Both variants only need more range. Noobs stop posting threads about how the SCAR is inferior to the AR.

AAAAND less recoil.

Vs the regular Ar it's fine, but against the broken one pretty much everyone abuses, it's a waste of time.

As I said before if you have issues with TAC users have a buddy pull agro while somebody else flanks or gets into CQC range.

I am not sure what you are trying to say through this video. All it shows is the AR but no SR comparison to show how the SR's recoil needs to be addressed.

The Assault variant needs less recoil. That's all I'd change with Scrambler Rifles.

Don't forget that the operation skill is useless for the assault.

How is it useless? Is the SR incorrectly not getting the bonus from the skill?

Its useless because the skill only applies to the Scrambler rifle and not the Assault scrambler rifle, so you are forced to get something that doesnt affect your gun (that gun being the assaut scrambler rifle)

We'll be making some adjustments to the rifle ranges in the near future. We're currently testing the Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle internally (the two missing archetypes). Within the assault rifle class the four weapon types will break down as follows:

Assault Rifle (Hybrid - Plasma) - short range
Combat Rifle (Projectile - Autocannon) - short-mid range
Scrambler Rifle (Laser - Pulse) - mid range
Rail Rifle (Hybrid - Railgun) - long range

Keep in mind though that long range for an assault rifle is not equivalent to long range for a sniper rifle, so while they will adhere to existing category definitions don't expect massive differences in the distances between these weapons
A lot of the original assault rifle variants (Breach, Burst, Tactical) were created to fill the gaps these newer weapons will fill and so mightGÇÖve felt out of place (not to mention we just plain made mistakes with some of them). The scrambler rifleGÇÖs optimal range will be increased and weGÇÖll be releasing an iteration of the Tactical Assault Rifle with a smaller clip and much wider hip-fire spread making it less effective in CQC. If that change alone does not prove enough we will walk the damage of the TAR down slowly. No big, sweeping changes this time.

The Gallente mimic of the Amarr tactical rifles even outperforms the Amarr. Obviously something is wrong here.

It is like North Korea trying to make a nuke, succeeding, and having it perform way better than even the Amrericans.
