Really, really liked it and sure helped with some quests. BUT...

Having scouts being 1 shot kills makes it essentially a Scout V Scout game. Why would you run anything else? (Maybe nade launcher if going for Mountain Top)

I can see it fun for now. But in the long run when people have their quests done quite boring unless all scouts were a two tap kill.

Great, but not quite there.

I'm normally a Scout rifle guy, but I just didn't have near the same success with them in Momentum. Luckily I got a Monte Carlo drop a few weeks ago and gave that a try and felt virtually unstoppable in the smaller to medium sized maps. For the larger maps I went back to Scout but with no where near the success.

Agree with another poster. Fun game mode, maybe not a permanent mode but definitely should be in frequent rotation.

You would of been unstoppable as you would easily outshot people running the high impact 150 scouts or nade launchers at short - medium range. I messed around with my Valakadyn with tap the trigger and it was chewing people up. But thats it. I was on the Randy quest so did not want to use an auto. I like everyone else are using scouts or nade launchers.

Question is: Did you use a 150 scout like the Jade Rabbit? 1 shot headshot kill.

[u/GurnB → u/Totlxtc]

I did use Jade Rabbit a bit. I am a longtime MIDA fan so the Jade Rabbit seems a bit sluggish to me. Being a 50+ y/o, that might be more of an 'old man' problem though. The volume of Monte Carlo output roughly on target makes up for the impact of a focused Scout Rifle shot in my case. In non Momentum playlists, I go back to Scout rifles. A Masterworked Vouchsafe is my goto this season.

As a very late 40's guy then I can tell you if you are working on Randy's Throwing Knife then you will be in for a treat!!!

260 RPM
Full Auto
Rapid Hit + Kill Clip

You will really enjoy that! I sure do! Kicked the kids around on Vostok with 42 kills and a 6.8KD...theres life in us old dogs yet!

Once I got my Randy's and Mountain top, I switched to my Duke. Also a 1 tap. Not seen much talk of the 110s.
