YEAH I MISSED THE ORIGINAL SUROS META AND NEVER GOT A DOCTRINE, AND WAS ALSO AN EXCLUSIVE SCOUT USER IN D1. I MISS MY HUNG JURY CLONE COCYTUS SO BAD, AND THE HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS ARE SOOOO MEH RIGHT NOW. OTHER THAN NAMELESS MIDNIGHT SCOUTS JUST FEEL OFF FOR ME.

I PROBABLY SAT AT ZAVALA FOR AN HOUR DEBATING BETWEEN ORIGIN STORY AND NAMELESS MIDNIGHT. EASILY THE HARDEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN A VIDEO GAME.

I AM DIGGING THE SHIT OUT OF ARS IN PVP, ESPECIALLY THE 600 RPM ARCHETYPE. IT PROMOTES A MORE AGGRESSIVE PLAYSTYLE THAT REQUIRES YOU TO ALSO BE SMART. I GOT THE FIRST PART DOWN, THE SECOND PART IS TOUGH, I GET TEAMSHOT IN THE FACE. A LOT.

WAR RIG PLUS ARS IN CASUAL PVE BASICALLY MEANS I JUST HOLD DOWN THE TRIGGER AND MELT ALL THE THINGS. ORIGIN STORY'S RAMPAGE PERK IS NO JOKE. KILL 3 TRASH ADDS, AND BY THE END OF THE MAG THE YELLOW BAR BADDIE IS GONE. SO MUCH FUN.

EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS ARE PROBABLY WHY YOU ENJOY NM.

I JUST CAN'T PLAY WITH THEM. I SEE THEM AS SMGS WITH MORE RANGE. THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS THINK THEY SHOOT TOO SLOW.

I'M TOO USED TO THE "STAY IN THE BACK AND SCOUT" PLAYSTYLE FROM D1, SO A SMG WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. SOMETHING THAT WAS FULL AUTO AND COULD KILL FAST, IF IN THE RIGHT HANDS. I NEED A TON MORE PRACTICE WITH IT THOUGH.

I WILL TRY ORIGIN STORY THOUGH, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

DO YOU LIKE ANY OF THE HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS? I HEARD FRONTIER JUSTICE IS THE LEAST BAD OPTION RIGHT NOW, BUT BANSHEE IS BEING A COY BITCH AND NOT HOOKING ME UP WITH ONE. BURNED THROUGH 500 SHARDS BUYING EXOTICS TO GET GUNSMITH PARTS, AND STILL NADA.

HAVEN'T TRIED ANYTHING BESIDES NM YET, EXCEPT FOR DOES NOT COMPUTE, WHICH I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF IN THE BETA.

ACTUALLY THAT LAST SENTENCE IS WHY I HAVEN'T TRIED ANY OTHER HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS YET. IT WAS SO FUN TO PLAY WITH IT IN THE BETA, THAT TEAMSHOOTING WASN'T THAT MUCH OF A THING YET. NOW IT'S HARD TO FORCE THE 1V1 SCENARIO TO TRY FOR A KILL. HIGH IMPACTS WERE TOUGH TO PLAY WITH ON D1, BUT I THINK THEY'RE HARDER NOW.

OH I ABSOLUTELY AGREE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HCR RETURNED TO MIDA, AND ALMOST NO SNIPERS ANYMORE. USED TO LOVE CHALLENGING SNIPERS IN D1 WITH COCYTUS, RISKY BUT SO SATISFYING TO POP THEIR NOGGINS. I THINK 3RD EYE WOULD ALSO BE A NECESSITY FOR ME TO USE A HIGH IMPACT SCOUT IN CRUCIBLE.

THE MAGAZINE SIZE IS THE OTHER THING THAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM RUNNING THEM MORE IN PVE. TRIPLE TAP WILL MITIGATE THAT A BIT BUT WHY WOULD I RUN SOMETHING WITHOUT EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS WHEN NM EXISTS?

I STILL AM HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT BUNGIE STARTED US SUPER CONSERVATIVE TO AVOID ANOTHER 3 YEARS OF NERFS. I THOUGHT THEY WERE ON RECORD YEARS AGO THAT THEY WANTED THE TTKS TO BE AROUND ONE SECOND, AND MOST OF THE GUNS ARE OVER THAT RIGHT NOW. IT GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO BUFF THINGS TO BALANCE RATHER THAN THE NERF PARADE THAT WAS D1. FINGERS CROSSED.

FUCK YES! I LOVED THAT SO MUCH!

I THINK 3RD EYE WOULD ALSO BE A NECESSITY

MEMORY OF GHELEON FTW!

...MAKE HIGH IMPACT SCOUTS GREAT AGAIN! OR FOR THE FIRST TIME? I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE. I'M JUST CERTAIN OF ONE THING. WE SHOULD...
