since ive had my gun in my sig ive had a lot of comments about using a speed pup is stupid, im a noob etc.

Now i wanna tell u how i use it and the results.

im not braggin here but in the last 3 days ive killed 9 jedi (limited playtime maybe 6 hours) and out of them 9 jedi 7 died in the first 15 seconds. (maybe 6)


its true using this i can fire evey second but a full action bar only lasts around 15-20 (depends if im buffed up)


Now the point of this is, whats the point of having first stirke on a jedi if your not gonner use it to your full potential, just Kding a jedi them him getting up then fighting u for 30 mins, really dont make much diffrence that u had that first stike.


in that initial strike damge is comming fast and he has the chance for 1 maybe 2 heals. and a kd at the start also helps. plus the inital suprise of getting attacked so quickly.


another tactic i use with it is standing toe 2 toe with the jedi wating for my action to be full, healing and doing a range shot here or there, to get ther health down a bit but not enough to make them want to heal. when my sac is full (and hopefully ther sac is out) i do a am drink pyro kd and use all my action spammign crit head as quick as i can, this also works really well, unless u miss a lot


plus u can always change pups mid fight, if its going a long time put a sac one on yur gun and your sorted.

It sounds like you know what you're doing and your rate of success supports it. I would not worry about someone flamming you for having a different approach to the hunt which pays off.


Just because something works for one player doesn't mean it iwll work for others.

yeah, I agree with you. What's funny is before the Doc speed buff nerf, I never needed a Speed PU. I could get away with a Damage PU and still hit the speed cap with a buff. Now it would require a doc buff and the speed food that is a one time loot item.


People need to understand fighting people for 30 mins sucks. If you don't kill the Jedi in the first 30 seconds usually the fight lasts too long for my taste. As the poster stated, you get first strike, use it. Hitting every 2-3 seconds doesn't make first strike deadly at all. Hitting every second will kill most players before they can react.


before I attack I always use aim, then pyro, k/d, hopefully I can out damage his heals critical, headshot. Lets just say if they have no aura up, easy kill. With a MD and Aura with Pik Pie.....depends really how quickly the Jedi understands he needs to use stims as well as his heals to survive my initial attack. My Accuracy the first 15 seconds will almost match a MD defenses so if I lose it's because the Jedi is actually a very good PvPer.

Akast, are you also maxed out on your gen speed tapes and rifle/pistol speed, +25 in all?Im assuming you are. Ill have to check this out because Ive been using only sac pups lately. Sounds like a good shock & awe strike.

This is perfect. I am a Master Smuggler and MBH, with limited healing ability. Now I am not a big PVP and have only fought about 10 jedis resulting in only 1 kill. That was when I was a MR/MBH/CM4000. Now that I switched to MSmuggler/MBH/M0210, I dont even try jedi missions as I just dont have the fire power to hang in there long enough to enter this fight. This idea sounds like I can finally have a fighting chance.


My only question is what is your ranged speed and how much does that play a part, or is it just that you use foods and Pups to make the difference.

well thats the downside if u had infinite sac u would be invincable, so what u do is kill the jedi in the first 15 seconds.
