Another NiTC is fantastic. I've had both Badger and NiTC and I like the NiTC more. But both can be great weapons. My NiTC has firefly and explosive rounds. And with a 19 round mag, its a very good scout. Both of the Vanguard scouts are great. Edit: But if you get lucky like me on Hard Crota and get the Fang of Ir Yut you will be switching back and forth. The Fang is a wonderfully balanced weapon.
