I feel like King of the hill is the best way to practice scout in my opinion. Thats how i learned how to consistently get shots on target while jumping. Or, i suggest playing maps that are open.

One thing, use height advantage. It’s so much easier to juke if you’re on a higher surface, for example, the box on harvest mid Just knowing the map will help you greatly with finding little spots where you get the advantage.

For those looking to improve with scout in pubs, I highly recommend going 5cp, the game mode forces dynamic play which is scout’s bread and butter. Plus sentries (which are scout’s main weakness) aren’t nearly as effective in that game mode because the area of the fight is constantly changing.

How to get good at scout: - For aiming, grind out mge but also DM servers - play guitar hero with ur crosshair (as in strafe/jump aim to predict where they will be with ur crosshair and shoot once they move into ur crosshair) - For gamesense, just get into a HL/6's team and make sure to get a mentor too, scrim, do demo reviews and you'll start getting better understanding on how to play maps and with ur team more

Make sure to strafe-double-jump in the direction of cliffs and try to make sure that every pellet from your scattergun, not just the majority of them, misses. Also try to taunt after every kill and when you *do* miss all your shots try to get back to the resupply with the lowest amount of health you can get to.

big pro scout tip, if you can even get an inch of height advantage on the enemy, DO IT! Scouts are hunched over, fast, and thin, so hitting them is usually reliant on aiming for the center of the torso, this applies to most classes, but since scout is hunched over, if hes above you, most of his torso is hidden

Mickey, since I know that your a sniper main, how do you deal with a really good sniper main that won’t stop harassing you and you team? Also want to add that I will never be good at scout because, a. I always forget to reload my scattergun (I do this with every weapon that doesn’t realize automatically like the snipe riffle) and b. I always get into fights that I shouldn’t get into and always end up dying and c. I always forget that double jumping is a thing with scout and d. I can’t aim and end wasting all my shots and then rush at them with my mele weapon and then they can aim and kill me :(
@I_love_Grant_Fisher3 жыл бұрын
1. If it's a 1v1 wait for him to shoot then shoot at him, that's called second scoping. A. Turn on auto reload in your advanced settings B. Dont approach people who are looking at you unless you're confident, if you are fighting someone then you should be jumping around a lot especially on random objects, having the high ground makes it very hard for soldiers and demos to kill you. C. Remember to double jump. Its scouts second best move and will make it a lot harder for someone to kill you D. Aim harder. if you are having trouble you that then I suggest just moving left and right and when the other guy gets in your crosshair, shoot, no need to move the mouse.

I was just going around on 2fort killing people as usual and this absolutely cracked hybrid knight started targeting me. Every interaction would be a trial by fire to see if I was good enough to dodge him and/or his pills while still being able to aim at him. Previously I would be unable to deal with demoknights on 2fort cause of the tight corridors but now I can deal with them semi consistently

Depends on the situation; if you can surf the rocket or know that taking the splash will leave you at a respectable enough of a health pool to secure the kill then yeah.

When I see scouts not using double jump I sometimes feel like they will die and 80% of the time they do. So here is why double jump should be used. First: Soldiers splash damage is denied since you are like a flying target and when you get more air time you can strafe more meaning the soldier will be confused and you get a kill. 2 pyros can't reach you and you can take high ground and avoid demos pipes and stickys.

@euugh88773 жыл бұрын
Mge is the practice: But here are some tips: -If you're facing a scout, stay on the ground and move in a unpredictictable way, but also try to track your oponent. The main thing is you want to try to mirror his movement while juking shots in the same time. -if youre facing a soldier, fight him at medium range and jump away from his rockets. If gets too close, try to jump over his head. The main trick here is to jump but also shoot in the same time. It may throw you off but it will make you a good scout -for the demo, same thing as soldier, really. One cool thing you can do is destroy his stickies with your gun. General scout tip: if your playing casual, jump and do parkour around the map in every situation. Every pro scout knows it is important to jump on the props or to take cover just to throw people off. To make your movement better simply join an. Empty map and try to do cool jumps on certain props high ledges and try to track items. I hope this helps you, because you see, it took a lot to write. :)
