Scout rifles need a buff

I normally don't post in the forums but I wanted to get your guys' opinion on scouts. Scout rifles could use a damage buff, Bungie. I feel like most of the archetypes are balanced but something feels off. PVP: For pvp, I feel like most players use pulse rifles and hand cannons and power/special weapons for one shots. Auto rifles are seldomly used and scout rifles even less. I know the ttk are fairly balanced... PVE: For strikes and raids and such does anyone use a scout rifle over say, ace of spades/ chattering bone/ breakneck/ midnight coup? I just feel at the current state, I can just use a handcannon to do everything a scout could do, just get a little closer. I know there are those select few people that use scouts but I want to know if others feel similar? What would be great is if bungie could give us some data /report that showed what gun types were used for strikes to kill end bosses. Similar to how they did for trials in destiny 1. Thanks.

  • Scout rifles aren't the problem, map design is. Sniper and Scout rifles are useless in PvP for the most part because the maps are small, cluttered and favour CQB combat. We need large, open maps with good sightlines and less clutter so it isn't just hancannon/shotgun spam 24/7.
