Looking for scout rifle pointers
Hi everyone.
So I recently received the Fang of Ir Yut from Crota's End, and I came to find out that I love using this scout rifle. However, when I carried it into the Crucible, I was unable to get even a single kill with it.
I normally run with pulse rifles (have been since before the patch), and I do pretty well with both Bad Juju and the Stranger's Rifle. My average K/D isn't bad, slightly above a 1.0
However running with the Fang, I lost eleven gunfights in a row, before I said "screw it", pulled out the Juju and began melting fools.
Anyway, I would love to run with the Fang of Ir Yut, but I haven't been able to make it work in PVP. Does anyone have any experience with this weapon or similar scout rifles?
Any constructive pointers would be welcome - thanks!
**Edit** [spoiler]Thank you for all of the tips and suggestions. Using your advice, I am now wielding my Fang as effectively as could have hoped. After a few games, I consistently earned a positive K/D, even up to a 2.0
So thank you very much![/spoiler]

Scout Rifles are mid to long range weapons where you 3HKO with headshots, 4HKO with body shots. Unless you have VoC or MIDA don't expect to win must 1v1 scenarios from mid to close range. Think of it more as a semi-Sniper that you would use you pick off low HP enemies or targets from several meters away. My Warlock has a Badger (mid range) variant equip atm but I also have Saterienne Rapier (long range). When you are going for kills shot exclusively for headshot to optimize your gun usage. If Fang isn't working for you then go to Crucible vendor and buy Rapier using a mid scope you should be fine. The key to Scout Rifles, like Hand Cannons, is going for headshots (albiet HC are close to mid, SR are mid to long).
