If the SCR needs a nerf I'd give it less ammo, possibly make it overheat faster (but cool down faster too).
False premise. Scrams do heat per second not heat per shot. So over three seconds of continuous fire a scram that fires three shots (one per second) will have built up the same heat that 18 shots (6 per second) has built because the time mechanic from the laser rifle was copy/pasted to the scram.
TBH that's the only real problem with the weapon. If the heat cost was changed to per-shot we wouldn't be having these circular discussions on a daily basis. Hooray for lazy coding...

Too niche. If you can't spam it somehow, a weapon will never really catch on.

Sure you can.

Echo 1991 wrote:All that needs to be done is one of 2 things or both:
1. lower Damage per shot by x amount
2. lower RoF by x amount.
And if its possible change the heat mechanic to per shot. The weapon has far too many strong points and its only weak point is an overheat mechanic that is easily manageable. It doesnt need the nerf hammer but something needs to be done.
I don't like #1, it's a tactical rifle with a bad damage profile.
#2 is fine, but changing to per-shot heat cost would be more logical, and arguably more effective.
