So I've been playing Warframe a lot lately, because of the event going on there.
The weapon I use in Warframe is called the Synapse. It is essentially a living gun that shoots electricity from its face when you tickle its prostate.
Here is a video of it in use. As you can see, it pretty fun to use, and fairly interesting. Definitely my favorite rifle in Warframe.
The keener of you out there might have noticed that it doesn't shoot one hit scanner at a time to deal its damage. It behaves more like a really really fast shotgun that does only a little bit of damage per "pellet". I believe it shoots 6 " pellets" per ammo consumed.
So basically, I'd like to see the AScR behave like the Synapse.
It makes a rediculous amount of sense for it to be this way as well, considering that Scrambler weapons are basically just upsized Tasers.

Kinda...
I suppose you could think of it like a mid-range LR with a better hipfire and no damage buildup.
But mechanically, it would be more like a really really fast shotgun, that has the DPS/Range profile of a rifle instead.
Still much more interesting than just another autorifle, though. All this future tech, and and everyone still uses autorifles? Boring as ****.
It also won't be outperformed by the AR anymore, because it would be different enough that their roles wouldn't overlap so much.

Oh and instead of trying to endlessly change the three amarr weapons that exist, how bout instead we work on getting some new ones.
Believe me, I'd love new Amarrian weapons.
But it has become quite clear that the art team didn't.
That and most of the art team was sent to Iceland, last we heard.
So basically, we aren't getting new Amarrian -anything-. At least as far as new models are concerned.
And I've been asking for Amarrian(and Minmatar) weapon variants to be fleshed out for the last 10 months.
Ratatti hasn't said a single word in any of the 10+ threads I've made suggesting new variants for existing content.

It probably won't.
This thread will probably get ignored just like all the others I've made about similar things.
But it's worth a try.

" A laser emits a laser beam into the air, the laser beam rapidly heats and ionizes surrounding gases to form plasma the plasma forms an electrically conductive plasma channel." Almost correct The ScR though is an electro-laser not like the laser rifle.
Exactly. An upscaled Taser.
Like I said in the OP...

So does nobody want this?
As much as I'm kinda looking forward to the AScRs being hipfire powerhouses...
I feel like this is a better way to fix them, because it heavily differentiates them from ARs which are in direct competition for the role of "anti-shield-autorifle", and doesn't supplant ARs for their role.
By making them a psuedo-beam weapon like this, they become no longer in such direct competition with ARs, but rather something between Shotguns, Laser Rifles, and ARs.
And they'd be tight. Let's be honest. A lightning gun is something this game would only be better off with.
