I noticed that the scout rifle seems to do pretty much exactly the same damage as the auto rifle, per shot, in th same level range. To me, this seems like it completely eliminates the point of having a single shot, low mag size rifle. The scout rifle should be doing more damage than an auto, because of the fact it has a smaller mag and way slower ROF. In the current game, scout rifles are junk. Just a small buff to their damage would make them a much more viable weapon, and give a reason to choose one over an auto rifle. Please buff them. Just a little.

The only damage that counts is precision damage. The only kills that matter, are precision kills. Always try to improve your precision kills. In this regard the scout rifle and hand cannons are the ultimate tools. The alien that you might unload a clip into can be dispatched with a bullet or two, from an excellent scout rifle. In the time it takes you to drop two or three, I could have dropped almost twice as many. If your numbers are not yellow, it does not matter what damage you are dealing, because it is not enough!
