It is ineffective against groups of enemies. Even if you kill a scout with a charged bolt to the head, you will have to wait for it to cool down. Plenty enough time for an enemy to shoot you with a militia AR and kill you. Not to mention that if you overheat you take damage and can't even run afterwards. The SCR doesn't even shoot till you let go of the trigger. Can't even distract your enemy with a nade while overheating. The range is pretty bad, what is it, slightly more than an Assault SMG?

The Scrambler Pistol(SCP) is better than the SCR in all ranges? Why is a pistol better than a rifle? Off topic but, why is the Flaylock better than the MD, for that matter? What's going on!?

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or what: When I charge shots to their maximum and shoot at still targets, I will occasionally miss. Though, if I shoot at the same exact spot with a less than half charged shot, it will hit. If the gun actually gets less accurate when charging, that is some BS.

I know the in-game description says the gun is unreliable, but I think we agreed they went overboard

I have pondered this question ever since my services with the Amarrian Special Forces. I have found two answers. 1: It isn't the gun that kills, it's the person behind it. 2: If there is a defect with the weapon, it is most likely the soldier who is defective.

The best solution in most cases is just to replace the soldier.

well i guess O'l Viktor up there just made a few sentences to say you suck with the SCR and put sugar and sprinkles on it but i agree if you can hit a still target with the gun its just sad at that point

ARs need overheat or jamming.

Burst your shots, oh noes.

Might finally give a reason to use burst AR.

I switched from ARs to SCRs. Never been happier.

Scrambler rifle is a marksman rifle, meant to take down targets at mid range, and it is exceptional at that. If you find yourself frustrated with overheating a lot, you are not using the gun correctly. To OP, what you are saying is merely your own opinion, but I have rarely lost a 1v1 gun battle at mid range with the SCR to any AR (post TAR nerf). What you are saying is that the SCR sucks because you can't take out groups of enemies? You must be dense, no matter what gun you have, taking on a group of enemies alone is near suicide unless they are all mlt gear newberries.

The great downside the SCR has is it's close range battle capabilities, which have two different outcomes usually. If someone is close to me in smg range, I use cover to charge a full shot, then peek and unload it as accurately as possible to the chest. Two shots follow up for a kill. The other outcome is I miss the charge shot, and then attempt to pace shots which rarely works vs a close range opponent.

So your whole argument that the Assault Rifles are better than the Scrambler Rifles is absurd. No assault rifle can hold a candle to someone who has a good working knowledge of a Scrambler rifle at mid range. But since the assault rifle is a close range weapon, it naturally excels over a mid range weapon in that area.

Scrambler rifle has way more range than a pistol or a an AR. May not seem much in numbers but it's actually a big difference (18m max ; 6m optimal)

Duvolle Assault Rifle
Max Range: 71m (-16)
Optimal Range: 1 - 42m (+3)
Meta: 8

Imperial Scrambler Rifle
Max Range: 87m
Optimal Range: 1 - 48m
Meta: 8

Carthum Assault Scrambler Rifle
Max Range: 76m
Optimal Range: 1 - 30m Very odd knowing that Gallente AR is supposed to be the short range AR type.
Meta: 9



It's called random bullet spread. And most FPS use that now.. (sadly). It means that when you aim at a specific point, the gun wont fire exactly on that point but there will be a slight random effect depending on the weapons stats. I dont get why it's so frequently used when good all actual recoil and crosshair shaking is both more realistic, less frustrating and more skill demanding.



I disagree, standard scrambler rifles have their use and are deadly in specific situations. Assault variant live up to AR.

LOL threads like these make me laugh. Considering I can face a proto heavy head on and overpower them with the dmg from my imp scrambler I think your point is null and void. I OHK any suit adv or lower that is not a heavy (with a full charge). Of course if you are trying to buff the scrambler I will just laugh even more because then my pwnage will become so much better. In reality the ARs were nerfed pretty hard with the tac nerf. It remains to be seen as to whether the caldari/min rifles will be useful but the scrambler is definitly the current pwnage weapon.

And you are Amarr? No wonder those Minmatar rebels kicked your butts. Any weapon has got to be better than the Scrambler Rifle and Laser Rifle :P
