    Except that if you miss your shot you are left exposed for 2 seconds. That’s the whole point, high risk high reward (also costs a fuckton of money so even higher risk and the enemy team can get it) It’s genius game design

      So then you upgrade to SCAR and hold down the mouse button as you spray like an AK47 but from a map away. No risk all reward.

        Scar is way worse than people make it look like. Costs more than awp for less damage, and most maps have no good spots for it. Also with the new cs it requires you to remove another weapon from your loadout, and all of the others are way better choices for 99% of rounds.

          It has biiiiiig utility that people overlook for the AWP “1 click = 1 kill”

          • Get the first so-so hit on body for the ‘tag’ slowdown, then hit the follow-up while their movements are slowed
          • Chained headshots against groups that’d overwhelm an AWP
          • Low hit% shots and firing through smoke/light cover that you’d hold firing & bolt animation cycle when using AWP

          You risk losing duels against very good opponents who can click on your head faster than your 2nd shot, but it has a purpose. Unlike the M249 🤢
