After the second round of nerfs to the SCP, I noticed that it is most effective in the 10-15 meter range. Even at the most effective range, the non-breach SCP is essentially like shooting marshmallows at your opponent. It often takes more than a full 13 round clip to do any significant damage, hitting the opponent with every shot. While I was previously a huge SCP fan befoe nerfs 1 and 2, it is now agonizing to use and while I do weave, jump and use random movement during encounters, the use of the SCP often gets me killed.

Having abandoned the SCP, I specced into the SMG, which is quite an effective little buggar. It is more effective than the SCP in TTK, easy to get head shots, and more reliable than the SCP in any circumstance, especially in a laggy game where fully automatic weapons have the advantage over semi auto.

The BP, however beats both the SCP and SMG in TTK, and range. The limitation is ammo/clip size, but the force is quite strong with this one and aim assist compensates for the low ammo. During the sidearm event, I played a double militia bolt pistol and wrecked people left and right, laughing at the easy mode nature of the weapon. The "nerf" to charge time has not offset the power of the weapon IMO.

I regularly die to BPs while at full health and I am running around in my default eHP scout (no sheidl/armor tanking) at top speed darting, weaving and jumping 50-60 meters away. This weapon is way OP and I will exploit it as long as it continues; absurd really.

Just last night, on the line harvest map, I was causing heavies to seek cover as I terrorized them with my double militia BP from at least 50 meters away. At that range, it is much more powerful than a CR, giving cause for alarm and yielding incredible shock potential and fear factor.

Not to mention that the BP technology is supposed to be the same as a RR, which is another marshmallow shooter now. Why does the BP do so much damage, while the RR does so little? The damage output doesn't suggest that those two weapons both belong in the hybrid - rail category. The sidearm is a beast. The primary is a kitten.

Its not op charge kills its opness now. Its actually balanced try an smg vs it and see who wins

If not, I'm going to start speccing into BP. That thing is still way OP. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

(I'm not complaining. I simply want to verify that there are no nerfs coming down the pipe for this weapon. I hate speccing into a branch of the skill tree, only to find that I have wasted my SP a month later when the next hotfix comes out.)

You're running a suit that has no HP and then complaining that a gun is OP because it OHK's you.

I am not complaining. I am stating that it is OP IMO and I am going to use it as such. I was merely asking about Dust current affairs. Are there any nerfs in store for this weapon? That is all.

Not too many people agree with you, most believe the SMG is way too good so it's safe to say the weapon is fine and will not be getting nerfed. Feel free to skill into it and use/abuse...
