G7 Scout rendered useless ??

Incredibly slow and incredibly poor since patch.

Seemed strong but balanced before it.

Now it seems you can catch someone with their back turned, pump 7 shots in them, break their shields, and still get killed first.

Even mozambique or p2020 seem more viable weapons than it now.

What weapon can viably take it's place for a G7 user??

...mainly sad because used to be one of my least favourite weapons before becoming my go-to. Now seems useless and redundant.

  • I still love it with iron sights (especially since they fixed the swaying reticle) and a hop-up, but that's just me.

    I used to main the G7 as well, and the nerf is noticeable to me.

    Damage is still significant, and even tho it’s now an assault rifle, I won’t be using the G7 in close quarter engagements as I once did.

  • @Jem450R The doubletap was one of the things that first got me interested in it... and someone repeatedly shredding my shields with it.

    I started deciding to leave the hop-up off, or pick it and switch off as that rate of fire was an issue.

    Double tap was more viable when using at long range i found.

    Might have to go back to 301 and 99, but i find that a bit boring.

    @1ronKeysI was going on rages with the G7 last night I had at least 3 1000+ Damage games last night with the G7.

    I’m actually better with the G7 and wingman then a R-301 or r-99.. something about single fire guns. Ironically I do terrible with the PK.

    In the first Battlefront i was huge on the single fire or burst guns.

    I actually surprised that i started maining the G7/single fire tho. And I've really enjoyed that i have been.

    I hate the wingman tho, sometimes i do good with it, but i seem to get a lot of registry issues or often i hit and don't think i have. 

    Someone's recommending hemlok on single fire... I'm tempted to give it a try.

    @Cro_Pittt I haven't really been about to see the complaints for OP.

    I just hopped on in heartbreak as i really enjoyed maining a single fire weapon. Sucks a bit of life out of the game for me to just switch to spamming 99 and 301 fire.
  • Thanks for all the Hemlok single fire suggestions... i plan on giving it a try when i next drop.

    R.i.p my sweet G7. 

    Right after buying legendary skin for it too 🤦‍♂️

    @Cabowse I was landing head shots for 50-68 damage last night. Considering how versatile the gun is. i’d say that’s fairly solid.
