The SCAR is overpowered because.

It has The Highest Damage of all assault Rifles ( Same damage as the Grendel )

It has Very low recoil without the aim enhance perk.

It has a very generous damage drop off range ( Damage decrease over distance )

It's Fully automatic.

It has a good rate of fire thats not too fast or too slow.

It has a 40 Round magasine by default.

It's a 6 shot kill on a fully armoured and healthy opponent.

It's a 4 shot kill on a neutral healthy opponent.

It's a 3 shot kill on a cloaked opponent with full health.


It's an all-appealing weapon that everybody who can aim at a target ( Sometimes people who can't ) can get a kill with and many of them, with ease, It's overpowered and it's making the gameplay dull since everyone knows its the best weapon in the game because of its versatility effectiveness and ease of use, Also on a side plus its not effected much by the lag issues because of the full auto capability and ease of staying on target on full auto fire.


I hope they tweak the Damage and damage drop off in a patch soon.

Put the Nerf bat back in the closet.

The SCAR is a badass weapon, but not OP'd. Grendel can take you down at range easily, especially on semi-auto. The Feline will murder you in close quarters, unless you have the drop on them. I've been running the SCAR and Feline mostly. I prefer the SCAR though because it's in between the Grendel and the Feline. The Grendel I like on semi-auto, but I haven't found good use for it on to many maps.

I agree, It is supposed to be the jack of all trades but master of none weapon but it seems to master them all hence why everyone at the high rank still uses it.

You know something is up with a weapon when 90% of the high rank players you play against are still using it.

I dont believe its over powered, if anything the pistols are under powered. I believe they got everything else right, I can kill people using the SCAR with almost everything. If I am using the Grendle on semi-auto I can ususally beat people using the SCAR also. Or at least I can . . . maybe im just that good? The only thing I cant use is the slow pistols, seriously their fire rates svck.

Here we go lets complain about gun... because people use it !

Because there not that good at the game and grendel is a little stronger it just do seem like it cuz its bust not full auto.

@blendbassist
stop crying

Theres always one weapon that stands out compared to all the others because the game has to appeal to casual gamers so at least one weapon in a game has to be above average in all catagories.

Or it could indicate they are all properly balanced and people just like the SCAR because it's familiar and has a unique camo for the LE buyers. No gun should be OP, but starting guns shouldn't be underpowered either.

Wait, so what you're saying is... It's perfectly balanced?

Balanced is overpowered?

What I'm saying is I didn't much like the implication that because high-ranking players use the SCAR it must automatically be OP, as if an entry level gun shouldn't be able to stand to weapons unlocked later.

Personally I think the SCAR is fine, it excels at being a good middle weapon, beaten by the Grendel at range and the Feline at CQ but versatile at distances between those, and that combined with the special LE skin is why a lot of players might take a liking to it.

There's not exactly a whole lot of weapons to choose from, so of course a large number of people will use the most familiar of the mere 3 weapons in it's class.

Scarab destroys Scar at close range. Ive used both a lot, and i can really say that Scar is a good all rounder (but is not the best in any particular field), the Scarab great at close range, and from what ive used of the Grendel ( i haven't used it much) the Grendel excelles at long range.

K-Volt and Feline are best close up. Sniper beats all at long range. Assault rifles win at mid range.That sounds about right to me.

Also as has been said its very important to ensure that all weapons have a clearly defined role, like Scarab CQC assault rifle, Scar medium, Grendel long etc.

The Marshal is definitely underpowered simply because it has so little range and slow rate of fire even with rapid fire.
