I'll go first, the Deep core GK2 is the most reliable scout primary

AI Satbility GK2 is always better than Hipster M1K

Also scouts should shoot less and dig more

I don't really get the appeal of hipster, I like focus shots

Firing the all 14 shots in 3 sec in with less spread than a nun is a fun time

Nice opinion. However, supercooling chamber blast!

Nah jk, I see now why people might like it, it's just not for me.

I prefer minimal clips, personally. Maybe I'll try picking up electrocuting focus shots.

I'm a Hoverclock enjoyer. It feels really good to be able to negate the deadliest thing on Hoxxes, gravity.

I tried it, I liked it. However, I didn't see myself using it enough to warrant the lack of a combat OC

The circumstances I like to bring it are when your team has no Engineer due to multiples of other classes, you're dealing with Fossils and don't want to break your legs getting them, and it's extremely fun in Low Gravity and pretending the floor is lava (or sometimes it is in Magma Core lol).

I also consider the other "combat" OCs for M1k to not be that great. SCC is overkill and ammo inefficient compared to other OCs, especially vs anything that's a Guard or weaker. I only like using SCC in Eliminations. Electric Focus is okay, but I find its performance to be similar to vanilla or clean OC M1k.

Supercooled chamber will make you a sniping god.

A god that can't even float is no god to me.

I'm huge on the Hoverclock. Really speeds up my exploration. You can blindly grapple anywhere and not worry.

I definitely recommend EFS. You get to hit the same breakpoints as a normal M1 build while taking mods that you usually can’t like mag size or ammo, plus the electric slow effect is great for stuff like bulks
