They use a hybrid vest, medium vest protection but a light's speed bonus. Only reason they seem fast, is the surplus of stamina. Easy way to get em is usually with a pretty direct shot, a lot of the specs are pretty thin overall. Still not resistant to bullets or explosives, plant some traps of your own to catch em off guard.

Take the time to land your shots, burst (even if you have full auto only) and shots land better. I've found burst shots at a range, usually land a lot easier to those full-auto shots people do. Really the most OP could be considered Hawk, due to how resilient he is in various fights. Not to mention you can use full speed gear, to outmaneuver most specs if done properly.

I've actually used I think 13% speed and outran most Hornet traps. Not to mention I still ran past those turrets, and put bullets in the back of those spec users. They complain how unfair we are, despite their tools we can still turn the tides. In matches like Quarantine where it's a lot harder, I can see the point but still in normal Elim type scenarios it's pretty hard for them to win.

Fun thing to do if you get bored, play in a REC Elim with Super Soldiers on. Get infected and use it to tactically drop onto people, and kill em quickly with it to hear the complaints. You get more complaining from players, when you drop in out of nowhere (fun on Oil Rig/Waverider and other height scaled maps) and ambush the players. Most expect you to run up in their face, or from the side to kill them but from the skies? Not likely, and get called a fly hacker no less for it. xD
