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.

What are scout rifles?
-
Kinda good news. But when are you letting the 3rd seed be obtain outside of the raid? Cause still feeling like you still locked it and you now scrambling to undo that cause of the backlash.
-
My Jade wabbit is pleased
-
It was dipshit decisions like these nerfs then inadequate buffs that made me quit Destiny and keep me away. Lurking the forums is all this game is good for these days.
-
What is the plan for the tether bug when taken enemies spawn in. I keep losing my tether and it annoys me.
-
So since edge transit is bugged you mean tell me out of all the edge transits i got i could had been getting maybe a exotic? 😐
-
This is good. They need to be on par with pulse rifles.

Edited by CookieNiki: 9/22/2018 8:41:26 PMIt really confuses me why on hell did you guys felt the need to nerf Scout Rifles. It's not like they were dominating anything anywhere. It was yet another mindless decision that wasn't even explained to players or even demanded by them. And because of that mess you made, again, (there's a clear pattern in that, btw) here we are: almost 3 weeks without being able to use a Scout Rifle (as they are useless) and the need to wait for a future, non disclosed date for a patch that, by the look of it (only 15%, really?), won't turn back Scouts to what they were before Forsaken, let alone to what they were in D1. Way to go guys. You just can't help yourselves, can you?
-
I thought they seemed kind of worthless.
-
Okay so these were nerfed without any notification? Why...?
-
I can’t wait for that 15%. I’m still laying waste to everything. MIDA FTW 😁
-
Now it makes sense why nonpdy is using scouts. Fix it please.
-
Good. I hated how weak my Polaris Lance felt.

Bungie don’t listen to this cancer filled forum. The game is awesome. I been playing since alpha and can say it’s best it’s been since iron lords release. Please keep putting awesome content out. I know you can’t make everyone happy but trust that you’ve guys have done great. Thanks

Step aside Fusion Rifles, a new destiny meme is in town.
-
Nice to know. Hope the update comes soon.

Edited by Codykins: 9/23/2018 3:27:31 PMWhew, I knew I wasn't crazy. My Purpose scout rifle has felt extremely underwhelming in PvE as of lately, and I couldn't understand why it was taking so many bullets to kill standard red enemies. Same for my Forsaken Nameless Midnight with Rampage, Minor Spec, AND High Impact Reserves. I just couldn't figure out why they felt so weak. Now I know, thanks for the clarity.
-
Thanks for nothing. All the great scouts I’ve had has been shared already.

Edited by TheShadow-cali: 9/22/2018 3:57:28 PMHow about Bungie making enough content and learning how to keep a good portion of the previous content relevant? This way things like going way overbored with the cost of infusion won't take place that the grind won't be so overdone. No one wants to burn right through the content, but stretching out what little that has been offered is going to get old real quick.

Where do these “issues” come from Sounds like y’all just like pushing buttons to make us angry so you can then waste our time by pushing out updates that cause more issues.
-
When high impact scouts can 3 tap consistently again and put down most low tear red adds in a single shot is the day to celebrate.
-
When it comes to weapon balancing, we deserve the numbers and specific changes like we used to get in patch notes. We were simply told weapons got rebalanced. We need more than that. Also, can anyone give me a source for the supposed 30% nerf?
-
So you're buffing them by 15% when you already nerfed them by 30%? I thought we'd stopped with this nerfing shit, especially when they didn't need nerfed in the first place. The slow firing Scout Rifles needed buffed, if anything.
-
This nerf was more like hey we can nerf this so let's nerf it . WTF was the point of this nerf because i know it caused no problems in game .
-
Future patch, which will be in 12 months because we hate you having fun. Bungie
