Scout (Long War)

The Scout is a unique class that doesn't have an equivalent in vanilla XCOM, combining elements of Assaults and Snap Shot Snipers. The Scout's signature ability is Lightning Reflexes, greatly reducing the chance to be hit by overwatch fire while moving. Scouts are the only class other than Snipers that can use sniper rifles.

Primary Weapon: Sniper Rifles, Assault Rifles, Shotguns

Secondary Weapon: Pistols
