If it's too hard to find in the sheet, the TL;DR is that base mag gives you the most reserves.

Yeah, they have the same annoying thing as sidearms, though to a lesser extent, where firing them at max RPM permanently blocks your reticle with the recoil. Great on paper, but just annoying in practice.

From my napkin math of the footage, Lodestar fires baseline at 540 RPM, and does about 680 DPS, in line with exotic autos. The alt-mode at full auto would be about a 66% increase in DPS. So, pretty nice depending on the uptime of the alt-mode buff.

They still sort of care. HCs dominance is balanced by the fact they have steeper falloff than all other guns. flooring at 33% damage, instead of 50% like others. Apart from that, the AA zoom kind of balances itself, since it's harder to hit headshots with scouts close up.

The auto buff gives them a fun trade-off with pulses. Autos are slightly better against elites, while pulses favour minors.

Scouts still lag far behind all other archetypes on elites, which is fair since they have infinite range. It'd be nice if bows got their elite damage brought up a bit though.
