Scout Rifles need a buff

Title. Scouts are a handicap, this isn’t something that needs explaining.

  • As a scout user 90% of the time, scouts are fine I think you just might want to practice getting good. If they get a buff everyone uses them then the inevitable nerf happens to make them worse than before.

    • Yesterday I swapped to jade and it was pretty fun. Stay out of range and use sidearm or smg along with it. Yes it anti meta. It could use some flinch.

      • And 140 hand cannons need to kill in 2 heads one body. 110s kill in 1 head 2 body 150s kill in 3 heads It just makes sense that 140s kill in 2 heads 1 body

      • This is also a function of map size and design. There are few maps where even the few good scouts are better choices than autos, pulses or hand cannons. Vostok is a map where a scout is truly viable. Eternity and equinox, too, but those maps suck, haha.

        Regardless people's opinions, hand cannons for over a year now been hands down the most equipped primary. Just look at Destiny Tracker here and there and randomly inspect players on this app. Yes lately Hard Light and Surous been getting some love but it you look at PVE instead it's all hand cannons for primaries even after lots of them got nerfs. So scoutts need lovin regardless cause it is pretty damn hard to find multiple people rocking scoutts as a primary. But let's be honest. The best you can hope for from Bungie is a reply saying they heard you, they move on, never actually giving two flying -blam!-s what any player posts.

        • [quote]Title. Scouts are a handicap, this isn’t something that needs explaining.[/quote] It’s funny that the one weapon type that needs the most love are scouts and there was no mention of a buff!

          • Randy's is awesome if you get good with it. It can match or better pretty much anything at range in PVP. Does wonders in PVE Gotta keep moving though when snipers pop their ugly camping asses up.

          • Less flinch. More impact TO flinch. Thats pretty much the only thing I see us getting away with....

            150s 3 tap. 180s need a buff, theyre garbage if they dont have box breathing. Also, many snipers need an aim assist nerf (beloved, revoker) OR take out enhanced.sniper aim, which wont happen. Snipers are too easy to use rn.

          • Lpicciola you make some valid points and i agree that eververse should be removed from this game. But Whether we wanted it or not, we’ve stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let’s get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta’aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defences, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

            • I’ve been playing back through d1 recently and I can confidently say this is absolutely correct. Scouts are strong and effective, with fair target acquisition in d1, but in d2, they’re like puny snipers. Absolutely unforgiving if you miss your shot, and 15 times weaker. Good luck using high impacts, which always were my favorite. It’s impossible anymore. It makes me sad, really. Bows destroyed scouts, and continue to help make them irrelevant.

            • Yeah. I saw everything get nerfed and buffed besides Scout Rifles. I would say that like, what, 0.5% use it consistently? And yet, still no buffs. Bungo, BRUH, fix yo stupid game already

            • In pvp some pulse rifles can two burst kill at scout ranges and most can do it with a times 1 rampage, i tested my calusea noblesse and managed a times 3 rampage and still needed three hits for a kill, granted two head one body at this point but still could not two tap to the head being a high impact frame on a 150 scout. Which is naturally the highest dmg for scout archetypes....

              • Think of it like this Guardian...they're better now than they would be after being buffed then nerfed to hell 2 months later. We've been through this many times and unfortunately the players end up worse off than before.
