Scouts are useless now.
They can’t duel or fight anything. Change it back.

16 Respostas[quote]They can’t duel or fight anything. Change it back.[/quote] Useless now??? Other than about a day or 2 here and there, scouts have been useless since D2 came out. HC's, pulses, and autos can out damage you at just about any range. Bows are basically primary ammo snipers. The forgiveness of sniper aim assist is absolutely stupid (after watching video after video of YouTubers "head shot" where their reticle isn't even on the players head). Fusions can one shot you up close. Maps are so small, old, and outdated that the only play style Bungo idiots want every player to play is aping everything. Let's not talk about how useless scouts are in pve activities where you have to go through 10 mags of ammo to kill 1 low health red bar (over exaggeration I know, only 9). Everyone griped about scouts in D1 and with the advent of bows, scouts (one of my favorite archetypes) are not usable other than the occasional champion weapon in certain pve modes. At this point, scouts should be sunset. At least, that seems to be the mode of thought from Bungle.

Consider using randy's throwing knife and polaris lance. Both are great and are opposite play stiles. Randy's is for closer duels at slandered assault rifle range and it keeps up. Paring it with an smg and shotty are typically best. Polaris is a primary sniper rifle. On its own it is great but is highly vulnerable at close ranges. So to make up having an smg on you is great. These are solid combos and you might wanna give em a try. [spoiler]nibbles crayon[/spoiler]

This isn’t a criticism, but I assume you are referring specifically to Cruciible, and more specifically Checkmate Control? Because with the new seasonal mods that spread damage on solar weapons that can consistently make headshots, both Trustee and Polaris Lance are top tier weapons now in PvE.

1 ResponderThe problem ultimately is that people who think scout rifles being good is bad for the game actually mean it interferes with their specific play style. Really bungie should have just bit the bullet, and had some weapons, by active perks, be better for some classes, if not exclusive to some classes. The fact that they did this with exotic armor is proof they know it was the correct way to design the game even if it made some people unhappy. And the fundamental reason why, regardless of it's popularity, destiny will only ever be a "meh" game, is because they try to please extremes and imagine, falsely, that means they are serving everyone.

7 RespostasEditado por Kenny: 12/4/2023 12:09:31 PMI don't know man, the Thorn scout rifle, Hawkmoon scout rifle and Ace Of Spades scout rifle feel pretty solid. Also, you can always try the Crimson pulse rifle, or go with the Igneous Hammer sniper rifle cos it runs on primary ammo. Good thing Bungie keeps a diverse sandbox in Checkmate...

Jade Rabbit isn't good necessarily but its never been bad, it can duel at long range and short range. Nothing makes it special its perks aren't great but it is the Jack of all trades, you can use Jade Rabbit for anything, it is does not excel at any one thing.

1 ResponderCan't speak for PVP. PVE Polaris Lance is annihilating everything with spam from far.

I BEG TO DIFFER.

35 RespostasCounterpoint. Scouts promote the worst, most boring playstyle available and actively hurt the pvp sandbox. It's good when they're bad.

5 RespostasIn checkmate yes, core crucible no.

2 RespostasEditado por A_O_Assault: 12/2/2023 2:05:39 AMI have an adept Hung Jury with Box Breathing and No Distractions that will out duel most anything from range. Most maps in PVP are sadly built weird and not conducive to scouts

5 RespostasI just beat the new dungeon with a scout.....skill issue

I, for sure, don't like lightweight frame scouts. I'm not sure if this matters or not, but if you have one with Explosive Payload and you fight a player with max resilience, it can't even 4 tap. Unless that's just an annoying damage bug that I encountered. And missing headshots make them very unforgiving too, doesn't matter what range it is.
-
Probably you're dueling too close.

6 Respostas[quote]They can’t duel or fight anything. Change it back.[/quote] I've been rocking a Randy's Throwing Knife with GSS & KT for about three weeks now. Its my primary weapon now, and approaching 9k kills in PvE. I have a few hundred PvP kills across various RTK with different perks. Yesterday I was toying with Symmetry. Wicked Implemented and Polaris Lance aren't half bad either, but for me I favor Rapid Fire.

This might be in the playstyle. I'm a more tactical style player through and through, and I get alot of good use with scouts. They're one of my preferred weapons in the game. Never leave home without it. If your connection gets iffy at times, scouts may not be so great there too. There are alot of things it could be though.
-
As scout rifle and PvP main I can tell it actually depends. Personally I feel they are in a ok position now.

6 RespostasScouts are for bots. Sitting at the back spamming 👎🏻 remove them entirely
-
2 Respostas[quote]They can’t duel or fight anything.[/quote] Perfect. Nobody likes fighting a 180 Scout that can 3 tap. It’s boring af and requires no skill.
-
3 RespostasI'm guessing we are talking about PvP here.

14 RespostasPeople still use scout rifles?
-
2 RespostasThey are more useful now than ever. I appreciate Bungie's constant fiddling with the meta.

5 RespostasEditado por NotCreative123: 12/1/2023 5:05:51 PMPRIMARY WEAPONS WERE ALREADY MOSTLY BALANCED. WHY CHANGE THEM? May as well lock us out of the mode if we aren't using a handcannon

Wait, they weren’t useless before?

8 RespostasBecause you don't know how to used them?
