I really hope the devs fix it so that we can use ranged combat against PVP (jedi), when was the last time you saw IG-88, Bosk, Boba, or Jango using Melee, its a disgrace to the idea of bountyhunting.

Not just an instult to BH's but to the Starwars universe at whole. Its about blasters and lightsavers, The only melee you ever see are jedi and the Emp's and Jabba's guards, and jabbas were dumb pigs, while the Emp's were force sensitive (so I heard) Other than that its all blasters. Even luke uses a blaster. Why? cause melee shouldn't work.

uh... I'm pretty sure Jango had melee skills, lemme check...

"...Jango's armoured suits bristles with weaponry including a gauntlet projectile dart shooter and a whipcord thrower. Blades deploy from the gauntlet for surprise in unarmed combat and both kneepads hold rocket-dart launchers...."

well definately blasters but with a little melee.

but of course, I agree with the fact that ingame, BHs are supposed to use blasters.

If you don't have the money to fund your equipment by all means go melee, but if you've got the cash and you enjoy the extra challenge that comes from being forced to strategize and come up with tactics, go ranged...you'll love it.

No, the dodge is the 4-0-0-0. 0-0-0-4 is melee defense.

Don't let the crowd sway you into thinking that ranged BH's have no chance against Jedi. It's simply not true. The idea that melee are the only people who can stand up against Jedi started here on the forums and it's sort morphed into the BH rallying cry. Playing a ranged BH requires cunning, guileand the money to buy some of the best weapons andskill enhancersin the galaxy.

One of the things you'll notice here on the BH boards is a lot of the players complaining about BH missions not having a high enough payout. They say they're going broke etc. If a BH has so little money that he's actually worried about the mission payouts, I can almost guarantee you he's nota well equipped Bounty Hunter! It's no wonder he gets his ass handed to him every time he attacks a Jedi with a ranged weapon!

If you don't have the money to fund your equipment by all means go melee, but if you've got the cash and you enjoy the extra challenge that comes from being forced to strategize and come up with tactics, go ranged...you'll love it.

Yeh! That's right. I've just killed the first Jedi I ever tried to take!! Geo pistol does the work for me But I would be able to do it with a good scatter pistol or a republic blaster as well. Ranged BH rules!!!!
