"These friendly robot dogs can identify the presence of enemies concealed by the fog of war. Built from the Barracks, their On the Hunt ability extends their vision range, making them ideal for scouting, while their slowing claws also make them super effective anti-ground harassers."

- Unit description^(src)

The S.C.O.U.T. is a Vanguard unit in Stormgate.

Gameplay

S.C.O.U.Ts are produced from the barracks. They are dogs who can shoot lasers from their eyes, and whose heightened senses allow them to detect enemy units beyond their sight range. They are a fast unit, good for scouting.

The S.C.O.U.T. can directly attack enemies, but their attack is weak. It can be upgraded to do bonus damage against certain armor types. It is a mechanical unit, and can thus be repaired.

A single S.C.O.U.T. is always available from the outset in multiplayer when playing as the Vanguard.

One S.C.O.U.T. can be loaded into a sentry post to convert it into a Sentry array granting it an increased vision radius which can be increased even further with its Vision Surge ability.
