Okay so I'm an avid scout rifle user. It's the only primary I ever care to use, just my play style. Year 1 saw MANY extremely useful and diverse scouts. With weapons like Vision of Confluence, Ghelions Demise, and The Scholar Adept I was easy to have an INCREDIBLE primary weapon and you could still use an exotic special or heavy. I personally went for the MIDA Multi Tool, between the clip size, and agility bonus, it was by far my favorite weapon in the game.
Now hear me out, I'm not upset that my awesome year 1 gear is not year 2 level. I just don't understand why there are not Adequate replacements for my year 1 stuff. All of this new stuff is complete garbage. They didn't boost up the ONLY year 1 exotic scout, and replaced it with a pathetic one.
Boolean Gemini? This gun is a joke. Its strictly okay as a whole. You can BARELY feel the extra agility perk in action. Compared to the Mida it is trash.
I'm on Xbox so the Jade rabbit is out of the question. Though I've heard it's nothing special, just a cool perk.
Seriously, scouts get screwed hard. Handcannons have the:
Last word
Thorn (expired)
hawkmoon
Ace of spades
First curse.
3 of them were absurdly strong and had to nerf. Still very useful.
Auto rifles have the:
Suros,
zahalo,
Monte Carlo
Fabian
All are adequate choices
Even pulse rifles have more
Bad juju
Red Death
No time to explain
All 3 adequate.
What do scouts get???
Mida (expired)
Boolean (trash)
Taloc (warlock only) I main Titan
Jade (PS exclusive)
One? I get one???
Why is this okay? Why make scouts harder to choose? With nearly ALL the maps so close range that scout is already at disadvantage, why make the selection smaller?
My only hope is the fate of all fools being in Trials of Osiris. It's extremely annoying that those of us that use scouts get noting good for year 2.
So, does Bungie Hate scout rifles?
Edit: I'm being informed of several good weapons, also that I forgot touch of malice. I was told by several people (no doubt the people that just wanted to sound like they knew stuff) that the malice was an auto rifle that they had. I have the quest to get it but haven't looked into it yet. It's a scout, yay! Other options that are legendary include hung jury and a few others that I'll try soon.
Feeling better already. It seems my lack knowledge was the problem. I thought I'd seen most all options so far.
I have grinded my balls off trying for hr Treads upon stars strike scout. 45 runs and still none.. Sad.

Well, there are 2 legendary scout rifles I [i]must[/i] recommend: --The Hung Jury SR4 (buy it from the Dead Orbit Vendor. Great perks.) --Tuonela SR4 (Gunsmith) Both are Omolon scout rifles and handle excellently. I would recommend the Hung Jury for PvE, and the Tuonela for Crucible.

Loved that they added skyshock back to pvp map rotation, my scout got in some work for a change.

Hung Jury SR4 Treads Upon Stars Doom Of Chelchis (Raid scout)
-
5 RepliesHung Jury SR4. Try it out. Firefly, triple tap, and a perk that gives almost full stability+ the ranged scope. It's a PVE monster. It's from the DO vendor
-
1 Replywell...the raid scout is the best primary you can get from oryx. hung jury is amazing, gemini is a workhorse scout, ToM is an amazing pve scout. no, not really to answer your question.
-
Edited by BStanley92: 10/5/2015 11:25:25 PMDude... Hung jury. Buy that shit. It's amazing. I can't wait for a decent blue drop to infuse it up. Tho I'm still waiting for a replacement for my full auto deadshot luna with outlaw and hand laid stock, but hung jury is awesome. Just want one to drop with full auto and outlaw(or spray and play!)!
-
Don't forget that Ace of Spades is hunter only.
-
Most of these weapons you mentioned that are useful to your character are exotics, so you should have said exotic scout rifles are trash. Which means only 1 of them, since that eliminates all others. That being said, there are plenty of legendary scouts that are good. I run with Hing Jury from dead orbit and proc the triple tap and friefly all the time. Does decent damage and leaves my exotic slot open for the sword whenever i get it.

1 ReplyOmolon scout on my hunter is a beast. Got it from arms day

4 RepliesFoam was removed. Jade rabbit replaced it

4 RepliesI've actually been feeling the opposite to you. There's an abundance of great scouts. Granted I'm on PS4, and have been lucky with drops. Jade Rabbit is a beast, the raid scout is really good, and Hung Jury is the best legendary since Fatebringer. Need to get to level 3 with Petra for my Gemini, but in all honesty I'm rarely gonna use anything but the Jury.

K then
-
Hung jury is a fantastic scout. And I think the jade rabbit is a good scout.
-
7 RepliesYou must not have received a Treads Upon Stars yet.
-
Hung Jury SR4 I rest my case.
-
Touch of malice is a full auto scout.... and amazing.
-
Jade Rabbit [i]is[/i] the Fate of All Fools. same perks, same stats (excuse mag size), different skin.

Ayye I'm a scout rifle user and a warlock it all works out.

Yes bungie hate scouts, no Mida and no scout with the same impact/RoF as the Mida.

Touch of malice?

Treads Upon Stars Hung jury Suros dis41(?) The thread is the same graphics and stats as Voc.

2 RepliesEdited by AK: 10/5/2015 9:25:14 PMKekarooni kekatooni. Firts, even if the Gemini's exotic perk is not noticeable, which it is, the thing still handles perfectly. I ran my first raid with it, and it worked perfect. Tlaloc and Jade Rabbit are reasonable, same with MIDA, though it's still top tier in PvP. By the way, there are legendary scouts. Not Like The Other Suros DIS 4? Doom Of Chelchis Last Extremity Hung Jury SR4 All are amazing options. Btw touch of malice is life
-
Legendary scouts are where it's at, in my opinion. On your list, you mentioned Tlaloc is Warlock exclusive, but failed to mention that Fabian strategy and ace of spades are for Titans and hunters.
