I'm leaning against going with the RR simply because I'm a Gal scout and that thing is NOT helpful with maintaining stealth...
Being a veteran AR user I laugh at the people who think Breach can keep up with the other rifles now. It's **** at CQC. I really hate the other variants as well.
I was trying out the ScR and I like it a lot. Gives you a better ranged option than RR because the charged shot won't break your stealth if you are aware of your immediate surroundings. However I was doing it on my Amarr Assault character and still haven't tried it on my scout.
I don't like the way the CR handles although I didn't practice it for very long. Maybe I need to fine tune my sensitivity settings, and I'd imagine I'll like it a lot more once I get used to hipfiring while strafing like all the FOTM scrubs do.

I should have mentioned my sidearm is a ScP.
**** it, I'm skilling up an alt with proto Combat Rifles. I'm probably going to be leaning towards that because it's the only rifle that matches my ScP perfectly, and from using my heavy a lot I'll be used to the projectile damage profile.
Yeah... I should have realized when I was using the ScR I shouldn't have been doing it on the Amarr Assault if I wanted to get a feel of how it is with a scout.
Quote:Breach AR is fantastic in CQC, I have no clue what you are talking about.
It's got very little kick, a large clip, and high damage. What more could you want?
I don't have a SMG like most of you **** heads do. More power to you if you can make the slow RoF hit with every bullet in CQC because I can't. Maybe you haven't picked up an AR in so long you don't realize the regular variant does better close up.

Are you joking?
Shut the **** up you Shaking Baby proto stomping crutch using scrub. Your entire corp is scum.
Good luck hitting a scout with the BAR when he outstrafes your auto aim. Yeah it's a decent gun now but I've been using the AR for a ******* year now, I'm nowhere near ignorant. In PC you're not going to have the stopping power you need against armor stacked heavies and assaults. You can ******* strafe through the breach's slow RoF at ANY RANGE. Which is exactly why I put the gun down after losing an AR duel against Derrith Erador when he was only using a ******* BPO with a Toxin and I had the ADV Logi with the GB-9.
The bottom line is I feel way more comfortable with the regular AR because it outperforms the breach at CQC, I don't care what anyone says. And I know way too much about the metagame and the AR to be fooled into thinking BAR can hold its own against the CR and ScR being an all purpose weapon. Breach is good at picking people off from medium to short range, but that's it. CR and ScR are multi-purpose and excel in any situation.
And the RR makes the enemy instantly aware of you from almost anywhere on the battlefield, the kick was bad even before the nerf and like someone else in the thread said, as a Scout every shot counts.
Nobody is going to hear your ScR unless they are within your passive scanning range, and at that point it's your own fault for not knowing they're there. You shouldn't be charging the ScR if you're getting close enough to be heard so that's not what I was talking about. It's great for picking the enemy off at range and if they already know you're there at close quarters you might as well charge it up if you're not going to run away.

Anyway I have tried the ADV ScR and AScR on a basic Gal scout and I LOVE IT. I understand what you mean Zindorak about the Assault having a low DPS like the AR, but I really feel a huge difference because the AR misses a lot of bullets whereas the AScR doesn't and it has longer range. But there are some issues.
Cons
- I don't have a SMG which is the perfect sidearm combo with the ScR.
- I was really feeling the crunch against CR users, even at range. They tore me apart.
- The metagame is still armor dominant, and it's not going to hit armor as hard as a CR.
- I already have my ScP skilled up for dealing with Cal Scouts.
Pros
- The thing is a beast at range, which is perfect for a Scout because you don't want to take any damage.
- It does very well at closer ranges, even at CQC because of the great accuracy.
- I have a feeling I'm going to need it against my mortal enemy, the Cal Scout.
I'm going to test out another alt character that I've now put a combat rifle on the Gal scout, to see which one I prefer.
Right now for me it's between the CR and ScR.
