- Take note that the accuracy and capacity aren’t very good unless you happen to equip Turbo Charger or use its scope.
- It has a 4x zoom, so you can zoom in on enemies to attack them in medium-long ranges.
- Aim at the head to maximize the damage.
- Use this rifle to weaken/finish off opponents.
- As seen as it has a flip-clip magazine, it has a rather fast reload time. But as always, you should only reload when you know you are safe.
- To shorten its reload time further, equip Cowboy Hat, Upgraded Magazine and max Storm Trooper Cape.
- The Critical Damage attribute is useful for dealing additional damage to affected enemies.
Counters
- Attack its user(s) from long range using a Sniper weapon.
- Use an Area Damage weapon to disorient its user(s).
- Strafe around to make it harder for the user(s) to hit you.

Trivia
- Like the Eliminator Z2, the Advanced Scout Rifle is based on the Heckler and Koch HK416 with an M320 Grenade Launcher Module.
- Like under-barrel attachments on numerous guns, the grenade launcher is purely cosmetic, holding no functionality, mostly for balancing and convenience over complexity in controls.
- It uses a holographic sight that has a 4x magnification factor, while in reality, holographic sights do not zoom in.
- For an unknown reason, the color of the skin was changed to purple. This is also the same with the Harsh Punisher, Manual Inferno, Headhunter Pistols and the Offensive Rocket System.
- Its kill icon was not changed however
- However at a later time the kill icons were changed too
- Despite being a craft weapon, it is unviewable in the gallery and is shown as a ? similarly to unobtainable weapons
- This weapon, Manual Inferno, Harsh Punisher and Offensive Rocket System is removed from the Craft section. Their set was removed from the set section too.
