Knox’s Proficiency Plugin: Reaper Scout

Introducing the Reaper Scout, the second of 4 psuedo-hero units. This class is not meant to be a replacement to the Proficiency Reaper, but to be used along side the Proficiency Reaper. The Reaper Scout is intended to be a variant of the Reaper with only one (intentionally) existing in the entire campaign.

A scout like no other, the Reaper Scout dominates their field when it comes to recon and mobility, using their Shotgun and Pistol, they strike from the shadows to kill their enemies. The Reaper Scout is made to have a low amount of Active Abilities, but a high amount of passives.

Use Additional Soldier Commands to rebuild your soldier. (RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass)

The Reaper Scout can only be brought into the field by using one of two current methods.

• 1: Training a Rookie to be the class in the GTS.
• 2: Using Shiremct’s Choose My Class mod and making a custom Character Pool Character with the class (kjr12’s Use My Class also works).
