The **Steyr Elite**, known in-game as the **Scout Elite**, is a Sniper Rifle that uses 5.56mm Ammunition.

## Summary

The Scout Elite is known for its mobility as a Sniper Rifle. It has a high fire rate for one and relatively low slowdown. The Scout Elite has a high velocity while having a 5-round magazine. Dealing less damage than the Mosin-Nagant, it can be comparable to a buffed Model 94.

It can mainly be found in Air Drops and in the green Pots from the Scout Hut. It can also be found as a rare world loot.

## Strategies

### Using

* Quickswitching is not as punishing with this gun as it is with other Sniper Rifles as it does not have as much recoil.
* However, you should still quickswitch when in an emergency, as it will still prevent speed reduction.
* Keep good aim to your opponent, as this Sniper Rifle has great accuracy.
* This gun's main advantage lies in its fast-firing move speed, especially for being a Sniper Rifle. You can move around your opponents when shooting. This will make their bullets harder to hit you.
* Try not to use this gun in CQB, because it deals too little damage to be viable in that situation. It has a long barrel.
* Use it to support your allies in Duo, Squads, or 50 vs 50. They will take the damage while you deal it.

### Countering

* The Scout Elite can 4-shot a player with maximum (level 3) vest and helmet. Thus, it is advised to use Adrenaline to barely avoid death.
* As mentioned above, Adrenaline is a good idea not only to passively recover health but to dodge the accurate bullets of the Scout.
* Weapons with higher DPS, such as the SCAR-H or stronger Sniper Rifles, such as the SV-98 can pressure aggressive Scout Elite users to flee if they take enough damage.
* Grenades can be used to force Scout Elite users into closer range, allowing you to use spray guns like SMGs or Shotguns.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros

* Low recoil
* Fast fire rate for being a Sniper Rifle
* Fast firing move speed
* Very accurate when standing still
* Decently accurate when moving

### Cons

* Lower damage than most Sniper Rifles
* Low magazine size, even for an Sniper Rifle
* Decently rare
* Somewhat desirable, which attracts players.

## History

* v0.8.81
	+ Changed internal ID from "scout" to "scout\_elite"(because the Internal ID of the Scout was changed from recon to scout to make way for the Recon role)
* v0.7.9
	+ Added

## Trivia

* Strangely, it is the first lightweight gun in game that receives a speed boost while shooting, guns as like UMP9 and MP5 aren't applicable to that. It provides many tactics and ensuring accuracy in gameplay exclusively with this gun.
	+ However, it ultimately slows you down, as the speed multiplier for firing a weapon is 0.5, which reduces speed to 8.5, slower than the usual player movement speed of 12.
* It was the first gun introduced in an update where there was two map variants included as new content. (**Summer Bloom** and **5th Desert Rain**)
* It is the first 5.56mm Sniper Rifle added to the game.
	+ It's also the first 5.56mm weapon added since the v0.6.0 "Bridges of Sweatbath County" update, which brought the M4A1-S.
	+ The Scout Elite has the same damage as the BLR 81.
