1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

Scout rifles are so annoying that way :|

Or are they battle rifles? Anyhap.

Exactly the same thing, except that only Infiltrators can use scout rifles.

[Ozyton]

Scout rifles come in variants that are semi-auto but are more damaging than battle rifles (HSR-1, AF-6 Shadow, Nyx VX31), and full-auto but less damaging (SOAS-20, AF-18 Stalker, Artemis VX26), and then the Vandal which is probably the only scout rifle I ever see anyone using. The full-auto scout rifles appear to be very similar to 143 damage tier assault rifles.

Anyways, had quite a bit of fun playing yesterday even though it was a back and forth battle against the TR. Lots of open ground combat, a nice change of pace from base battles. Got a bit aggravated when we were capturing a base and with 30 seconds left on a 6 minute timer (so basically we were sitting around twiddling our thumbs for 5 minutes) the Vanu comes out of nowhere in force and manages to kill everyone who wasn't guarding the point I was at, and with no backup we got slaughtered too. If we were fighting with the blueberries it would have been a different story. EDIT: I forgot to mention that while we were sitting around they went ahead and destroyed our sunder since nobody was guarding it, so we had no way to respawn.

Nah man, Warden is vastly superior to Vandal, because it has a lot less recoil and you can actually hipfire it.

[Duuvian]

I don't have the Vandal but I have the semi-auto scout rifle for NC. I like the Warden much more than the semi-auto scout rifle. It's recoil is much more controllable for me. I would not recommend hip firing with the warden except within a very few meters.

Warden is my standard gun for engineer, but I don't use it with HA or medics.

I've heard people say the main advantage of the Vandal is the .75 ADS movement speed.

[Aklyon]

Awesome run was awesome. I'm better at air gunnery than I thought as it turns out, especially when the galaxy survives for so long.

[zombat]

I like how the new starter packs are a side arm, a main gun, and attachments that only unlock for that gun.

Congrats on showing players from the very start what a greedy bunch of tossers you are Sony.

[Skyrunner]

What are you talking about? Attachments always unlock only for one gun.

[zombat]

Which for certs is fine, but for SC? No.

Theres still no disclaimer that states that attachments bought with SC only unlock for that gun.

[Sonlirain]

True they should give that nformatium since ulocking some weapons unlock them for every character on your account. YOu'd kinda expect that unlocking a scope with SC will unlock it on every gun you own or something but no dice.

[Skyrunner]

Unlocking a scope with SC unlocks it for every character that has that gun. Or that's what I believe happens.

[zombat]

It does, but unless its an NS weapon that feature is useless for >90% of players

I don't see what's the problem here. :/ They've always done unlocks that way, so why are you complaining about it? >_>

[Nighthawk]

In other news, I have finally ascended from noob status to decent player. I can now pretty reliably have a positive K/D after each spawn, hooray!

Getting that straight pull bolt attachment made all the difference.

[Rex_Nex]

It does help. What helps even more is not playing an infil!

[TolyK]

Yeah, I'd suggest playing another class before playing infiltrator. Such as engineer.

I say this though I've got about 80-90% of my time in infiltrator. Because I play aggressively with my low-zoom bolt action.
