Scar 17 no bipod
its so wierd that you cant even attach a bipod to the SCAR in the PvE gamemode. Why can the m16a4 take a bipod but the SCAR can't?

I'm a big fan of the SCAR irl and considering they are 3,000$ this video game is the closest I can get to one right now lol. The one i got to fire had a bipod and the owner told me this gun is pretty much always best used with a bipod bc it has a massive muzzle break that pushes gas and dirt everywhere if you shoot it prone.

It'll likely be opened up for use later, pretty sure you can equip it in debug mode, butg I may be wrong.

I was under the impression there were several variants of the SCAR-H ; 3 battle rifles (different barrel lengths) and also the SCAR-SSR which is the DMR variant. Plus two precision rifle variants.

The one in game looks like the SCAR-H STD battle rifle with 16" barrel. Maybe if someone here has used thjs variant they can confirm.

I mean it's a battle rifle just like the svd and FAL which both have bipod options

If you would be happy with a SCAR 16 chambered in 5.56x45mm, you can sometimes find one in the $2000 range. But even if you only wanted one in .308, $3000 shouldn't be out of reach if you save up your earnings for a few months...

Now, one firearm that is out of reach for 95% of people is the FK Brno--saving up $8000 for a would not only take an extremely long time, but most of us would have a hard time explaining to the wife why we ate ramen for three years straight to spend 8 grand on a pistol!

More on topic, since the SCAR is a modular design (in both .223 and .308), it is an odd omission that there is no bipod option for it.

Not to mention it is weak AF in this game... I have a SCAR 17S in real life, and it is a powerful gun with quite a lot of recoil. Even moreso that I took off the smoke-stack/blow-dryer known as a compensator and put on a flash-hider (among a ton of other mods). But it's a relatively light/short gun with a strong cartridge, so it is basically the OPPOSITE of what it is in this game. VERY annoying to me!

THANK YOU! Im glad im not the only one who felt this way. The gun does way less damage than the SvD despite being only a slightly smaller cartridge and its so wierd that they treat it as an assault rifle when its definitely more suited to the lay prone and wait type role.

No the SCAR 556 is kinda pointless. The AR15 is better (and cheaper) than the 16 but the 17 is better and not that much more expensive than a good AR10.
