I haven't tried it out that much, but the group I was in, we made it to escalation level 10 I think, it was pretty chaotic.
Yeah, unless you're a crack shot with the sniper rifles, the Scientist never really improves aside from the support aspect. If you you can use his chameleon skill and learn how to best use your turrets you can get loads of assists and kills. His rockets are also devastating with lock ons. I'm at lvl 25 with my scientist and it doesn't matter what weapons or perks im using, if another enemy gets me in his sights and he has more health than me, im dying 9/10.
I keep making it to lvl 22 or 23 on escalation before dying. Anytime i can group up with players who want to work as a team and pick a character that is going to best suit the team and not their kill streak, i always go far.
Heres a helpful tip, if you go get downed while next to the health station, you can buy health and heal yourself. I cant tell you how many rounds i beat as the last one alive just by sitting on that health station. The scatter blaster is also a must
