Scout rifles...useless?

I noticed that the scout rifle seems to do pretty much exactly the same damage as the auto rifle, per shot, in th same level range. To me, this seems like it completely eliminates the point of having a single shot, low mag size rifle. The scout rifle should be doing more damage than an auto, because of the fact it has a smaller mag and way slower ROF. In the current game, scout rifles are junk. Just a small buff to their damage would make them a much more viable weapon, and give a reason to choose one over an auto rifle. Please buff them. Just a little.

  • They definitely do not do the same damage as an auto rifle. I think your confusion is coming from the menu screen. You could have an auto rifle and scout rifle that each are at say, 100 damage. But the auto rifle only does 65 critical damage while the scout rifle does 150 critical damage on the same enemy. Bungie put in the 100 damage in the menu screen so you can quickly gauge the damage difference between two different weapon types.
