It's called balance. Without the harsh overheat, the scrambler rifle would be OP.

Although maxing out your scrambler rifle skill and wearing an Amarr assault suit helps prevent overheating.

But does 2 charges in a row cause a blow up? If that's the case, the thing should eventually blow in my face if I hold the first charge to long

Really? because you should be able to manage the heat build up to where you can fire one ever couple of seconds.

Uh, nope. If Im facing a heavy, I charge, I shoot. I recharge, and when I shoot again I get a blow up, and my shot goes through him like he's a ghost. This isn't fluke occurrence either, its been this way since I started SCR-ing

Congratulations, your the first person in all of New Eden to struggle with a scrambler Rifle, I would give you bacon but bacon is for winners, so heres a cookie to go with your girl scout uniform, if you got an issue with your reward, heres a tissue.

Can you do better with a plasma cannon ?

It is as useless as the charged scramblers.

I know where the big bad scrambler rifle touched you.....

More to the point is where I touched it, if it was a female I would make love to it. If it was a man...I'd turn gay

This accurately describes my feelings for the ScR.

Here's an idea.
Stop doing that.

Seriously, you have to give the gun time to cool down, and if you're not dropping them after 1 charge and a couple of normal shots then you're doing something wrong. Unless it's a heavy or a massively tanked medium. Hell, the thing even cools down while you have a shot waiting to be fired.

2 charged shots will kill any dropsuit, that is why. You can get the most dps out of it by going 1 charge shot, follow up volley, switch to and use your sidearm then switch back after the clip is gone. Really the charge shot/volley should be more than enogh unless you're against a group.

Heavies and Tanked Gallentes will not go down in one volley. They take 3 charged shots. Which for me is very difficult because I have to wait for the cool down between each shot.

Do you use Damage mods?

Get another one, it makes a world of diffrence when gunning down a heavy but you should limit yourself to max 1 charged and then pelt him to death with rapid fire.

Uh, one volley is about 1000HP (if every shot lands... which usually a it will on a Heavy Frame) still not enough to kill a heavy without having to switch to a sidearm. I find it easier to just duck in and out of cover and score Charged Shots, especially if I'm to the 700-800 Armor layer, or facing a Brick Gallente
