Here is why you are wrong:
Damage isn't everything, weapons with lower damage like the AR can also gain very high damage per second because of their rate of fire.
In the time it takes to charge, an AR could have dealt enough damage to kill you anyway. Charge shots pretty much putting all your shots in one basket; if you miss, then the time you took to change was a waste of time, and that wasted time can make the difference between life or death.
It also cost way more PG/CPU then other similar weapons.
The Scrambler rifle also overheats after ONLY about 15 quickly fired shots, and you can't run or switch weapons until it cools down. |

It's basically like the Golden Gun of Dust.
As a scout, you really shouldn't fear anything that's not a Tactical Assault Rifle from long distance.
Which brings up another scrambler rifle issue: the range.
And switching to a sidearm if you've fired the scrambler too rapidly shouldn't be that hard.
Look guys
The only other advanced weapons that can OHKO you like that are Forge, Plasma cannon, and Sniper. And they all have a balance between power and drawbacks.
Scrambler rifles remind me of the time I used Action Replay codes on Metroid Prime Hunters DS, and made it so I could hold down the button and fire infinite sniper rifle bullets.
Funny you should bring up the tactical AR in your rampage of wrong. I posted this in a different thread, but its kind of relavent.

So, you'd get an Assault Rail Rifle that attempts to somewhat mimic the behavior of the Gallente Assault Rifle and a Tactical Assault Rifle that attempts to mimic the Amarr Scrambler Rifle and so on." https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=870299#post870299 from CCP Remnant. Confirms the tactical AR is basically a Gallente scrambler rifle. Now consider this: Scramblers are lasers. Lasers have the 2nd highest range, 2nd to only railguns. ARs are blasters (including the tactical AR). Blasters are the lowest range weapons. Given all this info, you would expect the scrambler rifle to have longer range than the tac AR, but somehow its the opposite.
Tactical AR has more range despite being a mimic of the scrambler rifle using shorter range weapon, and you're complaining it it has too much range? LOL
And where are you getting this notion that counts shouldn't fear anything but a tactical AR from range? last I checked, that was not in the scout suit description.
The scrambler rifle DOES have drawbacks, like I already explained to you last post. The quick overheating after firing only 15 quick shots (and like 5 shots if you did a charge shot); this means you have to be VERY precise with your shots. It also has very high PG/CPU costs.
You CANNOT switch to a sidearm if you overheat. You also cannot run. You can only jump and walk until it cools down.
The scrambler rifle is not "ungodly", Amarr technology is "godly"; they are a God-obsessed theocratic society.
I'm pretty sure your "infinite sniper rifle bullets" wasn' cut short by overheating after 15 shots. |

List a few more Shotgun, Scrambler Pistol, and Nova Knives I feel bad for you if you've been OHKOed by a scrambler pistol, bro. Then perhaps we've never met. Also, try using the SR if you think its so OP. Go ahead and see how well you do. better yet, take me on and see how that turns out.
I want to watch, record it if he says yes. |

To the OP, I think I may have been way too harsh; I don't know if I really was, but feels like I was since I typed with anger. I'm sorry.
You're still wrong though, and my points still stand. |
