Exactly, which is why its the ultimate 1v1 weapon; its weakness comes in prolonged engagements and multiple opponents

I must be terrible. :(

I find that CQC with a high RoF weapon can work, or going right up and goading them into overheating.

I am also a victim of this terrible mechanic.

I still find it a problem that there isn't a single weapon 'bar shotgun/novas' that can 1v1 a SINGLE player using scramblers.

This was what got the heavy nerfed back in chromo "it takes 2-3 people to drop 1 guy? THAT's Op!"

I find it extremely annoying that even if i shoot FIRST, and hit him 3-4 bursts before he shoots 1 shot, he's already won, simply because i didn't bring a 1hko nor more HP than him.

Lol.

What do you think i do wave, ask him for a cup of tea? When you flank, get the jump, get that half second advantage and still get 1200 damage to you at 3m in a couple shots it's frustrating.

When you're flanking and trying to keep moving cover to cover and then he hits you for literally 1800 damage in an instant it's pretty frustrating.

Also, yeah I use this thing and you rarely have to reload it as it only takes like 5 rounds to kill a guy if you're not a horrible shot.

Cyrius ("Another QQ post" as you so stupidly put it!) is one of the best players of this game that I've ever seen and one of the best flankers in the game dude, watch his videos and then slowly feel the stupidity creeping up your face in the form of RED when you go back and read your words again - "start playing smart" and "Pro-Tip" hahahahaha you're funny, funny like a clown...

I'm in no way being defensive of the weapon. In fact I believe all weapons are good from the hip in CQC... Combat Rifles are AMAZING in Hip Fire CQC, Rail Rifle's are equally as amazing in the right hands, and I dont even have to say anything about the AR

I would know since I have all 4 rifles with at least prof 2

It is an Amarr made Assault RIfle, it isn't a Niche Weapon, its the standard issue rifle of the Amarr Faction and I believe that all the weapons now are equally as devastating when used correctly.

For me the ScR is like a mid range sniper rifle; when used by Caldari, Minmatar or Gallente suits you have powerful Charge shots that could critically wound an opponent but is limited by its extreme heat build up thus working like a low ROF Sniper RIfle; focusing on making every charge shot count with a generous delay between charge shots for cooldown to take place

But

With the ak.0 and its heat sink, it turns into the Dust equivalent to a modern Designated Marksman Rifle, able to fire highly accurate, damaging rounds down a very generous range, but still able to be used as a breaching tool in mid and close ranged combat.

Just like the CR is the equivalent to the modern Famas

the AR to a M4A1

and the RR to an LMG like the SAW

I'd say the ScR is a cross between a DMR and an M1 Garand :D

I honestly don't see the point of using the Full auto CR

From my experience and those of others I learned that If you get the "Tap" down with the boundless I guarantee people will be convinced that you're using a full auto weapon and not a burst fire, the 1200 RPM really rewards players with fast trigger fingers; the weapon has about 35 Damage per round which means at a 3 round burst it deals approximately 100 damage with a 120% effectiveness to armor, that is directly equivalent to the amount of damage available to ScR users bar the Charge shot.
