First things first, let's try and keep this serious guys and gals - no crying OP or UP ok?
Now that we've gotten that out of the way....
I'll only be speaking of the advanced SCRs and up but overall I personally am really enjoying the scrambler rifle. The tier 3 SCR does ~76 HP dmg and shoots at 705rpm. The Proto does ~80 HP dmg and shoots at the same 705rpm. Keep in mind that the higher damage SCRs are semi auto with a charge shot feature.
The SCR as we all know wrecks shields and therefore is a nightmare to the Caldari and Minmatar (depending if they chose to shield tank over armor) players. Now the most common complaint I've seen on the forums so far is that people can chip enemy shields away blindingly fast, but it becomes a grueling chore to get through the armor - and oh btw it overheats if you spam R1. I myself haven't really run into this problem because I personally run two enhanced light damage modifiers along with my SCR, but if you are I recommend carrying the Flaylock and Locus Grenades to deal with the armor. A well placed headshot with the SCR charge shot can OHK an enemy but if it is a body shot it usually fully depletes the shields and takes out anywhere from a quarter to a third of armor. The SCR has from what I can tell zero recoil and spread (it shouldn't have spread....it's a laser) ,so it is easy to hit an enemy repeatedly and quickly in the same spot (easy headshots). The SCRs reload is also very quick and I look forward to speccing into rapid reload for it to see how much faster it can get.
NOTE - As some may have noticed, a charged shot followed by quick follow up shots causes you to overheat VERY quickly.
As for the fully auto SCRs the tier 3 does ~35 HP dmg at 705rpm while proto does ~40 HP dmg at 705rpm. Unfortunately I have not used the fully auto variants so perhaps someone else can review those.
Something I found a tad odd with the SCR is that you can indefinitely hold the charge shot without overheating - idk if CCP meant for this or overlooked that the SCR allows for it. |

I'm not really seeing the dispersion. Maybe it's because I'm not spamming it, but all of my shots have been insanely accurate.
Damage mods really do make this weapon start to shine though - it eats through armor far quicker with damage mods. |

I've also come to notice that the SCR is a scout's worst nightmare.
Had a shotgun scout earlier today try and sneak up on me....just spammed the SCR at him and he was down in around 7 shots. I then did this to him about six more times before he learned his lesson and left me alone lol. |
