pretty self explanatory, only good thing about it is the spotting flare everything else is bad…cannot get any kills with any of the guns. I light up the enemy for 80-90 damage then they gun me down before I can pull back the bolt and let off another shot. Taking out the secondaries take too much time. Sniper shields are only good for blocking the tops of ladders, periscope and decoys are just meh.. the experimental semi auto sniper is a gimmick. Scout gets a 2/10 ---

I agree with you the sniper shots have to be instant kills accept if they are from too far away or in the legs…this must be fixed…i don’t use just for this reason ---

Out of the 4 classes, scout is where I do best. You’re just not accurate enough and don’t utilize your tools well enough to make the class viable. Snipers are instant kills, called sweet spots or getting a headshot. The experimental could do with a minor buff but it allows a alternative playstyle regardless. ---

I would have to toally disagree with you guys on this, I have over 8,000 kills with just sniper rifles and most of the time I’m on first place on my team for operations. Practice and you will get better thats all their is to it, don’t expect to just rush with them and do the same as with a smg That will take alot of practice. ---

Try the MKIII carbine or the gewehr 95 carbine. Get rid of that spot light (scope glint). The 1903 experimental isn’t bad once you get used to it. ---

I think the scout class is a defensive class that’s only useful for defend flags. If you are trying to level it up go to hardcore mode. All snipers are one shots most the time, every now and then they’ll be a 2 shot ---

Dude I was totally you three weeks ago. I started the post “SCOUT CLASS sucks” Then I found the G95 carbine x2 RED DOT. Now I can PTFO. I have finished first over all a few times now so that is all the proof I need. YOUR WELCOME! ---

It’s not that bad. One or two will placed rounds and the guy is down. Tho those sniper shields pisses me off sometimes. Was using a stationary artillery on a sniper using it and kept on getting 2-3 hit markers on the shield. Not getting any hit marker on the guy hiding behind it and he killed me through the stationary view spot. ---

The Scout is my favorite class. You just have to know how to strategically play as a sniper. You can’t rush in like a Support and rain lead on your enemies then rack up kills and points. Me personally, I “SCOUT” for enemies on a objective from a distance and close in slowly until I feel it’s safe. Also, a solution for your frustration you have against enemies that gun you down before you have a chance to fire a second round is simple. When you shoot them with a bolt action rifle, quickly release your secondary on them. The damage on a Scout’s rifle is pretty high so a single handed gun should clear the enemy in like 1-3 bullets. Happy Scouting 😄 ---

If you think this class is bad then oh my. Work on your aim or something. You’re a sniper. You should be going for head shots. ---

Omg what headshots are you talking about if sniper hit you it will reap you apart ---

I wouldn’t say it’s bad I’d say it’s selfish.. the guns are OP but the equipment makes it very hard to PTFO and stay top of the leader board. I can get an 8.0 KD with the scout class have like 30-40 kills in a match and still finish outside the top 15 at end game. You are not going to get anywhere close, point wise, to someone who is throwing down meds and ammo, with the equipment given to scout. spotting points are ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯! On top of that, unless you are an extremely aggressive scout you wont get as many capture points either. Typical scout play is outside of the objective looking in. I’d say the only time scouts will finish top of the leader board are very specific game modes like defending in operations and defending in rush other than that its just plain selfish. ---

The scout class is actually pretty OP in the hands of a good player. ---

Sniper shields are only good for blocking the tops of ladders, periscope and decoys are just meh.. the experimental semi auto sniper is a gimmick. Scout gets a 2/10 Iv found this to be case also but thats because im not a good scout im more assault,it only happens when I get to aggresive and go cqb so im probably just going to have to pick my targets better or like previously suggested try the 1903. I personally think the spotting flare isnt that good either (compared to predecesors )but as its supposed to be fitting with the theme,and promotes teamwork (having support for resupply)it will have to do ---
