you ever see a lurker mid pounce just cease to exist because some scout spec with a dmr looked at them funny? lurker lands a pounce? too bad, you’re stuck in place like a dumbass waiting to get shredded. runner trying to do runner things? nah, enjoy being a fucking traffic cone. just instant paralysis because some spec clicked on you. and then they mix incendiary rounds in too, so now you’re stunned AND on fire and moving like you just got fucking lobotomized. whoever made this ammo was actually high off their ass.

If you’re pouncing somebody in full view of other people with the squishiest xeno classes in the game and are upset that they immediately shoot you I don’t know what to tell you.

Daammmnn… I didn’t know being shot off weeds by a specialist weapon who has NVG’s and is made to kill xenos in a 1v1 is supposed to hurt.

DEAD: Prime Lurker (DMT-202) (F) says, “Vu Thuc Quyen, you’re either using autoaimer or a completely cheesed out gamma with brightness set to max. That on top of your utterly broken gun. Good work, very skilled and immersive gaming have going there but even maxed out gamma would hardly explain how you did not miss a single shot on me when I was invisible on weeds, trying to dodge and pouncing all the while you were jerking around the screen. man, this game, the hilarious combination of the absolutely ridiculous broken shit on marine side with the r3trdd and / or mentally ill no-life toxic playerbase is really something else. anyway, get a life retards. what a complete shithole”

So, I’m assuming you’re not referring to high velocity but rather high impact rounds. I honestly hate impact rounds as xeno, but the velocity is pretty fair all things considered.
Being able to chamber an incend round then load an impact mag is diabolical and I feel like that should be removed.

Scout gets their impact rounds because their gimmick is being really really good at killing lone T1s and T2s, in almost any other scenario another specialist is better in a fight.
-
On the frontline and need to deal with T1s/T2s? GL has HEDPs that stun AND have IFF alongside having strong armor meaning you don’t put yourself at much risk.
-
Need to deal with T3s/Queen? SADAR/AMR/Pyro are massive deterrents to prevent/kill them for overextending.
Scout gets a cloak and a “free kill” gun because its primary gimmick consists of running around backline killing lone targets with no support.
If a scout gets lunged? dead. Hits an acid trap near a runner/facehugger? capped. Pounced by a runner that saw through cloak? capped. etc etc.
If you remove impact rounds then arguably base sniper becomes better at killing backliners than scout due to aimed incind shot’s damage + flame on Runner/Lurker.
Playing as a backliner and want to counter scout?
- Get some teamwork- convince a drone to come to the backline and build a small backline base.
- make sure that the drone stays outside/in view expanding the base while you hide behind a door.
- When the scout inevitably decloaks to kill the drone, simply pounce them as runner/lurker.
- have the drone (who got set fire and is at half hp) help tackle and cap.
If you can’t get a single drone to help, then you’re better off giving up the backline instead of gambling on seeing scout first before they decloak and killing them.

yes… people tend to forget just how squishy scouts really are, also the M4RA and the M4RA custom are dog shit at CQC too low of fire rate to deal with close in runner who knows her stuff.
