DUST Search - An Evalutation of the Scrambler Rifle...

Due to todays respec I was finally able to get my hands on the Prototype tier of the SR and play tested it a bit. Now, in my previous mentionings of the SR, I have always said that this is the most balanced gun in the game currently at least where the semi-auto variant is concerned. However, there is a big problem with the full-auto variant of the SR that I have noticed still makes me vastly inferior to the AR.

In my opinion, the semi-auto is perfectly balanced and does not need to be touched at all. The full-auto works as intended and I am fairly happy with it except with the ridiculous recoil I get from firing it. Now, I was under the impression that the SR was supposed to be superior in damage in shields, which it is, and great at mid range...which it is not.

The very noticeable recoil on the F-A SR makes it grossly inferior to the AR and even its S-A SR brother.

It didnt take long for me to realize just how much an edge the AR still has over the F-A SR when I play tested the AR after and had virtually no recoil whatsoever!

Initially, I thought that the F-A SR's recoil should be comparable to the AR, but if lazer weapons are supposed to be superior in mid to long range, then if anything, the recoil beween the AR and the F-A SR should be switched.

Adding the F-A SR's recoil to the AR would also be a good balancing factor as well I believe.

I've already thought of asking the DEVS to make the Tac AR to have more recoil, but if the SR gets less recoil... THAT WOULD MAKE MY DAY!

The AR is the work horse of Dust, has been and perhaps always will. I am sorry to hear about the SR, I went proto as well when they came out and it did not take long to realize that what I had been saying about the AR was indeed true. It is a fun tool (SR), but some tools just do not give you the best bang for your buck (SP)

Threads like mine are trying to make it less so by telling CCP what should be considered with the balancing between the AR and all other weapons by bringing to attention all the faults and strengths of the current build.
