I’ve been using the Mida Multi tool as my scout rifle. I do have and did like the Call to Serve. That worked well on PvP as well. I have this saved for future infusions. I did earn the Nameless Midnight and it’s at 270. I have not tried it yet. Just earned it before I logged.

I’m not so sure about the Mida Mini Tool. It’s nice but I feel a tad inaccurate. It has a huge bullet spread. I got a Death Adder last night @ 276 and that just feels a lot better as it’s way more accurate.

I want that sniper rifle. I’m looking for a good one for both PvE and PvP. Currently I’m using some shotgun as it’s got a decent LL. I will be picking up Merciless from Xur today.

No clue I don’t pay attention to the names or stats. As long as they go pew pew then I am good. I know for a fact I don’t have any of the weapons you listed. I did like the Sunshot until it was way under power level and I had to change to something else.

I always love using auto rifles. I have call to serve and it is a legit scout. I also have a sniper thats pretty good called widows bite i think. Has a 6 round clip and little recoil. Haven’t used it much but when i have it feels good.

I have been using the Seven-Six-Five Scout Rifle and Origin Story Auto Rifle.

I use the trusty rubber chicken. It’s light and has a slap you up side the head attack of 283. :rooster:

I have one, I will definitely try it out in the crucible.

I think I had that in the beta.

I’m switching back and forth between the exotics MIDA and Vigilance Wing, and running the mini tool as a close up weapon.

Taken from Discord Chat. @brokain brought up a good point that my dense mind didn’t even think off. I’m trying to find a good energy AR.

@Lala Calamari if you have a kinetic auto you like , you can convert it to energy.

Anyone have any good suggestions for an Auto Rifle that has a slow rate of fire and is high impact? I’m kind of looking for a D1 Suros Regime replacement. I’m currently using my Call to Serve (guess I could turn this to energy) Scout Rifle as my Kinetic. This is for PvP.

@DestinyPlayers

Not sure yet. Still been switching for highest stat weapons rather than personal preference.
I did notice that when I used Call to Serve in PvP I was wrecking everyone, got some screenshots / clips I need to upload from that.

How’s Scathlocke? Can’t remember its stats nor numbers to compare against but I remember that being great in the beta in PvP.

The Halfdan-D is the one that I use and I wish I had one for each character.

Slow firing, and high damage. This weapon is more accurate when stationary and aiming down sights. I use the armour piercing rounds on it as well.

It’s a Legendary that you get from Banshee-44 Reputation

You can put it in the inventory and the others can use it.

Was a lot easier to do with the Ishtar Commander app.

Yes, but then I have to move it around every time I want to use the other characters.

Don’t I?

Life is hard sometimes. Just like my pee pee.

When the app worked on your phone it took all of 2 seconds to switch. I hope we get an updated app.
