Marauder Scout Walker

A smaller version of the Heavy Marauder Walker, the Scout Walker is faster and still armed with powerful weapons. Where it does not compare to the Heavy Walker is in its armour and shielding.

The Scout Walker is much more nimble than the Mantis Heavy Walker, but it is still rather cumbersome and slow when compared to the Exo Suits. Still, the added shielding and armour is a welcome trade-off, particularly when facing larger concentrations of hostile units. Pay close attention to the Walker's shields, indicated by the blue meter surrounding the health metre in the bottom right corner of the screen. As the shields become depleted, consider retreating, giving them a few seconds to recharge before resuming combat. The walker's chain lightning beams operate similar to the Arc Welder. Simply hold down the trigger for a bolt of electricity that arcs across multiple targets - this is ideal for taking out large groups of infantry. For heavier targets like structures or enemy Walkers, use the powerful convergence laser. Keep the reticle focused on your target as the lasers converge, setting off a massive explosion. Like the Mantis and Inferno GX, the Scout Walker is equipped with a visualization mode optics package, (Default Key: Z) highlighting the heat signatures of targets. This makes it much easier to identify targets on the planet's dusty surface.
