You managed to make a completely fun and balanced weapon...the Scrambler Rifle.

I just played a match and let me tell you; this weapon is fun not because it gave me easy kills or was OP on the battlefield but because it felt viable and completely different than the AR. Its overheating perfectly balances the spray and pray by adding a drawback to those frantic fights. The damage is perfect so far. It melts shields like it should but is very noticibly weaker when it comes to armor...LIKE IT SHOULD!

The scrambler rifle has its own unique feel and the way you have to play with it. And the charge damage when full, I can understand some people might QQ about, but if you miss then you really only have a few shots left before it overheats or you can wait for it to cooldown. So balanced with the awesome damage but a huge drawback if you miss!

I guess the reason Im sucking the scrambler rifles balls so much is because...its an answer to the boring Duvole TARs we've been seeing. Its VIABLE and has a unique playstyle than the AR. Granted I still think the TARs are a little overwhelming, because all too often when we're in a battle after the bullets have whizzed I have to wait to cooldown lest I fry myself while the TAR happily fires away with the same damage as the scrambler but with no drawbacks... but its a small qualm.

CCP you did this right, but I sincerely hope you can manage to make weapons this fun, this VIABLE, and this UNIQUE. I really hope the likes of this weapon arent the last of its kind. A buff to the laser rifle would bring it to life maybe? Or a damage increase but wider spread to the shotgun maybe? I dont know but Im really happy with this new weapon that I think CCP really nailed.

PS I have yet to try the full auto vers.

I really wish I could try one out, even though I plan to spec mostly Caldari.

I really hope its as fun as the scrambler rifle Caldari Rail Rifle was said to have no special damage bonuses, lower damage than the other ARs, but a LOT more range. You'll be able to reach out and touch people with that thing. I'd say I was looking forward to it, but I'm more looking forward to that MagSec SMG they showed a render of at FanFest. That'd go nice with a cloaky Caldari Scout suit.
