Low-Impact Scout Rifles Review

Legendary Reviews Leave a comment

My constant quest to find guns overlooked or undervalued by the meta has led me to try a whole host of different weapon and perk combinations. That being said, I’m not sure any has ever been as fun as the pairing of low-impact scouts and Full Auto. I began to test this weapon archetype long before RNG blessed me with an optimal roll, but I never really felt the love for it until Banshee bestowed upon me one particular DIS-47. This weapon changed the way I looked at low-impact scouts as a whole, and convinced me that they could be

Counterbalance and Braced Frame make the gun a much more stable bullet-spamming machine, increasing the predictability of its recoil pattern as well as reducing overall kick. Surrounded is a sweet bonus for when you’re in a strike and need an extra boost to help you out. Overall, this is a great roll for PvP and PvE. #1 –

Advice from DeeJ on how to get involved or find a clan as Rise of Iron launches: Go to the place where you are most comfortable – this could be the Bungie forums, one of the many Destiny subreddits, forums on any number of other sites, or even the forums and LFG right here on Planet Destiny – and put yourself out there. In his words, have the courage to stand up and say, here is something that I like to do, and I would like people to do it with me. The Destiny community – DeeJ continues here and
