Nope


You can put in variable levels of charge, happens to me all the time by mistake because i my first button press sticks sometimes when i use my mouse. It unequivocally raises the charge meter.

Also yes half charges work extremely well in a triple tap type of shot. Half charge follwed by 2 rapid shots usualy drops most people.

ffs, change the title of your thread then. If you're reporting a bug, SAY IT'S A BUG.

SR abuse?

ScR is one of the few weapons CCP got right.
Anyone complaining about it is going to complain about every gun they either don't use or are killed by.
Go play Harvest Moon.

It's not just about a bug, the fact that you can squeeze out more shots with a modded input is just a byproduct of looking at everything else.

Even if a modded Scrambler Rifle hit overheat at.. I think 11 was the upper threshold someone mentioned getting manually... even at that limit you're still looking at hitting almost 850 dmg from those 11 shots and at 705 rpm that's about a second worth of firing.

That's almost double the damage you could get out of the actual prototype assault variant, all out of a 1500isk standard weapon.

This is why it's more about the abuse of the high ROF on a high damage weapon than the overheating "bug".

The Scrambler Rifleis one of the few weapons CCP got right... if it's used the way it was intended.

It was intended to be a semi-auto weapon with a rate of fire limited by human input. It was not intended to be an automatic weapon with a rate of fire limited by the 705rpm upper limit. This is where the problem lies.

You realize only a few people could pull that off most people would miss atleast a few shots unless the target is standing still then it wouldn't matter a headshot would kill you

Oh really, so they just randomly decided 705 rpm because they didn't expect people to actually be able to shoot that fast?

Even as a pure scrambler user since I came out I'm rarely able to pull off such a clean kill.

Glad someone else could confirm the damage difference. I was pretty sure about it, but not 100%. I wasn't really clear when I mentioned it in that second post, but the problem wouldn't be a difference in damage-- 20 ever-so-slightly charged shots spread across an overheat SHOULD do more damage than 20 charged-slightly-less ones fired rapidly. The problem would be if the latter did the SAME amount of damage.

That's what I'm saying I skilled into it the first day but got tired of overheating so I went to the tar, its not as easy as people think you can't spray with it like you could with the tar..op obviously never used a scrambler

So it didn't even take 24 hours for most of of the turbo button TAC users to switch over to Scrambler Rifles huh?

It takes 20 shots before the Scrambler Rifle overheats, at 72 damage a shot and 705 rpm that means you're spitting out about 1440 damage in roughly 1.7 seconds or almost 850 damage a second... for a weapon that costs 12440sp to unlock and 1500 isk a pop.

The advanced assault variant only manages 440 damage per second because it correctly has a lowered damage to account for its max rpm, half the damage for about 12 times the price and 25 times the SP invested.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

THE LASER RIFLE IS OP. I GOT KILLED BY IT ONCE.

Apparently.... The faster you shoot with the Scrambler rifle, the slower it heats up...

If this topic is correct then a SCR with a modded controller is indeed OP.

The good news is the "nerf" the OP suggests would actually be a huge buff for anyone spacing their shots.

Don't care if it gets nerfed or not though really. If it doesn't I'm going to use the hell out of it.
