That scout rifle buff though

ABOUT. DAMN. TIME. 36%? That's far more than I expecting. Cant wait for the update to go live and try out all my favorite scouts. No feelings, cut and run, distant relation. I feel like with this buff even precision frames are gonna hit like a semi truck. Snipers got a buff. SMGs. Sidearms!! [b][u]Edit/addition:[/b][/u] I gotta admit. I saw the number and got excited but the more I look at this and others have pointed it out it was give a little and take a little. I'm still optimistic but we won't really know until shadowkeep drops and we see how our favorite weapons perform.

  • Guess you need to read it over again. The adjustment to the enemies. They are blowing smoke up your azz!!!! Just watch. Bungie make it easier or more fun? It’s the same useless crew. Grind is their thought of a game; not fun. How in the hell are you so quick to forget this?

    • 100% precision damage nerf for minors so you will actually do less damage to them. The buff is decent for majors but primaries are seldom used for tanky opponents. I predict this will feel like a nerf.

        I've been out here telling people that Transfiguration is the best weapon they never use. One of only two primary weapons that can have both Rampage and Kill Clip, the other being Kindled Orchid. Easily my favourite primary weapon from the entirety of Destiny; 2-taps in PvP even across the longest lines of Equinox, has a nice clean scope and looks absolutely beautiful!

        • Once the 17th rolls around I’m gonna start grinding my butt off for a god roll Lone Survivor for the Firing Line perk.

            • Scout rifles get a buff. Yet oxygen will probably still underperform as a pinnacle weapon. It’s main perk, meganeura, should just have dragonfly built in. It just takes up the perk slot otherwise. I wish they would just change it to multikill clip.

            • Well almost everything gets a buff against minors of around 30% to offset the precision dmg change. Then you have bows getting 26% against majors vs a fuzzy worded 36-18% rank depending buff for scouts. Bungie ‘s handcannon boner syndrome will protect HCs from being in any danger from scouts I’m pretty sure. Cutting the range on pulse may make them suck more, but doesn’t help scouts much in everyday situations unless you have really open areas, which we don’t have much of in d2 to begin with. Ultimately we’ll have to just give the new sandbox a spin though, who knows, perhaps scouts will feel good, but I wouldn’t celebrate just yet.

            • Still not good enough. Primaries are getting buffed across the board to partially make up for the nerf to precision damage on minors. This will be a net NERF to precision shots on minors, and a buff to body shots. Bungie is walking back the changes they made in Forsaken (my memory is fuzzy on the exact timing, but I'm pretty sure it was Forsken). Back then, Bungie nerfed base damage (body shots) and buffed the critical hit multiplier. They shifted damage heavily in favor of critical hits. Now they are reversing course. They are bringing base damage (body shots) back up and heavily nerfing the critical hit multiplier. This is not the buff scout rifles needed, it's just part of the overall change to precision damage. Scouts needed a ~22/23% buff BEFORE these changes just to get back to pre-Forsaken levels.

            • I’m happy about it too, but they gave most weapons a PVE buff, including high impact pulses, so we’ll see how well they do

              • They buffed it twice during Forsaken. It wouldn't surprise me if it still underperformed at Shadowkeep release.

              • That Subsistence buff tho. Could be a game changer, especially with the incoming nerf to Well and Barcade. The perk might be top tier in Shadowkeep!

                • There is a problem. Everything else is getting a similar buff. So why would we use scouts with 30% damage increase when I can use a pulse that also has a 30% damage increase?

                    Bungie doesn’t give anything back without a trade. I imagine that precision damage nerf to minors is going to counter the buff and take some of the wind out of our sails.

                        • That’s 15% higher than pre forsaken... Still lower than other weapons though.
