I'm really glad to know that CCP tried to do everything they could to make the new weapons as good as they could. It's even better to know they succeeded. The Scrambler Rifle is a true marksman's weapon, despite not havin much range. It requires you to make each shot count and rewards you handsomely for it. I honestly dont even want racial variants for fear that one may accidentally trigger a nerf witch hunt on the entire weapon class.

On that note, PLEASE do not touch it CCP. Not for a very long time. As time goes on, people will become better with the SR and I believe it will become the benchmark of a skilled player, where mastery of the charge shot will garner one and two hit kills. The AR people will NOT like that and WILL cry for the nerf hammer. For once, do not let the QQers win.

actually they are not that good that good. you can fire 10 times before the semi auto version overheats.

the scrambler PISTOL has 11 shots before the reload and it reloads pretty fast. all the semi auto scrambler RIFLE has over the scrambler PISTOL is more range and a charged shot.

Dude I only need ten shots.

yeah when you charge it up and hit the head it can one shot some suits. the scrambler pistol can do this without charging

TBH the charge shot should consume more ammo and the operation skill should be useful to all variants instead of just the charge SCAR.

From up close and if you can aim through the iron sigh effectively, then yes.
I've been killed by scrambler pistols twice in my entire life in this game. lol

Llan Heindell.

I agree with the skill part.
The charge shot already overheats your weapon much faster. That's the penalty.

Better aim scope.
Btw, the advantages you said in your post makes it pretty good already. The charge shot can 1hitKO people.

I got killed pretty fast and I got killed by scrambler, NERF IT.
IF U QQERS TRY TO STOP CCP FROM NERFING THEM, PULL YER HEAD IN.

Armour tanks!!! Armour tanks EVERYWHERE!!!

Perfect like the Empress!

Perfect like the Empress!

YAY HE LOVES THE AMARR AS MUCH AS ME!

As a minmatar there is something so satisfying about killing amarr with an amarr weapon.

As an Amarri Zealot there is something about enslaving your entire race......

I'm sure it'll kill the Empress to know a Minmatar supporter designed her "perfect weapon".

troll devs

Don't knock the fancy gold coat, that's vital gear for the battlefield!

Best devs.

Fixed.

I really can't make a verdict on this gun yet by the numbers its OP as ****, and I feel in the right hands it could blow every weapon away but its actually made the tac and std AR easier to use so far and is next to useless in CQC but we'll see.

frankly I won't know till I see the first couple of PC rounds, pub stomps never tell you anything meaningful about weapons ballance. least not with out a lot of time playing every weapon.

The Empress is a schitzo. Which is actually quite appropriate because one second the SR is chewing through shield and the next it is tickling armour

Perfect like the Empress!

FOR EMPRESS JAMYL!

Just for the record the overheating can kill u >.<

I don't always love slaughtering my enemies relentlessly & making them cry to CCP,... but when i do i use a Scrambler Rifle
Love This Gun Don't Change It CCP! It's amazing for those who have a Sniper Class & Can't afford to skill into an AR.
Plus snipers are probably the only ones good at using these weapons, because they're so used to being spot on with their marks & hitting the enemies domes!
Your average Heavy with his Heavy Machine Gun wouldn't be any good at using this gun, because their not used to actually aiming down their weapons sights like we are. People who use shotguns to. But yeah it's all a preference of the player & ish

Assault SR needs more damage.

So what you're saying is that the beam should be bigger upon being shot? Okay , yeah CCP Lets take more ammo to charge 1 shot & instead fill it with 25 shots & watch that huge current of plasma get bigger

The operations skill is a bit weird on how it affects only one of the variants of the scrambler rifle. CCP should look at that little glitch and change it to possible the same as the laser rifle, i.e., heat build up or dispersion. That would be great for both.

A question. The skill bonus for Scrambler Rifles involves reducing time taken to charge this weapon. I have become quite fond of the Assault SR. What does this do for me, if anything at all. As far as I know (with less than a day to explore the new rifle) only the semi auto charges. (granted I use both depending on the situation; im just curious if my assault is getting anything from that bonus.)

Thanks Babyducks! =3

I love the SR.

A few posts in here about heat build up and damage buffs but I really think if anything was buffed this weapon would be OP (and so consequently UP).

The operation bonus is lame; CCP should make the charge time equal to that of operation 5, and change the effect of the operation skill to reduce cool-down time when the gun overheats (but not feedback damage).

I would like to see the bezel on the scope slimmed down, and have the dot jump out more when its on a target.

My only gripe with the SR is that it's range is limited. I imagine this is exaggerated by a lack of proper damage drop off, and that TARs are not properly balanced.

It already is OP. Its Like a tactical sniper, only it takes more time to charge and lesser zoom.

Yeah not a bad idea.

Also, +1 to adding range. I really want to like the scrambler, but this thing will never compete against the AR without matching ranges.

My only gripe with it so far is the sound of my teammates using it, as it always sounds like I have some nova knife user near me trying to slice my head off (very similar sound effect). IMO, along with teammates laser rifle sound, the audio effect needs to be tweaked a but. There should never be any doubt if a teammate is firing a weapon at an enemy, or an enemy firing one at me. As it is now, a teammate firing a laser rifle sounds just like an enemy firing one at, or near, me. And a teammate firing a SR sounds like a enemy nova knife user is nearby swiping his blades.

You tell them Wolfman. I still charge into battle screaming

"Honour to the WOLFMAN!" with my Trusty Amarrian Assault Suit, Assault Scrambler Rifle, and Burst Scrambler Pistol.

ASCR lacks range, considering it is up against a hybrid assault rifle this doesn't make sense, and it kicks like a donkey.

... You're kidding right? It has the same stats that the Tac AR did pre-nerf. sure it over heats but not so much if you Amarr.

I call for its ROF to be in line with that of the Tac AR. Suck an EGG because you know that peeps will spec into this and abuse it soon enough

LOL Its coming and you know it. My advice to you is to jump on the MD/Forge nerf band wagon.
