its OP and i would like it to stay it that way

They could create an alternate Scorpion. The UC Scorpion with the parameters as is with no changes, something of a reward for spending for early access. And the Garage Scorpion with the " fair balance parameters" with same augments when released.

Or is that too much work?

Early Release from UC is in theory meant to be luck-based. Like any other piece of UC equipment, such as exotic/legendary augments (though moreso the former since legendary augments are in regular containers now), it's on you if you choose to spend lots of money to get it. Such items, just like any other piece of equipment, is subject to change at any time to the developers' liking.

A UC Scorpion sounds weird. Why would we have two scorpions?

That makes no sense.

It's not "too much work".

It's the kind of idea that creates "broken" games.

Suggesting that buyers can have a powerful item that F2P tankers won't have a shot at  - will just result in even more players leaving.

In a way yes, you are basically demanding the OP item "to not get nerfed in a way" and abuse it in MM battles as much as possible.

The same would be demanded by other players liking different turret, like Tesla or the old Hopper users, their UC version could have the previous parameters, like the previous OP modification of Tesla or Hopper's stability with stun's ability to make the person leave the ball/flag.

Furthermore, it would make the balance changes more complicated, we are having 1 patch per week, following the change, to tweak some UC augments or their crystal doppelgängers in the garage, soon there will be a need for 1 patch per 3 days.

(UC turret/hull dupe is the dumbest idea ive heard in years)

Or hazel could finally think for at least a minute and balance turrets and hulls in a way that they fit in game without needing a buff or a nerf every 7 days. I mean its not that hard, i dont play a lot of games but i don't remember that there would be many games where half of the game's stats would change EVERY FRIDAY to the point where their own wiki helpers just gave up trying to update it so we're stuck in 2015 wiki or something.

Scorpion is the turret of promise. Just wait for it. It will come.

It should, no way Devs are going to keep it in UC I believe. But it will be introduced after some time.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I know that waiting is annoying, but we have no choice but simply wait until Scorpion is released.

[Cleric 1,385]

As I expected, this thing is perfect for campers.

8 kills and 0 death in the first 2 min of the game. What can possibly go wrong, right?

 

Hiding in spawn, holding down the mouse button and shooting rockets towards the sky that is homing and can one shot anyone across the map.

Scorpion King should be the nickname of this turret.

I haven't had a lot of problems with Scorpion rockets because I'm usually always moving and don't get targeted, but its arcade shots can make it difficult to kill

But I've just had a CP battle on Kungur (my team won, I got 1st place) where a gauss camper on the other team just hid behind some of the buildings and got 50 kills

I wished we had a Scorpion on our team that could keep targeting them

It might be perfect for campers, but it's also a camper killer and that positive might be more than the negative

Campers suck

This is 777 number. Page 7. This thread is progressing well in Scorpion talk.

You forgot the fact that if you dont use some STACKED conbos youre basically forced to camp. like even me when i use something not buyerY i get ONE SHOTTED by random --> HAMMERS <-- and railguns and all that  EVEN WITH CRISIS ARMOR SOMETIMES. like WTH??? Because of  like that i decided to become a supporter/camper using HE Shaft and camping in a spot where i can heal people at max efficiency and kill enemies so near my base mostly so im technically not camping i guess..? The point is now with our beloved scorpion its.

You camp - you get one shotted.

You attack - you get one shotted. 

Say thanks to hazel for that.

It's definitely a pity that you have to wait, but before her main release, she's just wonderful.

Do not be angry, in fact, the gun is really very good if used correctly

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I am not angry at all. I am patient for this turret's official garage release. I also expect and want other players to not be upset and patiently wait for Scorpion to be released. Do not worry. This turret will become available in the garage like the other turrets did in the past. Bonk is the only exception, which is reserved for the Arms Race mode.

Need to be extremely lucky to get this weapon out of containers

I think that this gun after its official release will show itself very well, at least now it shows itself like that)

isn't it obvious? 

[Akame 4,578]

I do know someone who got it on their first ultra container, which was also a mission ultra container, so yes, luck can rarely be very nice, or you might not even get it. A couple others also who got it from a bunch of mission ultras.

2 variants of 1 item is utterly ridiculous to hear about, especially when that means double the investment if you get both.

Still got till September for the early access to end, so far, no bugs remaining other than the projectile phasing bug which is present in all other turrets which have projectiles.

Just needs a bit more fine tuning with numbers including reload increases for arcades and synergy with certain drones.

[numericable 2,375]

Got it on a low rank alt account from the  esport livestream free promo code, its not as broken as tesla when it was released.

The sniping mode recharge is sooooo long like 20 seconds to recharge (because its only mk3)

One of my friends got it out of 7 ultra containers, so it is pretty obvious
