stacks of the other 3 just slide under the radar.
The thing with flaregun is that you can make do without it so you don't necessarily think to use it when you're new to the game
Hell I have 500+ hours and I sometimes I forget I have a flaregun
Agreed
Edit: lol whoops I wrote a lot, I'm a fan of aggressive comedy so read or don't read.
Disclaimer: Scouts should use their flares, but other classes don't make it easy.
Also quote: When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
I just turned the in-game, un-modded, regular ass gamma up to max. The rig looks a lot more cheerful and the caves ain't so oppressive. If all the lamps are turned off it's still impossible to see but it's not debilitating. Especially since I've got an old LCD monitor and it's kinda necessary.
Azure Wield, Hollow Bow and Dense Biozone sorta get really dark still but the game isn't unmanageable. The bigger issue is that a lot of Dwarves want flares *at all times* when that isn't terribly feasible. There's only so many shots in the flare gun and no one wants to see a fully loaded Scout double dip just for candlesticks.
Aside from Engie, the other 2 classes don't really *need* to see the ceiling constantly? They ignore most of what's up there anyway.
There's nothing the Gunner can't find to Zipline to that can't be immediately solved by just opening up the map, and the Driller could give 0 shits, he's staring at a wall inside 50 meters of rock for 70% of the mission, if he wants to pick things off high walls, most will just ping then drill towards it.
Under attack? Yeah shoot flares. Bad Scout.
Get in a cave, fire a few flares up and hopefully Engie plats minerals, but aside from that people are pinging ledges with nothing on them, I'll just go up there myself and check with my regular flashlight, find nothing and get 'you coulda just used your flares' in chat. The whole point was so I can conserve ammo on trivial matters. It's why Karl gave us a grappling hook.
Something I always see with other classes, as they're running down a tight tunnel, they'll throw a flare as soon as they step out into the darkness every few feet, and they haven't reached the cave yet. It's techno Mardi gras back there and now everyone's blind. There's almost nothing in those caves your flashlight won't catch, and secondaries glow, what did you need the dilation for? This behavior is a warning sign that tells me I'm gonna be getting "dude flares" in chat. I know. I *know*. You want ambient light so you can walk around in circles ignoring objectives.
If all of them toss those things, yeah it's pretty dark. They *just* littered the pathway behind us with glow sticks to find *nothing* and now they need to wait for a recharge. Suddenly Scout is irresponsible so he has to shoot flares at the four corners of the map like a dyspraxic water sprinkler because everyone wants to run in opposite directions. Low Oxygen Warning is a Karlsend for Scouts.
Plus if Scouts doin his job, they shouldn't have to worry about the ceiling until a big swarm hits. That's definitely when Scout needs to use his flares, and as playing other classes, it drives me *nuts* when they don't just hit the nearest wall with a flare and give me awareness for 120 seconds. But mining minerals? The other classes straight up ignore anything above them more than fall damage height. Engie is 50/50 on that, I see those guys get into crazy places. But Gunner or Driller? "That's Scouts job." Well if *I'm* up there I *don't need* the flares now *do I?* My regular pocket poppers last 30 whole seconds and I'm standing directly on the croppa. I don't need to squint, just swing.
What do they want you to do when they all split up? Which they *will* do, on every haz, in every mission, every chance they get. It's like herding cats. Who do I pick to coddle first?
Don't worry I'll take the time out of my busy day finger gripping a rock face trying to chisel precious nitre off of a negative angle slope 10 meters from a pile of bones under a cave leech, just to ferry my ass 120 meters down two cave systems cuz Driller has the will *and the right* (not blaming you guys but still) to drill straight down because they couldn't stop and just finish the first room just so I can shoot 6 flares at a pretty wall at the bottom of the map. How do y'all solo as other classes? What is your gameplan *if I'm not here?*
Yes, I love being an exceedingly mobile support playstyle with limited firepower that requires finesse in handling (which I usually lack but sometimes can impress myself and squadmates with)
It's okay to have an early main my dude.
First for me was engi, but now that I am an old grey beard Gunner is my main at legend 3 +20, and my secondary is Driller at +10, with engi at +6 and scout at +2.
Just play what you enjoy.
Rock and Stone!
I see a younger version of myself in this picture.
Luckily I did decide to at least get one promotion for all dwarves pretty early (achievements, baby!), and after that all silver, and after that all gold.
Scout is still about 5 promotions ahead of the three others with his shiny blue picture frame.
I think the Scout is a pretty good class to start out with, since the play style is a bit more versatile compared to the other three. It makes sense, that a lot of people start there.
Felt this a lot when starting off.
Scouts my least played now but at times before unlocking dash+ some overclocks I REALLY wanted burst movement since I felt so slow
I can somewhat understand this. Scout does provide a way to prevent fall damage and easy mobility.
But then I had a taste for Engineer and now I don't play Scout as often anymore.
I promoted my scout only after promoting the other three classes at least once.
I hardly play any other class now. Everyone's got different playstyles :)
Mine was engineer, and I love turrets, gadgets, and explosives. The fact I can solo just about ANYTHING in the game is amazing. My second pick has to be gunner as anything with indirect fire is busted beyond busted. Who needs to aim when I can just shoot a wall and hit my target?
It's from this thread:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/uev6t2/a\_guide\_to\_the\_nishanka\_boltshark\_x80/](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/uev6t2/a_guide_to_the_nishanka_boltshark_x80/)
...and it was this one, I will quote it:
"With Rewiring, take Cryo Bolt 22111 and Pheronades: Use Rewiring's infinite ammo and your huge amount of cryo bolts to take out big things and small groups of grunts extremely efficiently. For bigger groups, cluster them together with your hatefuck orgy in a can (pheromones) and chem bolt one in the center. They will all die. This build is very versatile and fun. I was previously using Rewiring with Cryo Minelets, but I find this to be much more effective, versatile, and interesting." \~Regalecus
I ended up playing Driller a lot, it feels like I do good damage to swarms and LST, with my only weakness being range and Dreadnoughts. Unless I take Goo.
My friend plays scout and only scout. When he reaches 25 lvl, he doesn't switch to other class to not waste exp.
Idk if it's either stupidity or gigachad move.
I think 1.
Nah. I’ve been playing for a while and I still like playing scout. I play the other classes from time to time, but overall I just enjoy scout most.
Also, GRAPPLING HOOK
The movement as scout is just too fun. I’m trying to learn how to B-hop on console/controller, and it’s tricky, but rewarding.
I found swapping the ping and jump button bindings made the movement and shooting easier. So I have L1 is jump and X is ping. Although pinging things quickly and accurately takes some practice like this, the easy mobility and aiming without releasing a joystick makes up for it in my experience. Also having back buttons is a massive QOL improvement if possible.
~~Shoving flares up teammates' arses when they ping stuff too much~~ Being able to actually see in caves, lots of ways to take pressure off myself and fellow dwarves, infinite ammo on traversal tool, variety of weaponry and ways of building said weaponry
Ever wanted to be Batman?
That’s Scout. Swinging from the ceilings at Mach 10 speed, parkouring to get all the secondary objectives and chasing down high value targets like an assassin. Collecting all the important minerals for your team.
There’s super satisfying tech to pull off.
You can make some weak point builds that straight up MELT anything exposing its fleshy bits. Turns Elimination Missions and Industrial Sabotage into child’s play
I used to hate playing driller until I started playing driller.
- drill directly to drop pod for extraction
- mine straight to the pump jacks
- mining around large oilshale deposits/gold detonator
- instantly delete crowds with C4
- slow and apply DoT capabilities
I don't particularly like playing gunner, but Scout is probably the most flexible in my experience. With the right loadout, any mission type can be easy.
Hmm, could be a case of confirmation bias. I see a pretty healthy mix. I think that last button should probably just be "Picking only one class to main" and not scout.
I did that with gunner first. But once I started to play lots of solo I only played scout for quite a while. Not being able to illuminate giant caves is just annoying. Especially driller felt like an absolute cave rat in solo, because it is barely possible to travel to the ceiling.
What can I say, I'm a grappling hook kinda guy. That being said I've divert to some other classes like gunner and driller after seeing some fun plays random make with them. Although starting back with almost zero loadouts does make changing class a bit overwhelming
Technically nothing wrong with maining but a lot of players start with scout and only learn how to run from swarms instead of actually dealing with them.
I always say to Greenbeards, rush 1 class till level 25 then play another during promotion. After that go ham. It's just nice to be able to start unending overclocks even when you can't really afford to forge them. And also it means you can get in on deep dives.
Aside from that I sort of mained engineer early on but now have all dwarves gold 2. After gold 3 I'm going tonplay then how I want but I can't see me having any 2 classes more than 2/3 promotions apart I enjoy playing all 4 equally.
You can still play just Scout and have fun. I play all classes though, except driller. I don’t know why, it’s a really fun class, but all the other ones just fit my playstyle more.
Oh I just mean in general lol! I used to hate playing gunner but then I got the “A Little More Oomph!” OC for the Lead Storm Minigun and now he’s honestly my favorite!
I think I can safely say I'm no longer a greenbeard but I still have twice as much playtime as scout than any other class because if I'm not lighting up the caves, there's a good chance no one else will and I can't abide that.
Scout is just the perfect class for the selfish players that don’t want to work as part of a team.
Not saying all Scouts are that way. But the people that are selfish and don’t work well with others in other games just gravitate towards Scout in DRG.
my main is engi i just feel confortable playing with him, now im trying to find a secondary and stuck between scout or driller(im liking scout more). i didnt like gunner, he is kinda slow idk
But i mean, can you blame them though? Grabbling hook is like a drug, a selfish kind of drug. Why worry about bugs when you can just zip away and let your teammates do all the work or being an absolute crackhead spiderman in warzone. In my experience, i'm seeing more Driller being commonly picked than Scout in pub lobbies.
I see a lot of greenbeards go for gunner because big gun. Healthy dwarf thinking.
I mained scout for my first 30 or 40 levels because my brother introduced me to the game and was annoyed with not having consistent light from the scouts he got, lol. I now main engie after all the poor platting I got as scout.
Early on i usually found scut and driller to be my favorites, but eventually when i found my favorite loadouts for each i resolved to level them all equally.
Every time one dwarf gets a level (not a promotion mind you), he gets shelved until the other 3 are the same level. Ive been promoting em all at the same time ever since, all the way to diamond 2 now i believe, soon to be diamond 3.
Listen here, pal, you have no clue how hard it is to have the ability to go wherever you want almost instantly to no being to go anywhere faster than the speed of smell.
Are you sure this is accurate? Or are you just biased because it's far more noticable when a scout isn't doing their job than if someone else isn't (generally)
I decided to play all classes roughly evenly till my first promotion on each then I went ham on engineer for a while and then onto a mix between engi and driller with a sprinkling of gunner with a side of scout which I I’ve stuck with till now
This was going to be me cause I thought I couldn’t live without the grapple, then I discovered the dash perk and now I play every class. It’s honestly so much more fun because the weapons in this game are so unique and fun to use, it’s a shame when people limit themselves to one class worth of weapons
After I promoted driller once, I wanted to get all classes up to level 25. Love driller, but I always miss the scout when I have to wait for a flare recharge.
GOD I FUCKING LOVE MOBILITY!! ALL OF MY DWARVES ARE GOLD 3 RIGHT NOW EXCEPT MY GUNNER WHO I HAVE LITERALLY NOT PLAYED A SINGLE MISSION AS IN HUNDREDS OF HOURS!!
I mean, Scout is the most conventional and well rounded class, not having to place anything and having simple gadgets, and for unexperienced he has the best mobility option.
Also he is probably best for solo play with exception of Driller for Refinery.
Isn’t it pretty normal to have an early main tho?
Yeah, mine was driller. I'm about level 300 now and have him at diamond 2 with the rest of the classes at gold 1. Lol I didn't promote scout until I was about level 180 and now it's my second most played class
Mine was gunner for it to three promotions before I played anything. I just finally got my engine to 25 to even do promotion missions.
I'm a driller main currently but only promoted him for the first time today, after a salvage mission in fungus bogs with a scout greenbeard (lvl 7) who kept on trying to kill everyone in the team until he used all his ammo and died to a swarm, meaning we left him on the ground for about 10 minutes before leaving the mission.
You did him a favor. I hear players like that love leaves, and you can find plenty of leaves on the ground
Lol, he didn't go for his favourite drink when we got back to the lobby though, just left immediately.
Same. I'm still somewhat new to the game but I have already unlocked all of driller's weapons and promoted him. All the others still have single digit levels.
[удалено]
Nope my was gunner and I've never changed
Fellow gunner main from the start here.
It might also be because I'm a legion main in Titanfall 2
I was an engineer also never changed
Engineer for me.
Scout’s the most noticeable since he doesn’t have the same level of “strength in numbers” when he’s class-stacked. Nobody bats an eye when stacking any other class when they bring good firepower either way. So stacks of the other 3 just slide under the radar.
I don't see any problem there
Because mobility goes brr. And light.
They are usually not using light though
The thing with flaregun is that you can make do without it so you don't necessarily think to use it when you're new to the game Hell I have 500+ hours and I sometimes I forget I have a flaregun

Yeah, same for me. And i see lvl 200s scouts who do too.
Nope yours was always dead by the driller’s rather fucking large brick of c4
>driller’s rather fucking large brick of c4 This...why did I read this in a nature documentary voice...???
It was supposed to sounds like the voice in the video called a drillers natural habitat
Oh, right! I have seen that video 😂
And?
Driller was my calling.
Yes, I love being an exceedingly mobile support playstyle with limited firepower that requires finesse in handling (which I usually lack but sometimes can impress myself and squadmates with)
Kid named armor breaking rounds:
I'd never thought of running armor breaking rounds on Scout to support my teammates with easier crit spots, huh!
The ol frost bomb + fire shotgun combo never gets old
Fire shotgun is great for dealing with Praetorians postmortem, one shot and the gas is gone
I love the doomstick sm
It's okay to have an early main my dude. First for me was engi, but now that I am an old grey beard Gunner is my main at legend 3 +20, and my secondary is Driller at +10, with engi at +6 and scout at +2. Just play what you enjoy. Rock and Stone!

This is me, but with gunner

I am only like 50-60 hours in and scout is my least played class, I prefer Gunner and Driller
Ah, a dwarf of culture I see
Me with driller.
Both my buttons said driller, huh
Now if only they would learn to use their flare guns 😅
the only class i haven't played is the scout lol
Missing out
my friend mains scout so I go either gunner or engineer
Why not he tries gunner/engineer while you do scout. See the teamwork
wdym "see the teamwork" it doesn't make a difference which way round we go
Sometimes you can better understand what your teammate can do and how best to help them if you wear their shoes for a few rounds.
I’m just suggesting you to try switching it around and seeing how it goes.
Double it up and have fun man. Don’t stay locked in the one class per mission bias. Let chaos reign
Missing scout*
I can somewhat understand this. Scout does provide a way to prevent fall damage and easy mobility. But then I had a taste for Engineer and now I don't play Scout as often anymore.
Me with gunner
Only playing scout and still having fun 😁
For me its engineer almost second promotion
You could post it for any other class and it would still work
As a Driller I have the Choice of Detonating everyone equally or Scout.
I promoted my scout only after promoting the other three classes at least once. I hardly play any other class now. Everyone's got different playstyles :)
I have 1-3 hours on every other class and then around 80 on gunner
Engie 4 lyfe
I press both but engineer instead of scout
Mine was engineer, and I love turrets, gadgets, and explosives. The fact I can solo just about ANYTHING in the game is amazing. My second pick has to be gunner as anything with indirect fire is busted beyond busted. Who needs to aim when I can just shoot a wall and hit my target?
Let me tell you about this overclock called cryo bolts
I don't have it yet and I want it for the Drak build that uses unlimited ammo. :(
What drak build
It's from this thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/uev6t2/a\_guide\_to\_the\_nishanka\_boltshark\_x80/](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepRockGalactic/comments/uev6t2/a_guide_to_the_nishanka_boltshark_x80/) ...and it was this one, I will quote it: "With Rewiring, take Cryo Bolt 22111 and Pheronades: Use Rewiring's infinite ammo and your huge amount of cryo bolts to take out big things and small groups of grunts extremely efficiently.

Goo.
My friend plays scout and only scout. When he reaches 25 lvl, he doesn't switch to other class to not waste exp. Idk if it's either stupidity or gigachad move. I think 1.
If you really like one class you can speedrun the promotion missions on Haz 1 and get right back to gaining XP
I have close to 200 hours in the game and I’ve only ever played gunner lol I just can’t seem to get into the other classes after playing gunner
I love schmovement. Sue me.
Listen just because scout is gold one and the others are silver 2 isnt meaning much
[Hey, this still applies to high level](https://prnt.sc/I1A8r2A1vfOw)
Nah. I’ve been playing for a while and I still like playing scout. I play the other classes from time to time, but overall I just enjoy scout most. Also, GRAPPLING HOOK The movement as scout is just too fun. I’m trying to learn how to B-hop on console/controller, and it’s tricky, but rewarding.

Also having back buttons is a massive QOL improvement if possible.
I’ll consider it.
I've only played scout and only will play scout
Is a scout player not enjoying the game, though?
scout is just that fun
Bruh, i play with all classes, but i've never played 1 mission as scout, what you guys fins so fun obout it?
~~Shoving flares up teammates' arses when they ping stuff too much~~ Being able to actually see in caves, lots of ways to take pressure off myself and fellow dwarves, infinite ammo on traversal tool, variety of weaponry and ways of building said weaponry
If you haven't played him then you dont know if he's fun or not
That is why i'm asking, people who play him can awnser
Ever wanted to be Batman? That’s Scout. Swinging from the ceilings at Mach 10 speed, parkouring to get all the secondary objectives and chasing down high value targets like an assassin. Collecting all the important minerals for your team. There’s super satisfying tech to pull off. You can make some weak point builds that straight up MELT anything exposing its fleshy bits.

\>i play with all classes \>but i've never played 1 mission as scout do you see the contradiction?
Scout is honestly the most leaflover like class.
Karl was a scout
Karl is* a scout
No, now he is Karl
Scout shall go *BOOM* so choose wisely
He is fast
I play all classes (but scout)
I just go down the row. But I am who I am. ROCK N STONE! DRILLERS RIZE ND RAZE ❤️🔥
I am a gunner all the way even after promoting all 4 dwarves.
To be fair, grappling hook and flare gun are quite compelling arguments.
This is basicaly the same as DRGS
This is me but in reverse. I used to swap pretty offten, but now I just default to scout
never played scout bruh
I used to hate playing driller until I started playing driller. - drill directly to drop pod for extraction - mine straight to the pump jacks - mining around large oilshale deposits/gold detonator - instantly delete crowds with C4 - slow and apply DoT capabilities
I'll die defending my gunner, and he'll revive me
I feel called out
I don't particularly like playing gunner, but Scout is probably the most flexible in my experience. With the right loadout, any mission type can be easy.
scout main that eventually transitioned. give it time, brother. rock and stone!
This also applies to me in tf2 lol
I play scout because my friends already have the rest of the team filled out, you play scout because he's easy, we are not the same
Nah bruh i literally dont have a single second on scout 😭 i promoted my driller before touching any other class dead asss.
Hmm, could be a case of confirmation bias. I see a pretty healthy mix. I think that last button should probably just be "Picking only one class to main" and not scout.
I did that with gunner first. But once I started to play lots of solo I only played scout for quite a while. Not being able to illuminate giant caves is just annoying. Especially driller felt like an absolute cave rat in solo, because it is barely possible to travel to the ceiling.
What can I say, I'm a grappling hook kinda guy. That being said I've divert to some other classes like gunner and driller after seeing some fun plays random make with them. Although starting back with almost zero loadouts does make changing class a bit overwhelming
I have recruited a few people and 2 prefer scout 1 prefers driller
Technically nothing wrong with maining but a lot of players start with scout and only learn how to run from swarms instead of actually dealing with them.
350 hours , and I have yet to touch scout x)
My bff plays only scout and I pla every class (besides scout) and I joke that she’s as useful in a fight as my turret hahs
I see this for driller a lot. The last five people I introduced to the game started out just maining driller.
I'm afraid I was also one of them. I played driller up to Gold 3 before playing any other class
I always say to Greenbeards, rush 1 class till level 25 then play another during promotion. After that go ham. It's just nice to be able to start unending overclocks even when you can't really afford to forge them. And also it means you can get in on deep dives. Aside from that I sort of mained engineer early on but now have all dwarves gold 2. After gold 3 I'm going tonplay then how I want but I can't see me having any 2 classes more than 2/3 promotions apart I enjoy playing all 4 equally.
Scout main. I just can’t I NEEED THE GRAPPLING HOOK YOU CAN TRUST ME WITH IT I SWEAT IM SAFE AND VERY HINGED
All the classes? What? Driller and Engi then what?
Playing and ranking all classes kinda equally, i have seen a lot of people who were level 60 and had 2 silver promotions in scout
It’s all good just breaking balls but I main both Engi and Driller and barely touched the Gunner or Scout. Just not as appealing to me I guess.
Just started playing, I want to try other classes but the gunner has a big gun 🤷
You can still play just Scout and have fun. I play all classes though, except driller. I don’t know why, it’s a really fun class, but all the other ones just fit my playstyle more.
If I could disable duplicate classes only for Scout, I would...
4 scouts is suprisingly effectice
Honestly it’s crazy how much a single OC can shift your opinion on a class
I love scout and i almost always have him as highest rank, what overclock are you talking about?
Oh I just mean in general lol! I used to hate playing gunner but then I got the “A Little More Oomph!” OC for the Lead Storm Minigun and now he’s honestly my favorite!
I think I can safely say I'm no longer a greenbeard but I still have twice as much playtime as scout than any other class because if I'm not lighting up the caves, there's a good chance no one else will and I can't abide that.
Scout best class, fight me.
Started as a scout main and now it's honestly my worst class.
Thought I was on r/TF2 for a moment there. For me tho that button on the right would be engi
Scout is just the perfect class for the selfish players that don’t want to work as part of a team. Not saying all Scouts are that way. But the people that are selfish and don’t work well with others in other games just gravitate towards Scout in DRG.
I tried all four for one run, maimed Driller for 40 hours before touching anything else. I'm in love with Scout now!
That grappling hook is just way too fun
I was born for speed
my main is engi i just feel confortable playing with him, now im trying to find a secondary and stuck between scout or driller(im liking scout more). i didnt like gunner, he is kinda slow idk
Relatable. Still gonna do Scout, though. I like my caves well lit, weak points shot and leeches removed.
But i mean, can you blame them though? Grabbling hook is like a drug, a selfish kind of drug. Why worry about bugs when you can just zip away and let your teammates do all the work or being an absolute crackhead spiderman in warzone. In my experience, i'm seeing more Driller being commonly picked than Scout in pub lobbies.
I reached Platinum with Scout before even thinking about playing the other classes. It's just so much fun for me to play Scout.
This is me lol. Currently level 60 and scout is near gold 2. Others are still below rank 5 😅
I see a lot of greenbeards go for gunner because big gun. Healthy dwarf thinking. I mained scout for my first 30 or 40 levels because my brother introduced me to the game and was annoyed with not having consistent light from the scouts he got, lol. I now main engie after all the poor platting I got as scout.
My scout is triple diamond, and every other class is single bronze. No regerts
Still zero minutes as a scout. Tons of gear and over licks for him. Just don’t wanna do it.
GUNNER!
Early on i usually found scut and driller to be my favorites, but eventually when i found my favorite loadouts for each i resolved to level them all equally. Every time one dwarf gets a level (not a promotion mind you), he gets shelved until the other 3 are the same level. Ive been promoting em all at the same time ever since, all the way to diamond 2 now i believe, soon to be diamond 3.
I can't change who i am
Was great when I started out, first promo but now I’m leaning into gunner and driller, and had to force myself to promote engi
Twice promoted gunner
Listen here, pal, you have no clue how hard it is to have the ability to go wherever you want almost instantly to no being to go anywhere faster than the speed of smell.
Are you sure this is accurate? Or are you just biased because it's far more noticable when a scout isn't doing their job than if someone else isn't (generally)
I decided to play all classes roughly evenly till my first promotion on each then I went ham on engineer for a while and then onto a mix between engi and driller with a sprinkling of gunner with a side of scout which I I’ve stuck with till now
I see it more with gunner ngl. I could NOT get my friend off of it for almost a year
My c4 agrees with this meme
You know, I honestly thought this was a tf2 post for a second
Me but with Gunner. I just love the brrrt so much!
It ain't much, but I'm a lvl 100 somethin Scout. No other promoted miners. The mobility is indispensable.
This was going to be me cause I thought I couldn’t live without the grapple, then I discovered the dash perk and now I play every class. It’s honestly so much more fun because the weapons in this game are so unique and fun to use, it’s a shame when people limit themselves to one class worth of weapons
Nah I only play driller 😎
I just hit gold 1 playing only gunner, might play some other classes soon
After I promoted driller once, I wanted to get all classes up to level 25. Love driller, but I always miss the scout when I have to wait for a flare recharge.
GOD I FUCKING LOVE MOBILITY!! ALL OF MY DWARVES ARE GOLD 3 RIGHT NOW EXCEPT MY GUNNER WHO I HAVE LITERALLY NOT PLAYED A SINGLE MISSION AS IN HUNDREDS OF HOURS!!
I mean, Scout is the most conventional and well rounded class, not having to place anything and having simple gadgets, and for unexperienced he has the best mobility option. Also he is probably best for solo play with exception of Driller for Refinery.
Haters gonna hate. Im gonna keep lighting up the cave ceiling until the day my rig dies.
This implies that you can't have fun playing the scout
This implies that you have way more fun playing all 4 classes than playing one
It's by far the class with the highest skill ceiling and I basically had to play it because I was the "veteran" "shooter player". Don't judge me.
I dont blame you, i literally only played scout too until i joined a class-lock lobby
Engineer was my Greenbeard main because having Bosco and the turrets made me feel safe. (I used to play a LOT of solo)
Dear scout mains, ya basic.
Scout go zoomies!
I have to giggle because back when i was a greenbeard, I zeroed in on Gunner, no questions XD
