They are fine now. Pulses and HC need a slight reduction in range to make scouts more necessary.

I wouldn't say fine they're mediocre, Bungie deliberately left them weak because of the supposed range advantage but then they nerfed them to a mid range weapon. Obviously some halfwit at Bungie had a bad experience with scouts.

Scouts were the meta for an entire year, they are synonymous with what most people regard the worst Destiny PvP ever. Bungie are obviously cautious about restoring them to where they were before. Of course lots has changed since then; TTK is lower, there are more people on the map and there are lots of shotguns on mostly close quarters maps, meaning that the advantage of being able to stay in the corner of the map and pick people off isn’t as great anymore, since most people with tunnel vision will get OHK with a shotgun user before they can react. So yeah, scouts aren’t meta and neither should they be, I think they reward a certain play style but aren’t powerful enough to cause a problem since they aren’t a crutch like shotties or 180rpm HCs. Now if they could just balance the other weapons, we’d be good.
