What Scout does
Finds targets, improves squad planning, and creates opportunities before the damage roles commit.
The official role describes the job, not a mandatory weapon or fixed squad. Standard Specializations can support different Operators and can be adjusted at The Den as the campaign develops.
Field strengths
- Enemy information
- Opportunity creation
- Advantage support
Planning risks
- Indirect value can be easy to underrate
- Requires follow-up from allies
Squad fit
A strong enabler for Assault and Sharpshooter Operators because both benefit from reliable target information.
Before committing Focus Points
- Name the job this Operator performs on the current squad.
- Check whether the weapon AP cost supports that job.
- Identify which teammate creates the opening this role needs.
- Preserve a recovery or retreat plan before moving forward.
