Really? With a same optimal as a HMG? Roll

Well I'm not sure if the carthums assault sr and a hmg have the same range but just like an hmg I believe this weapon was meant for close quarters combat. I myself like close quarters combat so I guess that's why I'm content . I have scrambler rifle to prof 5 and the carthums sr does 39."something" damage and then add one damage mod. This thing can be aggressive at close range

No offense, but the thread title and OP make it exceedingly clear that this isn't a discussion about CQC
Furthermore, the ScR's primary role seems quite intentionally to have nothing to do with "close quarters combat"

CCP devs have already let it be known that they'll be "tweaking" the scrambler rifles to eleviate some of their blatant uselessness at longer ranges.
You carrying on about how you're some kind of scrambler pwn star in CQC will probably just help to reassure the devs of their decision after one takes a quick peek at your in-game stats/metrics revealing that CQC is just the only range that you've been able to eek out any usage for your little carthum (kind of lets them know that the rifle is not optimally tweaked for their intentions just yet, no?).

Weapon ranges and projectiles is something I think is client + server side fixes which requires a "Patch" to be sent to SONY. I could be wrong about the logistics but what other reason could there be

I can one-shot assaults and scouts with one charged headshot (normal shot for scout), and I can fire about 3 uncharged shots for a kill. Dedicate yourself into it.

Aero Yassavi Imperial Resurrection Organization 24	Posted - 2013.06.05 18:02:00 - [10] - Quote I just got my assault Scrambler Rifle today. I love it, but range is definitely the big issue right now. Don't necessarily think it needs a range buff but would certainly take one. As far as the semi-auto goes, range was never an issue for me.

I'm actually in agreement with you on this one. I'd be using it myself if the range was better. Oh, and SCOPE. If you're going to buff the range, give the thing a scope for god's sake.

I like its dot site just fine, but yeah it needs a little bit of a range buff. @ OP you gotta quit letting your corpmates steal your kills bro!

Well you can give it a red-dot scope like an ACOG sight just like the Tac and Burst ARs, after all. And tone down the tint, because that's a major issue. Both the Gallente and Amarrian ARs need a reduction to the scope-tint.

I suppose you are indeed right. Just comes down to play styles and opinions. A buff in range wouldn't hurt . I could really care.less. just stating what I think the weapons for.

Those are your previous TAR users. Why do you always think its "those kids" - many on here (I am doing it now lol) just lump every thing bad into the COD etc etc lot. Many of the good FPS players on here use the TAR and travel in packs. They even troll sometimes in these threads trying to get other weapons nerfed that could harm mid range AR game. Dont you think that once the ScR gets its proper range they will switch to a weapon that does similar damage but will now have even more range and less recoil. They will roll around killing people just as fast if not faster and then the nerf ScR threads will begin.
ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 289	Posted - 2013.06.05 21:16:00 - [25] - Quote Charge damage build up plus damage fall off is gonna make the ScR quite a long range weapon. It probably won't need a range buff after fall off is in place.
Sparhawk TheRubyKnigt L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 12	Posted - 2013.06.05 22:30:00 - [26] - Quote 2 things i wish for the scrambler rifle... 1) fix the operations skill bonus. it does nothing for the assault variants and quite frankly, really isint needed for the tac version either. 2) some sort of sharpshooter skill to reduce the spread on the assault variant so its a bit easier to use at range. the rounds just go EVERYWHERE unless im 10-15m away (no, its not a lack of recoil control or anything, the gun just sprays like a sparkler)
Cinnamon267 The Southern Legion RISE of LEGION 79	Posted - 2013.06.05 23:45:00 - [27] - Quote Range buff? Never had much of an issue with range. Sounds as if you're using it too much like a TAR. Which isn't too strange. It is a lot like a TAR. But, I get many, many more kills than assists. It's pretty dang effective.
