At $1,700, the SSG 08 is the budget sniper option, costing less than a third of the [[AWP]]. While it cannot match the AWP's one-shot body kill capability, the Scout offers unique advantages: the fastest movement speed of any scoped weapon, high jumping accuracy, and the ability to one-shot headshot opponents without helmets.
The Scout is unique among sniper rifles for maintaining accuracy while jumping. A headshot is always lethal, and body shots deal 88 damage. At $1,700, it's a popular eco-round sniper choice.

== Usage Tips ==
[[Category:Sniper_Rifles]]
* The SSG 08 has '''exceptional jumping accuracy''', allowing jump-shots that no other weapon can replicate.
* At '''$1,700''', it is an excellent '''eco round sniper''' when the team cannot afford an AWP.
* '''One-shot headshot''' against helmeted opponents at close-medium range, and always against unarmored opponents.
* Body shots deal around '''88 damage''' against unarmored opponents, requiring a follow-up shot.
* The '''fast movement speed''' (230 units/s) makes the Scout the most mobile sniper rifle.
* '''Jump peek''' with the Scout from elevated positions for unexpected angles.
* The '''$300 kill reward''' is much higher than the AWP's $100, making it more economically viable.
 
== Competitive Meta ==
The SSG 08 is commonly purchased on second-round force buys (after winning the pistol round) as it provides sniper capability at a fraction of the AWP's cost. It is also popular on eco rounds where a skilled player can pick up crucial kills. The Scout's jumping accuracy makes it a constant threat on positions with elevated cover.
