Second cry wolf post on auto rifles in these forums I've seen. They've mentioned they planned on toning down the range and stability of some rifles, and boosting scouts somehow but nothing has been released that changes anything yet. Sounds like you and your buddies are a bit off your game this morning. Also, hand cannons and pulse rifles have always been competitive against autos. I wish they would release the balancing patch, scouts are useless in about 90% of the maps.

Just a quick tip, punctuation is your friend.

Just leave Brittany alone!
