I'm mainly a scout rifle guardian having all the scout rifles thus far there are discussions on which is best. But also which are the best perks ?
1. Mida Multi Tool. With stagger round before being neutered most dominant weapon ever in crucible. Bungie really need to bring stagger rounds back.
2. The hand of judgement with firefly and explosive rounds highest damage scout rifle in the game a lot higher that the jade rabbit cuts through any boss in seconds a pve beast. At range in crucible wrecks especially snipers 2 head shot kill if guardian injured in any way 1 shot head shot will kill.

3. Not like the others with third eye and explosive rounds destroys in crucible and pve
4. The hung jury with armour piercing round and fire fly wrecks in both pve and pvp a great scout rifle very under rated.
5. Boolean Gemini a rare exotic and a power house of a scout rifle.
Others worth consideration are :- badger ccl, Another NitC, The Saterienne Rapier, Vision of Confluence ( Year 1 scout rifle full auto. ), Fang of Ir Yût ( year 1 scout rifle. ).
Best perks for damage if you get a lucky role fire fly and explosive round together or explosive round with armour piercing rounds. 3rd eye gives you midas perminent radar and field scout gives extra ammo rounds. Perfect balance boots accuracy and limits recoil keeping aim in place.

Nope. MIDA is fine.

Perfect balance boots accuracy and limits recoil keeping aim in place.[/quote] this is also not true as explosive rounds can cause firefly to not trigger... explosive rounds deal 50% impact damage and 50% explosive to the body 66% impact damage and 33% explosive damage to the head (or crit spots on certain pve enemies)... in any case the impact damage is calculated first explosive damage last, while firefly is only triggered through impact damage and not the explosive damage... for example lets say an enemy has a health of 80 and your gun deals precision damage of 100.. without explosive rounds you will trigger firefly.. but with explosive rounds, you will deal 66 impact damage and the remaining 33 explosive damge will kill the enemy, not triggering firefly... to trigger firefly the enemy must either have less than 66 health or had been damaged down to less than 66 where that impact damage does the kill... so if you want firefly to trigger everytime, do not use explosive rounds with it

2 RepliesI switched to a Cocytus SR4. It's on my Titan. This gun, and large maps, were made for each other. If only they did more flinch to snipers

2 RepliesLol at boolian gemini being rare

2 RepliesMy only misgivings with it are the slow ROF and the small magazine size.

3 RepliesWhat is the best way to farm for a hand of judgment? Also can these be ready rolled?

Edited by sugahray_: 9/7/2016 9:26:40 PMlol that is not true Hand of Judgment does not do the most damage of all scout rifles and does not kill in 2 heashots lol nice try though... it is the same archetype as Jade Rabbit, Cocytus SR4, Last Extemity, Badger CCL, and Colovance's Duty.. they all deal identical damage and fire at the same rate, with the only differences being the remaining stats... my personal favorite is Cocytus SR4, which i have 4 versions of, 3 for pve on each character, and 1 for pvp that i swap around each... there's just something about Omolon scopes that i have a feel for... i have each of these high-impact scouts and personally Cocytus just feels more reliable
-
I have one with triple tap/hand laid stock/high caliber rounds. PVE beast.
-
VoC was the best. Mida, currently the best.
-
Firefly and explosive rounds - if you get the crit kill with the explosive part, then firefly doesn't proc.

2 RepliesA.1F19X-Ryl the best scout I've ever used hands down final round Field scout- back when it gave me 27 rounds Amour piercing rounds- loves crowds Firefly- also loves crowds Saw JMPs video about his "two shot" scout freaking laughable with this and others in its archetype a real two shot Scout with weapons of light at 99 per crit
-
I have one and it wrecks, especially Cabal. Injection Mold Explosive Rounds Crowd Control
-
Does it still drop? I've been grinding. I don't get shit from him
-
Covolance duty Talolc Nl shadow over the mida handicap
-
I mained it up until I got the Iron Banner scout. It hits like a train. What makes them my favorite is how they sound and feel like guns. Not staple guns or bb rifles like the suros an Omolon rifles lol

3 RepliesThe best Destiny Scout Rifle is equipped on my Hunter right now.
-
The Calling from Y1 had crazy assist and range and many times gave the choice of ER or Firefly. To me. it was the Hung Jury of Y1.
-
The hand of judgement is a great scout rifle. Especially against snipers
-
meh for weapon stats, There's lots of choice for scouts but only 1 is 100% reliable, my MIDA never failed once, while you can get better rolls / stability with other scouts I noticed they are very unreliable I actually take my MIDA into PVE and i'm amazed how well it performs
-
Perfect Balance Explosive Rounds Crowd Control My go to.
-
I gotta say I am loving it, I even have it equipped on my Titan right now. It's got firefly and explosive rounds and hammer forged. It's pretty damn good.
-
Cockytus Sr4 with Firefly and highlighting scope. This beast is preferred over all three of my hand of Judgements. I also love my Yr 1 Hung Jury's snd my Suros DIS-47's. The HOJ is can be a sniper's worst enemy though, that is for sure. GG

1 ReplyHow can it hit harder than jade rabbit when it's the same impact? Makes no sense

3 RepliesThe crucible one from year 1 is a monster.

4 RepliesThere is no single best scout rifle in the game. There are different classes of scout rifle and you can judge a scout based on the other rifles in its class. Each scout class is determined by the fire rate and impact stat. Currently in the game there are 4 different classes. The first class is the Inward Lamp style where the fire rate is maxed but the impact is the lowest. The next class would be the MIDA style of scout. The only light level relevant scout in this class right now is the MIDA but there have been 1-2 others that behaved the same. The third class would be the Hung Jury style of scout that takes 4 shots to kill. The final class would be the Colovance's Duty style of scout. These can 3 shot if you hit all headshots due to their max impact but they have the lowest fire rate among all scouts. It isn't worth comparing scouts from different archetypes as they are meant to perform in different ways.

Covelance's duty is my favorite....unless I'm doing a non precision kill bonus challenge of elders when I use grim citizen.
