I have Another NiTC with Firefly and Explosive rounds. It shreds. But I recently replaced it with Abyss Defiant. I found Abyss does more sustained damage for a longer period of time and that I could more consistently take down trash mobs. Since using special and heavy for most majors and ultras I didn't miss my scout. This is primarily for Crota's End Raid. If I'm ever in anything with mid to long range I use my scout.
