I'd been trying this build on this challenge a few times now without success but now I finally did it! Not only my Lightfoot Gold earner and my first Assassinate win but also my first Scout win as any build other than Gun Kata!
I actually passed up or ended up ditching a lot of nice guns (JAC SMG, Storm SMG, Nail Gun, AV3 Sustain Rocket Launcher and 3 different Bio Launchers) because it seemed a lot better to focus on melee fully and not take up space with ammo here. Grenades and more healing seemed like a better use of my inventory.
Skill-wise I knew from experience that while Dodgemaster 1 is a good idea, 2 and 3 would be a waste. After that Skilled 1 (2 would be redundant, I had Silent and I don't think it stacks) and then Energy Leech 3 (wonderful synergy with Assassinate Level 3 and Silent - if you start with 30 Energy then you can Stealth and Assassinate twice and get most of that Energy back!). Dash 2 and 3 didn't do much here given I wasn't often running around un-stealthed with enemies around but I couldn't think of better uses for the perk points.
The Demonic Sword was actually pretty awesome here, doing great damage and a bit of welcome healing! Much better when your build is fully compatible with it unlike Blademaster.
Only didn't get 100% kills because I left Beyond L1 early due to getting confused by the teleporter sigil this time.
