Trivia

• In Battlefield 1943, a player that spawns with the Scout Kit will have a primitive suit of leaves that provides limited camouflage.
• In the other Battlefield games, it is replaced by the Recon, and in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the Sniper kit. They serve roughly the same purpose, but the Recon kit is more attuned to spotting enemies than killing them effectively.
