Okay so I'm an avid scout rifle user. It's the only primary I ever care to use, just my play style. Year 1 saw MANY extremely useful and diverse scouts. With weapons like Vision of Confluence, Ghelions Demise, and The Scholar Adept I was easy to have an INCREDIBLE primary weapon and you could still use an exotic special or heavy. I personally went for the MIDA Multi Tool, between the clip size, and agility bonus, it was by far my favorite weapon in the game.
Now hear me out, I'm not upset that my awesome year 1 gear is not year 2 level. I just don't understand why there are not Adequate replacements for my year 1 stuff. All of this new stuff is complete garbage. They didn't boost up the ONLY year 1 exotic scout, and replaced it with a pathetic one.
Boolean Gemini? This gun is a joke. Its strictly okay as a whole. You can BARELY feel the extra agility perk in action. Compared to the Mida it is trash.
I'm on Xbox so the Jade rabbit is out of the question. Though I've heard it's nothing special, just a cool perk.
Seriously, scouts get screwed hard. Handcannons have the:
Last word
Thorn (expired)
hawkmoon
Ace of spades
First curse.
3 of them were absurdly strong and had to nerf. Still very useful.
Auto rifles have the:
Suros,
zahalo,
Monte Carlo
Fabian
All are adequate choices
Even pulse rifles have more
Bad juju
Red Death
No time to explain
All 3 adequate.
What do scouts get???
Mida (expired)
Boolean (trash)
Taloc (warlock only) I main Titan
Jade (PS exclusive)
One? I get one???
Why is this okay? Why make scouts harder to choose? With nearly ALL the maps so close range that scout is already at disadvantage, why make the selection smaller?
My only hope is the fate of all fools being in Trials of Osiris. It's extremely annoying that those of us that use scouts get noting good for year 2.
So, does Bungie Hate scout rifles?
Edit: I'm being informed of several good weapons, also that I forgot touch of malice. I was told by several people (no doubt the people that just wanted to sound like they knew stuff) that the malice was an auto rifle that they had. I have the quest to get it but haven't looked into it yet. It's a scout, yay! Other options that are legendary include hung jury and a few others that I'll try soon.
Feeling better already. It seems my lack knowledge was the problem. I thought I'd seen most all options so far.
I have grinded my balls off trying for hr Treads upon stars strike scout. 45 runs and still none.. Sad.

If they do, I hate em too. They're almost practically useless and the rate of fire stinks and they're no automatic
-
Taloc is amazing, I can't imagine how good it would be if a Titan could use it with sun breaker especially with the grenades and melee recharge faster perk.
-
Nice casually dropping "no time to explain" in there like you have it Also, dead orbit hung jury vendor model is a great gun
-
Jade Rabbit is king.
-
Hung Jury FTW. Unless you're on your Warlock. Tlaloc is a lot of fun.
-
Tread upon stars Suros (gunsmith scout) Hung Jury [spoiler] these are decent scout rifles for year 2. [/spoiler]
-
Thank you for editing this post admitting to lacking knowledge. I love all my new exotic scout rifles and was about to explode into a toxic rage.
-
I asked 12 people in a court room if Bungie hated Destiny, but the judge said it was a Hung Jury. (Best weapon in the game)
-
You forgot about the last extremity, hung jury, SUROS dis 43, and touch of malice. Better than all of those

Hung Jury with Firefly. It is awesome in Rift as a defender and PVE for mobs.
-
My Suros one is the best!
-
Hung jury. Its a legendary. Which means that you can have an exotic in one of your other slots
-
11 RisposteLook at scout on Hunter And people said arms day was useless
-
2 RisposteHave used scouts since beta: hung jury is almost TOO GOOD. Forget exotic, they all are mostly crap. Get hung jury to 310 and what else do you want ?
-
4 RisposteHung Jury. This thing is like vision of confluence on steroids. The firefly and triple tap perk paired with its insane stability make it a beast. I would highly recommend it. I was disappointed with scouts too until I got this weapon. I the immediately infused my two raid primaries to bring it to 306 because it's that good :P

Modificato da iMoto Bro: 10/6/2015 3:10:53 PMScout Rifles are the ONLY primary weapon type that has been buffed (in PvE) and never been nerfed at all, except the reduction in hipfire accuracy with the 2.0 update, which is insignificant. I think they've always been the most well rounded primary weapon in PvE. I don't think Bungie hates them at all. I think they just haven't come out with any really good exotic scout rifles other than MIDA. Also any Cabal Strike can drop Treads Upon Stars, which has base stats like Vision of Confluence but can drop with any perks. It also looks the same but it's red instead of brass colored.
-
jade is great for pve and pvp, thaloc is apparently great in pvp, other than that their only good not great.
-
How the fvck is the Boolean trash?
-
Touch of Malice is awesome, no further comment needed.
-
Hung jury from the dead orbit vendor is pretty bad ass. Near perfect stability, good impact and firefly make it quite handy.
-
Hung Jury Raid scout Touch of Malice Got to remember dude we're only a few weeks in, we still have trials and IB to start so we might get something from that! Give it time :)

Modificato da Strongbad: 10/6/2015 2:45:50 PMTouch of malice wins scout rifles over

2 RisposteJade rabbit is one of the most powerful gun in the game <.<
-
Only thing I've noticed with Year 2 scout rifles is that they all have the same stats. They all have the same RoF and the same impact. Only difference is the perks and the other three stats. I miss being able to change from a MIDA type scout to a Gheleon's type scout for different maps. If I wanted to hang back at a distance then Gheleon's Demise it was. Close-medium engagements? MIDA it was (or Another NitC for me). Hopefully Iron Banner will give us a Y2 Gheleon's to spice it up a bit

Hung jury nuff said
