Recon: Sounds stupid and seems like anyone could just throw an explosive over the map and mark all enemies.
*Commence rant*
Recon pro is THE BEST PERK IN THE GAME.
Here are my reasons
1. Concussion random throws:
Concussions don't explode till they hit the ground. Throw one around a flag and light up 3-4 enemies for 12 seconds. If there is small maps you can easily start throwing concussions around in a high traffic area to help your team mates.
2. Assasin n00bs (Me)
I am an assasin n00b. I use it and I don't really care. The amount of pain a UAV can give in SND is way too powerful. Therefore I use it. Also for the Assasin pro (No red name). I usually go for ninja defuses.
But anyways, to counter me. Throw a stun. 12 seconds of seeing everywhere I go on a map. You can figure out if I'm camping or if I'm going somewhere. Think I'm camping? Flank me easily. Think I'm going somewhere. Wait for me to come out. Extremely simple.
3. Extreme conditioning is useless
BUFF THISS NAOW. I want extreme conditioning to be like if you have the USAS on with extreme conditioning. Now that is a buff. But how it is now. It is useless. However I still use it because it is still slightly useful.
4. SND rush bomb plants
Get some flashes on with an organised party and offense in fallen is extremely easy. Flashes have the biggest area hit which means it lights up enemies easier. There a bombs like in village, fallen, etc where the bombs are very close to offense and defense. If you can throw some flashes they are blinded and you can see them. Easy plant.
5. RECON PRO ABILITY
Know someone camping in that building in bakarra? Shot him once but he's hiding? Find out which way he is facing and know where to aim IMMEDIATELY as you enter. You have the element of surprise and know which way he's facing.
6. RECON'S PRO ABILITY + Hardline Pro
Epic comboooooooooo. I'm waiting for someone to get a MOAB with no kills like this. Get a nice weapon that can hit someone at long range and is silenced. Shoot one bullet. Move on. You probably won't be able to kill them from extreme ranges (Unless you have a sniper that isn't the dragonuv) so it helps so much.
7. RECON PRO + Shotgun
Going to level up a shotgun? Whip on a mp9 as secondary and if someone is too far. Switch shoot and come up with your USAS. Easily destroy them and they don't have a clue what happened.
8. Sniper *hitmarkers
Just quickscoped? Perfect shot? Ready for that xp? Oh wait HITMARKER. Luckily I have recon pro on. ADS the way he is facing. This time no mistakes. Easy kill
Also I have more but I have to go I WILL CONTINUE THIS.
Sincerely, RECON PRO IS BEST PERK IN THE GAME.
