Thread: a question and a thought
Ok now this is a little ridiculous, and not really being serious, it just seems theresa lack of discussion on our boards nowadays. So i figured I'd throw this out. (i thoughtof it last night)
How many people actually their pistols? Aside from PvP..
While fighting a mark, it seems all i ever do is fire kd (possible dizzy)then spam LLC single II... always works.
What if we REPLACED the pistol line....with gadgets and...
alright **edit** this post. i'm sorry. i've come to the conclusion this will never happen, thus why i'm ending this post right now.
Sorry, but that's not a good idea at all!
The Pistol is critical to a Bounty Hunter, what isn't needed is the LLC! It's to bulky for any real BH to carry around. The LLC should be replaced with a Rifle that allows us to Snipe while prone.
The Investigation Tree should have Certifications for "Gadget Guns" that do the following:
- Trip Wire Pistol - A pistol that fires a trip cord and causes the target to trip (only effective within 20m)
- PulsarCarbine - This Carbine would hit armor and "shock" the target causing them De-equipted thier weapon (effective between 20 - 40m)
- FlashRifle - A Carbine that fires a small explosive that "Blinds" the target. (only effective outside 40m)
- In PvP, this would cause the Target to lose targeting and have a 5 sec timer before being able to reaquirea target
- In PvE this would have a 10 second timer before the target could see (or fire again)
In order to use these, you would have to equipt and fire, then switch back to your normal weapon. These "Gadget Guns" would not cause any damage, but would have a High Probablity of success. This would require that the Bounty Hunter be able to switch between weapons quickly and think quickly in order to be effective. The BH would have to keep an eye on thier distance of the target and make sure they are using the right weapon.
The point is that Bounty Hunters are suppose to "Control the Target" not"One Shot Blast" them into next week.
Just used spray/firekd/spray as oppening combo on my mark poor sap got up once fired 2 shots didnt get up again the key is comboing wish I woulda figured that out earlier now to play with carbine some! woo
Are you using the Fire Knockdown shot? If so, they will dizzy and fall back down. At least more often than not they should.

I use my pistol all the time more than any other weapon I have burning and bleeding a fella is really quite nice specially since my carbine shots dont work all that well for me sure he gets knocked down but before my next volley goes off hes up and runnin again
aye thats with fire KD sometimes dizzy will stick and actually work
most of the time it will fail
knock em down once get right back up no dizzy
make em dizzy but not knock em down
and rarely ever so rarely it will knock em down and make em dizzy long enough for me to run up and blast his arse to oblivion
but with such inaccuracy I use torso and bleed shot instead almost always hit and get the job done. I have learned do go with what works and doesnt drain your action pool in matter of seconds. Though I have yet to try getting a DH carbine speed slicing it and spamming fire kd till it stick or CDEF or whatnot. I guess its worth a try but when I can take out my marks easily without carbine why bother?
