Scout already has massive mobility with the grappling hook, but SPECIAL POWDER turns your shotgun into a self-contained propellant device. When ever you fire it you are propelled instantly at high speed in the opposite direction as long as your feet aren't touching the ground. Combine this with the grappling hook and you can pull off some serious moves. It also has the benefit of negating fall damage if you fire it at the ground right before you hit. This works dropping from any height. Most importantly, it has no consequences for the combat viability of the Boomstick which remains just as powerful of a close/medium range weapon as it is always is.
This is the perfect cavern for SPECIAL POWDER. I'm not sure I would have had the skill to pull this Point Extraction out with no downs without extensive use of SPECIAL POWDER for the second half of the mission.
