The breach requires you to be patient, AA helps, but don't rely entirely on it. Aim up a bit and help 'ease' the crosshairs over the ememy. Also note that you will never need to ADS with this one. I run it as a main because it has higher maxium damage over it's ammo.
Standard/assault are pretty good as backups, though they're a little low on ammo to be main weapons. Recommend using as either locuses and spamming scram till shoelds down, then bait with nades.
Burst is a little odd, the Car9 has amazing potential DpS. Higher Rof than an Ar, but it is NECESSARY to ads at all times. Plus you only get 2-3 clips of backup, so nanohives are a necessity to even consider using this.
Tactical is a very wonderful scrambler, having better zoom and range. However it has 5 base shots, which at lv4 gives 9 base ammo...
Overall pretty good weapons.

The real reason you would use an assault over a standard is not for the marginally increased rate of fire but the increased ammo capacity.

Also I disagree with the "never ADS" thing. Yes most the time you should hip fire it, but I find there is this perfect distance you can find where ADS makes it very easy to land headshots.

jlpgaming2752 the unholy legion of darkstar DARKSTAR ARMY 5	Posted - 2013.10.25 17:46:00 - [1] - Quote I just have the basic pistol, but I'm wanting to get level 4 in it. My question is that although it's great for headshots, is the Scrambler Pistol that good at body shots? I usually don't want to miss my target, so I just aim for the body. I figure with more bullets in a clip, I can do better than a SMG can.

Use an assault variant and just go for center mass, if you get a headshot so be it, but with the auto aim the thing does mad damage at an insane rate.

Aim assist............ Don't listen to this guy. Turn aim assist off, aim at the head, get good, and have fun insta killing everyone. Also I recommend the Tactical version. It's a salvage item, so treat it like an officer weapon. It has lots of zoom so you can be safe while headshotting people with it.

Sorry I must have butt hurt you sometime ago. Facts are facts. You told him to not listen to two people already in this thread yet you expect him to take the advice of a no name scrub who doesn't know the first thing about top tier play.

Scrambler Pistol > Nova Knives for one simple reason: Range.

Headshots are beautiful though. Most people go down in 2-3.

Scrambler Pistol > Nova Knives for one simple reason: Range. I carry both. Reason Killing people quietly with Nova Knife works better in most cases, by the time the third guy is knifed at the objective somebody notices. Pistol works for this situation, first shot is at the head, if I miss then it's all centre of mass while remaining mobile. This seems effective for my play style.

Really, you go for head shots to conserve ammo, but body shots work just as well provided you have ammo. Of course, I also have Ops 5 and Prof 3, so I'm firing 11 times before reloading and doing 9% extra damage.

Besides, at a certain range, body shots become useless, although headshots still function astoundingly well even at 30% efficiency. If you din't have the confidence thar you can land headshots while that AR guy still has 80% efficiency, then you should run away and re-engage on more favorable terms.

I only don't ADS when the opponent gets the drop on me. I only aim for the head unless they are really close and I can't get a clear shot.

In all,if there is absolutely nothing positive to say about Dust,I have to say that this game has the best pistols of any shooter that I've ever played.

Wondered why I got first, you got second, and Aero got fifth. But are you using the Tactical version? It saves my life on my dragonfly scout (only scout suit I have).

I immediately skilled into level 4 scrambler pistols the moment I got a respec (both times).
