Prototype Assault Scram Rifle range : 1-30M

Militia Assault Rifle Range: 1-39M

Nuff said.

All weapons of each type have the same range profile. Comparing the two ends of the scale like it means anything is stupid.

And that's the OPTIMAL range for each, not the maximum. Scrambler can actually hit from further away than the regular ARs, even Standard Scrambler vs. Proto AR.

If you read the description, the Scrambler Rifle and Pistol are actually a hybrid of a plasma and laser weapon.

I think they should swap the optimals of both weapons. Leading to this numbers:

GEK-38 Assault Rifle
Max Range: 68m
Optimal Range: 1 - 29m

CRD-9 Assault Scrambler Rifle
Max Range: 73m
Optimal Range: 1 - 40m

As far as I know the Gallante Weapons should be more short ranged high ROF high DPS weapons therefore either lower the SR damage slightly or buff the AR damage slightly to seperate both weapons more in combination of the optimals range change (the same DPS with higher Range for any of the two weapons would result in another imbalance)

Signed. This man knows his stuff and is fairly objective plus being eloquent and polite. The only flaw I can find with him or his reasoning is his alliance. You should come join us!

A small zoom on the SR would make a difference but I caution you not to ask for a reduction in heat build up. The heat build up is the only thing that balances this weapon vs the TAC AR. You can charge it up for more damage and this in itself is a very big reason to look at it as a superior weapon to the TAC AR. The superior rate of fire when compared to the TAC AR is also something that I see as a problem on a rifle with NO RECOIL. There is no adjustment needed when firing off a volley of shots at and individual, there is only a need to be concerned with heat buildup, which when managed correctly will never leave you waving your gun in the air to cool down. If a TAC AR user fires 10 rounds at a person, even with maxed out skills, they still need to adjust where their shots are going each time if they wish to hit the person. Not so with a scrambler rifle, you need only to keep an eye on the heat of the weapon while you keep your aim steady.

There's some incoming changes, or so they say. They're going to increase hipfire dispersion and lower clip-size on the TAR, but nothing else. I think it'll probably still be "better" than the Scrambler at that point, but I suppose if it's clear there's still balance issues after that - they may change things again? We just can't expect the changes to happen quickly.
