## Guides

### **General**

The Cavalry Scout is a class whose role is to provide vision to his allies so that they know what is coming and can prepare accordingly. Later on the game becomes a modest damage dealer. In situation of prolonged stay in one place, he is also charged with exploring and providing supply to his team by bringing the useful items he can find.

Cavalry Scout weapon is a specific assault rifle, the carbine, that has lower range but higher attack speed. It can further be improved by the Steel Saber [ST] Skill Identifier.

Cavalry Scout and Ghost both have the Motion Sensor ability, that is very effective in predicting zombies attacks ; they must coordinate to give the best of those 2 sensors (and not set them in the same place).

### **Recommended Skill Identifiers**

 Whiz Kid [WK]
 Veteran [VT]

Use [QT] or [HE] as a remplacement for [ST].

### **Recommended Items**

* Cavalry Scout is allowed to use the following weapons: SOF-AR, HK42, US MCR, M5-MAR, and Styner BR-2.

Kevlar Body Armor
 M5-MAR
MGL
40mm Grenade
Explosive Charges
MRL
 US MCR
SO-FAR
Aim Assist
Scope

/!\ The cavalry scout has no priority over any item : the armors and KIs should go to medics, the DPS items should go to DPS classes.

### **Recommended Ability Build**

Note that Soldier Skills can be leveled up further for the extra movement speed (level 3) and the Rifle butt (level 4).
