There's no excuse for an advanced scrambler rifle OHKOing and advanced logi suit with advanced shields and armor. Here I am, I've invested just as much SP as they have, and it makes my GEK look like a piece of trash.

Facts

• It's too accurate to be so powerful
• It's way better than all the other light weapons
• A fully charged headshot from an advanced scrambler rifle tore through 100 shields and 500 armor with one hit.

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 high rate of fire. The scrambler rifle has high damage, but its damage per second is limited by how fast you can tap with a human finger.

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.

In closing, your opinion is wrong.

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.

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.

I was shooting him in the head with my GEK, and that didn't stop him from annihilating me with his insanely powerful equivalent to a Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle that can fire ungodly yellow beams of death at you.
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

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.

"The idea being that each race will have it's base variant be Assault, (Gallente) Burst (Minmatar), Breach (Caldari) or Tactical (Amarr) and then the variants are a specific race's take on the others using their own tech. 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."

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.

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.

This

I have AR + 3 levels proficiency. Now the Tac AR is sub par to the Scrambler Rifle, I can agree there but it should be.
You have no idea how annoying the overheat is to me. Yes I monitor it but accidents will happen and when you do you are screwed. A scout unable to sprint nor take out their sidearm is as good as dead not to mention the feedback damage.

You are approaching the Scrambler from a paper perspective. Wars are not fought on paper good sir. The Scrambler rifle requires precision and vigilance, none of which are required for the AR. The Scrambler rewards those two traits while the AR rewards merely anything.

Meh, I find it annoying that the gun is better at sub machine range than its intended. Its so good in that range I agree that the gun needs a rework, higher alpha and lower rof would work. I only get killed by the thing when hip fire spammed from inside 20M. I'll let you in on a little secret that will help you out against people that use the gun just like the old tac ar though. Here's the secret, never ADS when they come at you. Strafe and burst fire whatever gun you're using, after they blow their OP spam load and if you survive gun them down. Problem is with AA your chances of surviving are slim, but this will help you win more than you would have before.

The Scrambler Rifle is an amazing weapon that really rewards players with decent aim and a tactical approach, who rather think and flank their opponents instead of push on the first line.

The inconsistent volume of fire (it's semi-automatic and it overheats quickly) makes it useless for suppression, but the charge mechanic makes it extremely powerful for position-war situations. Only Sniper Rifles are more efficient at picking isolated targets (Laser Rfiles are specifically suited for this as well, but there is not a clear winner between SCR and LR, they both works very good at their own optimal range).

This is truly one of the most lethal weapons in the right hands, but these players are a minority. These characteristics, along the high DPS, make it the potential best 1v1 mid-range killer, but quite uncomfortable in CQC and especially against multiple targets.

Verdict: A lovely weapon which works splendidly well for its intended role and rewards intelligent and skilled players, but takes a noticeable amount of time to get used to it and really leaves you exposed if you let your enemies come to you. Not Overpowered.
