MBh MRM eh?

the answer is Heavy Lightning Rifle then ( the old LLC ), its a rifle nowadays, so all ur rifle acc, speed and defence counts for it and it also can be PUP'd. if u get 4 nice krayt tissues or power cells ( +160 dmg or more ) ull get a nice weapon with around following stats :

460-1120 dmg ( + 40 elemental dmg )

unmod speed 2.7

acc bonus 21-60 ( depending on the scopes.... crafted up to +21, looted up to 60ish )

wound 30%

unmod dps 340

SAC 85

... this all for sure depends on the components u get and the WS. but the HLR has a very high potential, looks cool and is a real BH weapon.... other choices could be the Advanced Laser Rifle ( nearly same stats, just no elemental dmg, tho higher max dmg possible ) and the trandoshan hunter Rifle mark 1B ( a very nice and unique piece.... higher minimum dmg then the ALR possible, other stats nearly same..... but u need a rare trandoshan hunter barrel, loot from Avatar or Secet of Syren quest ) ....good luck for finding ur right choice

QFE

And if your hunting jedi, you may want to consider changig your template. i started out as MBH/mrifles but found it very hard to take full temp jedi. now, with mcm its sooo much easier. the debuffs rock, as does fire + poison

best weapon against jedi is your brain.

The way you engage the fight is sometimes the way to win even with a 10M credits rifle.

Then, the best weapon is the on that fits you

Some prefer pistols
Some other like carabines
Some other only have eyes for rifles.

I personnaly try use all kind of weapons (but tend to only use pistol and rifle)
Pistols : good damage, low range but also low sac and low movement hindrance (perfect to run away and shoot)
Carabines : big damage, mid range, mid sac, mid movement hindrance (perfect to run/snare/hit far from danger)
Rifle : huge damage, big range, big sac, big movement hindrance (long range damage -> get ready to burstrun with this one ! Especially when you know that snipershot is a prone move)


Good pistols (you will need enhancer to have good ones)
Scatter
Featherweight FWG5

good Rifles
Advanced laser rifle
Trandoshan laser rifle (almost the same as ALR for the stats, but cool design)
Heavy lightning rifle that has the biggest damage potential (if you cap damage and speed, but since low sac is a must have, you'll have to choose)


Remember that the good weapon is the one you are used to. I spent the last 3 months with SAC 95+ rifles without any problem because i was used to high sac costs. Now i got a SAC 82 HLR, i can feel the difference, but i'm not perfectly used to it's full power yet.

Yes but with rifles is it possible to lock down and kill a Jedi before he gets to you?

With only BH/Rifle, you only have a snare to reduce movement, a KD, and startle shot (5 seconds daze)

So in most cases, the jedi WILL reach you.
That's why a lot of BH get MCm to paralyse/debuff/heal themselves and take the rifle xxx4 for rifle speed.


But after a few fights, you will learn when to fire a special in order to keep the jedi away from you (even if it's hard because player AI is much better than NPC one they can adapt themselves to your attacks)



If you want the jedi NOT to be able to reach you, you'd better get some smuggler skills (snare, root, concussion shot, etc), but that does not mean you will kill him... Jedis aren't only melee effective, some of them can also hit you from distance....

And some that are new comer jedis still have classical skills.... that could include TKA for the innate armor and some rifle skills to hit you even from distance.

Either use a t21 rifle or advanced laser rifle. They can be found at almost any weapon vendor and can be sliced to do a heck of alot of damage. My t21 im using does like 450-1100dmg. Speed aint to bad either. And the advanced laser rifle has awesome accuracy. U can buy both for about 10-20k.

Good luck.

If your 'lucky' enough to be a wookie, I'ld reccomend a top notch bowcaster

All the plus sides of a trando/HLR...but kinetic damage

shame only wookies can use them..darn carpets

I'd go with an advanced laser rifle.

If you have enhancers, you can get a really nasty rifle.
