I use scout rifle in PvE just fine but PvP I can't seem to use it. I had to switch to my auto rifle to start getting a bit better in PvP. I dont know how to use scout rifle effectively in crucible

That sounds really cool. Hopefully that should cause splash damage too!

My point was, It is not as good as Titans and Warlock's super comparatively.
I cant activate it during a fight, I get shot down when an enemy watches me activating most of the time.
If I activate it without any enemy in sight, I end up wasting it mostly.
Maybe this one is just me, but I have not even used all three shots on 3 different people yet. So that not really guaranteed multiple kills unlike Titan or Warlock's super if they activate it in the capture zone full of enemies..
Also, tons of people attributed their failures in PvP with equipment instead of the obvious.
Lag.

A big difference for me is that the Titan/Warlocks super can be used in a scenario when shit hits the fan and you are about to die. Hunter super needs to be sure he won't die otherwise it's a waste, and if you don't spot 3 players in the time you won't get the 3 shots.

That's what I'm hoping for.
But as soon as the real game goes out. It's all Bladedancer class for me. It just looks insane.

Exactly... I think people think too much of the AoE supers... You're more likely to get three kills as a hunter than three kills as a warlock with one super. Plus the range on the golden gun more than makes up for it not being AoE. But the thing about you losing your super if don't even get one shot off kinda does suck.
Yeah fair point. The Hunters super requires more 'skill' to use without a better benefit because of that, whereas the Titan and Warlock aim it into an area with a mass amount of people and are guaranteed a kill, if not multi-kills.
My Sahara:
I don't really use it because the recoil is too much for me.
Can anyone explain to me why this Sahara is higher than my 55 and they are the same name and gun?

What does "Impact" do for weapons?
Does it slow people down or something?
That is just how the game is. I THINK it might depend on what level you are when you find it. Because I found a same gun I had before, but at a later level, and it had a higher attack.

That's disappointing. So much for playing with my poor friends who didn't upgrade to the new gen. :'(

Try to run less and begin engagements at a distance farther than you've done so far. Aim for the head. In 2 shots you strip their shields and being them to ~50% life; the enemy usually freaks out at this point and can be more prone to make mistakes.

That's what I'm getting at. I love getting kills with the Golden Gun. It feels good. I know how to use it. But I can't help feel a little jealous when I see the other two getting 5 kills at once. :/

Trax is the superior scout rifle.
I've got to say, I'm really excited about the loot in the full game. People have said they're disappointing but it's only because they've really restricted it for the beta. I've stated before I like how they have their own individual skill trees for upgrades, but I also think the effects have a very significant impact on the weapon. I accidentally dismantled a green pulse rifle that had the upgrade ability of allowing it to be full auto instead of semi. I'm really curious as to how it would've played out, and I can only imagine stuff like that getting exponentially crazier on blue and purple loot.
I wonder if they'll have even higher tiers of loot (yellow/orange)?

I mean, yeah - its nice and all but people are already seeing that Warlocks turn into space clowns if you simply double jump to the left or right once their animation starts up.
And people are realizing that huddling up in groups of 5 to capture a zone isn't worth giving someone a free multikill too.
Not true. Impact is the stagger effect dealt.

Titan/Warlock confirmed no-skillz required.
Yeah and the look cool doing it as well
Oh well, at least we have cloaks right, RIGHT?

Golden Gun is great. You guys need to stop comparing its usage to the other supers so much. You can't use them in the exact same scenarios, but that doesn't mean its any worse than the others.

Because it rhymes with Dax?
Valka is the gun to beat I think for the Beta

If there are 5 people huddled together inside a capture zone like idiots they deserve to get space magic'd and meet their maker.

From what I can remember, it offers better stability (which makes for better hip firing) and...there was one other attribute I really liked but can't remember it.
But that too.
It always kills me when I see like 3 or 4 on one capture point. Especially from the get go. Like 2 can stay back and 3 can move to the B flag to begin the lockdown.
Hmm, does it cause splash damage?

The only time you should huddle together is when your dancing together. <3
Angry Magic makes the Nova Bomb track enemies, so no, that won't save you.
Yeah. I got 5 total between 3 kills once but I have no idea what happened to cause that. Maybe they were headshots. /shrug

The Golden Gun is quite useful to counter snipe the assholes that camp on the edges of First Light instead of actually, you know, taking bases.
It can smell your fear haha
I'd be happy with that.
That's the main thing I love about the golden gun, it's range.
I think once we are able to play some other gametypes, the Hunter's golden gun will start to compare a bit more favorably to the other two. Since we can only play control at the moment, the Titan and Warlock abilities are so much more lethal due to the fact that in this gametype you'll have numerous chances to find many players grouped together.
In a slayer/deathmatch style gametype where there is a lower chance of people grouping in one area, it may become very difficult to get more than just a single kill with your abiliity, if you are a Warlock or a Titan. However, the golden gun should still perform well in those particular situations, due to its ability to kill over larger distances, and in more than one area.

Hell yea, same deal. I'm actually using this guy right now, It's lower impact but the higher fire rate with a good level of stability (compared to auto rifles) works great.
No. You don't even see them.

Not without the excision upgrade but I think I killed an elite knight or something.
