Has anyone else tried Rail Rifle Scouts? I just went 22/4 and have started getting around a 3.0 kdr average per game in an advanced build.
this is what I've been using:
Scout C/1-series
SB-39 Rail Rifle
Magsec SMG
ARN-18 Cloak Field
Complex Shield Extender x2
Advanced Precision Enhancer
Complex Range Amplifier x2 |

I run Plasma Rifle (GEK and Duvolle) Amarr Scouts, best game I've had with those setups is 36/2.

There is a reason the rail rifle currrently accounts for over 40% of light weapon purchases.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I mostly run Caldari teck on my cal scout and found the rail rifle to be perfect for ambushing and flanking reds who are rushing an objective . It's really good to De cloak pop a couple of rounds Iinto 1 guy the cloak and run to catch them when they come looking for you .

I fought and bled for the State on Caldari prime.

Because the users die a lot more.

Depending on map, I'll use a RR or CR on my scout. I've had a number of matches where I've gone ~30/~0-2. Low scan profile and cloaking give you the ability to dictate engagements. Add a range advantage to this and you can consistently put yourself in favorable situations where your enemy doesn't have a lot of good options. When you're shotgunning, you'll usually get your primary target, but it is likely that you've put yourself within range of one or more other enemies. With a RR, you can snack on all of the injured/sickly gazelles without having to put yourself in harms way.

I use a CR on my Cal scout hunter. You learn pretty quickly that when hunting other scouts, you don't want to engage them within their shotgun range if at all possible, especially since most Cal Scouts running precision enhancers will go down in one hit. |

Too resource heavy and the lol-charge I would imagine would actually hurt scouts the most out of any frame.
CR however - low fittings, high alpha, range and to be quite frank better than the shotgun in CQC (outside of that first shot) against most competent players.
They are both OP in their own ways though.

Same here (except on a Gal Scout). Works decently enough.
I just wish I wasn't gimping myself by intentionally using the GAR...
Edit: Can we just change the AR's name to Plasma Rifle? It can't take that long... |

I've used the RR on my calscout quite a bit. Usually as more of a long range flanker on maps where most engagements happen at range. TBH I feel the CR performs better as a scout weapon as I try to make more engagements happen at closer ranges.
Before 1.8 I was a strong believer in the RR, now that 1.8 is here I have swapped to a primarily CR only user. |
