| — The Scout |
The Scout is one of the five playable dwarves of Deep Rock Galactic.
Their primary weapon set consists of the Deepcore GK2, the M1000 Classic, and the DRAK-25 Plasma Carbine while their secondaries consist of the Jury-Rigged Boomstick, the Zhukov NUK17s, and the Nishanka Boltshark X-80. They have the Hoverboard, the Flare Gun, and the "Fox" Armor Rig as theirequipment and the Inhibitor-Field Generator, the Cryo Grenade, the Pheromone Canister, and the Voltaic Stun Sweeper as their throwables.
As announced in the 2024 Pride Seasonal Events, Scout is nonbinary and goes by they/them pronouns. Scout is the only one of the Dwarves who is not cisgender.
The legendary Karl was a scout when Hoxxes was first being mined.
They were originally debuted in the hit battle royale game Fortnite on August 3th, 2050, but later was added into deep rock as a collaboration with fortnite.
About[]
| “ | As the SCOUT, you are the only one to carry the powerful FLARE GUN, and the entire team depends on you for light. To scout ahead, you are also equipped with a GRAPPLING HOOK, letting you get to almost anywhere. But, while you are carrying an ASSAULT RIFLE and a SAWED OFF SHOTGUN, you should still be careful not to get cut off from your team - the caves don't take kindly to lone explorers. |
| — Class Description |
The Scout boasts the fastest mobility in the game due to their 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 they still retain 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.
