Advice/tips/guides for a new scout? (lemmy.world)

So, finally decided to pick the game up recently, and really enjoying it. But, I do have to admit, I'm a little rusty with shooters in general, and the scout role is pretty chaotic sometimes.

Anyone have advice/tips/reliable guides they prefer for the scout class specifically?

What kinds of things do scouts do, especially newbie ones, that kinda bug you? What are the things a really good scout does that marks them as a really good scout?

So far, I find myself focusing kinda heavily on combat just because it's an obvious thing I can do, and zipping behind a bug to blast it in the ass with a shotgun is really fun. I assume that's not really my #1 job though. I keep our cave lit up pretty reliably, but should I be doing more ... actual scouting I assume?

Mining and lighting the area is usually your job as scout. For combat taking advantage of you range and high burst damage try to take out high priority buys to help you team out and use grapple mobility to get to bugs weak spots

Also For Lighting try hitting high spot to use as much light radius as you can.
