- I actually looked at the stats of the enemies being killed. Most of the enemies were wearing militia and standard suits, with militia and standard guns.
- Arkena was using a Gallente Logistics with 900 HP. 900 HP > 400 HP.
- Arkena had a scanner. Knowing where everyone is > not knowing anything.
- Arkena got several kills in a row with cooked Core Locus Grenades while camping a hive. I'd say that infinite OHKO grenades with a 15m diameter blast is more OP than Scrambler Rifles.
- Arkena has Wiyrkomi Nanohives that heal 70 HP/S, plus 5 HP/S innate armor repair.
Arkena would've died multiple times without such a pronounced gear advantage. A couple of times the militia opponents dropped 500+ HP. To add further insult to injury, here come the Wiyrkomi Triage Nanohives. Let's say we swapped the Imperial for a Duvolle. What would happen? Maybe they'd get a few less kills against enemies out of range. Would going 40/0 against militia noobs really be any better? If you have scan intel, twice as much health, 75 HP/S regen, infinite ammo and damage mods with a proto weapon and Gallente suit, it's pretty hard to die.
Even with a standard Heavy suit with 2 Armor Repair modules and a GLU Tac AR, which is essentially a poor man's version with slightly longer range and no hives, I can post up 30+ kills and <3 deaths against a team of mostly standard and militia. During Black Eagle week, I went something like 40 to 2 strafing back and forth on a mushroom roof in Domination mowing down enemies going to capture a terminal because I had 1200 HP with 7 HP/S repair. I died twice, but only to damage mod snipers. It took 0 effort and had I used a proto sentinel with complex repairers, plates, mods, I probably could've went 49/0, too.
Now, the Scrambler Rifle is more OP than the AR in the right hands. I'd suggest a RoF nerf down to 500 to bring the DPS down to a little over 900 when the Duvolle hits 640. There's still an advantage in damage and range plus charge shots, but it makes it a little harder to just run at people and spasm the trigger.
Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn.
