So I've always been a hunter looking for the best scout rifle in the game. The obvious choice, which I stumbled upon after VOG raid completion, was the Vision of Confluence. Even the name makes you feel smart. But lately I've been gifted, very luckily, with a wide variety of new, DLC scout rifles. The Badger, NitC (which, for those that don't know, is Nail in the Coffin), and B-line Trauma. And I must say they are all good. The NitC is good all around, and with your perks, can be even better. It'll get you through battle the way most scout rifles usually do: at a distance and with time for precision shots. The Badger, the heavy hitting, slow firing rifle, is definitely for use at range. But the B-Line Trauma, is where the magic begins...
It is probably the fastest firing scout in the game. It trumps VOC in ROF, and now damage, I presume. It has excellent handling, and I would go as far as to call it the best VOC replacement around (VOC 2.0). It...just shoots so fast and you'll kill quickly in the crucible with a few headshots. I mean, this rifle is either equal or faster firing than MIDA, probably faster, and its damage is on par with its fellow scout rifles. Given, VOC will always have a place in my heart, there will have to be a replacement, unless they can buff VOC, which I pray they find the heart to do.
I think the crucible sells it, and if you want a good scout rifle that can perform in ways faster than ever before, try out B-Line Trauma.
(Edit: Please do comment if you have a scout rifle that's dear to your heart. I love to hear about them. Also what perks you look for or have that make your scout's good/loveable.)
[b]Show the love for scout rifles and bump/like this thread if you have a special someone (Scout rifle) in your life.

Edit 2: Wow, thanks everyone for their comments! I love that there are so many that love scout rifles so much. Sorry if I skipped your beloved one, I was just trying to show my new favorites. I'll check out your guy's guns and see if I find something interesting. Thanks again!
Edit 3: I forgot to mention my B-Line is random rolled, not from crucible. Its got grenadier and Luck in the chamber, with some decent middle tier perks. The crucible one is meh, so be wary. And Mida is hands down a great exotic scout, but being exotic its entitled to be a bit more fine tuned than the legendaries. The poll is geared towards legendaries, as MIDA has a monopoly over the exotic scout rifles.
Edit 4: Thanks for all comments. After looking through them I've enjoyed seeing everyone's opinions and picks. I guess its made me rethink some things. B-Line does trade impact for fire rate, but its really a good kicker. The Rapier that the crucible sells is a monster right out the box with its perks, and B-Line sadly settles for Mulligan and idk what the other one was. The one from IB, Gheleons Demise, is considered good by most of you, and the vanguard NitC, Badger, and old A1 have earned thumbs up from most of you. MIDA reigns king of exotic scouts, as it is the only one. Long live scout rifles and the brave humans, exos, and awoken that stand behind them. Bring on the comments!!

just got the satarrinne rappier from the crucible vendor instant 1 sec reload with gloves heavy caliber and firefly
-
NITC stands for nothing in the chamber that's why it has 1 less round than on the stats
-
I have b line with firefly and explosive rounds. Don't really use explosive rounds. Was a random drop but the second b line trauma I owned. Seen the value in the fire rate instantly.

Edited by Harbinger: 1/12/2015 12:45:09 AMI have a Badger CCL(Couldn't Care Less) with firefly, rodeo, and explosive rounds. It's my new bff.
-
331 Crusader 1. Good rifle
-
Dropped a 331 Crusader with firefly and luck in the chamber. My favourite gun just now.
-
Ummm mida ....
-
Only a few and lucky players like myself managed to get a scout rifle with firefly and explosive rounds. Its nice being able to run with a fatebringer in scout rifle form.
-
I have a B-line with firefly but I can't be arsed to level it up as I don't like scout rifles (hand cannons have higher impact and are just as accurate if you can use them properly)

Edited by Nate the Crook: 1/31/2015 7:13:29 PMI own a B-Line Trauma that has Explosive Rounds and Firefly.
-
My bline has firefly and explosive rounds lots of fun
-
Couldn't stand the horrifying fire rate on gheleon. I wish there were better perks on the vendor B-line as I was leveling up an alternate and had a scout with a fast fire rate that was just plain fun and kind of want to give the trauma a shot with my main
-
Iv been rocking the badger ccl... Pretty good
-
A b-line withe firefly and outlaw would be cool, my main weapon in crucible is the multi tool and the b line is cool but it only does 47 crit damage compared to 57 for the multi tool with only a little faster fire rate so I didn't like it there. I would say fang of ir yut is better than voc because zen moment is kind of wasted as scout rifles don't really have bad recoil and auto fire is also kind of useless because you can pull the trigger just as fast
-
I run Stalker BNGL, even in CE hard mode ;) works like a charm

Edited by Big Kahuna: 1/31/2015 7:12:06 PMI just picked up my 2nd "Another Nitc". This one was a reward, and got the good perks roll, Firefly, etc! It's got a larger magazine than my Vanguard bought version too! Even before leveling it up, I vastly prefer it! Went back and looked my the perks on my newest Another NITC: First perk is "Final Round" where last round in mag deals more damage. @nd set where I choose one of 3 is "explosive rounds, armor piercing or high calibre rounds", that's going to be a tough choice, and final perk is Firefly! That's an awesome perk roll!
-
B line trauma is the best. Highest fire rate in the game for a scout rifle
-
My favourite scout is my gheleons demise 331 from the last iron banner. Rodeo, explosive rounds and 3rd eye. Its a beast
-
So anyone got any more scout nominations?
-
The Badger you can buy is actually pretty beast
-
I've got a Crypt Dweller for levelling up a faction. It has Send It and Firefly, it's awesome.
-
I got a random rolled b line trauma with outlaw and firefly. It's nasty. Def use it over my mida. Sick gun if you can land it with firefly
-
The Badger you can buy is actually pretty beast
-
I have b-line with explosive rounds and firefly. VOC takes the cake, better impact and doesnt break my finger since its full auto. B line has a sick fire rate tho
