If anyone is wondering, HEAT cannon and submachine gun.

I'm pretty disappointed, was hoping for something more interesting.

I don't know, HEAT on scout gives you some RIDICULOUS reach. Seems OP imo.

Then why not just pick infiltrator, I feel like this should be changed, scout needs close combat weapons.

What would you propose for the flak over the Mini-flak (Super powerful atm), Flak (Still strong), and SMG (Arguably better than the vulcan)?

No, the tertiary weapon unlock gives you a choice to replace the big flak with SMG or Heat cannon.

That the lamest thing ever :(

there should also be a secondary weapon replace, the heat and the mini would be AMAZING.

Scout is suposed to be a close combat spec, it should have weapons that excel in that role, obviously some of those can be better than others at longer ranges, but their most effective range should be up close or else its just intruding into others mechs field, notice smg+tow is exact same loadout as assault.
Both flaks are amazing weapons at close range, I think they should make new weapons, maybe this could be the mech to have a flamethrower for example.

I didn't say it was bad, just uninteresting. Given I play A class mech's exclusively this pretty much just gives me to the option to make my scout play like my inf.

I mostly use the HEAT cannon for indirect fire, that coupled with the grenade launcher is unmatched for corner humping combat.

And we're just stating our opinions in which ones need to be changed and what we'd like to see. Isn't that what we are here for?

The Rocketeer also has the Heat Cannon to unlock at 20. I was hoping for another missile weapon to test --- but instead I just got something that pales in comparison to Seekers.

To be honest, most things will pale in comparison to a gun that does most of the aiming for you.

The Seeker will not retain its damage for long, it will be adjusted shortly. I was talking more along the lines of 'lack of imagination' terms.

I'd say the seeker is pretty unimaginative as it is :P
Also, making all the weapons rockets because it's called the rocketeer seems somewhat lacking in outside-the-box thinking

I would like a close range flame based weapon. Could be a flame thrower(low damage, but adds heat to opponent) or alternatively a smoke gernade(minimal damage, but obstructs vision if direct hit occurs). Both of these suggestions would certianly enhance the close range style of the scout and at the same time make the mech weaker at medium to long range.

Be happy that Scout gets 2 weapons.. some mechs doesent get anything.
And who cares what it gets if you got both Flaks - most OP weapons in the game, as starting weapon.

If any mech doesn't need a lvl20 unlock, it's the Scout.
