== Strategy == | |||
The SSG 08 (Scout) is the budget sniper rifle, offering one-shot headshot kills at any range and excellent mobility. At $1700, it is affordable on eco rounds and force-buys, making it a popular choice for aggressive sniping. | |||
=== When to Buy === | |||
Buy the Scout on eco rounds when you want a chance to get one-shot kills without the $4750 AWP investment. The Scout is also viable on full-buy rounds for players who prefer an aggressive, mobile sniping style. Its light weight allows full-speed jumping shots. | |||

* '''Body Shots''' — While headshots are preferred, body shots deal 88 damage — a teammate's single bullet finishes the kill. | |||
=== Engagement Range === | |||
The Scout is effective at all ranges thanks to its scope and accuracy, but it truly shines at medium range where jump peeking and quick repositioning come into play. At long range, it is outclassed by the AWP's one-shot body kill. | |||

The SSG 08 is a bolt-action sniper and has no spray pattern. It fires one shot at a time with a slightly faster cycle rate than the AWP. | |||
