What's up guys, Rogue-9 here! There has been a lot of talk in the Rainbow Six community

情態副詞

recently about allowing the BOSG.12.2 double barrelled shotgun to attach a magnified scope,

基礎被動語態

such as the ACOG or the new scope that was introduced on Gridlock's M249. You may have

seen concept art images such as this one floating around on Twitter and there have even been

video appeals from Blitz and random scientists, imploring the developers to add this option

into the game. If you haven't seen these videos by the way, I would recommend swinging

by Bikini Bodhi's Twitter and checking them out.

So, with such high calibre personalities throwing their weight behind this appeal there definitely

seems to be a lot of interest in adding a magnified scope to this shotgun. But what

do the in-game stats say? Would adding magnification to this weapon create an overpowered monster

of a gun that would break the game? How about we take a closer look and go and find out?

In order to assess the impact of adding a scope to the BOSG, we will look at the following

topics. First up I want to discuss the general risks

that come with adding scopes to weapons in Rainbow Six Siege. Then we need to consider

any rules the developers have that would prohibit this attachment before diving into the stats

and characteristics of the gun to see if a scope would have a negative impact. And last

but not least, I think it would also be worth comparing the gun to its closest competitors

before finally deciding on whether or not a scoped BOSG is justified.

There has definitely been a trend of removing ACOG access to several weapons in the game

over time; I mean, think back to the early days of Siege when you used to be able to

attach the ACOG to the SMG-11 which back then led to this gun being nicknamed the pocket

sniper. It was marginally ridiculous and as much as you could have a lot of fun headshotting

opponents from the other side of the map, with a scoped secondary, it was definitely

not an awful lot of fun when it happened to you. In line with this reduction of ACOG access,

we also saw the attachment removed from all 2 and 3 speed defenders. The design philosophy

for a while now has been that only 1 speed anchors should have access to magnified optics

on defence because there was a huge trend back in the day for 1 speed defenders, such

as Jäger, to rush away from the objective right at the beginning of the prep-phase (without

placing gadgets or reinforcing walls) just so that they could get to unexpected windows

or doors for spawn peeks and early kills. And it is undeniable that having a magnified

optic is very helpful in achieving that. Now, if this rule was still set in stone,

then the idea of a BOSG ACOG combo is pretty much done and dusted. Vigil is a 3 speed defender

and on top of that, his gadget is built for leaving the objective and roaming the map,

so the rule of only having ACOGs on 1 speed defenders would definitely apply. Here's

the thing though, with the release of Operation Ember Rise, Goyo joined team Rainbow and of

course he is a 2 speed defender who has access to the TCSG12 slug shotgun that can attach

an ACOG. The rule around ACOGs for 1 speed defenders only has definitely become a little

more flexible, so in theory, there is nothing that would strictly block the BOSG from getting

a scope. That's consideration number one out of the way: The rule that would have blocked

BOSG/ACOG from coming into the game is no longer in being strictly enforced; one hurdle

down, a few more to go! But there is of course still the question

of whether or not a scope on a roam focused 3 speed defender is a risk to the integrity

of the game, especially when it comes to spawn peeks and early kills. To assess that let's

remind ourselves of some of the key characteristics of the BOSG and then maybe let's compare

those to its closest competitors that already have access to magnified scopes.

The BOSG is a very unique weapon in Rainbow Six Siege. Back when it was first launched,

I was honestly not sure about how it would end up impacting the game. Would it become

known as a skill cannon that can allow top tier players to do really well or would it

just be a meme? Well, now that the gun has been in the game for almost 2 years, I think

it's safe to say that the answer to that question is that it is a meme, rather than

the high risk / high reward gun that it could have turned out to be at first glance.

As a double barrelled shotgun, it of course only has a capacity of two shots and even

though you can chain those together with a significant fire rate, the recoil has always

been the limiting factor here. Even at relatively close ranges, firing off two shots in quick

succession will pretty much guarantee that the second shot will sail clean over the head

of any opponent you are targeting. So realistically, you will only ever be able to fire one shot

at a time and for that reason, it makes perfect sense that the BOSG has a baseline damage

of 125 points. If we take the damage drop-off into account,

this means that the gun is capable of one-shotting 3 speed opponents at distances up to 15m,

while for 2 speeds that distance is 12m and for 1 speeds, it is 10m. If you throw some

Rook armour into the mix, then 3 speeds will become 1 speeds, while 2 and 1 speeds will

need two shots at all ranges. And those stats are actually quite important

already because as we can see, the BOSG has never actually been a great weapon for spawn

peeking. The one-hit-kill capability has a very limited range. 10-12m is nothing at all

really and even 15m is not enough for a proper spawn peek. If you want a guaranteed kill

with the BOSG, you're going to have to go for a headshot and that's not that easy

when you only have two shots to pull it off. Yes, an ACOG would help land those long range

shots and while the 64, 72 or 80 points of minimum damage to the body (depending on your

target's armour rating) will still sting a lot, I would argue that an easily controllable,

30 round, full-auto SMG has a much better chance of landing that crucial headshot or

even spraying down the opponent with multiple hits compared to what a two shot slug gun

with high recoil can deliver. So that's concern number two checked off

the list. The BOSG is ideally suited to relatively close ranges where the one-shot capability

comes into play and it is not really suited as a ranged peeking weapon.

Now let's round out our thought process by comparing the gun to its closest competitors.

Back when the BOSG was added to the game, I compared it to Glaz' OTs-03, since that

back then was the closest there was in terms of a high damage weapon. And so why don't

we start off the DMR class as a whole? Because of their very nature as semi-auto marksman

rifles, these guns all have access to ACOGs and while their damage is definitely a good

chunk lower than that of the BOSG, they are still comparable to a degree.

Close range damage is much lower of course, ranging from 60 for Dokkeabi's MK14 EBR

to 69 for Buck's CAMRS and Lion and Twitch's 417 and then of course also Glaz' OTs-03

at 71. Yes, those numbers are significantly lower than 125 BUT, the close range damage

is not really all that relevant to our discussion, since we are talking about magnified optics

and therefore the long range threat of each gun. The fact is that the damage drop-off

for these weapons doesn't even start until 25m and the BOSG already bottoms out at around

19 to 20m and if we look at that distance, then the difference in damage is really only

10-20 points or so; not all that much different! And if you then take into consideration the

much lower recoil of the DMRs, and the general capacity of 21 bullets versus just two shots,

then you would have to conclude that even with a magnified optic, the BOSG is still

vastly inferior to all of the different  options in the DMR class.

But of course an even better comparison to the BOSG is the TCSG12. This is also a slug

shotgun and it is also available to defenders but instead of just two shots and crazy recoil,

this semi-auto weapon gets 11 shots in total and is far easier to control. To balance this

out, the gun has lower damage ranging from 84 down to 40 at 21m or more. And of course,

the TCSG gets an ACOG. When considering the threat of spawn peeks

or long range engagements, the TCSG is just always going to be the greater threat because

at these ranges, both guns will require multiple hits but while the TCSG is set up to be able

to deliver repeated hits, the BOSG really isn't.

So not only are there no real arguments against adding a magnified optic to the BOSG, I would
