Specifically, I think, for scout rifles. When I use a Scout rifle, in general, I sacrifice a lot in the mid-to-short range game. A fusion rifle leaves my short game exposed to shotguns without a counter, since scouts only really excel at long range; but using a shotty leaves me exposed to fusion rifles, which the scout can't out-aim or kill fast enough against at mid-range. The vestian is a middle ground; it can't necessarily beat either FR's or shotty's at their ideal range, but it can certainly come close to both. The subreddit is a big fan of the MIDA-Vestian combo, and I can see why: in terms of the variety of ranges, they cover nearly all lengths of engagement.
