Carbineer at Star Wars Wiki

Scattershot, Advanced RapidFire do the same amount of damage (1.5 times a rangedshot)

Leg shot does 1.7 times the damage as ranged shot.

Scattershot should do something else too, its reported as broken and not broken several times, I got no final info on that.

Advanced Rapidfire should have a significant lower cooldown/recharge time but it is not showing yet.
Most ppl tend to report this as rapidfire is broken.

The only us of advanced rapidfire is currently that it uses a different cooldown/recharge timer than legshot, thus you can cycle between legshot and advanced rapidfire for a very fast and high damage output, leaving you quickly without any action.

Absolutely true... but ScatterShot is the better alternative, cooldown also is independent from legshot, damage is adequate to rapid fire and action costs are lower. (Also, gives you an edge in PvP against people with cyberarms... little armour on those and scatter shot "searches" for weak armour.)

So scattershot is now working as intended = it does the same amount of damage as rapid fire, although it doesnt show up in the combat spam?
Or does it show up in the combat spam now?

In addition:
Does scatter shot has the same cooldown timer as rapidfire, or another one, maybe even a different from Legshot AND rapidfire, hence I could deplete my action even faster?

That was what it looked like when i tried, though i didn't give it intense testing.

At least it still didn't last time i checked.

Hmm... i think they got seperate timers, but at least with me, if i trigger legshot and then either rapid fire or scatter shot, legshot is available again till i executed one of the other attacks. No use (at least for me) to squeeze in a third attack.

Ok, I am a (refer to sig.) and I am trying to figure out why Leg Shot does more dmg than Rapid Fire when Rapid Fire is a Master Box skill. Am I rong and it realy does do more dmg, or is it just busted? Where does scatter shot fall into play here as well? Does anyone know the one that does the most dmg? Like a dmg chart or somthing?
