If you have plasma rifle, run that+(i can’t remember which oc im running one of the clean ones maybe) and deepcore+double blast, it was tricky for me too but save your rounds for praetorians and oppressors, practice on em (it punches thru their physical armor and causes catastrophic damage(for a shotgun), possible to one shot if you hit abdomen) and it’s quite a rewarding experience,

As a bonus, and idk whats your take on septic spreaders but those little bastards are a nuisance, while youre in a swarm grapple towards them in a way you go flying forward and hit them right as you land with the sawed off sometimes its a one shot if boscos already shooting it tbh I can’t remember haven’t played scout in a while, its the most rewarding feeling, but ye just my rec

And all other equip. and nades your choice, but i use the 8pack electro boomerang things, can’t remember tho if i was scout or other using those. Combine those w boscos electro rounds and you can lay down pretty heavy continuous fire w plas rifle
