They are fine they just need to tone down everything else so then they can compete with everything else

I use the YR1 IB Scout, Frostmires Hex in pvp, I'm not the greatest by far, but it's arguably the most fun weapon I use, Full auto and dragonfly, adapted my play style to be more efficient with it, not running and charging, but sitting off. Just watch as heads explode one after another lol.

They want you to use bows.

[quote]My name is Bio0012 and I love to use scout rifles in both pvp and pve but they are not very viable options currently. Scout rifles can compete in the crucible but other weapons can cause serious flinch to scout rifles and force the player to back down and most maps are not advantageous to scout rifles due to the smaller maps. The only thing I can ask for to help with the problem from Bungie is to increase effective range for certain scouts(like Jade Rabbit) because sometimes when I play Equinox the bullets do not hit my target for some reason and it does not make much sense because Jade Rabbit has one of the most range for high impact scouts. Also scout rifles range for other archetypes need to be looked at because I sometimes question the actual range of them because if a Mida Multi Tool has the same effective range as Jade Rabbit there is something wrong.[/quote] Negative ghost rider. Mida is legit!

Hand cannons are scout rifles
