![]() The rifle is referred to as "rifle_desert" in the developer's console, probably referring to the weapon's tan coloring, which would blend in if used in a desert.However, it should be noted that the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, conveniently based in Georgia, had SCARs issued to them in real life several months before the events of the games take place, also giving a valid excuse canon-wise for their lack of appearance in Left 4 Dead.The in-game commentary states that the rifles were diverted from the Middle East and shipped back home to control the Infection.Special Operations Command, indicating the possible presence of U.S. The FN SCAR stands for " Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle" and is used primarily by the U.S.Likely the developers couldn't legally get a real military SCAR-L to model and like most of the guns in the game modeled it off of available models. The SCAR-L in the game is actually modeled after the FN SCAR 16S, a civilian semi-automatic version of the SCAR-L with a 16.25" barrel and a M16A2 flash-hider.Noting the markings on the side of the gun, it seems to feature characteristics of both variants: the markings mention it being a "Mk 17 Mod 3" (SCAR-H) and chambered in "Cal 5.56mm" (SCAR-L). ![]() The flashlight is a literal handheld flashlight ziptied to the bottom of the gun instead of a tactical flashlight mounted to the gun's dedicated rail on the bottom of the handguard. The Combat Rifle is modeled after the FN SCAR-L Mk 16, while the model texture lists it as a SCAR-H Mk 17 Mod 0.DPS (368.4) is lower than the M-16 Assault Rifle (~377), the SG 552 (400) and the AK-47 (~446), and the reload time is the longest of the assault rifles it takes a little over three seconds to reload the weapon. The individual bursts are highly accurate, and the weapon is still greatly accurate when running or being hit by Infected. The Combat Rifle fires in three-round bursts as opposed to fully automatic, which translates the 60-round magazine to 20 trigger pulls. Forced bursting requires more precise aiming to conserve ammo.Lower DPS than the other assault rifles.Massive magazine, allowing it to take huge advantage of ammo upgrades.Medium damage, one burst is enough to kill any common infected on any difficulty.Burst fire helps conserving ammo and killing enemies.Prioritize accuracy with the Combat Rifle an inaccurate player will waste three rounds at a time instead of one.This is somewhat counteracted by burst which will eat up any ammo you waste over twice as fast. The Combat Rifle has the second highest magazine capacity of any automatic weapon in the game, providing high efficiency with Explosive Ammunition and Incendiary Ammunition.Because the Combat Rifle's reload time is longer than most of its counterparts with the exception of the SG 552, it's highly recommended to reload only when you find a suitable interlude.A total of 420 rounds translates to 140 pulls of the trigger, so accuracy to conserve ammo is crucial.If you kneel down and shoot at the headline of the oncoming Horde, you can still get 1-shot-1-kill results. Sweep your line of fire and swap to a melee weapon when appropriate to conserve ammunition. ![]()
