Scout Rifle Damage
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.

Future patch, which will be in 12 months because we hate you having fun. Bungie

15% isn't enough, increase to 30%(+)

The day after the pre-Forsaken update dropped I went into Prestige Calus and equipped Nameless Midnight to pop the psions as I was going into the void. After one instant wipe where we quickly discovered scouts had been nerfed into the ground, I equipped a pulse and haven't used a scout in anger since. Unnecessary and uncalled for nerf. This felt like it was simply an attempt to get us use something other than Nameless Midnight in PvE because it was popular and effective. All these nice new scouts all of them pointless to equip. Very poor decision.

I love you for this...

Great news..having to use pulse rifles and hand cannons was getting boring love using a nice little scout might get mananan sr4 back out and start levelling it

16 RepliesThis comment by Dmg basically comfirms Bungie can seperate the weapon nerfs/buffs for PVP/PVE, He says scout rifles had a nerf for PVE so their should be no reason any weapon should suffer in both PVP/PVE.

"Too many people are using Nameless Midnight, and not even trying our other garbage weapons, like sidearms. So let's nerf scouts, and then not give them any new ones, and only give them 7 dozen sidearms so they'll try out this POS gun I spent 3 minutes designing."

Yeah I hold onto weapons just Incase you nerf or make them the meta. I love forsaken, I do wish you could free up my vault by either one: stop tweaking. Or two, just introduce a new weapon that’s better than the one that’s causing problems. I’m not you guys but I like the variety of playing with different weapons all the time and not stuck to one because it’s the best. Now I’m chasing the PvP hand cannon and worried you’ll nerf that. I’m having bad RNG even though I love it. I know sounds weird but hate looking at a weapon I want to use but I can’t because it’s weak.

Thank you! I love how responsive you guys are to feedback now! The future of D2 looks bright :)

2 RepliesEdited by Jinx: 9/23/2018 4:13:57 AMThank you. I could tell something felt really off about scout rifles. I think I'm kinda a confirmed bow user now though... My suspicion was you were just trying to outmode scouts by replacing them with the bows, being they handle a similar roll. I just love the bows so much.... I hope I can get the oathkeeper gauntlets.... Say, I don't know if they're event locked or not, but where as the gauntlets allow you to draw faster and hold indefinitely, do they hold the bow at that "Sweet spot" or does it just prevent you from losing your grip after a while?... You know, that special point where you do the most damage.

Let’s see, your nerfs broke something, how shocking Learn how to dev bung

10 RepliesWhy weren’t we told about this in the first place? It sounds pretty intentional, so why not say anything about it?
-
It was intentional? That's just absurd.
-
Good because scout damage is crap.
-
Thank you thank you. Scout Rifles have always been one of my favorite weapons here, but I haven’t used many since Forsaken dropped because their damage output did not seem on par with the rest of the weapons archetype. Looking forward to using them again soon. =)
-
Why do you do these things when they’re not needed?!?! Leave PvE alone!!!

Edited by Toecutter956: 9/23/2018 9:47:59 AMI was wondering why my scout rifles seemed a bit week recently especially in the crucible etc. Now i know i`m not going crazy ffs! Glad i did not get rid of them .

Bungo's incompetence once again. If it weren't for being by Microsoft and now Activision, you'd be out of business.

2 RepliesI feel like people forget how impossible it was to fight against the Mida in the beginning of D2 and all ppl talked about was "nerf mida". Which was part of why scouts got nerfed. With that said bungie has obviously turned over a new leaf in terms of their thought process in what is strong and what is overpowered. I'm happy that they are addressing this issue and giving them a 15% buff to put scouts in a competitive space next to the overabundance of hand cannons and pulses

1 ReplyFor everyone complaining they did it to force the bows on us. They want the bows between scouts and snipers. 30% would make a bow useless so thats why we get 15
-
Edited by Jayne of Canton: 9/23/2018 12:07:37 AMHow much were they nerfed? 20%? 30%? Because without knowing that, we can’t make a call as to whether a 15% buff will be enough. Also since the devs sometimes struggle with math don’t forget that when dealing with percentages, you have to buff a larger percentage than the percentage that was nerfed to get back to normal since you’re buffing a reduced baseline number. Hopefully you actually mean 15% and this isn’t another .04% debacle again 😂.

2 RepliesSo that's why my Polaris lance felt weak.... thanks for owning up and letting your player base know.

Thank god, it’s been underwhelming as all hell
