Battlefield 1’s Scout class, which will almost always be called a sniper, is your long-range option for those large, open maps. In fact, Battlefield as a series has earned a bit of a reputation for its sniper-friendly multiplayer, and if anything, that’s intensified in Battlefield 1.
There’s more utility than ever with the Scout class this time around, particularly in terms of reconnaissance for your team and survival for yourself, as the Scout gets a wider variety of gadgets than any other class in Battlefield 1. DICE certainly knows its audience.

Scout Class Strategies
The first thing you need to keep in mind as a sniper (sorry, scout) in Battlefield 1 is to set your zeroing distance, which is displayed at the bottom right next to the ammo magazine indicator. It makes a noticeable difference to your accuracy at various ranges, which is quite useful when you’re a class focused entirely on one-hit kills from range.
When it comes to range, distance to the target is more important than ever in Battlefield 1. Your rifles, especially the ones you have available in the early stages, can suffer a lot at very long range, with noticeable variations in trajectory. In fact, the Scout class works best at medium-long range, rather than purely long range, probably an accurate reflection of the art given the time period and number of devices used in modern precision rifles at distance today.
As for the act of shooting itself, you must find a rhythm to quickly detect a target, approach, shoot, and shoot again in another round, while searching for your next enemy. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be amazed at how successful you can be, but remember that zeroing distance when switching between ranges on the fly, which also takes some practice.
Finally, the old scout advice: don’t stay in the same place for too long. Even if you’re having great success, being in the same place makes you an easy target for flankers or other hidden snipers. In the era of Killcams, it’s also easy to find yourself with a knife in your back as revenge from bitter enemies who knew exactly where you were. Take a few photos and then move around, alternating between your favorite spots each time.
