Destiny 2 Scout Rifles are in quite a weird place. Sometimes they are good in both PvE and PvP and vice versa. The problem with scout rifles is the hand cannons, which can do equally the same amount of damage as compared to the Scout rifles. And the benefit of hand canon is that they can be drawn and stowed quite fast. But there are a few scout rifles in the game that are used quite often in the game.
So, if you are looking for the best scout rifles in Destiny 2, then check the list provided below. Another reason to have a good scout rifle is that in season 16 i.e. Season of The Risen, we are getting the all-time favorite Anti-Barrier Scout Rifle Champion Mods.

Get this as soon as possible as this will become your go-to scout in the game.
Hung Jury SR4
The Hung Jury SR4 is probably the fan-favorite when it comes to kinetic scouts as it has the ability to roll with Rapid Hit/Subsistence and Explosive Payload/Firefly. This is a 180 RPM Kinetic scout and it is the only kinetic scout that can roll with Firefly. The Hung Jury also has an Adept Version which basically has better stats than the regular one and you can use Adept Mods on this too. The regular one can be farmed from regular variants of Nightfalls and the Adept version can be farmed from GM nightfalls.
Vision Of Confluence
This weapon is a that can only be contained from the Vault Of Glass Raid and this one come with quite a lot of great perks such as Surplus/Rewind Rounds and Firefly/Frenzy. It is a 180 RPM Solar scout and also has an Adept version also known as Timelost that can only be obtained from the Master Version of the raid.
Trustee
Trustee is a 260 RPM Solar Scout rifle that can only be obtained from the Deep Stone Crypt Raid and it can come with Reconstruction and Recombination for PvE and Killing Wind/Under Pressure and Eye Of The Storm for PvP. This weapon shines the most in PvP and is a beast of a weapon as it can fire full-auto.
Contingency Plan
The Contingency Plan made quite a stir in the Destiny 2 community when it was introduced in the game. This is a 260 RPM Arc Scout that can roll with Outlaw/Surplus and Frenzy/Kill Clip. The contingency plan wasn’t built for PvE but PvP is where it truly shines as it has the ability to fire full-auto. The weapon has optimal inside the Crucible and seems like a dream for the players.
So, there you have it. These are some of the best scout rifles in Destiny 2 and we hope that this has been of help to you.
Happy Hunting Guardians!
