A Tale Of Three Scouts

Just because you can go fast, doesn't mean that you should.
The widely requested sequel to the Engineer videos is out!
I feel like I one-up myself every time I make a new video. This was seriously a monster to make, and the script was written during some seriously stressful moments stuff that's happened to me recently. That said, one of the things that pushed me to finish it was the desire you all showed for this video. I made this video as a labor of love toward all the wonderful TF2, DRG, and OW fans who've enjoyed my videos up this point.
This one's for you :)

He's also got the Hoverclock OC for the M1000, which lets him slow down his time (momentum) in the air, giving him even more mobility.

Best part of Special Powder is the fact that it's a clean OC, so there is literally no downsides to having it other than the occasional being shot into the atmosphere when trying to jump strafe away from bugs. Also, you can conserve the momentum from either a grapple launch or special powder using b-hops, making him even more mobile. Special powder go crazy.

I was looking for a comment like this, the video is actually super well made and has an actually good message to say

[@JameyJoeshuaOfficial]

same~

[@NonelyTM]

Went in for some funny fast people, came out with the hardest hitting advice I’ve ever heard, damn

[@dutssz]

A good takeaway from this video is that an "scout" type of character is not a character that "gets there fast", but rather a character that "gets there first". The scout is the first one to see the enemy and as such is the one that can most evaluate the game strategy. Being able to single out the backlines, or stall the point from spawn is a plus, but a "scout" is doing best if they are using their resources to give advantage to the rest of your team through intel, disruption and exploiting opportunities.

[@ArachnidSyther]

Yes! A very clever rewrite!

[@ccricers]

I have no idea why Sombra isn't included in this video because intel and disruption are her bread and butter. I'd argue she is the best Overwatch character for team recon.

DRG Scout has one other major claim to fame in both his team and amongst the other scouts, his range. He typically has the most accurate primaries in the game which when combined with his speed and tools in his kit, to eliminate high value targets while kiting a swarm

[@zer0her048]

Not only accurate but they have (except for some weapons like the breach cutter) the highest single target dps.

[@sorin_markov]

@@zer0her048 No, I think literally any other class does better single-target DPS. Scout, as I play him at least, is an assassin. He specializes in single-target elimination because he doesn't do groups and has the mobility to get in, eliminate his target, and get out. But Gunner, Engineer, and Driller all do far better if assigned to "shoot this thing in the face until it's dead"

[@zer0her048]

@@sorin_markov You have disproven your own point there. Yes they are all better *at just shooting the hoardes*. If you take the right mods and OCs and actually try and aim (as you should) Scout's weapons have insane sustained DPS because they reload quickly and because they are designed for exactly that purpose.

[@sorin_markov]

@@zer0her048 Yes, if you take the right mods and OCs, you can make any class do just about any task better than another generalist build of another class. But by nature, Scout does not excel at damage of just about any form. Other classes do better against groups and against most single targets simply because they have higher overall damage. Scout's weapons are meant for personal defense and precision, idk how that really factors in.

[@theawesomestuff2408]

@@zer0her048 Think there's a bit of confusion here. Sustained DPS? No one trumps Gunner. Burst DPS? Nothing really compares to AI Stability Engine, Bullets of Mercy, Supercooling Chamber, and *especially* Embedded Detonators, the highest DPS secondary period. Engineer's Overdrive Booster and Hyper Propellant are pretty close, though. Really the issue with Scout's identity is all his uniquely powerful offensive options are relegated behind the timegated Overclock gacha. If you don't get lucky, all his weapons are rather plinky-dinky, and you're mostly reliant on your grenades and teammates.

[@ArtistthiccArttwerks]

I'd like to think the the "Scout" class isn't just about being fast, but being a SCOUT To observe and give information to your team and make the best play

[@zilchthegrate63]

As a Titanfall 2 player, it's interesting to see the correlations between Scout and Ronin. Both have insane DPS, high speed, low heath and a high skill floor while main difference (aside from size) is that Ronin's speed comes from his dashes rather than his base speed. ...I should probably pick up the other TF2 now that I think about it

If I had to add something to the DRG scout, it’s that his weapons and typically the quietest in the field, compared to the constant flow of driller’s flamer and cryo cannon, the gunner’s sheer amount of DAKKA! And engine’s grenade launcher and sentries. With him usually being found in the quieter outer circle of a team, Scout’s weapons seem a little quieter than most. So they’re usually the one tasked with listening, listening through the music, to the low rumbles of the cave life. And reporting if you hear anything like the low rumble of a bulk, the electric charge of a warden, the chirping of stingtails and septic spreaders. You’re the team’s ears, and your flairs provide them with eyes. Although, I will admit it’s a little hard to listen through the killer soundtrack sometimes. It’s amazing to see DRG on lists that were so heavily dominated by TF2 and over watch having competitions against each other. Keep it up man!

[@dwarf2155]

I havent played drg for a while what are stingtails and septic spreaders

[@bagelboi4321]

@@dwarf2155 Stingtails are scorpions that can hook you towards them (as annoying as it sounds) and septic spreaders are ranged glyphids that shoot toxic sludge at you. Both have distinct sounds that indicate when they're about to attack.

[@dwarf2155]

@@bagelboi4321 thanks. I think ill get back to drg

[@nickr8662]

@dwarf2155 Stingtails are some harmless fellas that displace you, usually into the entire swarm overrunning your position. And the other, the septic spreader, is the most demonic, deadliest, and utterly devastating enemy you can get…. On exactly one gamemode, salvage operation, otherwise they just hurt. A LOT .

[@VoidHxnter]

@@dwarf2155Word of advice when fighting stingtails: when you hear their cry (idk why but to me it sounds like they’re saying “MAMA!”), quickly sidestep and jump. That’s usually enough to dodge the hook. If you do get hooked, immediately run the opposite way you got hooked because there’s probably glyphids near him.

[@iwillslapyou4982]

I like that DRG still has a way to make the scout seem less tanky, despite him having the same health as everyone else. He is not as well equipped for dealing with large groups of enemies. While he does have several weapons to help with that, he has a harder time, and often takes more damage to swarms than the other classes. This is a good way to make him feel more at risk than the others, while also making him no less effective against single targets.

[@kheasboroki3928]

there is also the fact his armor upgrade gives him fall damage resistance, rather than resistance against fire, poison, or explosions like the others

[@iwillslapyou4982]

@@kheasboroki3928 Most damage that you will be taking in combat isn't any of those damage types but you are right and it does make some difference, especially against exploders.

[@kheasboroki3928]

I very much agree, but when you stop taking damage from those sources altogether you'd be surprised to realise how often they tick away your armor or health (walking on burning ground in Magma core or close to meteors, the poison spit from praetorians and the gas mushrooms in the fungus bog, for example). However stats showed that the most damage player take IS fall damage so i very much get your point.@@iwillslapyou4982

Blinks are much more useful in moving in and out of cover, which is more common on overwatch maps than tf2. They're also good at closing distance to longer range characters, because you don't have to worry about getting oneshot by a sniper as much if you can literally teleport every few seconds. Scout is only really better at avoiding projectiles and doing burst damage, since run speed and double jumps combo well for passive evasiveness, and the shotgun either does a lot of damage or misses compared to pulse pistols.

the strongest ability in gaming is to choose your opponent, and that is what scouts are best at

[@dragonslair951167]

A real-world scout is defined by caution. Your job is to move ahead of everyone else to see what the enemy is up to, and in practice that means you're going blindly into an area likely to be dense with enemies, with equipment and numbers that are nowhere near enough to survive a firefight if you get caught. Speed, stealth, and smarts are all you have.

some things you missed: 1. DRG's Scout has the only movement tool that lets you go faster unconditionally Driller's Drills have more optimised pathing, but don't work as well when going upwards Gunner's Zipline is slow by design, used as a defensive tool Engineer's platforms don't give any speed, just allow more speed by reducing fall damage if you land on them 2. Scout's Boomstick overclock easily makes him the fastest of the 3, especially when you remember that he can mitigate fall damage no matter how high up you go and without any prior setup using the grapple hook

[@familydesjardins]

Low skill floor means easy to play, you mean to say that tracer has a high skill floor.

I think low skill floor in this case was meant in the sense of easy to understand. Tracer's abilities are easy to understand: The go fast button and the go back button. Anyone can look at that and grasp what they should be doing. Doing it effectively however, is the part that's hard to master.

Idk if you need this anymore but he said in 2 shots, yes max ramp up for 1 is 105 not including minicrits or crits, but 2 shots is 210. Idk where 220 came in but sometimes Valve calcs get weird

[@thatsaladprophet7051]

Wonderful video!

[@Lgnno10125]

This editing is amazing man!

[@Drekromancer]

I didn't expect this video to be a philosophical treatise on the nature of speed and our relationship with time, but I think I needed it to be. It imparted a message I didn't know I needed today until I heard it. Thank you for sharing.

I was not expecting a therapy session form this exposé on scout mechanics, but I can't say I didn't need it.

[@sargent4949]

Damn that was really well made the ending was by far my favorite part:)

[@beeegman]

I loved the video. Nothing much more to say, it was informative towards the characters and had a nice little tie into philosophy. Nice work man

[@furgel7717]

What I feel you really missed about DRG Scout is not only that Scout enables your whole team to finish the mission faster, but is also by far the best equipped to take out high priority targets, primarily the ranged enemies. Also the DRG Scout is usually the one responsible for most of the ressurects on the team. Lastly, taking the special powder overclock into account, you can cover hundreds of meters in seconds.

"wow that was quick" that's what she said 😔 i cant tell if this joke was intended in the video so i will make the joke anyways shutupshutupshutup

[@boxedmilk606]

Very good editing and well explained points. Keep it up bro

[@robtapli]

Dang, this is a really great video! It provides useful info for game design & had some wisdom I needed to hear.

I was expecting to see TF2 Overwatch Paladins But deep rock? Thats a pve not pvp But anyway...

[@zagrfige]

Yeah... he never said it was only meant to be pvp, no one plays paladins anyways...

[@sebastiancristaldo6868]

@@zagrfige i even expect neon from Valorant And paladins its not dead There is a lot of players that still playing the game I just want to kick in the balls to some dev of the game But at least is not the same condition as overpriced "2"

[@zagrfige]

@@sebastiancristaldo6868 I don't know anything about valorant but I'd assume it just doesn't have the same playstyle to use as a "scout" that's possible in the games he showed. Also yeah, gotta love OW making a new game, calling it free, then charging a fortune for the thing they made the game for lol.

[@Going4Broke2528]

@@zagrfige Nah they straight-up scrapped the thing that necessitated a sequel to begin with. PvE mode is never happening, and they only revealed that after a bunch of people fell for their bull. If it was unclear, I was referring to Overwatch, not DRG.

[@Envy_the_Darksider]

"DRG in not a PvP!" Actual dev quote in response to DRG not having PvP: "Driller exists"

[@youraverageenclavesoldier]

Man you've got a bright YT career on sight. Keep this typa vids going and boy are ya gonna grow. Great video!

[@Cadaverous0711]

The Scout from DRG is basically Tracer mixed with Widowmaker, think about it. He's fast, he has double smgs, and can manipulate time like Tracer. But he also has a sniper and a grappling hook like Widowmaker.

[@hirskyiTikych]

Product quality is over the roof, really enjoyed the video!

[@roysama_gg]

Hey Lucid! This concept is so simple yet so profound! Thank you for making this video!!

[@Shibacki]

I'm currently on a 4.5 hour road trip, and am picking out interesting videos in my watch later to pass the time. I came across this one, decided it was the one, and watched an entire 20 minutes pass by the blink of an eye. This was a very entertaining watch, I really enjoyed it!

[@LucidMakesVideos]

Thank you! That means a lot :))) I'm glad I could entertain

[@y0sh02]

This video was awesome! I now know I love the "scout" characters i used to play a lot of scout back in 2012, and picked tracer up pretty quickly when overwatch released

[@trixto_]

amazing video man, not only is it very filosofal but it's actually a learnfull video, love it :3

[@MrSpecialjonny]

love the editing in this, underated youtuber that needs more subs ngl

[@j-sun3821]

Ah love the message at the end! So important and relevant right now. Thank you for the reminder to not rush from one dopamine hit to the next. Always great when a video can draw out life lessons.

[@erik_jjj]

i wanna note theirs an in lore reason why scout (tf2) has 2x capture rate, hes got 2 hearts, mind you, the second heart beaing that of a dove that the medic accidently put in him

[@Xeno_nb]

The final bit was really cute Also the editing is really neat :)

[@jono8404]

not only did my guy make a banger video but he also sprinkled in some great life advice what a great quality vid you earned a sub good job👍👍

[@sethvandivere9208]

well made video! I definitely needed to hear the message at the end

[@oguncanakyol6473]

I already knew this was gonna be a banger from the thumbnail and this did not disappoint. I love video essay

[@ShockedTaiLung]

This video is surprisingly well made

[@FortifiedFilmsAndFigures]

a very good analysis, great work man :D

[@KloudlyOnly-rb7ic]

Never thought a video about “speedy video game boi” would have me questioning my existence but here we are. This is my life.

[@flavafee]

great vid! thank you for liberally explaining terms and acronyms. also, love the ultimate point you got to. thank you :)

[@solsoman102]

this video is so exciting because i know so much about all these characters but i had never really considered their similarities before this video i love this comparison

[@doctorprepologedyedeyadede3542]

That moral at the end rings quite true. Never underestimate a good break when you have schoolwork due in not too long. It can improve its quality.

"Why would you ever want to be stronger or move things with your mind when you could just be faster than ever one else." First thing that popped in my mind was "Um because Omniman."
