you should prepare your anus for all the scram users skilling into combat rifles

A huge number of weapon complaints since closed beta were about the protoypes of various weapons. That also doesn't indicate if the weapon was OP or people were forced to use them to be competitive.

The video was very enjoyable, so thank you. I appreciate the amount of details given although I'd like to know if or how many light complex damage mods were fitted?

Aside the tactical movements of the Sentinels & Scouts were mostly terrible. Trying breach tight CQB areas with no armor or advancing on open ground with a short range weapon? They were spoon feeding you kills except for that one spot in the stairwell when it appeared like hit-detection might have glitched bad.

Maybe a video using an ADV Frame and ScR?


Edit: Feck'n auto correct.

You kept using your SMG after taking out shields.

PRO TIP: Keep firing until you're about to overheat, THEN switch to the SMG to finish off the remainder of their HP (or cook a grenade behind cover to alpha a heavy's armor even more)

Like a few people have said all I see is proto slaughter in this video. Proto vs STD suits. but all proto is OP against STD thats how it was intended. Also I see him getting a lot of headshots. Not finishing headshots but headshots none the less. So that also adds to the ease of killing.

Your video does not make an argument for or against scrambler rifles being OP. There is no discussion of balance, mechanics, comparisons made to other rifles, etc.

Furthermore the narrator is using all proto gear with logistic support against adv. and basic, making it difficult to gauge the overall effectiveness of scrambler rifles in general.

Yes the ScR is OP and the data shows it!
Prepare your ****

Actually I just gave the CPM a heads up yesterday that the scrambler is outperforming other rifles right now, yet the assault scrambler is one of the worst performers, along with all the GA Assault Rifles, still...Straight

Yeah, of course it's OP. That's why you see so many of them in the killfeed.

It's a selective fire weapon that causes considerable feedback damage if overheated. Using it well requires good timing and environmental awareness (ie, take cover during cool down). It's hipfire is terrible past 30m, and it truly does have its work cut out for it against heavily armored enemies.


What does this even mean? That there's more players using the ScR? Or that the ones using it are using it to greater effect? I'm inclined to think it's the latter because, again, I don't see many ScRs in the killfeed.

I feel that the ScR QQ run Cal Assault with OP RR. They need to HTFU and Git Gud

Ah, I couldn't see someone else responded. Couldn't see that on my mobile while out and about.

I think the Caldari players handled the SCR pretty well for a long time. Most of my squadmates and corpmates were Caldari and we would always warn our brothers of who were the SCR users on the battlefield, never taking them straight on. I might see a complaint here and there, back then on the forums, but it wasn't that loud.

Also Caldari players had limited weapon choices. For me, since my origin was assault, it was the AR. The GEK was trusty and we dealt with players complaining about that until its nerf. The old saying "to beat a thing, you must become that thing" didn't work with us. To use a SCR was pointless and to many, it wasn't Caldari so why use it?

Then we finally got our prize weapon, the RR. And boy, did people band together to get that nerfed. We looked at the complaints baffled. For so long we dealt with LRs and SCRs that melted us like hot butter but oh no, the RR is too OP and we must change that. Gotta love those double standards.

Still, even after the nerf of RR, folks still didn't complain about SCR as much as people who faced our RR. But words keep getting tossed around such as "in the effort of balance". Well, if we going to talk about a balance, then SCR needs to be put on that chopping block as well. It has had a nice run, especially the Viziam. But its not on par with other rifles. To simply say "git gud" is stupid. That mentality should have been there when you complained about the RR.

Of course people might read that as a vindictive nerf, but on the contrary its not. True Caldari players have toughed it out on the battlefield against weapons that would absolutely decimate our shield defenses quickly while having their preferred dropsuits and weapons nerfed because the opposition or better yet, General Discussions, wouldn't git gud.

Besides the background information in response to Caldari players need to stop QQing quote, which we have not for the longest of time, the SCR needs to be looked at in the effort of balance

Hey Guys,

General Discussion: Do you think the scrambler is OP after watching the video? (check the video comments before replying - I've listed all the kills)
(please comment on the video and the forums if possible :) )

Maybe you could do another video about the laser rifle. I think the last time you uploaded one to youtube was before it was buffed.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Actually gonna be doing that very soon as I've had a few people request it :) Think I will do one vid with the assault and one with the commando if possible ^^

The scrambler rifle is basically a Duvolle Tactical Assault Rifle with faster damage per second and a high ROF...with a small cooldown.

The viziam SCR does like 90 DPs, higher rate of fire and the duvolle does 70/78 (I don't know exactly) with slower rate of fire. The small clip size makes up for the lack of cooldown.

Instead of nerfing the weapon, please increase the scope zoom to make it either long range or hipfire

Yup, just add a turbo or kbm. So fix it, fix it.

Do you mean fix the ScR? I think it may be best as many others have mentioned to place a jamming feature into the game where such turbo or modded controller/kbm's are being used to mitigate their usage as other games have done. Better than nerfing the weapon, which may not be the root cause.

Nvm I used the RR and its pretty good at what it does. I just hate how a militia/standard one can chew you up to pieces.

standard cr could chew u up to peaces, so can a nova knife, or even scrambler in the right hands. Whats your point?
