Scout feels overpowered compared to other classes to me

I am a fairly new player (35ish hrs so far, in my process of getting characters to 25 and other early progressions). Usually playing with friend or two instead of Solo.

I have to say that the Scout's hook gun feels like it completely dwarfs anything other classes could offer for actually getting the missions done efficiently and getting the fuck out to me (even the area lights are a nice bonus), to the point it's almost unfair lol.

I can be in a team without a driller or an engineer but I don't want a Scout-less team - it's just that good to have one, so i make one of my friends play one if I am leveling another class.

With exception of I guess the boss fights, where a Gunner does feel nice, though the Boomstick can still do lots of work - I catch myself defaulting to Scout cuz the conviniece and just being able to essentially bypass everything other classes have to deal with. And honestly even combat wise the Mobility os so good for getting out of tight spots the lower AOE dmg is more than a worthy trade off.

And especially in the more annoying mission types and cave layouts the more valuable it is to be able to just skip climbing/digging - sometimes we just both go scout to get done with the run quickly lol
