Me: "But, you alpha 89% of my HP with one shot"

Yes they do. They wtf spawned shields but I always struggle with amour tanks

That's what you get for shield tanking


and as a side note, i usually fire 1 charge shot immediately followed by 2-5 shots after to make sure i get the kill

or atleast make them run away

Ill bite.

The fact that it takes a headshot to alpha 89% of your HP completely disarms your argument.

Or he might be running a Militia fit :p

Actually, I either run a Standard Basic Heavy with 2 Repair or A standard MinLogi with Plate/Repair combo and 2 Basic Shield Extenders, 3 Equipment, Gek. I have Shield and Armor Upgrades at 5.

guess i wasnt far off...

Thats not a really sturdy fit considering most of us run either 2 or 3 damage mods, heavies like that don't have enough EHP to stop headshots from swatting it like an andvanced scout, it wouldnt be much diffrent if you meet a Duvolle with 3 damage mods either.

do these things really do less damage to armor?

was wondering if anyone tested it?

I have 700 armor, and these things cut through it like it didn't have anything, theirs no AR i'm really worried about facing, but scrambler rifles just out dps me every time, so trying to pin-point why so i can deal with it later.

Standard SCR's will eat up that little HP that you have if you run standard fits. Most users run either an ADV or Proto SCR, so OF COURSE you wil die in the blink of an eye. With a fit like that, you don't stand a chance against a good SCR user.

Smh. Flawed logic based on your obvious preferences and/or shortcomings is still flawed.

It's actually quite a bit different. One shot from a Duvolle does not drain 89% of my HP. Actually I regularly take out Proto AR guys with that fit. I have much more trouble with the Scr Rifle users. My MinLogi handles them a little better due to the far superior mobility. I have more of a problem with Proto ARs in that fit than my Heavy.

Well you sound like an able guy, surely you wont have any problems to HTFU in the face of a newly discovered threat?

*stomps MLT n00bs with stacked proto squads

*tells players to HTFU

I guess that means get into a n00bstomping que synced proto party corp?

Meh, Happened to me in my Adv. Heavy with 2 comp. Plates too. This is the reason I started using only standard gear.

You can blame my Suits all you want, fact remains you , me and everyone else knows the Scr Rifles are overpowered, it's why everyone is speccing into them. I see them more than Duvolles now and that's saying something.

Yeah HMG spray & pray vs AR Spray & Pray, i can see why you come out ahead there ...most people forget to keep tracking their opponents at all times when firing the AR, most SCR users don't.

Though sounds like both fits fair better though vs diffrent opponents, maybe thats the point ?

Are you talking about SCRs or ASCRs? I will assume SCRs

So what is your total EHP of the suits you are running? Im sorry but saying that you are using two basic shield extenders leads me to believe that its quite low and would get torn to pieces by any weapon. You would have to give me hard data on any of this before I actually believed you.

You would be complaining about TACs as well if the ROF wasnt gimped with a half-azzed mechanic. Compared to the TAC of old, the SCR is a nerf gun. I have prof 4 and always run a damage mod with mine and it still takes me at least one cool down cycle to take out a half decent heavy fit.. If you havent booked it out of there before the weapon cools down or I have switched to my SMG then the death is completely on you.

You act like the overheat feature is the only thing that is a blancing agent for the SCR
- Requires actual aim rather than spamming the fire button
- Has one of the highest fitting costs even as the basic level
- Is biased toward shields
- Annnnnd overheats

Rei nailed it. Good SCR users will hit you hard first, then methodically pick you apart if you have no cover to run to. Being a heavy, if you are at a distance, you are dead. Period.

And btw....I still see way more AR's still running around and that will never change tbh. SCR is not currently FOTM, as you so lovingly put it. I'm a day 1 user as well and I play enough to know that what you say is simply not true. You just sound upset that there is an emergence of use of the gun and that it has taken you out a few times. Still takes skill to use effectively.

EHP on Standard Heavy with 2 Repairers is 1012 506 shield 506 armor

What you call an "emergenc of use of the gun" I call a flock toward.

It's no secret that most of the "top" corps are flocking to the Scr Rifles. Deny it all you want to, it doesn't make it any less true.

Pff I run 700 on my meatshield logi

There is a concept called "skill ceiling". The skill ceiling on the SCR is higher than on the AR. Go figure.

You call it "skill ceiling" I call it "players flocking to OP weapons"

Surely DUST players would never do such a thing!
