First of all its impossible to not kill a sword with a full mag from the SCAR
Second point: just because sword was fine on one map (you were in the tunnels at C most of ur time on white forest which is like one of the couple places on the map that sure is fine in it) or that they killed u doesnt mean they need a buff

The trick with fighting HECU, RU, CQC snipers, and other enemies, that instead of failing to outDPS a SWORD just one-tap them is, unsurprisingly, surviving that first shot.
Because SWORD already has good damage, even in mid-range, it's reasonable to just dump all your perk slots and carry weight into survivability and mobility. In my opinion, the department where SWORD is truly lacking is breaching.
No HP or speed buff could save you when you enter a single doorway of a building with multiple rebels inside, ready to KOS anyone who enters. It's something unreachable by just stats and perks - a utility issue.
In situations like these, you'd need either a buffer HP (shield) or a consistent healing ability to poke, or a way to destroy prop blocks to make a better entrance for your team (shooting the prop down takes a lot of time and it's loud), or a way to break the enemy line (smoke/flash/gas/HE grenades). However, does SWORD need a buff like this, or should that lack of utility be its weakness is up for discussion.
My take? Give SWORD back that grenade launcher pls Sentinel man I'M BEGGING YOU
After what I've seen today , I hope this is a joke
