No they are not. with the amarr assault bonus you can get near a full clip out before you even have to worry about over heating.

And with a proto scr that's fully charged you can 1 shot most suits with a head shot. Not to mention the 0 recoil on it so you have pin point accuracry it becomes btter then most rifles and has always been that way.

If the SCR isnt OP, then the pre nerfed RR wasnt either. Just stop bro. SCR is OP. It needs nerfing. I use it and I know it needs nerfing

Wait, really?

You on my nuts heavy brosef.

If everything had a counter, the AR, the sentinel, RR, and many others wouldnt have been nerfed you walking dildo.

The SCR is OP. Yes we are going to nerf the weapon you use. Deal with it.

No other light weapon even comes close to the headshot potential of the ScR, bar a Charged SR headshot.

Charge the ScR for 4x damage, then get a headshot and get an additional 2x for the charged shot. That's 572 damage. Any militia suit, scout suit, or only mildly tanked logi or assaults are one shotted, no exceptions.

Then you can easily instantly follow that up with an additional 5 shots before you overheat, and that's easy without the Amarr bonus. Even with the -20% to armor, each shot will land for 57 damage, which by the way is the same as the Kaalikiota RR with its +10% to armor, so don't say it can't cut through armor, because it does just as much damage as the RRs and it does it with a 75% markup to ROF. Pop on another 285 damage, it'll only take a second, and that's not even counting for if they were headshots.

So that's put you around 867 damage in around one second, maybe one and a half, that will kill even well tanked assaults, put a few levels into Amarr assaults and there is literally nothing that can stand in your way.

Oh, and you can apply that damage in full up to 76 meters. The ScR is the absolute definition of insta-gank.

Well then, i guess we need to get observing every player in dust and then we can officially determine if the scr is op.

Im sorry but most who say that its op are not exactly the best players are they?. In fact quite a few are straight up fresh newbs in comparison.

Lol, look at the scrubs who cant see past their own inadequacy.

I wonder how they'll feel when every weapon takes 5 mins to kill someone.

You say this as if any of the Conventional Rifles are difficult to use...

It was 1.2 two weeks ago I see its on the rise

No, I used to run solo NK only basic minmitar scouts with basic shields pretty much up until 1.6. Thats why Im so good at SGing now bro

But its also why my KDR is so low. That and PC's


But you go ahead and run that fit- Basic min scout, one basic shield, 2 MLT kin cats and Zn-28 NK's no cloak

Next time I play Ill check out J8SON's stats, and come back to show you how scrubby you are

Shssss.... don't let the cat out of the bag! Kidding...

The RoF was increased from about 4600 to 6000, and the damage was lowered quite a bit to compensate. It was buffed... unlike the intention of what the devs were looking for. DPS was increased (that was intentional, but overall it was buffed a lot), it also appears to do more damage at range now, it's overheat... was it increased? It sure doesn't feel like it...

I've been shredding proto heavies with my adv minmatar sentinel that has no tank whatsoever, and they might get through my shields. MIGHT.

The one balancing factor is that you run out of ammo fairly quickly, but that won't always be the case. The one thing I hope is that when they decide to a look at it, it won't become the next flaylock. I loved this thing before and after Charlie...
