At the release of Destiny 2: Forsaken, Scout Rifle damage was reduced for PvE activities. This was further impacted by an issue where Explosive Rounds were negatively effecting damage, which was addressed in a recent hotfix.
To further address the player feedback, we are planning to increase Scout Rifle damage by 15% in a future patch.
Stay tuned for updates.

The TWAB stayed that scout damage was getting buffed against non player enemies in gambit. However, I was under the impression it was getting buffed in general for all PvE activities. Please clarify.
-
Still no buff. I'll just head over to destiny one where the dust has already settled and I don't have to deal with this bull honky.

Nerf Buff Nerf Buff Need I say more

When is this planning on getting fixed?

Why did this thread seemingly vanish??

This was pretty crappy on your part Bungie. Nobody was complaining about scouts being too strong or too weak. The only reason I can think of that you did this was to PUSH players to use pulse rifles and bows as these are the new weapons you "want" us to use rather than our trusty and accurate scouts. Make all weapons effective and let the players choose what best fits their play style.

DAILY REMINDER [quote][quote][quote]BUFF SCOUT RIFLES BY 30% NOT 15% IN PVE[/quote][/quote][/quote] [spoiler] PVE is not Player Versus Everyone PVE is Player Versus Environment [/spoiler]

Secret nerfing again huh? Are you trying to forever ruin all trust of your fans? Well you’ve succeeded, you can stop trying now.
-
For once I find myself on the side of the salty folks ... I'd like an explanation of WHY the damage was nerfed 30 percent and why it is not being restored to 100 percent.
-
I have no idea why you guys felt it was a good idea to reduce the damage of a weapon people weren't using in the first place only to turn around and buff it again. Did you learn nothing from the excessive nonsense in Destiny 1 with the idiotic weapon rotation. You've already succeeded in making a hand Cannon and kind of pulse meta in The Crucible again. Is it too much to ask to have all four classes reasonably balanced and just leave it alone?
-
And please buff high impact low ROF scouts! They're everywhere in Forsaken and the archetype is rubbish.
-
I haven't used a single scout rifle since Forsaken droped, and probably still won't because everything else will still be more viable even if they were brought back to their original position. They all just feel off imo. Like they're too slow and clunky or are outdated.
-
Please put scouts back to how they were pre forsaken. NO NERFS PLEASE. We want to have fun! Pve is fine how it is. This has been said so many times it’s almost not even worth saying again, but, I will. Separate pve and pvp for the sake of your game.
-
why tf would you nerf scout rifles to begin with?
-
God job, Bungie. There was not a single thing wrong or OP with scouts yet you decided to "fix" then till you broke them. Could you guys leave things alone that are perfectly fine? You are causing more problems not less Jeez!!
-
Why did you nerf scouts in the first place. Nerfing things for no reason, creating a problem when there was no problem. GG
-
Buff edge transit still waiting for that god roll.....
-
So it wasnt just me that thought scouts were lacking in damage. Now can you address the real issues about masterwork cores required to infuse and mod components that are even more rare than an exotic dropping?
-
Please fix my scout rifle!!!
-
Uhhhhhhh WHY
-
Glad to hear it. Scout rifles seem very under powered to me. I rarely use them because of this.
-
bunch of morons. Scouts didnt need a nerf. NERF BUNGIE ALREADY.
-
I thought scouts were nerfed from the beginning? You're telling me they were nerfed again? Why? They were already pretty much useless. Why would you ever use a scout?
-
bunch of morons. Scouts didnt need a nerf. NERF BUNGIE ALREADY.
-
The kids on this forum are a cancer. A post addressing a fix for scout rifles...and people are bringing up drop rates, and how their hamster died a month ago. Stay on topic kids.
-
And yet you still haven't fixed Sleeper in Gambit. Try doing one thing at a time. Multitasking is not something Bungie does
