2 words: Heat Buildup...

doesn't matter CCP never adds new weapons without them being OP. closed beta vet yo I've learned their tactics.

Never been killed by it, never used it, never even tested it.

Why dont I complain about those jetpack's Boeing is coming out with in 2050? its about as constructive.

Man that Cyborg president of 2039 really messed up the economy eh?

the nova knife would like a word with you.

Nova knife used to be equiped to everyone character, it was never added, only nerfed. GOML scrub

Wrong.
Equipped would indicate that it took a weapon slot and had a its own dmg. There used to be a knife animation but it was never present other then the animation. Also it never had its own dmg so it was never a equipped weapon as all dmg came from the DS dmg table specific to each dropsuit.

only OP if majority of your hitpoints are based in shields oh wait

And thus scissors meets rock. Better equip some paper (armor) so you don't get crushed.

CCP stated it was a Nova Knife, you're wrong son.

it's impossible to run armor as a scout/assault... logi kinda has the option of either because logi is lolOP

Its was not a weapon with its own stats or a item you would lose on the battlefield thus it was not a item. It never had its own dmg table. It was just a animation used for the melee attack. Nothing was lost when they changed the animation it a physical weapon melee.

The Nova knife was added as its own weapon in chromozone.

Your still wrong.

Armor is getting rebalanced in the next build and different racial suits mean that you don't have to be limited to just shields.

If you care about credibility, I wouldn't repeat that outside this thread lol.

Because of the charge shot, you walk around holding it, as soon as you see an enemy you release and I expect 200-300 damage from that, then you just tap it up for the rest of the damage, no-one will be able to outgun this.

You're*

it did have it's own damage output and skills for it! however it came pre-bought with the suit, you're still wrong.

While I dont agree with OP, i have to correct you. Armor isnt really getting rebalanced. Reppers are just getting buffed. Im pretty sure plates will be unchanged, and armor resistances will be unchanged.

just a hunch but I think your confusing the scrambler rifle with the plasma cannon. If I remember correctly, the "charge up" your talking about was in the tank scene, so let me ask you...... why would you shoot an anti-infantry weapon at a tank?? unless it actually wasn't an anti-infantry weapon..... Then the next scene where we know for sure its a scrambler rifle, hes just fireing it like crazy and heat builds up even with that mode. So unless theres a description of the scrambler rifle that says otherwise im not sure if i'll believe its "op" and even if there is a charge mode with it, it'll just be like the LR. One "charge shot" will bring it near to overheating. If it does 200-300 damage he better make sure he lands his last one or two shots as I know my proto at a minimum is going to have 400 EHP so yeah..... If he misses hes screwed, if he hits he might have a chance, doesn't sound very OP to me really..... similar mechanic to the forge gun just less lethal.
