What is up with the scout hate?
I just don’t understand why they are getting nerfed. Pulses I can see. But SCOUTS? They aren’t even being used outside of the exotics.
It feels like if the game isn’t in a HandCannon meta every weapons gets nerfed down. I just don’t get it. Is only one play style out voicing the others?
Hopefully the auto changes and the rangefinder nerf actually do something but I doubt it.

3 Repliesscout rifle main here. I love 200s and 150s like jade rabbit and Polaris lance. But honestly tho idk why bungie always nerf scouts when they start to shine. But when it comes to hand cannons bungie never does a thing. They literally bypass flinch resilience and move your reticle like crazy (even without high cal). But HC can still land crit shots under heavy fire for a weapon that doesn’t have a stock. For me at least bungie has some kind of favoritism to HC

7 RepliesBc most Scumgie devs cater to Hunter/shotty/HC playstyle. They want Hand Cannons to be the most viable primaries. By Lightfall it'll be full on HC meta again. Mark my words.

1 ReplyI don’t know why even a bungie weapons designer employee stated that 150’s are too strong. They literally have the same time to kill, and outside of radiance (or other damage boosts) it’s still a 3 shot headshot only. It only has slight forgiveness in a team shooting standpoint. Nothing else really changed about them. 150’s (mostly jade rabbit) are only popular because of popularity, not necessarily because they are too strong. People stepped out of their comfort zone and started using 150’s and found that they are good weapons overall.

Streamers want weapons that require more skill… HC’s and snipers for typical noob control in PvP, and weapons the noobs can’t get for pve.

13 RepliesPulses and smgs are taking the crucible by storm. I don't understand. Scouts were basically the best counter to snipers now what? We're gonna complain about snipers again. (The reticle jump is still an issue truly tho)

11 RepliesThey're still going to be good. As is they're a bit too forgiving with things like radiant running around. They have a faster ttk than 140s and better range. You biased blind little sheep all spout nonsense

Edited by True: 10/8/2022 8:42:10 AM150's are a little to hot right now, but not the extent I think they should be nerfed. Scouts are so inherently disadvantaged that they kind of need to be hot to function, see DMT (RIP the boy). I understand why its happening, but I don't agree with it.

10 RepliesWhich scouts are being affected? I thought it only said High Impacts

7 RepliesBungie doesn’t care if The Community doesn’t enjoy SEASON OF THE HUNTERS. Bungie loves Hunters and will continue to cater to Hunters. And if you’re a Hunter who Streams on Twitch..... watch out they’ll buy you a plane ticket to The Twitch Convention. WELCOME TO SEASON OF THE HUNTERS are you not entertained?

1 ReplyHigh impacts finally felt good, useful….and now they got a slight nerf. Sigh.

I wish I knew. Probably something to do with the accusations that came out against the troop leader.

18 RepliesEdited by The Gambit Gatekeeper: 10/6/2022 11:10:41 PMCounterpoint, Handcannons are fun to play with and against along with autos and sidearms. Long range Metas are so boring. Rangefinder nerf was unwarranted.

3 RepliesI think Bungie shot themselves in the foot with Scouts when they introduced Bows. They compete for the same area of effectiveness. One of these has to be better than the other & you can't have these weapons competing with Snipers. So, either Bows or Scouts can be a good long range single shot semi-auto, the other will under perform, & neither can be easier to dominate the long range space over snipers.

3 RepliesScouts feel fine. Jade Rabbit is an entirely different beast, especially with damage buffs. Other than that I really hope pulses rifles get nerfed hard. In my opinion they are much worse than handcannons

1 ReplyIt is streamers play style and Bumgie just serving casual players. Sad but true.

9 RepliesIt’s due to the sit in the back of the map team shotting, camping lanes passive play.

7 RepliesPeople will always use hand cannons no matter what. They’re just the favorite weapon type and most fun to use.
