lol. ScR is amazing at all levels :) get yourself an Assault ak.0 and then talk to me :) works like a charm even with my BPOs.

Shhhhh! Edit the "it's OP" part! The focus is on the NEW rifles now!

Sheesh!

My ScR can't catch a break!

Run it was at least prof. 3 and stack three damage mods on it. It literally is able to drop several before overheating. I was running it earlier for ***** and giggles (I hate using protogear, but I wanted to make sure my taboo setup was still fully functional (which it extremely is), so there's that).

Using a Duvolle is mercy compared to the Imperial.

<---- Proto Ak.0, Proto Viziam SCR, 3 complex damage mods with Proficiency V.

If God made a weapon, it would be....

...wait...

He did.

Carry on.

You should put Mods on that Duvolle AR, then it'll work as a dream...

I think thats what CCP intented it to be, a Gods Weapon...

I can use the viziam and carthum bur mainly use the CRW and CRD. They are all amazing weapons. The Viziam Scrambler is absolutely a beast and is the KING of quick kills (after sniper rifles of course).

However, I have died using it more than enough times due to the weapon seizing from overheat. Once that happens you are easy pickings for 5 seconds. And of course when on very little hp I have killed myself from the feedback damage. That charged shoot is both a blessing and a curse as it causes enormous overheat issues.

It is probably the best 1 v 1 weapon, but it is quickly overwhelmed against multiple targets due to heat buildup. I run Caldari so I am not sure how much the Amarr Assault suit and the heat reduction bonus helps.

I honestly think the heat buildup is drastic enough to keep the ScR from being OP. I never use it if I know I will engaged multiple targets like in a building or on an objective. Currently it is amazing in certain situations and so so in others.

Absolutely nailed it. SCR IS the king of 1v1's but it fails when engaging 3+ enemies of equal distance. Rule of thumb is IF you encounter a good SCR user as a group, close in on him. If he is worth anything, he WILL kill at least 1, maybe 2. Engaging anything more simultaneously with make him either sieze up (or close to it) or drain his clip, forcing him to rely solely on his sidearm for survival.

Best advice for a SCR user:

1. Stay mobile.
2. Always try to isolate single targets.
3. Utilize cover.
4. Nail that charge shot. If you miss it, your gun will be too hot to attempt an 8-10 shot volley. It will sieze up.
5. Know when your gun will sieze up and use your sidearm as your finisher, if needed. Ammo count will give the clue. Get familiar with it.
6. Hip fire like a M'fer in CQC. It's your only hope. Make sure to aim high for quick kill potential.

This gun in Proto Level beats all other Rifles at proto, just charging up the shot in the head & its an insta kill, & shoot 3 - 5 bullets in the body & their dead & i was gonna put Damage mods on the Gun, due to my Experiance with Advance variant, which is crappy i may say. But now since i've tried the gun it's OP as S*it. But it does Overheat very quckly which is a downside but a good balance.
