Am I the only one who prefers to use Mass Drivers over Scrambler Rifles? (Including the Assault variant)
They are gods in CQC in comparison (unless you use the Freedom, then it's a magic suicide button)
They don't have overheat, and the "feedback damage with SCRs immobilize you
They have higher CPU/PG requirements
The MD has splash damage
3 Rounds from the Freedom can KO almost anything
The Breach MD variant can 2HKO LAVs
The Freedom MD can me used to take out MLT Tanks (in-case you ran out of Lai Dais)
They are superior against armor, and who uses shields over armor?
If someone does use shields over armor then you can use a flux grenade, and no grenade destroys armor (except for Cores)
MDs are user friendly
MDs can be used as a crowd control, area denial weapon. SCRs can only pew pew pew and aren't effective in large swarms of enemies
It's funny killing scouts with MDs
Oh yeah, it's the anti scout weapon of the century (or millennium in New Eden's case)
I may be wrong, and SCRs could be god weapons, but I just wanted to see what other people thought. |

If we were talking about CQC, then I might agree with you, but everything is situation.
MDs have travel time, allowing the enemies to strafe and jump away from the blast
MDs rounds arc so it can be hard to aim if your not in CQC
MD users without skill can easily start pressing a magic suicide button
I call BS on the "finesse" part, unless you are going for OHKO headshots, but that's what my KLO-5 is for  Have you gone up against a vanilla MD? (No proficiency or dmg mods) They use 6 hits to take out a starter fit!
Ammo is scarce with a total of 18 rounds per clip. And the ammo skill only gives you one extra round. Forcing you to either run K-2 nanohives, or be every good with aiming.
You have to either suck or try really hard to kill yourself with a SCR. MDs the other hand are very easy to commit suicide.
Where the "big boys and girls are", PC, You can rack up tons of team kills if you aren't careful.
Oh yeah,You can die multipule times if blueberries jump in your way while your firing. (which happens all the time)

Well I kinda am. I actually tried SCRs a few weeks ago when my CEO suggested that I use SCRs. I had way to much SP for my own good (and still do) so I decided to try them out for a bit. The charge shots are quite funny, and the headshots, they are just beautiful.
But with proficiency lvl 5 and a complex dmg mod with me, I can OHKO people already... With splash! I just find MD kills more entertaining than a SCR charge shot kill

Unless you get on elevated ground, you are pretty much screwed.
