It should apply to both as both weapons are classified as sidearms within the games code, but since I cannot see the code I cannot confirm this

Here we are just throwing ideas around without any logic involved. Again. Give me one legitimate reason why a scout shouldn't be able to carry a light weapon. Note: because I don't like it isn't a valid reason.

IMHO Scouts should have one light weapon slot. This would force them to commit to their role.
Something just really needs to be done about the fact that a person in a scout suit can run multiple styles without ever changing suits. Currently a cloaked shotgun scout with an SMG is free to switch from stealth shotgunning to strafe spray and praying instantly and even carry his own ammo. Why is it that everyone went crazy over slayer logis being able to run multiple styles and excel at all of them yet scouts have experienced the same thing while at times also being far more OP than the slayer logi ever was?
Every suit is meant to have a counter but how do you counter someone with one suit when they have the ability of two or three. |

To counter a suit that is spammed everywhere people should only have 1 choice in weapon?
Lets tell AV users they can only user swarms while tankers can switch between blaster and rail turrets on the fly.

The hmg is still an excellent counter. Even when shotties get the first hit on me I still usually have enough time to spin around and light him up. I also kill my fair share of scouts with an ACR or SMG, just not those pesky cal scouts.

I would have been happy making scouts dual-sidearmed before the nerfs. Not now, however.

Sounds like a balance problem. You've been flanked and outplayed by a supposed counter. At the very best, your odds should be below 50:50. |

Most scouts in pubs that I see are bums and are easily killed. I'm not talking about the legit bad ass scouts out there.

All mainly close counters but yes those are somewhat viable.
On open land, which there is a lot of in this game, the scout can easily be king and then it can still go steam roll almost anything but a heavy in CQC using a SMG without changing fittings. This is an example of the issue I have. If you want to be the best in CQC you should have to give up the ability to be the best in mid ranged combat and vice versa. In the current enviroment that is simply far from the case. Between strafing ability giving an advantage even with a lesser weapon, 2 equipment slots, and extreme visibility something has got to give.
I hope this clarifies my argument towards only one light weapon slot. I feel like this is the easiest and most balancing thing that could be done to the scout without over nerfing it or really hurting the true scout who fits his suit to a single role and capitalizes on his advantages.

I regularly run a dual sidearm scout for the lolz. However, I think it is too much of a nerf to a class that's been hit hard already. |
