I believe the headshot one-shot kill range for the Mini Scout should be capped at 100m.
The reason is that the Mini Scout outperforms all other sniper rifles at nearly every distance, rendering the other three sniper rifle types obsolete.
If the headshot one-shot kill range cannot be limited to 100m, I think it would be acceptable to increase the attachment requirement points for the Mini Scout by about 10.
Certainly, there are still many unsatisfactory elements with sniper rifles overall.
I also believe that one-shot kills to the torso significantly diminish the appeal of sniper rifles, so I hope that element is removed promptly.
I agree the Mini Scout is a fantastic gun on its own merits, but what puzzles me is that despite its description labeling it as mid-range, it performs just as well or even better than other snipers at long range.
It's a shame to see it underused when there are other compelling sniper rifles available.
I've got the Miniskout.
I posted because I had doubts about the part saying it's easier to use than other snipers at any distance, even though the weapon description clearly states it's meant for mid-range combat. Despite that, I can easily take down enemies over 150m away just like other snipers.
I play in Japan, but are there really no players in other countries who have this same question?
I didn't make this post because I kept getting killed by the Mini Scout. On the contrary, I posted because I had doubts about the part saying it's “designed for medium range” and “despite the weapon description,” it can still reliably take down enemies over 150m away like other snipers, and it's easier to use than other snipers at any distance.

so you came here because you keep getting owned by the mini scout? Thats what i make of this post. Its a sniper deal with it, smoke or stay away from Blackwell SNIPER fields. Not going to nerf guns because you keep getting slayed by it, stay in cover, smoke, stay out of the open!
Or an easier solution would be.. just complete the requirements to achieve the Mini Scout yourself. Then if you're good enough with a sniper it's a balanced playing field 🤷
Most of my deaths to snipers are PSR or M2010. I liked the mini scout because it automagically gets the ADS bolt, but I use the ADS bolt with irons on all my rifles anyways because all I want to do is smoke useless snipers.
If I were to say anything about snipers, it's that the damage falloff bell scale is moronic. BUT, I also think the 1 shot body kill is stupid as well. They are in a bad place because it's stupid easy to get kills with them in BF6, even more so because they deleted the real suppresion mechanic and now snipers just get free reign to be... not great people.
Maybe also the SV needs a buff. The effective range needs to be extended towards the lower spectrum by about 10-15 meters.
The MS though, it's great where it is.
