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.

Makes sense why my talon of the eagle at 150 rpm wasn’t one tapping acolytes

Please give the fusion rifles a bit of love, none seem to be as good as my old thesan fr4 from D1, telesto is very good but the rest seem to be under powered, with shotguns being so dominant in crucible now I really want to melt people with fusions but they just don’t feel the same as destiny 1.

Glad you’re telling us now, but it woulda been nice to hear in the patch notes, because then we coulda saved you the two weeks of realizing how bad of an idea it was
-
WOW! You have have no one to blame but yourself when your player base leaves because of all this shadiness. Remember when you throttled the xp and didnt tell anyone? Why do you guys do stuff like this? It only hurts your credibility.
-
Gonna get hard core pvp players whining for a dmg increase. Just so they can whine how its broken the next week. Then bungie will over compensate and nerf it more just so they can whine about that it was reduced too much.
-
Good news !
-
PVE only?

Good stuff #morebuffslessnerfs

Scout rifles are in a horrible place. I used them all the time in D1. They just have never felt right in D2, not even the damage,just the overall feel. I would use nameless midnight,from time to time in year one, and it at least felt ok. First time I used it in year 2, i could see the damage drop off,and didn't even feel the same as in year 1. Who ever works on scout rifles,on the bungie development team, needs to go back and play D1, to see and feel the difference. Some of the worst scout rifles from D1,feel better than some of the best scout rifles of D2.

Edited by x 4theRage: 9/22/2018 5:05:39 PMWhen are these updates coming out? It's been like 3 weeks almost. Also you guys never touched scout rifles in D1 they were always in the sweet spot soooo what the heck happened to that data
-
Why are you guys always nerfing stuff???
-
150 rof scouts should hit just as hard as 150 rof hcs. Why is that hard to understand? 15% isn’t going to make up that gap.
-
So half of what you guys nerfed is what you are bringing back...... How about restoring it completely? I mean you did unintentionally nerf them after all......or did you? 🤔
-
What a shitty thing to do to your community after you have made so much money off of us, honestly once Borderlands 3 comes out im so done with Bungie. You guys just cant help yourselves can you?
-
Why were they nerfed in PvE in the first place? There shouldn't be any reason for that
-
15% is laughable.
-
Thank you for telling us! Can’t wait for the update to come out.
-
geez, I thought it was me. i guess not
-
And what about about IB and CRUCIBLE tokens not dropping? Bear in mind IB will be over soon....
-
I knew you guys did something to scouts! I have some sick rolls on them but they hit like b bs. Might as well take them back and bring back MGs. 😵
-
Good, scouts have been shite in D2 need more quality scout rifle like we had in D1.
-
Why was the damage on Scouts reduced in the first place? Never understood that one, but thanks for the fix!
-
Why were scouts nerfed to begin with? They were weak af and you could out range them with any pulse. Should we prepare for a new scout meta? If so, how long do you think it'll be before you nerf them again thanks to the crybabies? I saw a video, pre-forsaken, in which bungie employee's claimed you'd be stopping with the nerfs and tackling issues with buffs, do we need to wait for D3 for the common sense hot fix at bungie studios?
-
So what the hell warranted a nerf again? A dumb ass sandbox team that doesn't know you can't equip 2 exotics probably... Here we go again, just like the poor ARs back in D1Y1... nerf, nerf, nerf. Oh, they shoot blanks now? Nerf em again to be pew pew sounds instead of any ammo at all. Seriously though, the community is literally crashing because of this absurdly inflated infusement system, and the idiots go and unwarrantedly nerf scouts just because.

Edited by Sky: 9/22/2018 5:34:15 AMIm not sure why you people feel the need to touch things that you shouldnt, and have no need to touch to begin with. Scouts were rather weak and lackluster from the start which saddened me since I loved scout rifles.. i used nothing but the hung jury in D1, and there is no other gun in D2 that can take its place or compare.. Stop with this un-needed nerfing, and actually do something that the community is outraged about. Like the masterwork cores!

So........is there a reason you guys nerfed Scouts when Forsaken dropped without telling us at the time? What other weapons did you nerf without telling us?
