I think it is, I mean, sure it can deal a lot of damage in a short period of time, but once you overheat it, you are quite literally f**ked. I know the amarr assault suit gets a bonus to reduce heat build-up, but I just bought the 'Paladin' commando, and the overheat is too much. I can't deal enough damage to most enemies before it overheats, often leaving them on 40-50% armor when they kill my overheated commando.
It has more range than the RR, does it? That's cool and all, but when it comes to close range combat against a heavy, (a heavy that you can defeat by strafing), you have no chance unless you can find a bit of cover to let your ScR cool down.
I feel like speeding up the cooldown of the rifle would be necessary, what do you think?

The standard variation functions perfectly fine and is really supposed to be used at ranges of 40+m or so I think at the very least.
The Assault Scrambler Rifle feels a little iffy to me though an I can't place my finger on why.

The real trick to the scrambler is not overheating. Don't let the heat get that high, switch to a sidearm if you still need to put out damage otherwise just let it cool a bit.
Just have to get a feel for it.

I don't remember the last time I used ScR without Amarr assault lvl5.. It was a looong time ago!
All I can tell you is that with it, the weapon is perfectly fine! It can hipfire decently to take down a scout but it'll be less efficient than the CR or AR of course. It has pretty much the same range as the RR which can be really useful to take down these rooftop campers.
It's a burst weapon, it doesn't deal damages over time like all other rifles. It deals a lot of damages in a short period of time (thanks to charged shots and R1 spam) and then have to cool down to strike again. This kind of weapon makes each shot matters and need to be used with a good aim, and a great knowledge of how it works^^ If you miss, it'll punish you. But if don't..
Working perfectly well for me ^^ |

The overheat is what keeps it balanced. It also has less range than the RR. My advice is to try to avoid heavies in CQC. Try to pick them off at range. If your gun is getting hot and the heavy is still alive, just let it cool down for a bit and try again.

lol the scrambler is borderline op certainly not UP. You know since we got the weapon restored it fires more shots before overheat than it ever did before regardless of what suit it is on.

The ScR is very balanced when running it on an Amarr assault suit but when running on anything else it over heats a little too quickly and the seize time is unbearable.
As far as the AScR it felt great when they did the mini hotfix on it and adjusted the dispersion but then did not seem to return after the accidental delete of that update. It is near impossible to kill armor tanked suits with it without a damage mod. |

I could easily get 25-28 shots pre-nerf now I can only get 24 maybe 25 if the heavenly bodies aligned and blessed me.
Edit: that's with lvl 5 in the Amarr Assault, the semi is not even worth it on non-Amarr assaults now and the Ascr is like a crippled that never fully recovered

The Assault Scrambler Rifle feels a little iffy to me though an I can't place my finger on why. I love the AScR, it's my go to gun on my MinAslt (I know, filthy Matar ) and it will tear most things up. If I get the drop on an AmSent I can rip them down and finish them with my Flaylock. I could see some heat build up or cooldown changes but the damage is fine. Maybe the AScR could use a tiny damage buff, but I don't think it needs it.

Even MLT ASCR is pretty good. Yeah, the MLT AScR is a boss, though I still wish we had a STD AScR, I'll use it until then.
But yeah, it utterly violates shield suits, even the CalSent, but it's not the easiest gun to get to grips with.

The ScR is one of the most beastly weapons to ever grace Dust 514. Most people just don't know how to use it, e.g: They take it into CQC against a Heavy/Sentinel or multiple opponents. Which of course a good player can make it work but the average player will not be able to.

No. Its fine. Stop touching it. Its perfect right now.
Its used less than the other rifles, but that is to be expected. It has the highest skill cap amongst the rifles, but also the highest learning curve. Still not a lot considering all the rifles are pretty easy to use, but still working as intended.

You do know the HMG Seize and Cool down time amounts to 14 seconds while the ScR standard variant is roughly equivalent to 11 seconds and the AScR if I am right in my counting is amounts to 14 seconds as well, and the Laser Rifleis 13 seconds.

No I did not know the exact times. I was just going off how it feels and the HMG feels like an eternity compared to the ScR. However, the actual seized up time doesn't matter. My point was that his assertion that the overheat mechanic makes the ScR UP is just absurd.

It certainly doesn't make it UP but it is a crippling punishment for lack of trigger discipline.

Don't fight at close range, or pack a sidearm that is suited to CQC. Sidearms compliment your LW, which is supposed to have gaps in effective ranges.
Amarr are supposed to be mid-long range fighters with lots of armor. Makes them great for dispatching Minmatar at medium range (Being mostly shield based) and for killing Gallente at long range (Since AR's deal crap damage at that range.)
At least that's how its supposed to work.

Basically the best way to kill a Minmatar is to kite the **** out of them. Y'know that idea that Minmatar ships are faster than Amarrian ones....... not always/often true.
If they can't get into range you have all the time in the world to riddle them through with a dozen charred, smoking laser holes.

Normal ScR is utter crap.
However every ScR does perfectly fine on Amarr Assault lv5. Especialy Viziam with 2dmg mods. This thing shreds armor as fast as shields.

Its used less than the other rifles, but that is to be expected. It has the highest skill cap amongst the rifles, but also the highest learning curve. Still not a lot considering all the rifles are pretty easy to use, but still working as intended.
Actually, the heat buildup still needs to be changed to work on a per shot basis rather than a timed effect. Simply yo make the weapon easier to understand, and make balancing easier to implement in the future if needed. LOLno

Commando A/1-Series, approach with caution.
Or just run away screaming.
It is not advised to attack unless in Sentinel.

Just have to get a feel for it. The "sidearm" on the commando is a laser rifle, which is useless at close range lol.
well don't run two weapons with the same damage profile. i would either run a SCR/CR fit or LR/CR (or ACR if that suits you better)... |

When i use my scrambler rifle, i do what THUNDERGROOVE said
either pull out my bolt pistol (armor damaging profile) before my gun overheats or pull it out when i get to my opponents armor. It does so well in CQC the bolt pistol
1.10 will kill stealthy scouts
time to respec into an assault :D

I have 2 commando fits, 1 for long range (rail rifle/scrambler rifle) and 1 for short range (combat rifle, assault rifle)
1.10 will kill stealthy scouts

ScR is not UP
It just takes more user input and experience to use effectively than other rifles.

I love the ScR.
On an amarr assault the ScR is a beast for anyone with good aim and less spray and pray shooting.
On all other suits the ScR is comparable to other light weapons at its role of killing shield suits and low ehp suits like scouts.
However, the ScR is weak against stacked armor suits even with amarr assault lvl 5. But that's what SMGs are for.
The only winner of WWIII will be the cockroaches.

I know the amarr assault suit gets a bonus to reduce heat build-up, but I just bought the 'Paladin' commando, and the overheat is too much. I can't deal enough damage to most enemies before it overheats, often leaving them on 40-50% armor when they kill my overheated commando.
It has more range than the RR, does it? That's cool and all, but when it comes to close range combat against a heavy, (a heavy that you can defeat by strafing), you have no chance unless you can find a bit of cover to let your ScR cool down.
I feel like speeding up the cooldown of the rifle would be necessary, what do you think?
PS: I don't usually write that much, so if you don't understand something up there, blame me lol.
Make a Caldari shield tank alt and then ask that question lol. Nothing kills shield tanks faster than the ScR, but of course shield tanks don't exist thanks to the continuous buffing of shield profiled weapons to make them perform on par with RR/CR against armor tanks.
I posted an explanation of what's happening in my own thread here:
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=183532&find=unread
TL;DR: The AR and ScR have been balanced to perform on par with the popular form of tanking IE. armor tanking, making shield tanking more and more rare and therefor unaccounted for in balancing the game. |
