charging it does x3 the original damage output at the very least..... If it didn't there would be no way to one shot almost any suit in the game purely because of base stats. However I can guarantee you that anything with 300 hp or less can get one shotted by this gun.

I have proto SCR proficiency 4 and the proto amar assault suit and I can tell you that this gun is probably on the fine line of being OP. I played against OH guys in a PC match today and three of them were using PSCR's and it was nearly impossible to close distance on an objective because the first shot would take down 400 of my HP (95 shields, 300 armor roughly) and then a quick follow up volley of 5-8 shots would finnish me off because as you say "each shot does 102 base damage".

The fact that my armor tanked 850 EHP gallente logi suit was getting mowed down by these things means they probably need some looking into...... And I fricking use them in pubs all the time.

Lets look at it like this. In public matches (ambush) I run an amar standard assault suit with the standard scrambler rifle. Two complex shield extenders and one complex profile dampener and advanced scanner. I consistently go about 20-3 in this suit. This STANDARD suit. Even against pub stompers ill get at least a 3.0 k/d. I can 1v1 proto suits and win simply because the charge shot takes them down 300 hp and evens them out with me. In fact lately the only suit ive found to effectively counter my suit is commando/heavy suits running scrambler rifles also. They win simply because they get x4 the amount of armor I run.

In short, the scrambler rifle now is like how the LR used to be in chromosome. Cheap, easy to use, massive bursts of damage that can down an enemy before hes able to react, and becoming increasingly more common in pub matches.
