Used the scrambler rifle to see what all the fuss was about and here is what i've come up with
PROS charge shot is ohk for almost all scouts and most suits below advance level every shot packs a punch large clip good for 1v1
CONS overheat tends to kick in at the worst time leaving you completely defenceless till the gun has cooled if you miss the charge shot your ****** if the enemy is somewhat close overheat tends to kill you in intense cqc situations more then the enemy not a good choice for fighting more then two ppl at a time
so far from what i've seen the scrambler rifle would be op if it weren't for the overheat function which keeps it in check but to ppl who run scouts and low tier suits it would seem op due to the charge shot which is ohk to them. also while it does have a high rof shooting the gun as fast as you can is not recommended as its easy to lose track of your heat build up and can lead to wasted shots.
simply put this gun is not op because overheat keeps it in check

BTW i have pro V with scr since i use the ascr which i find to be much more reliable also you must take into account that this is a simi-auto weapon so more power per shot compared to other rifle makes sense which would give it a lower ttk IF every shot hits

All true. ScR also takes a modicum of skill. Not a ton, but that's more than a good chunk of people playing this game have. Pray and spray FTW.

You just pointed out why the AK.0+ScR is broken. Fear of overheating is not a factor with the AK.0

simply put this gun is not op because overheat keeps it in check A pro you didn't mention is massive total ammo damage (total ammo*damage). This means you don't absolutely need to use a slot on a hive, which is a big plus for assault suits.
The other thing with the ScR is that it is a relatively difficult weapon to master. It's not surprising that it seems relatively weak when you've not used it much.
The real question is whether a ScR is OP in the hands of a skilled user versus AR, CR, RR, LR in the hands of a similarly skilled user. My general impression is that it's roughly the same as CR and RR (maybe slightly weaker right now due to armour tanking dominance), stronger than AR, and much stronger than LR. |

I'd just like to point out that the CR and other burst weapons aren't grab and go simply because you actually have to practice to get the groove down properly.

the ar has twice the damage in a mag vs the scrambler not on an amarr assault before it blows up in your face
which could only mean the ar is op

That is what your going with? So you saying in the time the Scr...non assault version, overheats, (blows up in your face is the laser rifle...225 dmg lets keep it on facts) the AR does twice the damage? I do not remember those numbers. Can you post your math? While doing it just for kicks use the assault numbers too. Then more kicks, use the Scr damage till over heat with and without charge shot. we can make a classroom and you could teach us. |

just off the top of my head
39*60 = 2340 ar with any suit
79*15 = 1185 without amarr assault suit 79*22 = 1738 with amarr assault suit
please tell me how the scrambler is op again?

The SCR has high alpha, good range and is very effective in 1v1 when the SCR user can put rounds on target. For protracted engagements and/or when fighting multiple opponents in quick succession, the other racial rifles are a bit better. On maps with a good balance of (relevant) inside and outside areas I think the SCR, CR and RR are fairly well balanced. The AR lags a bit behind in that it gets out ranged and/or out DPS'd too often. I have and use all four racial rifles at proto, so I think I have a reasonable basis for my opinion. I probably use the SCR 3rd most (RR in the open, CR in compounds/inside sockets, SCR when I'm feeling saucy). I'm too timid with my charged shots and not patient enough to throttle down when near over heating, so the benefits seem balanced against the limitations (at least in my case, I don't use the Amarr assault).

Clip size for scrambler is 45 the numbers you have listed is how much shots you can pull off before overheating

This is terrible logic. You're not looking at nearly enough factors.
By your logic, the shotgun is OP because it has a large amount of DPS and large damage per clip. Except it's not, because you didn't look at the range. Likewise, looking at clip size is equally pointless for the SCR. There are zero situations in which you can empty the entire clip on a whim. The Amarr assault to 5 will not let you do this. It won't even let you get halfway there.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Okay not logic...lets call it perspective. The shotgun is an outlier and not a rifle...

But that isn't really the normal situation. A typical ScR versus AR engagement starts like this:
0-1 seconds - 700 damage from Imperial ScR*, 468 from Duvolle AR. 1-2 seconds - 700 damage from Imperial, 468 from Duvolle.
At that point, the Imperial has put out much more damage, and the Duvolle user is probably dead. And this is before we even bring in the other advantages of the ScR, such as massive clip size, massive total ammo damage, and longer range.
I think it's pretty clear the ScR is in a better place than the AR. The question for discussion is how it fares relative to CR and RR, and I wouldn't say it's OP compared to those weapons, maybe slightly weaker even. The problem is those three outclass everything else.
*932 is theoretical maximum DPS of Imperial without charge shots. DPS over 1000 is achievable with a charge shot followed by R1 spam. I've used a more conservative figure of 700 to reflect what typical users can achieve. All numbers assume zero damage mods. |
