Until I realized that the SCR is far more effective, because I forced myself to learn how to use the weapon and became good with it.

Agreed, its much better scout sniper weapon than the tactical SR is. Truly acts like a carbine I normally run with on other games. When jittered right you can mow down quite a few folks without overheating and keeping the pressure on the targets. Its just that running into a gal medium suit is most noticable but their fielding is few and far between. |

A side note that's partially related to the SCR - I find it rather amusing how the nerf brigade is bitching so much about the Gallente assault rifle when the Amarr assault rifle is almost the same but for a marginally larger amount of dispersion for a slight increase in range. |

Well I guess the aim assist helps a lot now with easier tracking and such. The semi auto scrambler is good, I can say better than the TAR, even with its crazy heat build up. But when talking about the assault variant, the AR is better in every way.

Nope. In the hands of noob, perhaps. Because the AR takes less of a learning curve. But in the hands of a good player, the SCR will out preform every time. No regular AR in the game can preform a one-hit-kill.
The SCR kills much faster. It's more accurate. It has the potential to kill any enemy (MLT, STD, ADV, PRO - Light, Medium, Logi, etc.) faster than the AR, especially with the charged shot. It has the suppression power of an MD, and the killing power of a AR.
A real life example is the M16 and AK-47. Anyone (including a child) can use the AK-47, it's a simple point and spray weapon. But only a trained solider can use the M16 and be BY FAR more effective, because the gun in more technology put into it. The trained solider will be better with the M16,. than the AK-47 time-after-time.
inb4 I ge accused of flip-flopping on the issue of SCRs (which I did). I've been good with the SCR since day1 of using it, now I took the time to skill into it and practice with it, and it's very very very effective against infantry |

Wow. That WHY thread you posted earlier was dumb, but this statement is in another class altogether.
The only relevant difference between those two guns is the AK-47 is a hardier weapon that doesn't jam nearly as often, but pays for that with lower accuracy due to its parts being machined more loosely. The M16 is the opposite. More technology, lmao!

The nice thing about DUST is that if the SCR ever becomes the FOTM, running an armor fit is a good counter. We're close to reaching the point of balance where most weapons are good at some things, but no weapon is good at all things. I think the AR is a little too good at too many ranges, and I'm hoping we see it's effective range narrowed when CCP introduces the combat rifle and precision rifle to fill in the gaps. At that point, the game will have a very healthy foundation to build on. |

So why doesn't the world's top military use the AK-47, especially these days? I was talking about the finer point of what makes it lethal, because it pertains to the discussion. Why do all of my posts seem to miss you, and go over your head, but nobody else's? I have a knack of breaking things down to simple points, and discussion. And, I use outside analogies a lot (like the M16 & AK-47 one you just read) to make things even more easy to understand... yet you miss even the most simplistic messages I type on here. Either your are ignorant, or just looking to b*tch specifically at me, in which I'm flattered... you're probably one of the countless people who circle and hump me in the war barge before every game, aren't you
Oh, and the M16 will jam up about 20-25x less than the AK-47 (because you were no doubt referencing knowledge from the 1970s...) |

The ScR is far inferior due to overheat, lower DPS, and actual dispersion. Furthermore with the resurgence of armor the 120% shield bonus is as much a blessing as a hindrance, and even after all that the TAR still has better zoom, better damage per shot, and better range. The only thing the ScR has is the notoriously buggy charge shot. |

You know what, you have inspired me, and for that you get a +1.
I have 1.6m SP burning a hole through my virtual pocket and have been trying to figure out what weapon I want to invest in. As a calogi I need a main weapon that can cover a wide variety of gameplay elements, including CQC since I have no sidearm to use. All other weapons were out the window in this regard, except the AR. But the ScR and AScR are both similarly capable, and I am going to give it a try.
When I log in tonight, I am going full blown proto ScR and AScR, to hell with my KDR and to hell with the 140m ISK I have. I am going to force myself to get good with the ScR, and likely will die (a lot) while trying.
I am just so sick and tired of using the AR, and even if I know I will suck with the ScR, I am going to do it anyway because I might actually have some fun while doing it. |

the only downside of the scrambler rifle is this eye pain u get from the muzzle flash...another reason to stick with the ar...
if the scrambler rifles muzzle flash was toned down enough not to make the eyes hurt id be using it almost every match.. |

But compared to the Semi-auto Scrambler Rifle, it takes up less PG/CPU, which is why I typically see more Carthum Assault Scrambler Rifles than Imperial Scrambler Rifles. I don't understand why, considering the Imperial deals so much more damage at the same ROF. Really the only drawback is that it overheats. |

Probably because the AK-47 is 66 years old and has gone through many many versions and upgrades through the decades and comparing it to the modern version of another weapon is skewing anything meaningful to support your own point with some fluff and flash which ironically weakens your credibility rather than bolstering it

You'll want to have a suit that can carry a sidearm. The 80% damage to armor makes the Scrambler Rifle weak compared to the AR. You'll notice many guys surviving your shots by running over a corner. It gets annoying. Everytime I drop shields with the gun I take out my trusty Flaylock. This is for the assault variant. For the semi auto I don't think you'll notice a difference in armor damage since it has high base damage, but I wouldn't use that without the Amarr Assault suit.

Hi, you're talking to someone who straight out believes that the M16 is too complex for children to operate, while the AK-47 isn't.
OP, how old are you? I'm guessing from your 'why doesn't the world's top military use the AK-47' line, younger than 16? Just want to know. For science.

The ScR is better than the TAC AR only if you got all the skills to match it(prof 5, amarr assault proto, 3 complex damage mods) and the AScR just doesn't perform as well as the AR because of the increased dispersion drastically lowering the average DPS you can consistently put out in battles, the increased effective range is also extremely hard to notice from the scramblers.
Also, the TAC AR beats the ScR in close range because you can spam bullets(which miss at close range alot for both of these weapons).
Altogether I'd say both weapons main variants do the job best, the duvolle beats the imperial because its far more reliable and versatile, but the imperial definitely does its niche of medium long range engagements far better. The imperial is a monster with the amarr assault+prof5+3dmg mods, but such a serious SP investment prevents it from ever becoming FOTM.

Felt the need to bump this thread.
As I said I would, I speced into proto ScR and AScR. And I have to say, this weapon is beyond fun!
I did relatively crappy the first few matches, but once I got the hang of it, the ScR is freaking awesome! Being able to absolutely screw somebody up with a well placed charge shot, or just spamming the weapon semi-auto is brutal. This weapon is AMAZING!
Even if a player is tanked (shield or armor), and I land a charge shot, I can finish them off with a few semi-auto shots before they even realize WTF hit them. I was able to nearly 2-hit a heavy with 2 charged shots (and I finished him off with what I had left without overheating). Even with a militia heavy, that is at least 700+ HP
The overheat is pretty crazy since I am not an Amarr assault, but it's still manageable. If I don't charge a shot then I can semi-auto many rounds before OH. If I shoot a charged shot then I am pretty much screwed in CQC if I miss.
I have been AR user for over a year now in this game, and the ScR is a real nice, and much needed, refresher.
I'm already pulling 10+ KDR games with it, and topping the match leaderboards.
Having the power of a sniper and being able to cope with CQC, is pure win. Versatile weapons FTW!!! |

I never really understood that as well. Maybe because hating the GAR is the new FOTM |

Was never the FotM, just people don't know how to use other weapons effectively. Dumb asses trying to snipe with shot guns and CQC with Laser Rifles.

Oh the weapon itself not but hating the weapon is quite common around these days...a lot more than usual at least thats my impression |

No, the assault scr is pretty good...
the hip fire damage is > than the AR hip fire...;)

I use the Imperial SCR at all ranges equally well and on occasions have gone trough 4-5 proto suits in a row at cqc ranges before overheating, but ive been using it since day one (bar a months break), the trick is in not hipfiring in cqc but ADS aiming and knowing when to transition to ads and back again during the fight.
I normally use a sniper in cqc in APB Reloaded, so for me this is almost the same gun, except i cant jump snipe with this effectivly ...yet :)

No, that's what I'm saying - it's always been the subject of hate for a while now. The Breach Assault rifle got nerfed into oblivion, the Tactical soon after that (until it made a come back for three freaggin weeks at the beginning of Uprising).
The vanilla Assault Rifle has been subject to all kinds of hell, most notably because back in the day you could get Sharpshooter Proficiency and do full damage at 120 meters, but it was "kinda" balanced because there wasn't any aim assist and you only ever had to worry about the hard core skilled players who can aim without aim assistance.
Suffice to say, people will ***** about whatever kills them and when you don't know what you're doing (running out in the open, not using cover, not being in a team, not understanding the weapon you're using) all of a sudden everything seems over powered because there's no possible way that you could do anything wrong - there's no possible way that someone took advantage of your stupidity.
Hence why when Aim Assist came in 1.4 and the game stopped being "who can circle strafe the fastest to counter terrible aim" half of this community didn't have the skills they needed to react and compensate.
Thusly, AR hatred amplified. Now, CCP will nerf it - and Aim Assist - to the point that we have Team Fortress 514 where the we all have different class names.
Heavy = HMG Medic = SMG Scout = Shotgun Soldier = Plasma Cannon Commando = Forge Gun (it'll make sense when they nerf everything)

THEAMAZING POTHEAD wrote:The ScR is better than the TAC AR only if you got all the skills to match it(prof 5, amarr assault proto, 3 complex damage mods) and the AScR just doesn't perform as well as the AR because of the increased dispersion drastically lowering the average DPS you can consistently put out in battles, the increased effective range is also extremely hard to notice from the scramblers.
Also, the TAC AR beats the ScR in close range because you can spam bullets(which miss at close range alot for both of these weapons).
Altogether I'd say both weapons main variants do the job best, the duvolle beats the imperial because its far more reliable and versatile, but the imperial definitely does its niche of medium long range engagements far better. The imperial is a monster with the amarr assault+prof5+3dmg mods, but such a serious SP investment prevents it from ever becoming FOTM.
This is a prime example of a scrub player who depends on the highest equipment and SP usage to do well in a game. Just had to point that out. |

The biggest thing with the ScR is learning that ir fires on trigger release as opposed to trigger push. As a Metroid veteran, that came easily to me :3 Still a very good and fun gun, just not what you want to take to an Amarr or Gallente brainpan. |

SCR is the best anti-infantry Light Weapon in the game. You just have to know what you are doing
It really can, It deals even more damage to armor than the PR even though it has a 20%/30%(?) reduction. |
