I guess the more micro charge you fire with, the more slowly you will fire.
Though it's interesting to see that the in game dps will be more than just the base damage multiplied by the users firing rate.
Good video. This probably happens with all charge weapons, such as nova knives and ion pistols. |

Aeon, if you manage to do more testing, please would you test scrambler rifle dps by firing at a close target by spamming the trigger (realistically) and then using the damage done and time taken to calculate actual dps? Please also do this with an assault variant rifle (preferably CR, RR or AR) and a TacAR for comparison.
If you were able to fit this into your tests it would be awesome.
I don't know if you have an unusually fast or slow trigger finger, but it would be really interesting to see actual in game dps for semi auto weapons.
I suspect the scrambler rifles will do the most dps.
I feel that if the scrambler rifle were truly OP, more people would use it. I know this thread isn't calling for a nerf. I just think it would be a shame if the gun did get nerfed without the whole picture being taken into account. Rattati has the spawn efficiency numbers, which would probably be the most telling. If it does need a nerf, these investigations will help determine what to do. I suspect toning down damage or rate of fire threshold would be better balances, rather than messing with charge mechanics. |

Perhaps under a certain threshold (say 20%) the scrambler does base damage, and we shorten the charge damage multiplier from 0%-100% to 20%-100% meaning you still get relatively the same amount of damage from a charge shot from 59%-100% charge without getting the microcharge values under 20%.
Why though? What's been discovered isn't a bug. It doesn't need fixing.
If you think the scrambler does too much damage, just reduce the damage. |

Another good test. I'd be careful saying it does more damage than it's supposed to. That's not quite right. It does more damage than it appears on paper, from our previous understanding of the way the weapon worked.
As is too often the case in Dust, the in game information poorly describes how things really work.
It would be interesting to know how quickly you fired those 7 or 8 shots. |
