Good guide, do you have any recommendations for an A/1-series (adv.) suit?

You have my old Amarr Assault Proto Fit on the AK.0 Right there, or close enough to it.

Mostly just follow the rules I set out in the fittings section - Here's one I made quickly for you:

Amarr Assault, A/1 Series

CRW-04 Scrambler Rifle
Submachine Gun
M1 Locus Grenade

Complex Light Damage Modifier
Complex Light Shield Extender

Complex Armour Plates
Complex Armour Repairer

Compact Nanohive


There are a couple of tweaks you can make depending on how you play.
If you're okay with losing a little bit of buffer, you can drop the shield extender for a second damage mod. You can also swap out the equipment for pretty much whatever. As the SCR is very ammo efficient, you can get away without carrying nanohives all the time. You will have to restock periodically but it's not a major concern.

Thank you, that is fairly close to what I already have. The chief difference is that I use a enhanced plates rather than complex. I know it defeats the basic principle of the suit but for some reason i really notice that extra 2% of speed. Besides what usually kills me in that suit are fights that a god mode cheat couldn't get me out of.

All I had to do was point and shoot, and I got 3 headshot kills by doing do. It was a dropship. I shot it down with my Scrambler Rifle. It was at full HP. CCP, just buff the Dropship, else I will continue to OHK them. >:)

In all seriousness though, great guide. Mind if I add it to part of the BSoTT Library? Of course, it will have all credit given to you and your brain.

EDIT: Also, looking at the conversation here about upgrading weapons, I'd say the SMG. I got the Six Kin and on my first time using it I managed to kill 7 people before dying. On a Scout. :)

Great guide I really appreciate this rifle.

Any suggestions on the Templar rifle and dropsuit?

Nicely written, good job.

The only thing I would add is the fact that Scramblers do reduced damage to armor, unlike ARs which seemingly take down everything equally. This drawback is very apparent with heavies, and gallente especially, but as long as you keep a good distance between yourself and the armor tanker, you should be golden.

if your fitting skills are up to scratch you can dual tank a std amarr assault for 743 ehp, 2x extenders and 1 plate with nades and compact hive, no sidearm.

+1 to op for spreading the gospel though

This is of course true, but your damage output and regeneration tends to be bad. I prefer an armour repairer over the plate on the standard fit simply because I like having armour regeneration without being tied to a triage hive or logibro.

And the scrambler rifle shines so much with damage mods I always feel the need to put at least one on my fits. That is, however, likely to be a nice newbie friendly fit capable of tanking a fair bit of damage so I may edit the OP about that.

Excellent post! Everything is covered well!

When I encounter a shotgunner I often charge a shot and wait. He needs to align the shot as much as I do, and I take two hits to go down to his weapon whereas he dies instantly to mine.

Thanks for the guide anyways. It's well written and everything important is well covered.

Thank you.
I still have yet to meet you on the battlefield.

Hrm.
I tend to charge shots when I know there's a shotgunner waiting around a corner - but do you mean that you charge shots whilst the shotgunner is actually firing at you?
Personally, I'd hate to do that. What happens if you miss the shot?

It's funny - I started using the assault scramber, but most of this guide is almost like it's about another weapon entirely!

I've seen folks use the alpha very effectively. But using a controller, I never feel confident I'll hit.

It is about another weapon entirely tbqh. The semi-automatic is very, very different from the assault variant.

I actually use a controller. I guess it's because I've always really played FPS on consoles. Would you be more confident with a mouse?

Dust is my first console FPS and it took a massive learning curve to getting used to the SCR. Even with the aim assist this is not easy at all for someone who thinks sticks are a horrible interface for aiming.

Basic use of the scrambler rifle

As an accurate weapon dealing high damage per shot with a mechanic that limits how much you can shoot, you need to control your firing. A scrambler rifle without any special bonuses will allow you 15 shots rapid-fire before overheating.
