I'd say really wait until 1.4 (? I Think?) when the Tacnet system gets a major overhaul before making any investment

I snipe

Quick question for you, Decasor:

I've been OHK'd by sniper fire dozens of times since 1.2. No missed shots whizzing by and plunking under foot ... simply insta-killed while sprinting at 10+ m/s. I tried my hand at sniping in Chromosome ... couldn't hit a Scout unless he was standing still. It used to be only a few snipers in the game could pull off a tough shot; now it seems every sniper can drop a speed tank'd Scout.

So what's going on here? You guys get better scopes?

Anyone notice the smg is lacking the 'UMFF' it had in chrome? is it because the server can't keep up with the rounds?

Might have missed it, for that I apologize, but I just got lvl 3 active scanner last night. Havnt tried it yet. Just wondering which one if any is best. Feedback appreciated scout bros

A-19 is my personal favorite.
Easy to fit. Fast recycle time. Sufficient performance.
*If your scanner jams, give it a shake by tapping melee.

On the topic, I'm contemplating putting a few points into profile dampening. Any Gal Scouts have experience here? I popped up on a proto medium's radar today. When I rounded the corner in pursuit, he had cooked an M1 for me. Seemed to me I got sniffed out whilst stalking. He hadn't acquired line-of-sight on me, and no one else was in the vicinity.

Got lvl 3 Damp and lvl 3 precision. things ive notice when using the damp. unless that person has some kind precision module on and isnt looking directly at me ill be off there map. with Precision ive actually learned this couple days ago(also includes with range) that it really only works (to get full effectiveness and optimum range) when sitting still. its really stupid ive tested it a lot of times.
so there's a enemy uplink and ill say im about 40meters from it and will be behind a wall sitting still and it pops up on my map. then ill start to run in a little circle and it goes away. also there's a outpost i love to camp in and the spot i camp in allows me to see two of the objectives as long as i'm still i can see some one before to even reach either one of them.
don't know if it has something to do with your movement either way its really stupid.

I'm at level 3 dampening and precision too, as well as the range amplification. Its hard to confirm for sure since you're relying on the behavior of others to measure, but I definitely seem to have no trouble sneaking up on people as long as I can stay out of their line of sight, and it rarely seems like other people notice me before I notice them. Sometimes that split second is an advantage, a lot of times I get mowed down by an AR anyway.

So I'd say up to level 3 or so, its worth the SP investment. Beyond that it gets pretty expensive for not a ton of extra benefit. I've never tried to run any of the modules, since our slot layout is so limited and I can't imagine giving up either armor repairers or biotics for a little better scanning.
