We'll see how the other rifles compete when they're released, but with the ScR getting a range buff as well theres a high chance the ScR will remain king.
The ScRs usage has skyrocketed and is now almost as common as the vanilla AR while being EVEN better than the AR. Its an incredible feat to be sure seeing as how everyone also armor tanks. But the extremely effective hipfire, the INSANE damage output, the ease of use, the range, and the usefulness off both variants has shot the ScR straight to the top now that hit detection is decent. The ScR stacks great with dmg mods and prof, but is great even without them just like the AR. Due to it being able to instantly kill protos and heavies with ease at any range its effective(close,medium,and far) as well as having a range able to outclass ARs and most other weapons. This range is amazing as it covers the distance of many outdoors firefight hotspots that the AR falls just short of.
The ScRs effectiveness compared to the AR is still debatable, seeing as how the AR is many times more reliable without the overheat, but the assault variant of the ScR being so usable can be seen to remedy this while still maintaining extremely great damage output.
One things for sure, the ScR is competing with the AR for the top spot, and can possibly even be called better.
P.S. I've got 50k SP left til i get a skill i need, but afterwards I'm going straight ScR and prof. I already have prof 3 on ARs, as well as an alt with proto ScRs, and have used both plenty. In my personal opinion, the Imperial ScR is currently the best weapon in the game due to its range and ability to stack damage mods and prof better than the AR, while pumping out enough shots to down a tanked heavy in less than a second. |

Facts and rin game applications only please- an overheat possibility on the ScR variant does not mean balance when player skill is applied, it merely keeps the noobs away. |

Isnt that the point, to reward skill
Somewhat, but thats very similar to the FG and its sniping, sure its difficult for noobs to do but the moment they get through the learning curve and learn how to aim with it, it becomes insane. |

All weapons are affected equally by damage mods.
Same goes for proficiency. Except for the poor shotgun of course.
The AR as well as the AScR have such a high DPS that the damage mods aren't very noticeable because the weapon depends on actually connecting your bullets to the target, if you do that, damage mods or not you'll rip them apart. Compare this to a sniper rifle, mass driver, or the standard ScR variant, wherein having 26% from 3 damage mods and 15% from prof can turn your ability to kill from average to OP. |
