I think it goes on a LOT more than people admit. I was talking with a dude the other day and he said there are dudes that run macros that perform the crazy 2 ft back and forth straffing. I guess there is an adapter that makes the PS3 think the KB/M is a DS3???
I've stood next to a person and watched him switch his turbo on and off at a supply depot while firing different weapons. He no longer plays Dust, but I'm not going to drop names.
There is also talk of somehow running the PS3 through a flash drive instead of the HD? Supposedly this allows you to spawn in much faster than a SSD. That one seems weird.
I don't like to QQ about that kind of stuff though. If people are that desperate to be good at a video game then I guess congrats to them. But there are simple things like making the ROF somewhere in the realm of human limitations to prevent it where you can.

If you are spamming R1 during your engagements with an ScR, you are doing it wrong. Then im doing it wrong lol. Can you teach me how to doug i mean use it Engage at your optimal. Place your shots instead of just spamming the trigger. Learn to manage your heat. Know when and when not to engage. Throwing yourself in a enemy infested resupply is an example of a "no no". Pick off one enemy at a time, as the ScR is the best 1v1 weapon out there. Works perfect for modded controllers with sense? lol. Put aim on target... Let your crosshair or LDS turn "Red" Hold down the fire button... Max ROF no recoil. rinse repeat. Also? It negates the heat build up mechanics which allows you to get more shots off before you overheat.. Charge shots with a scrambler just require you to set your turbo macro.. or toggle a switch. Now imagine a Kaalakoita RR.. and no the charge up mechanic is easy to set around. Nothing is complicated with understanding how turbos work... They had them on the Original Nintendo console that developers THEN had to start developing around so their games where still challenging and not easy to beat. No recoil is No recoil.. Pair it with how you can see people through walls, have an aim assist.... and common? this is a hackers video from a PC FPS game. lol. Please oh wise one explain how a turbo controller can get around the charge up time of the rail rifle, oh and explain how that would also work for the bolt pistol, forge gun, large railgun and railgun installation. I'm waiting with baited breath. A macro controller would only work with the Charge shot of the ScrR because the ScrR also has a semi auto fire mode, the other weapons you mentioned do not.
You would simply set the Macro to hold the first button press for how long the ScrR takes to charge around 2 sec I think, then to switch to turbo.

Most likely it does.
Yes there are indeed. I've seen them for sale at different retailers.
IDK How, but a few days ago I was playing and on my initial spawn of a Domination, I spawned on the ground, moved about 2m to the right and was killed by a remote explosive.
I agree 100%

You would simply set the Macro to hold the first button press for how long the ScrR takes to charge around 2 sec I think, then to switch to turbo.
You can set a turbo macro to hold the charge up time on the RR then the turbo input keeps it firing with no recoil.
Works this way with SCR too.. set the macro to hold input for 1-2 seconds, then lets out a burst of rapid fire turbo. You can even set it so it quits before you overheat.
Like I said Macros have been around since computers.. Nothing should be complicated to understand about how to set one.
6 Year olds do 15 skill macros in World of Warcraft that have different timings each skill goes off..
Complex Bots in Videogames that level and gather stuff for you is ran off a series of macros.
We can argue ignorance all we want, The fact that a simple Macro negates the entire Recoil Mechanics of DUST 514 is messed up. |

I love the people saying they can get 10+ shots per second period, let alone without overheating. Unless you are using a maxed amarr assault it is impossible. Btw you should go pro. The AVERAGE MLG shots/sec is 7. Thats right 7. And contrary to what many have said, the ScR overheats faster the faster you shoot. It has a heat per shot, not so many seconds before it overheats. I have heard some say they get 12-16 shots per heat cycle on a non amarr assault. I get about 10-12, and thats pretty fast. I do agree though, modded controllers are an issue, especially for the combat rifle. No weapon in dust should have a rof above 7 shots per second. The scr has 9, the combat rifle has 12 (bursts not bullets.) This needs to be fixed. |

Heat is not per shot. This was confirmed months ago.

Its kind of like the Laser Rifle
Basically the gist is the faster you press the bumper the more shots you get before over heat.

The question is whether the heat per shot always depends on the charge status of the respective shot or if anything below a certain charge threshold is considered an "uncharged shot" or something.
Autofire controllers send a clocked signal of the shortest duration the console will reliably recognize. For all we know this might as well be 1ms or less. I can almost guarantee that a human finger will squeeze the fire button for significantly longer than that. Without some kind of threshold this would mean that human caused shots generally build up more heat than machine triggered ones.
Confirming the lack of such a threshold mechanic would completely explain this odd behavior and offer a solution to the heat buildup shenanigans at the same time.

Now while I believe True Adamance is right in that the heat build up is not just "per shot" because I faintly remember myself seeing a dev post confirming the SCR heat algo to be a bastardized version of the laser rifle code, it certainly isn't identical to the laser rifle in practice.

I can confirm this anecdotally, at least. A squad (I would assume, since they were all running seemingly identical fits) of brick-y Cal scouts with CRWs were annoying the hell out me in an Ambush recently. I'd started out running PlC + Breach ScP on a fully speed-tanked Scout G-1 because fun, but finally spawned my fully slowness-tanked Assault ak.0 with Viziam ScR out of, well, pretty much just spite and instagibbed them a few times. 1200 HP is a real ***** when you have no heat reduction bonus, I guess. Suddenly, they're all shotguns and CRs...and a militia heavy frame with RR. They shotgunned me eventually, but it was still pretty chuckle-worthy.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

Well let's look shall we? The imperial vizam Scrambler Rifle can reach 846 DPS when modded this kills my 700 EHP Proto Suit in about 0.93 seconds, I usually run a SixKin ACR which can manage 420 DPS, assuming my enemy also has 700 EHP I must deal at least 650dmg to him before I die, in order for him to die from overheat.
You may notice that is a physical impossibility, even if we say he has 60% accuracy so about 1.20 seconds to kill me, I must still achieve over 100% accuracy to kill him from the overheat. So overheat is onlt a factor in your death with a modded controller if you are a poor shot.

that is ofc it you fire long enough for it to seize. players who know how to control thier heat build up are a nightmare to fight. i dont know where people got the idea that you have to fire till it over heats because you simply do not.

Thank you for evidence.
So what I'm saying is the guy was just firing full auto, clearly using a modded controller up to the point of almost overheat, letting it cool and then carrying on.
The fact that it was so brazen is what annoyed me the most, there was no attempt to hide it, and as per the title, he went 50/0 in that particular match.

Hehe I used to always play heavy, and then changed to logi when needed, like spawn pads/ammo.
I mainly use scout now mind so I should probs change that..
