I hear startleshot is the best Rifle special and i hear people cry about it.
But what is it that makes it so powerfull?
Can someone give me examples?
Thx in advance

Use underhand shot, then spam startle shot, startle shot prevents any action of any kind. Which means they cant even use knockdown recovery, or heal there damage, it lasts 6 seconds, and the recharge is 7 seconds, very powerful, soon to be nerfed, use it while you can and laugh at the jedi that cry sploit.

Because it makes it where the target can't attack for a brief period of time, but you would've known that if you read the description.

I use it to keep jedi from healing within my first four or five shots... Many 226k knights have dropped before they could get a shot off.

Yes but i thought that it would break on damage.
So its basically like pre-cu warcry?
Also why spam it? Im thinking that underhand, startle, adv critical + adv headshot? and then startle after?

Wow, you are dumb...why don't YOU read the description of the shot
Startle Shot
This ranged attack directed in front of an opponent an sweeping towards them causes minimal damage but will force them up a posture level. (typo's and lack of punctuation are correct)
Hmm, nowhere in there do I see that the target can't attack for a brief period of time, but that may just be me. Now, if you would have said that disarming shot does this, I would agree with you, but then you would have to lose your 4000cm to pick up the pistol lines.
In review, repeat after me, startle shot is not supposed to delay your target, it is a BUG.

I believe it is advanced startle shot that stuns them. I can't remember though and I'm tired. It's 3 a.m.

Yeah it stuns em. Here is a direct quote from avd startle shot, "This enhancement to the Startle shot ability increases the amount of damage and delays an opponents ablilty to attack back for a short period." and to the original poster I'm sorry about sounding mean, not sure if you're master rifleman, would of thought you had a pretty clear discription of what it does. To oddof, I'm not sure if the first two startles delay the target(if they do, they need to be fixed) but the avd one clearly states that the target can be dealayed. And again to the poster I'm sry about coming off mean.

Startle prevents any attack, it will allow healing though. It breaks on dmg and the timer i believe is a little more then the delay which is 5 seconds, it blocks knockdown recovery because it is considered an attack.

actually startleshot and disarming shot, and concussion shots will all get a longer cool down. They are supposedly considered bugged for right now, and will be fixed in publish 20. So don't get too cocky it's not because you are that good.
why you would consider spamming 2 shots over and over again fun anyways is beyond me.
