I've seen people use them plenty fine. As typical as this sounds "git gud". I've had my head torn off while peppering a sniper with bygones plenty of times in the last few days. Last thing destiny needs again is last word and mid range snipers running rampant. Was the most irritating combo imaginable and clearly you were one of them lol. I'll agree with the pulses though, they shouldn't be able to outgun snipers unless the sniper is really bad. However I think scouts are fine, they are basically the equivalents of DMRs which are a faster firing less impactful snipers. How ever snipers shouldn't be viable even on cqc maps. Just like some of the more open maps shouldn't mean that shotguns are super viable. If I wanna use shotguns in those kinda maps I gotta pick my engagements and stick to the enclosed areas. No gun should be low risk low skill required high reward.
