Since Scout is now an assault rifle, its accuracy need to be nerfed

The Scout is now as accurate as sniper rifles when it comes to bullet dispersion. And because of its high damage and high fire rate. Many players use it in place of sniper rifles.

Since the Scout has the higher DPS than ALL sniper rifles, sniper rifles are almost ignored by players in ranked.

Please increase the bullet dispersion of the Scout to match its category.

    playing this weapon since Day 1 and always thought it‘s definitely the most underrated one ^^
    But, yeah, I know what you mean, and I could never understand why anyone would take another sniper but the scout even though I only play it as a midrange weapon with a HOKV sight.

    Just wondering why it needs to be nerfed after it being called an assault rifle? If they would still call it a sniper it would be fine?

    in that case I‘d like to change the topic to ‚make the scout a sniper rifle again‘ xD 

    Now that I think of it, this would actually be a sick nerf since you have to carry an enormous amount of ammo stacks...

    oh wait, what have I just said? Nevermind!!! Leave my scout alone please :D

    If the scout needs a nerf, then so does the hemlock 😉

    Personally I think they're both fine, it's snipers that by and large suck.

    Backpack changes and Evo shield have helped, but engaging at ranges where snipers excel still isn't a tactically sound strategy.

    Moreover the separation of sniper ammo has made transitioning away from snipers (a necessity in the latter rings) much less reliable. (You not only have to find a suitable replacement weapon with attachments, but also enough ammo)
