DUST Search - Scrambler Rifle is more OP than the TAC AR of old

I use the CRW extensively and have tested the rof many times. I don't use the Amarr assault though. On my Caldari assault the average amount of shots I can get clicking trigger as fast as I can click is 16. And then the weapon seizes due to overheat. The most I have ever achieved is 20 shoots before overheat and that was shooting very slow, like one shoot a second.

If I can get 16, than a max skilled Amarr assault might get 20 or 21 shoots, which is still only half a clip. So your fantasy of that guy emptying an entire clip in a second is grossly over stated.

The ScR is a high alpha weapon. In most 1v1 fights a scrambler will win. Also the ScR does require better aim because ever shoot counts due to overheat. I prefer to use the CR in cqc because when I use the ScR, I often have to switch to my sidearm to prevent overheating.

Every other rifle allows you to empty the clip and the switch to a sidearm if needed. Due to overheat, I am often switching back and forth between my ScR and my SMG. this overheat mechanic is the best balancing mechanic in the game and makes the ScR strong in 1v1 but weaker against multiply targets.

The ScR is strong, but it is not OP. how can a weapon that constantly forces me to switch to a sidearm be OP?

Rinzler XVIII Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 129	Posted - 2014.02.26 22:48:00 - [1] - Quote Give it a ROF cap .. that is all it needs The same guy seemed to be able to rapid fire nearly his entire clip of the SCR in under a second, honestly it was so fast you couldn't even tell the gap in the light between the bullets .. Look I know some of the vets will say 'it takes skill' .. but that is not the point i'm trying to make .. Why can a semi auto weapon be able to be fired faster than its assault variant ?? The normal SCR has higher damage and range than the assault variant already and if you can then bypass the reason for using the assault variant (higher ROF) by using a modded pad or spamming R1 then it is clearly broken !! Capping the ROF just like the TAC AR had done to it and nothing else would stop this abuse taking place, the SCR is most definitely the weapon most abused by modded pad users and don't tell me .. heat build up stops it being able to be used on modded pads .. it doesn't .. you can change settings on it to make sure it doesn't. It should be bam ..... bam ..... bam ..... bam ..... not b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bam If it isn't added in 1.8 i'm buying a modded pad and skilling into the damn thing

I also extensively use it with the Amarr Assault and even then I am, when engaging an enemy very wary of how they move. Missing shots is the difference between successful fights being wins or losses. However I also make heavy use of the Combat Rifle.... with that am not so careful, I have a large amount of Dakka to throw down range and very good hit fire, missing is forgving, as I have massive RoF and Burst/Auto to compensate.

Impossible. You will overheat before you are halfway through the clip. Quote: Why can a semi auto weapon be able to be fired faster than its assault variant ?? It can't be. The RoF is capped at about 10 shots per second. Quote: The normal SCR has higher damage and range than the assault variant already and if you can then bypass the reason for using the assault variant (higher ROF) by using a modded pad or spamming R1 then it is clearly broken !! Modded pads are a problem, but it's generally not possible for people to push the trigger 10 times per second consistently whilst in combat. Quote: Capping the ROF just like the TAC AR had done to it and nothing else would stop this abuse taking place, the SCR is most definitely the weapon most abused by modded pad users and don't tell me .. heat build up stops it being able to be used on modded pads .. it doesn't .. you can change settings on it to make sure it doesn't. The TAR currently has a painful amount of oversampling and is a generally terrible weapon. You're probably quite right saying that the SCR is abused by modded controllers, but overheat is a better mechanic for combating that than causing normal users to suffer oversampling issues. By the way, please show me the modded controller which disables overheat. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

If this causes weapons to be underpowered then change the damage, but it needs sorting and will also solve the problem of turbo controllers.

I'm sure CCP will fine tune that area someday but it will be a long time from now. Don't get too excited on the Scrambler Rifles.

Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 1302	Posted - 2014.02.26 23:27:00 - [17] - Quote The ScR doesn't take any skill. It takes as much skill as a CR since they both fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. Anyways, a RoF cap might be for the better. I agree with OP. If you really want OP though, head to the assault aile. Every section from CR to RR to ScR is there. AR is at discount price.
