What is the best rifle to use in combat, in terms of damage per second and reload time. I use the Tusken rifle, and it does great damage, but it takes about a year and a half to reload. Is that considered a normal speed for a rifle? I'm about halfway through learning rifle 3 of marksman. Any tips on weapons or which mobs to fight would be appreciated.

Well player made weapons may all have different stats, so there's no way to say that a particular rifle class is best, you have to go by each individual rifle's stats and also make sure those stats match your style. Build a relationship with a weaponsmith and tell them what you like and they can make you a custom rifle. Most people give regular customer's a slight discount as well. Powerups can make a big difference in performance as well.

Well I have a DLT20a and it does more damage than the Tusken and has a faster attack speed, but the ideal range is lower.

Take a look at the Rifle skill and notice the Certifications you get everytime you go up a level. That's a pretty good gauge of how good a gun is, except in the case of the Jawa Ion Rifle. That thing is useless.

In any case, keep your Tusken even if you get a better rifle. It has a 60m ideal attack range and is perfect for sniping creatures and pulling one towards a group.

Hey,

I am not a rifleman but I recently looted a rifle and wanted to get your guys opinion on it=)

Skill mods- Taking Cover 23, Dodge 11, Terrain Neg 12,

Damage- 7-77 2.0 seconds with 12% wound

Dot- Mind poison, 263 str - 140 duration - 47% potency - 6488 uses

Thanks for any input, basically i want to know if these are common or even useful. Looks to me like it would be a good first shot PVP weapon but like I said I really have no idea. Thanks in advance

Sounds like a spraystick?

The speed is awesome (2.0 seconds) but the damage is pathetic (77).
Wow, slice it for 30%, add a 33% power up, and BOOM, you havea max-damage 133 killing machine! I could be the next master nuna-killer!

Yeah it is a spraystick =)

Any idea if the skill mods or Dot are any good? I figured 77 was pretty pitiful for damage
