Can the SCAR be good?

[Ash//Fox]

Compared to the other weapons in it's class it seems like it lacks something that makes it good. The FAL can be equipped with high capacity mags, or a dodge conversion kit which are really nice options to have either way. The G3 can swap over to being a lower damage higher ammo assault rifle, or a DMR which I guess are okay.. but what does the SCAR have? It's low base concealment is bad, and it's small pool of unique mods don't help towards making it a dodge build and even fully modified it's still kinda mediocre. Seems on paper like it's only benefit is being unlocked at level 0. Anything good?

It's pretty much a battlerifle with the highest stability and accuracy stats i think, im sure it can get to 100/100 without skills but i might be wrong there, otherwise its a nice looking gun with some skins i guess, I'd still use the AK17 over it.

SCAR does high damage and have high accuracy, then just set it on single fire mode, get 23 detection and upgrade lowblow to get 30% critic chance. Can do more damage with berserker skill.
I recommend anarchist perk deck with berserker.

[Cloaker86]

its good indeed, just not as good as the more expensive options like the AK, G3 or FN FAL

[Camera Man]

If I remember correctly, it does have the highest base accuracy of all the 100 damage ARs. Being a 100 Damage AR, it should be manageable if you bring a ammo efficient SMG as main weapon and think of the 100 Damage AR like the Krinkov/ CR 805 B.

Almost all ARs can be viable if you Aced Surefire and Aced Body Expertise. Hell even AMCAR.

If possible, go for Crit build with it as well.

this:
it does helps the amcar more about the many mods you can put on it, using the dlc long silencer makes it viable for sniping too

I like the Scar. It's stats are pretty good, and it's ammo pick up is fairly good as well. There are always gonna be better options but for a change of scenery I'd recommend using it.

100 Damage ARs & DMRs suck.

Use lower damage ARs with crits and hold down left click or use a sniper rifle if you want good single shot capabilities.

High damage ARs aren't the most optimal choice amongst the entire weapon family, but they're fun and satisfying to use IMO. They won't be 1-shotting tans unless you're using two damage boosters like berserk, overkill aced, crits together. Use single fire to save ammo on everything else and auto to quickly dispatch threats, like dozers closing in.

I tend to fall back on it a lot after leveling up infamy, it's unlocked pretty much from the very start, as I recall. Also it's my main weapon on the switch version, because it's the only weapon I can reliably get kills with on controller without gyro aim, because of it's high damage and ammo pickup rate. Also it's quite a satisfying weapon to use. I like the sounds it makes.

It's not like your using 100 damage ARs or DMRs on single fire permanently. Just switch to full auto when you want to vomit on a bulldozer.

what you're basically saying is that they're a jack of all trades weapon type

Which they are.

Which is bad.

Because most of the good skills in this game depend on specializing in particular weapon types.

Not really. Single fire is there so you don't burn your entire mag. Even then, It's more of a DMR situation as your more or less fine without fine even without keeping an 100 Damage AR at single fire.

High damage SMGs have the same general idea of high damage low total ammo/pickup which you would generally pair it with a more ammo efficient primary like the Union. So why are 100 Damage ARs excluded when Krinkov or CR 805B are considered meta.

[The man, the myth, the leg]

i personally like combining 100 dmg ARs witha good 100 dmg Smg(peronal fave. ak7.62+krink)
with some trigger discipline you can keep both guns at full auto with little ammo issues

[Cerise]

I'd recommend just using a sniper rifle over any DMR.
Since you're most likely building into the sniper skill tree anyways, can snag graze and just eliminate anything in the way of your target.
Plus free armor piercing.
