Respawn explains strange G7 Scout issues in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community noticed that the G7 Scout wasn\u2019t exactly behaving like other rifles, and a Respawn developer explained why the gun\u2019s \u201cinconsistencies\u201d aren\u2019t a bug. Members of the community noticed that the marksman rifle considerably slowed down their characters when aiming down the sight (ADS), as opposed to other Assault Rifles (AR). They were convinced it was due to a bug until an Apex dev responded. Respawn Game Designer for weapons David \u2018AmusedApricot\u2019 Bocek clarified any confusion about the Scout\u2019s effect, explaining that it was purposefully placed due to its unique classification. Although the G7 Scout is considered an Assault Rifle, it behaves similar to a sniper rifle, but that\u2019s because the weapon is still meant to be a marksman\u2019s primary weapon. \u201cIt\u2019s not really a bug, although it is inconsistent with other ARs,\u201d AmusedApricot said. \u201cI would like the Scout to be in a \u201cmarksman weapon\u201d classification or something, but then it\u2019d be the only one and that\u2019s not really great, so for now it\u2019ll just have some inconsistencies with typical AR stats.\u201d The dev explained that the scout is supposed to have \u201ctradeoffs.\u201d The weapon is plenty strong to hold its own, and it has incredible range, so the team at Respawn left the slow ADS movespeed that a typical sniper would have. A clip captured by user \u2018slickwhelp\u2019 showed them holding a G7 in the Firing Range ADSing to the right, while a Bloodhound trailed them with a different rifle. The difference in movespeed was noticeable with the Scout player getting a slight head start on the other person, a few moments later they were left in the dust, relatively speaking. \u201cAccording to the Apex Gamepedia, the ADS speed for Mozambique is -0%, even though it\u2019s a shotgun,\u201d user \u2018PaulpFiction_\u2019 said. \u201cAnd the RE-45 is -5% even though it\u2019s a pistol. So it\u2019s just another exception that proves the rule IMO.\u201d In a heated gunfight, expect a G7 to give you a ton of stopping power at varying distances. But just remember, that looking down the sights will influence the ADS movement accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
