Overview[1]
The SCAR-H is an extremely punchy assault rifle automatically unlocked at level 65, with an equally heavy price tag of $3500. It excels at first-shot damage and kit busting, with an exceptionally high TTK and armor penetration to boot. However, the full-size rounds come at a disadvantage - it only comes with 80 rounds maximum, compared to the 120 of the other assault rifles, and the recoil is nothing to be trifled with.

Usage & Tactics
As stated before, the SCAR-H has the highest single-shot damage of any automatic firearm available in SECTOR-07, as well as its DPS rubbing shoulders with the AKM and a firerate just marginally lower than the AKS-74U. This renders it as one of the most capable weapons in-game, and a fearsome weapon to be up against both in CQC and long-range. However, low ammunition capacity means you will need frequent reloads and refills, and spend quite a bit of money for it as well. Because of this, it is unwise to use full automatic at medium or long range, as both the recoil and firerate means you will miss and run dry before securing a kill. Instead, use semi-automatic, and this will render the SCAR into a pseudo-DMR, somewhat similar to the FN FAL. At these ranges, only specialised marksman weapons will be able to challenge your dominance, as the SCAR also has a formidiable damage range thanks to the full-size cartridges. Furthermore, the SCAR's high armor penetration and long range capability lends itself useful when killing armor kits, and can be used to get a quick kill on an unsuspecting T2, or give a T3 kit a run for their money.

Strategy
The SCAR-H was made and developed by FN Herstal, the same company that made the FAL 50.00. This weapon's appearance and name is inspired from its real-world counterpart, the FN SCAR. Despite being classified as an assault rifle in game, the FN SCAR-H is actually a battle rifle, firing heavier 7.62x51mm rounds. The SCAR-H is the first weapon available from the Dealer designed after the year 2000. This is the first public weapon available from the dealer to have multiple Bullet Types, these being 7.61x51 and M203 40mm grenades. Category:Guns
