Only if they can dual wield them. Magsec on my left and Scrambler Pistol on my right.

Tankers giving suggestions to balance infantry.
This can only make the game better!

You guys are beating a dead Scout.
We're already getting nerf hammered; no further action needed.

Hotfix Alpha will unbunch lots of panties (ours included).
Scouts don't want to be FoTM; we want balance.

Which begs the question, what do Tankers want?
Harpyja?

Or, you could address the problems causing the Scouts to outperform other suits as opposed to making a change that is not only unnecessary, but an awful idea for reasons stated in the last time a "sidearm only" nerf was suggested.
Lets look at all of the problems that would be addressed:

• Scouts w/Combat Rifles

Now lets look at all the unnecessary playstyles that would be removed here:

• Scout w/Plasma Cannon
• Scout w/Mass Driver
• Scout w/Sniper Rifle
• Scout w/Plasma Rifle
• Scout w/Laser Rifle
• Scout w/[Insert anything other than Combat Rifle here]

Moving the shotgun would pretty much equate to every Medium Frame and their mothers, brothers, grandmothers, and next door neighbors carrying Shotguns in their Sidearm slot. This is bad because it would give suits capable of moving over 7m/s incredible ganking power with no actual sacrifice. (Just picture a Six Kin ACR with a CreoDron SG at 7.5m/s and 500HP of shields).

The real problems with Light/Scout Frames:

• Possible eHP ceiling is too high
• No firing delay on clacks
• Lack of incentive to use Assault Frames

Now tell me, which problem(s) would be addressed by revoking their Light Weapon Slot?
