The Scout is one of the basic military classes that one may encounter during the events of Desert Thunder and Desert Fox.
Appearance[]
Scouts differ in appearance, though they are usually male characters dressed in casual desert attire (that is, for a terrorist). They may be wearing a pair of desert goggles or a simple white Shemagh
Overview[]
The main force of the Sand Hog militants consists solely of Scouts, who will appear almost everywhere throught the city of Mogadishu. They consist of a terrorist equipped with light desert camouflage and a . They have no specific vest, making them easy prey to even the simplest Sniper Rifle.
Scouts come in four different sub-classes.
Standard Scout[]
The most common type of Scout wields an UZI, and they are a very common enemy that can be dangerous in large groups.
Gunner Scout[]
The next type of Scout may wield an M60 Machine Gun, who fires it in short, controlled bursts. They appear less often and seem to be less accurate, but they should still be taken out nonetheless.
Demolitionist Scout[]
The third type of Scout wields a LAW (though several of them wear RPGs); the rocket can prove to be trouble against your team, so they are an annoyance that needs to be taken out first. They will often appear side-by-side with the higher ranked members of the Sand Hog as well as with a group of standard scouts.
Sniper Scout[]
The last and most uncommon type of Scout is the Sniper Scout, who utilizes an M24 sniper rifle. Though their overall accuracy and damage are still weak due to their AI-programming, they can be devastatingly efficient team-killers on Hard or Extreme Mode. They will often aim for the head and may sometimes get OHKO shots on unsuspecting players. Luckily, snipers don't appear too much, but you can expect to see them on rooftops and hidden away where they are hard to reach.
Scouts are outranked by the Patrols.
