Deadly. Awe-inspiring. Utterly destructive.

Suicidal to use. Impractical to fit. Inspires much QQ.

One thing I have never understood: why does the charge shot only use up one round of the ScR clip? Because the charge is so powerful, it would potentially be more balanced if the charge used up 5 rounds (for example).

EDIT: unless people think the overheat is enough of a balance mechanic.

But a very powerful gun in skilled hands.

OKAY OKAY! Since you asked so nicely...this is what we're thinking.

Assault [5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of light/sidearm weapons]
- Caldari Assault: +5% to reload speed of hybrid railgun light/sidearm weapons per level.
- Gallente Assault: 5% reduction to hybrid - blaster light/sidearm hip-fire dispersion and kick per level.
- Minmatar Assault: +5% to projectile light/sidearm and +1 to Minmatar explosive weaponry clip size per level.
- Amarr Assault: 5% reduction to laser weaponry heat build-up per level.

Logistics [5% reduction to PG/CPU cost of equipment]
- Caldari Logistics: +10% to nanohive max. nanites and +5% to supply rate and repair amount per level.
- Gallente Logistics: +10% to active scanner visibility duration and +5% to active scanner precision per level.
- Minmatar Logistics: +10% to repair tool range and 5% to repair amount per level.
- Amarr Logistics: 10% reduction to drop uplink spawn time and +2 to max. spawn count per level.

Will copy + paste this in to the Feedback thread too.

It does use the equivalent of 10 normal shots worth of heat, which is just as valuable as ammo for the SCR.

More so really, given the massive amount of damage a ScR user has in the magazine and in total, e.g.:

Total magazine damage: Duvolle - 2244; Imperial - 3564
Total ammunition damage: Duvolle - 11220; Imperial - 17820

That's even without taking charge shots

Especially for non-Amarr assault ScR users, heat management is crucial, but ammo management, not so much.

makes sense as eve lasers dont have ammo at all unless its a tech II crystal

I have the Viziam SCR, but I don't think I have actually ever used it. I never really feel the need to use proto anything, but I absolutely love scrambler rifles; best weapon idea CCP ever implemented in the game.

Laser Mayhem Highlights from the weekend being uploaded ^^ 3 games 53 kills 3 deaths

*sigh*

I miss using my LR.

It just dawned on me that a charged shot of the scrambler does more damage than a sniper shot. It uses a single round of ammunition.

It has a high fire rate, it still smashes armour, works great at range or up close..... why use anything else? And people defend that rifle? LOL

I might have to spec into this OPness

The most deadly less talked about weapon that the Nerf Hunters don't know about and/or even speak of its name. That weapon is just absolutely terrifying. When I die fast and I see the "Killed By" screen, I find it not surprising that my quick death was due to the enemy using a Viziam.
