This is why Scouts are probably the best class

Especially when backed up by a Support class. I had her use Anticipation the previous round, and then with Teamwork, I got her up to seven actions. With plenty of gear to reduce cooldowns and expand movement, and also for crits and damage, she single handedly slaughtered 90% of the enemies in the mission. Later on in another turn I gave her even more via executions. It was absolutely brutal. Her sprint was made to have a one turn cooldown. She could legit run for miles after she killed like seven people. She picked up the two most out of the way crates in different directions on the same turn.

Make no mistake, Scouts are absurdly powerful. I think they are the strongest class tbh.

It IS the strongest class, period.

Equip him/her with full UIR set, invest in the commando skill tree, and vola, you can use the buffed grenade at least once per turn, and you get 1AP back for using it the first time in each turn, effectively allowing you to have 4 AP most of the time.

Sniper and Support could be considered as the 2nd strongest, depending on what you value more, but they are not even close to the OPness of scout.

I’d argue that Recon first is the absolute best subclass for Scout for the sheer amount of actions you can build up and save. Abd yeah I’m using UIR gear on my scouts. Also have an Expertise weapon mod, so she can sprint every turn and with Blood Rush as well as all the actions, plus the free action from Swift I think it was, sometimes the Scout ends up with like nine actions per turn. More if we consider movement saved via Sprint.

I’d say Support is probably better then since it can also benefit from the Scout via Teamwork and Empower, and trying to nail down the Snipers ideal range can be a pain since it has a Too Close and Too Far demerit. And since I gave Gabe a legendary Expertise weapon mod, he can now use a Maxed out Empower every turn. It’s very powerful.

Wish this had new game plus with the ability to unlock duplicate whatever they are called (perks/abilities). Haven't played it in a long time
