What's the point of AWP and scout?

They suck. No one uses them because the Military and hunting rifles do everything better.

they look cool

They exist to crush your soul when you spy your A.I teammates pick them up to then use for an extended period of time. They are there to make you despair when they take the place of the tier 2's you need when you hear a tank or a witch off in the distance when playing Advanced and Expert difficulty. They linger in the game to make you numb when they are the only tier 2 weapons that spawn near a box of laser sights.

A more serious answer: I have no idea to be honest. I believe they were originally thrown in the non-American versions because of how popular Counter Strike is, but in actual gameplay they are a very niche pair of weapons that excel in taking down playable special infected and little else.

I think just for variety. What sucks is walking into a room or area with guns a seeing those 2 instead of something useful.

Same. It's just heart crushing walking into a room and finding useless garbage instead of actual decent stuff. Speaking of why is bonking a zombie/ infected with a baseball bat so damn satisfying.

Only good weapons are the shovel and MP5. The rest - TRASH

That weapon in itself justifies the presence of the less useful stuff. I love how beefy that gun feels when you have it scoped.

Install a mod for AWP, so that it has one bullet, but deals 2500 damage per hit with extreme inaccuracy when moving, standing and jumping and shotgun accuracy when duck.

[King Of Lolis]

because using same weapons get boring over time so why not switch it a bit?

[Infinite The Jackal :3]

I think they added them because there recognisable AWP for being the AWP and the Scout for M1 Gerand I think

Ok that one is good too, but I don't like the weapon itself in general

[El soldado más débil de Dios]

I like them, I use them when I want to add more difficulty to the level

[the lunch line of kamurocho]

one-hit headshots and skeets while using them are satisfying

That's why you stick with what ya got. 'Adapt and Overcome'

The tier 1's are better than the bolt actions
