COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - SCAR-L [11/05/2012] - BlackChaos - 05-11-2012 Greetings once again fans of the Call Of Duty franchise! This is the third edition of my COD Modern Warfare 3 Weapon Guide series. If you're not familiar with my work, you might not have read the previous guides I posted. Have a look at my Gaming section compilation thread here for the previous guides as well as other great threads. This is a series of Modern Warfare 3 guides aimed at helping the players to get a better understanding of how these weapons fare on the battlefield. They are based on my unbiased thoughts and opinions as an experienced gamer. Some of you might not agree and have differing opinions, but thats cool. Be sure to share your thoughts with us as well. Also, these guides will now be exclusively posted in advance on GThreeForums.net before any other site. I will be posting these often, so be sure to leave your suggestions for the next weapons guide. If I miss something, or if I need to correct something, be sure to give appropriate sources along with your feedback. Note: The following guide is only for Multiplayer. Weapon usage may differ in other game modes. Today's featured weapons is: SCAR-L
Type: Assault Rifle (Automatic) Unlocked at: Level 6 HUD/Pickup Image: Ammunition: 90 (starting) ~ 180 (maximum) Magazine size: 30 rounds ~ 45 (Extended Mags) Reload time (approx.): 2.4 seconds (Partially empty) 2.7 seconds (Completely empty) Rate Of Fire (ROF): 750 rpm Damage: 35-20 approx The Scar-L is one of the most powerful assault rifles in the game and being unlocked early-on makes it one of the most common guns on the field. What makes the SCAR a potently dangerous weapon is its great iron-sights, excellent range, low recoil and fast reload speed. Coupled with a few attachments, this gun can outclass pretty much every other gun its category. However, it has lower damage compared to some of the other guns, and higher sway. These being its only downfall, the SCAR is still a formidable gun. Its low recoil makes it a great choice for scopes like ACOG and the Infrared and its sway can be diminished using Breath or Stability. With the ACOG attachment, its already amazing range is increased further, making it deadly at the longer ranges. However, this gun faces difficulty against opponents at close range and is easily outmaneuvered by Shotguns and SMGs. These are the various attachments available for the weapon. They have been given ratings and side notes depending on their usefulness. Sometimes I tend to copy the ratings for some guns. Thats because most guns of a category aren't really characterized much by their attachments, but at times are.
Weapon Proficiencies are special attachments or perks so to speak that can be added to a weapon. They come in a wide range of special characteristics, so we'll have a look of each one and what they have to offer to this class of weaponry. I'll add ratings as well since we're already on a roll here.
Along with the attachments, there are also Perks to consider when choosing the perfect class for this weapon. It all depends on your preference and what you're comfortable. Here are a few of my suggestions: Blind Eye The perfect perk for a stealth class or pretty much any class honestly, Blind Eye prevents the opponent's whirly birds from pin-pointing you and taking you down. Useful in FFAs where you're flying solo. Quickdraw Getting a quick aim is essential in long range standoffs where the opponent is just likely to kill you. With Quickdraw on, you have the advantage on your side, increasing the likelihood of you overcoming slow and bewildered enemy gunmen. Marksman The perk Marksman makes spotting opponents at long distances a menial task, provided they don't have Assassin Pro on. With the SCAR's effective long range capabilities, Marksman is the perfect addition. [9/10] An amazing gun with great capabilities. The only put-off point is its low damage, which makes it easy prey for faster or more powerful guns. Still, its range and low recoil earns its position of one of the greatest Assault Rifles in the game. So that's the SCAR-L I hope you enjoyed this guide and learned a little about this weapon. Hopefully, you appreciate the great amount of time and effort it took to make this guide by leaving a comment below. Which weapon should we showcase next? Please leave your suggestion below.
