Scout Rifles appear to have been nerfed. (Destiny)

Interesting. In the Crucible, we were noticing that The Jade Rabbit could now kill in 3 headshots (with no body shoot boosting) where it would have taken four shots before.

If I remember correctly, Bungie mentioned in a recent update that they were tweaking some (all?) Primary weapons so that body shots were slightly weaker, but crit hits would be stronger than before. Looking at the breakdown from that Reddit post, that holds true for one of the Scout Rifles that were tested, while all the rest were nerfed across the board. It’s certainly possible that there are several Scout Rifles that now do more crit damage than before. So Jade Rabbit could theoretically be one of them.
