Wall penetration Penetration Power for AWP, G3SG1 and SCAR-20 has been lowered slightly because their damage naturally gives them higher penetration.
▲
Scope Improved vert count on SCAR-20 scope
▼
Accuracy Gunshot tails for AWP, SSG 08, G3SG1 and SCAR-20 no longer remain at the position they were fired, and instead more accurately spread over the environment.
▲
Improved the look of SCAR-20, G3SG1.

Full armor and a defuse kit. It is expensive and slow to move with, so hold a spot.
