Scout rifles are always a hit-or-miss weapon archetype in Destiny 2. Some people swear by them and their long-range power while others knock them down completely, calling them useless. While this is usually the case, the community has mutually agreed that the Servant Leader scout rifle is an exception, offering fantastic perks, a good fire rate, and a surprisingly satisfying weapon design. If you are looking to use a scout rifle in PvE, Servant Leader is one of the best choices in the game.
Servant Leader is also a pretty good choice when it comes to scout rifles in PvP. With its rapid-fire frame and extremely clean aim-down sights, players that like to lane and play passively should find that Servant Leader is a surprisingly strong weapon that others will take note of after they get eliminated in four shots from across the map.
How to get Servant Leader
Servant Leader is only obtainable after completing Gambit matches, with an added drop chance after Gambit wins. While the community is pretty split with the Gambit playlist in general, but it is definitely worth finding a group and farming for this weapon. It also shares a loot pool with a few other weapons, so the weapon can be admittedly annoying to acquire, especially if you are looking for a specific roll. That said, the other weapons from the Gambit playlist, such as the Bottom Dollar, are also very good choices.
