Scout

— The Scout

 Icon

The **Scout** is one of the four playable dwarves of Deep Rock Galactic.

His primary weapon set consists of the Deepcore GK2, the M1000 Classic, and the DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine while his secondaries consist of the Jury-Rigged Boomstick, the Zhukov NUK17s, and the Nishanka Boltshark X-80. He has the Grappling Hook, the Flare Gun, and the "Fox" Armor Rig as his equipment and the Inhibitor-Field Generator, the Cryo Grenade, the Pheromone Canister, and the Voltaic Stun Sweeper as his throwables.

### About

 — Class Description

The Scout boasts the fastest mobility in the game due to his reusable Grappling Hook and is the only class who wields a unique Flare Gun that can be used to light up much larger areas than normal Flares (though he still retains the ability to toss normal flares like the other dwarves).

The Scout can choose from four different types of grenades: The Inhibitor-Field Generator (IFG) which slows enemies down and increases their damage taken, the Cryo Grenade which applies freeze and can potentially freeze most enemies instantly, the Pheromone Canister which covers enemies in pheromones, turning them into targets for other enemies to attack, and the Voltaic Stun Sweeper which attacks enemies up to 9 times, stunning them and applying electrocution.

### Equipment

All classes have twelve pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using  Credits and crafting resources. There are currently four unlockable weapons per class. Each weapon has its own assignment. Once a weapon assignment has been completed, that weapon can then be purchased from the upgrade terminal.

  **Jury-Rigged Boomstick** Shotgun
