When I am playing as Scout (which is very rare) I am only hitting for 80 unless it is straight to the head. I get the one shot if the person I am sniping is already damaged. It gets really frustrating when I try to play with the kit definitely against medics I will hit for 79 they will duck down throw the Health crate and pop back up. Can someone explain the sweet spot and how to find it. Also what is the best zero’ing \<— Guess I can use that word. I find myself just keeping it on 150 “Like shouldn’t a sniper be like a OHK within 100-125m” I only played Scout to get the kit to lvl 10 and I did that by running around with the Experimental. Thanks in advance ---

Most of the scout rifles have a sweet spot distance where they do 100 damage to anywhere on the body Go to this link: [http://symthic.com/bf1-weapon-charts?recon=1&sort=Class&adsc=DESC](http://symthic.com/bf1-weapon-charts?recon=1&sort=Class&adsc=DESC) It shows what the sweet spot distance is for each ---

The arms, legs and lower torso have lower damage modifiers so won’t do 100 damage and get the OHK. ---

a good way of finding best range is to use trench periscope. look at the target you want and on the left hand side is a bar it will show you the range to target. then adjust your zero to suit ---

The bar graphs show the bullet damage but distance. For example the Gewehr 98 Infantry (first gun on the chart) does does 80 damage for 0 - 60m. At 60m it starts to increase in damage until it gets to 80m where it does 100 damage. And then from 80m to 120m it does 100 damage, and after 120m it begins to decrease damage again. So simply look at the chart, find the gun you want, and then look to see at what distances it does 100 damage. That area where it does 100 damage is its sweet spot ---
