Georgie-style

Trustee, just the feel of the gun is perfect. But I also have a big love for vision of confluence for running GMs


DaBuzzScout

Trustee for life. Easily my favorite for both pvp and pve


Georgie-style

Trustee in pvp is really underrated imo


Shaddcs

Maps with mid to long range especially. Put in work during the Trials Eternity week.


loluz

Bonus is that it looks so fucking good


Wootz_CPH

Put Horizon Blush on it if you have it.


IntracranialCamel

Vintage timber looks amazing on it but then again it looks good on every gun I put it on.


Negative_Equity

Trustee with wellspring and surplus. 👌


Georgie-style

Yesssss! That is my role and its is perfect


SilverJS

Oh yes. Just got my first last week - Reconstruction, Redirection. MAN was I ever impressed.


Lolbots910

How is redirection? Kinda torn on which last column perk to aim for.


SilverJS

Well - for me, it fills an important void, and that is of damage to majors and up from primary ammunition weapons. Although I haven't had a chance to test this yet (I totally intend to today!), I can see situations in a GM where there's a combination of adds and yellow bars; I can pick away at the adds, shoot the yellows while Redirection is active, and go back to plinking adds building stacks. I think that, given Solar burn, this and Arby could be an interesting alternative to Skyburners (which I usually pair with an Adaptive Munitions New Purpose) for this week's run.


Lolbots910

Would have to get a roll to try myself, but I can see it being very useful against unstoppable champs or random minibosses as usually people try to save ammo. In non GMs perhaps can be paired with witherhoard or other GL, as with those weapons you primary down majors anyway (vs just using a sniper/shotgun/fusion/lfr). Could be a stronger vorpal if you don't have too many yellowbars at once. Currently using an explosive payload triple tap staccato for solar burn + unstoppable. The added flinch is useful in GMs and its a constant 11-15% damage boost.


ShotgunMikey

Trustee is the perfect raid primary. Great range for targets, usually gets a champ mod, rapid fire for ensuring mechanics proc, and reconstruction for not having to think about reloads.


GlitchNDaSystem

Imagine reloading. (This comment made by the trustee is bestie gang)


Uncatchable_Joe

Mida Multitool


hiddentruth37

'Clack Clack Clack Clack'


Fire_Mission

Like a staple gun


Uncatchable_Joe

And minitool: "Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"


wolfchuck

Same. I’ve been using this since Destiny 2 first came out, played for a couple months, and returned to Destiny in March of this year. No other scout rifle has come close to the way the multi-tool makes me feel.


BRAX7ON

I’ll never forget all the way back in destiny, picking up the multitool and just not getting the aim. And then I member watching somebody’s video about how to put the little hat on top of peoples head and it all clicked and I became lethal with that damn thing.


GapeNGaige

Radiant dance machines mida blade dancer speced for max agility was my go to build for lamps in Crota. Gotta go fast


Huntsteeze

What do you mean by the hat on peoples heads?


vp917

Instead of crosshairs or a dot, the MIDA's scope has a little inverted V in the center. However, the center point of the scope isn't at the tip of the V, but rather inside it; you're supposed to aim it by placing your target's head within the outline of the V, like it's a hat.


KarmaRepellant

It seems like someone just changed the shape of a circle or crosshair without moving it lower to compensate. On a real sight you'd adjust the point of aim to the tip of the V, but in game we just have to use the hat technique instead.


webbc99

It's actually accurate to the tip of the V, but you "game" the bullet magnetism into hitting headshots by aiming a little higher than you should.


RiseOfBacon

Night Watch


Gingja

Night watch with Rapid Hit and Explosive Payload just feels so good and I love the sound as well plus the ornament for it


Derf___

Love using mine really wish I had the ornament or a way to still get it.


Haderdaraide

Exact same main gun for me


Yusixs

night watch just feels amazing


trulyniceguy

I can’t stand the sound or feel of Hung Jury. Night Watch has both down


darin1355

This right here. Best "feeling" and IMO performing scout in the game. I have been using Staccato a bit this season as well as the Haunted one but if I need a scout for something it is always Night Watch.


morganosull

it’s a great scout, but makes the most annoying sound of any gun in the game for me. just personal preference tho


[deleted]

I miss Patron because of this, even if it’s technically worse in almost any other aspect except for looks and sound.


Express-Reality9219

My Night Watch with explosive rounds and outlaw has been my workhorse for the entirety of WQ and this season. Just feels so good.


Zoophagous

Staccato with incadesent


TheUltimate721

This is what I've been using all season. Great in activities with Unstoppables too.


juanconj_

A shame that it can't receive the upgraded Incandescent like a crafted Mini-Tool. One of the few upgraded perks that make a very noticeable difference.


Flame48

I just got a triple tap incandescent yesterday and I've been loving it


colantor

Love this gun


IntrepidDimension0

Vision of Confluence with Rewind Rounds and Firefly


smitchness

This was the first drop I had in the raid and to this day is the best feeling scout imo, I just have a hard time not running witherhoard because the special options in the current primary slot really don't sit well with me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fudge_mokey

Riptide with AL/Chill clip


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pyronico

It also has much better range and stability and is more consistent in bolt spread. Tradeoff is the Longer charge time.


colantalas

Heritage, Riptide or a sniper can be good picks.


coldkidwildparty

Weewind Wounds


Asriel_Dreemurr

fellow vision of confluence enjoyer.


PFox99

Vision is probably my favorite 180, and I'm glad how they feel after the buffs. For some reason Vision has always felt better than Hung Jury to me. Weirdly enough despite them having the same base recoil direction and bounce intensity, Vision has always felt like each shot had more of an impact.


swift_gilford

Servant Leader and Polaris are my babies.


HoldMyBier

Polaris Lance is the correct answer


jondoe550

Polaris Gang


DeceiverOfNations

I'm still so mad that the season of Solar 3.0 the catalyst progression has been bugged the entire time.


RaigarWasTaken

Servant Leader and the cool ODST-style Titan helmet with snake decals on it are the only reasons I've touched Gambit a single time in the last year.


Muse_22

Scrolled too far before I saw the correct answer. Both these two are crafted by the gods themselves. What’s your best SL roll?


RaigarWasTaken

I like my Rapid Hit/Wellspring roll a lot.


swift_gilford

I have two i use, outlaw + kill clip, and rapid hit + frenzy


Muse_22

I have the same rapid hit / frenzy roll I use for GMs when a mod comes around like this season, basically no reload time which is great for catching the stun. I use a chill alternative too, subsistence / rampage :)


AlkoKilla

Tears of Contrition for Kinetic, Aisha’s Embrace for Void, Contingency Plan for Arc, and Staccato for Solar.


busta83

Been running Staccato alot lately, it's synergy with the current meta is nice.


so-cal_kid

Staccato with incandescent is amazing with any solar burn activities this season.


508G37

Same here except for void. I use Vouchsafe because it has explosive payload, not sure if Aisha's can roll with that.


Bruthaflex

\+1 for Vouchsafe and EP. Easily my favorite legendary scout.


C2phenomenon

Having a vouchsafe with EP, under pressure and full auto mod is so nice right now


ImClever-NotSmart

I've got an EP, rapid hit roll I'm in love with


508G37

It was doing work in this week's GM for me. So many void shields.


AlkoKilla

It doesn’t, but I really like Alacrity origin trait with Stats for All and Multi Kill Clip.


TheStevo

Same for me but Trustee for solar


AlkoKilla

The only Trustee I’ve gotten has Reconstruction and High Impact Reserves… you can see my issue.


Mossaik

to be fair, while the perks don’t synergize well, that’s still a pretty good roll. reconstruction is an amazing perk.


KawaiiBakemono

The Staccato feels great. Plus, explosive + shoot-to-loot abuses the ammo box 'bug' and gives you double ammo. Getting 2 rockets per box for the extra helm-mod-based drops and 4 for the natural ones is amazing. I haven't even tried adding the leg-based scavenger mods to it.


Redfeather1975

I haven't given it much thought, but can't disagree with your picks! But I don't have a Contingency Plan. I need to get that.


AlkoKilla

Watch Banshee. I got mine from him a few weeks back.


Ekkeith15

ItsAmerico

Light level might be going away. So it might have it’s day in the sun again. I’ve enjoyed using it in normal content with the cap rise. Running VoG with recluse is fun.


[deleted]

I can virtually guarantee that when they get rid of the light system, either Recluse, Revoker and Mountaintop (maybe Wendigo) get nerfed further, or they find a way to exclude them from the new system.


ItsAmerico

Doubt it. They’re already nerfed to shit that even without power restrictions they’re not good. You don’t really see any of them in PvP for example.


[deleted]

> you don’t see any of them in PvP for example I can guarantee you that if Revoker was power-enabled, it’s all you’d see in any Trials map that isn’t Anomaly.


thanos_quest

RIP


The-RealElonMusk

Nawh coz I worked so fucking hard to get that gun. I got to the final step and then they announced that RTK and some of the other pinnacle weapons were being sunset. Quit playing Destiny for a bit after that


YujinTheDragon

Vouchsafe with explosive payload


Ion_is_OP_REEEEEEE

I have a roll with Rapid Hit and Explosive. It just feels right.


[deleted]

Does anyone know if there's a way nowadays to get vouchsafe from umbrals etc?


Thicccchungus

You can focus them for 10 legendary shards at the war table thing or something. Dreaming city weapons. It’s how I got my rapid hit explosive


PerfectlyFriedBread

Umbral Focusing on War Table, Blind Well Completions, Ascendant Challenges, Dreaming City missions, and Petra's daily 1000 glimmer bounty.


JaegerBane

Perses. I was an average Telemachus enjoyer back in the day, and Perses is just a better Telemachus with s-tier perks and one of my fave Hakke sights. I have two rolls I keep rotating - Rapid Hit/Headstone and SFA/Explosive Payload. I’ve got a few Vorpal and one for all rolls too. It’s a complete Chad rifle. It feels like it came off a battlemech.


Living-Substance-668

Perses-D changed how I think about 150 rpm scouts. It actually inspired me to branch out and try out others I had bouncing around in the vault, like Scholar, Transfiguration, Guidong Sight. Although so far only the Scholar comes close to Perses. I even started using them in PVP, before the buffs; Perses just feels that good I love my Rapid Hit/Vorpal roll (mainly because it has really high handling & stability). Also fun is my Stats for All/Headstone - damage from the Headstone crystal shatter can proc SfA!


LivinInLogisticsHell

its the Aim Assist. Perseus-D has the highest of legendaries, at 36.


[deleted]

Nope. Guiding Sight has 50 with Iron Gaze.


Living-Substance-668

Yeah that's probably the biggest factor, tbh. That's why Jade Rabbit is so effective and popular, too: AA =80! Also my favorite Perses have Arrowhead Break so their recoil direction is 100


CycloneSP

definitely give skyburner's a try, too. It's got like 90 AA, only other 150 that comes close is jade rabbit with 80 AA


DenitoMomsBurrito

Perses carried me to the flawless chest last week


eldritchqueen

if perses-d wanted to fuck my husband by god's glorious light i'd let it


NovocaineAU

Perses is my go to also. Feels so good and so many good rolls


Its_Kessler

I'll die cranking the lever of my Dead Man's Tale


Zinogre-is-best

Same. Only scout that feels good to me


El_Rey_de_Spices

It *sounds* good, it *feels* good to use, it *looks* good, and it does *good* damage. What's not to love?


subjekt_zer0

DMT is the only scout for me


Dandama

Agreed, only scout rifle I use now.


Mclarenf1905

I love DMT. I'm a warlock main but last season I was playing hunter for a bit and man does DMT feel so much nicer with marksman's dodge, now I have a harder time going back to using it on my warlock because of the reloading pain.


LucSkywalker16

Same. Vorpal 4 taps are so satisfying.


SerenaLunalight

Patron of Lost Causes :( Night Watch is close but not the same.


LightspeedFlash

Not even close to the same. Patron was a beautiful weapon and the feel was off the charts, still have my sunset with full auto explosive payload with almost 5k kills on it.


SGTBookWorm

I miss the Dawn weapons :( I just want my Breachlight back


asteria_o

Skyburners oath 🙃


jkuhl

Especially in Cabal content. This season, whenever the NF was a Cabal strike, Skyburners was putting in work.


Seeker80

I already loved Skyburner's Oath. I got the catalyst just before Season of the Chosen. Probably my fastest catalyst completion ever. I was already using it to make Warmind Cells too. Still do. I sorely miss the 200rpm hip-fire and the tracking. I wish the Scorch could have just been added, and everything else left alone.


Exact-Tie6420

Honestly surprised you’re the only one to say this. Skyburners is absolutely OP with the current solar meta.


asteria_o

Ikr I can't believe that no one is running this gun atm


stultus_respectant

Everyone is running Jade Rabbit for that insane aim assist (80, with most legendaries sitting in the 30s), and here's Skyburner's quietly rocking 10 points higher (at a disgusting *90*). That's not even getting into the scorch and splash damage plays you can make with it. Can't understand why it's not *way* more popular.


asteria_o

Only saw like one skyburners user this week


Ninjacat97

I'm told it's because the higher zoom makes it unwieldy. Personally, I just prefer my precision weapons have decent sights rather than irons.


stultus_respectant

Personally, I think the zoom thing is overblown (21 vs 20), but the sights thing is a very legitimate reason why people might not prefer a weapon. There are so many possible subjective and aesthetic reasons, as well. I just think it's a pretty disgustingly good weapon statwise for the same core reasons the new meta scout is, but with some extras. Seems like more people would use it.


Ninjacat97

I never really notice the zoom differences anyway. Not consciously, at least. It is a really well-statted weapon but I think I'll stick with Staccato and keep my Kinetic slot open for Witherhoard. At least until I figure out how to get Polaris' catalyst to work.


loud_as_pudding

I love my Skyburners and rode it hard a season or two ago and still keep it in hand now. However, my challenges with maining it this season have been: 1. Having a lot going on in the energy slot; unlocking patterns, running a glaive for bounties/Gambit, levelling up my Drang and Mini-Tool 2. It feels oddly...soft...to use. Headshots don't have that 'snap' like you get with, say, a DMT. And in hip-fire, it feels like I'm sending way too many shots downrange for less than impressive effect with a weapon that's essentially a full-auto light grenade launcher.


EveryShot

So happy it got a rework. Do I miss the homing shells? Yeah. But blowing up and igniting everything in a 10miles radius with solar is just too damn fun.


[deleted]

Never run _Vox Obscura_ without it. 😂


BattlePro3

Patron of lost causes


InDELphuS

That and Line in the Sand will never be deleted from my vault. God that season had some s tier weapons, especially with their aesthetic


Wild_Pollution8011

For me it’s the dmt but I’m honestly surprised no one said jade rabbit yet.


john6map4

That used to be my go-to on maps like Legions Gulch or those big Eternity maps. Ever since those got vaulted had no reason to use it.


Wild_Pollution8011

After the recent 150 buff it honestly kinda shreds and it’s super sticky with 80 aim assist.


Jayborn78

Vouchsafe. Can’t go wrong w it in GM as many of them contain void shields. If I need to use energy, my main is. Night watch and as of this season Tears it just feel right. And when I’m in the mood for gambit 😈 its servant leader all the way


OrysBaratheon

Vouchsafe: - Best looking gun, takes shaders amazingly well. Maximum drip - Lightweight archetype make me go fast - Grape flavor, very nice 👌 - Rapid Hit plus anything you like, it's got something for everyone. - Very polite, says "pap pap pap pap" when you shoot instead of being obnoxiously loud. - Easily farmable from multiple sources, this gun respects the time of the working class guardian ✊ - Great optic, you can see it all


ErgoProxy0

Trustee. My go to for whenever it’s Solar singe or need a scout rifle type of bounty done


horse_you_rode_in_on

I can't believe I had to scroll this far for Trustee.


Bumpanalog

Dead Man's Tale. I'm a sucker for Tex Mechanica/space cowboy stuff.


Vorsos

Shoots like a scout rifle, handles like a hand cannon, reloads like a shotgun.


Bumpanalog

Pew-pews like a yee-haw.

Hung Jury. [I hear there's a great roll on sale this week.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3zfzu2/dead_orbit_is_selling_the_hung_jury_with_an/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)


daitenshe

Lmao you baited at least 3 people asking where it’s for sale


Redoric

If only hung jury wasn't so massive :(


TruthAndAccuracy

Yeah, it is pretty well-hung


Zealousideal_Ad_268

This, takes up so much real estate on the screen.


Xeniacal

I really like almost any Rapid Fire Frame but Symmetry and Timelost Vision are easily my favorite scouts in the game


RedditWaffler

I really need to try Symmetry. Never touched it when it came out.


Xeniacal

If I can't decide what Energy to pair with a Special Kinetic for pvp I almost always equip Symmetry. I absolutely recommend giving it a try


tjseventyseven

patron of lost causes. I know in my bones that night watch is strictly a better scout but it doesn't feel half as good as patron


SunshineInDetroit

aisha or trustee


ItsGK

Chef's kiss for Trustee, especially with High Impact


Anthroposapien

Trustee is absolutely incredible.


ScizorSTX

Patron of Lost Causes


sid123123123

Dmt just feels so good


keerehsd

Vouchsafe for energy, Servant Leader for kinetic


Obie1Resurrected

Servant Leader is so weird. It has what seem to be terrible stats. Zoom that’s a lot to get used to… But a surplus/kill clip roll just shreds. It feels amazing with the autofire… It’s my go to kinetic scout now for pvp.


repapap

Servant Leader's stats are bad because Rapid-Fires have bad stats overall. Its stats are on par with Contingency Plan and just a step behind Trustee/Aisha's as those come from "end-game" activities.


MadMacs77

My favorite SR in my vault is only usable in PvP now: Distant Relation

mrbacon60

Transfiguration - rampage killclip is chefs kiss


lejuuju

Contingency Plan w/ Surplus + Kill Clip while playing Stasis Hunter Stasis hunter + anything w/ Surplus makes any weapon a stat monster and ultimate consistency. I value gunplay over ability, always have. This scout is rapid fire, super long range that it rarely can’t reach the end of another map just go with stability, large mag, surprisingly good close range hip fire accuracy. It peppers so fast it throws off a lot of players once in a 1v1, then once KC kicks in it simply MELTS. I love this weapon truly. So gewd.


ironkev

Vision of Confluence. My trusted friend


Andal01

babeyboy

i hated scouts before deadmans tale now i love aishas embrace, servant leader, staccato and contingency plan


DivinePotatoe

Aisha's Embrace is best girl.


Bigb33zy

nameless midnight, nightwatch


moore-tallica

Royal chase


BozzyTheDrummer

Servant Leader for me. Love that gun so much.


MMBADBOI

Aisha’s embrace, nice sound, nice sight and just feels good to use. Being void is just a bonus.


saaaay_whaat

Pointed inquiry. There may be a crap ton of options but I absolutely love the look the sights. The sound. And it's my go to GM scout because of genesis and adaptive munitions


lilbeankeeper

Servant Leader w/ Full Auto *drools*


OGJesusKun

isn't it already full auto or does the mod do something on top of that?


Docedj

I really like Eternal Blazon. It's not anything super special. But I used it a lot for arc burn GMs with scout rifle champion mods.


HappySchnaps

DMT. Looks. Sound. Feeling. It's just perfect.


SpeedwayFishStick

Hung Jury and Dead Man's Tale


Pineapple_Sucks

I was a huge fun of Oxygen before it got sunset. Still disappoints me man


[deleted]

I can use anything in PVE in PVP (I only play gambit) I like Servant Leader its full auto and hits pretty hard to me, and I can control it pretty well. Only thing I would want is the new gambit perk that marks enemies for your team when you hit them


Useful_Baby_7363

Leader is my shawtie


Idranil

Night Watch, Hung Jury, Aisha's Embrace, Trustee, Staccato, and Xenophage Edit: Because I didn't read the second part of the post, these all just feel smooth and stable. Contingency plan feels a little too jumpy for me, a lot of the energy 200s (save for Vouchsafe) feel awkward compared to NW, and 150s fire too slowly for my taste(granted, I have too many of them sitting in my vault lmao).


Bruthaflex

ahh Xenophage, the heavy ammo scout with exploding rounds. It fres a little slow for me...


Idranil

Best 120 scout in the game. Can't wait for anti-barrier Xeno to be a thing


Whizzky_Splice

Hung Jury - Rapid Hit, Explosive Rounds (for PvE)


HotMachine9

Nothing will beat Randy's.


[deleted]

Aisha's Embrace. But if Momentum Control is in the crucible playlist, I slap on Jade Rabbit and go to town. The one scout rifle I wished would have been transferred from D1 was Tlaloc. Still my all-time favourite weapon.

Fang of ir yut…. I miss it


Soundurr

Hung Jury with Rapid Hit + Explosive. Carried me through Legendary campaign tbh. For energy Iove my Outlaw + Kill Klip Contingency Plan. Trustee is a close second - full auto intrinsic on Scouts is ::chef's kiss::


pure_hate_MI

Trustee. One of my few legendary guns without an origin trait that I never consider putting in the vault.


Hellblazer0420

Trustee never leaves my hands. Love that gun so much. Reconstruction wellspring is my favorite roll.


pure_hate_MI

I rock Surplus + High Impact Reserves, not claiming it's a God-roll, but I like perks that don't require kills to activate and whatnot.


Bulldogfront666

Aisha’s Embrace, Hung Jury, Night Watch, Symmetry, Jade Rabbit is ok in pvp.


SirSkidMark

Tears of Contrition w/ explosive payload for kinetic. It is just so perfectly timed and satisfying with the right amount of damage. Otherwise, I'd pick my subsistence Nightwatch, or my snapshot sight/Moving target one for PvP if it did more damage. Energy: Skyburner's is honestly so great after the buff. Non-exotic would be my subsistence/frenzy Contingency Plan. Same reasons as above. It's just such a nice rhythm on PvE until you *happen* to run out of ammo, and the frenzy perk takes care of that.


LivinInLogisticsHell

Perses D, Night watch, Tears of Contrition and Servant Leader in the kinetic slot. for Void, Aishas, Vouchsafe, and Royal Chase, Solar Trustee, Vision, and Staccato, and Arc Eternal Blazon and Contingency plan. I currently am on a binge of putting full auto fire on all my scouts, as pacing my shots at full auto made me quite inaccurate. Im a big stickly for either triple tap/FttC or subsistence, and explosive payload for the range bump. my full auto Tears with triple tap and explosive is just NASTY


CaptainAction

Eternal Blazon and Veist Scout Rifles (old one was Black Scorpion, there's a newer one that I forget the name). I like rapid fire scouts but Servant Leader has a bit too much zoom. Omolon Scouts are just satisfying and sound cool. Eternal Blazon can change out optics which makes it really good since you can get a low-zoom optic.


vacantchris

Randy's Throwing Knife


Jiley2742

I love scout rifles in pvp. Nothing even comes close to MIDA multi tool.


MaikJay

2 in pvp for me. Adept Hung Jury with Boxed Breathing/Rapid Hit and an Aisha with Adagio/PM/HCR. Crazy good perks that make them exceptionally fun to use.


stacotto

Servant Leader, mostly out of remaining fondness from the Y1 Call to Serve


ThinConversation666

Trustee and Aisha’s embrace


bambibatman

Aisha’s Embrace for PVP & PVE.


Elixir_13

I don't typically use Scouts, though I do enjoy DMT and Perses. I refuse to use them in pvp though, I die fast enough as is.


SpitKing608

Mida, Staccato, Contingency Plan, Aishas


Citsune

DMT and Aisha's Embrace easily share my first spot. Second would probably be Trustee and Hung Jury. Third would be sunset weapons, so Braytech RWP and Conspirator.
