Similar story with scout rifles (Destiny)

For scout rifles though... they're making them worse short range, where they already struggle. They're in many cases about on par with using a sniper already at very close range, other than maybe fang of ir yut, which is the only scout I know of that works okay at close range. They are practically useless from the hip already, and that's only going to get worse. It's possible that they are not awful from the hip long range, but I've certainly never used them that way, so maybe I'm missing out on something fun. =)

I think what you're missing here is that scout rifles are supposed to be bad up close.
