That's a good question really. Allegedly it invloves setting stuff on fire and letting the DoT(s)(need many applications)take it's course while you run like mad and try to stay alive.


Not sure on how succesful it is as I haven't had a chance to try it yet myself, I'd imagine it would kill your armor though (which would seem really annoying since you need 80% comp to solo that sort of thing... and buffs... and assorted foods...)

Not easy. You have to find a DeLorian and get it up to 88 miles per hour. Hopefully you get a few sparks and stuff and then land yourself in a time where Commandos can STACK burns. Then let's hope you have some meat shields. Many!


If not...then ask a Rifleman to teach you some skills and maybe watch one of them do it.


Good luck on the DeLorian! Riflemen seem quite plentiful nowadays...so try that route...or any FOTW.

hard way:

1) Get fully buffed

2) 80% comp armor

3) a few rocket launchers

4) fire away like mad, you can kill a Krayt in around 10 hits if you are really lucky (about a minute)


easy way:

1) get a few rocket launchers

2) get two krayts to fight each other

3) kill one while they fight, wait for the other to walk away, and loot

1. Full HAM Buffs.


2. Brandy and Canape.


3. 90% Comp Armor.


4. Muon For Backup.


5. Intimidate, Flame Single 2, Flame Cone 1, Repeat.


6. Heal as Needed.


7. Enjoy the loot (If you get any)


8. How's this work? Remember while Intimidated you deal DOUBLE DAMAGE while taking 50% DAMAGE REDUCTION. They will only hit you for like 50-100 DMG lol.






I'm interested in upgrading my twenty eight point eight kilobaud internet connection to a one point five megabit fibre-optic T-1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatable with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration?

I solo krayts all the time with a flamethrower. While this may not be the best technique, here is how I do it.


1) Wear full 80% kenetic composite

2) Get a flamer with the highest possible damage (to land good DOT's) I use one that is 640/1160 5.1 speed.

3) Get master doc / musician / dancer buffs and drink brandy if needed to keep your mind pool up.

4) Spam flamesingle1, flamesingle2, flamesingle2, flamesingle2, healdamage self

5) If your HAM starts getting low cancel out the combat queue and alternate between flamesingle2 and healdamage self until HAM is maxed out again.

5) Hope that nobody comes by and steals your kill. It helps if you go to the graveyard at off-times like immediately after the server reboot.


That's pretty much all I do. I have medic 2230 so I can use stim-c's, and smuggler to feign death in case things get hairy. The same technique works on NS elders and the Acklay (although with the acklay I was healing a lot more due to all the othermob's beating on me). With a double burn a giant canyon krayt goes down in 20-30 minutes.


I'll have to try it with rockets.

I solo GDK's using the following method. Flame single 1, flame single 2, get back on my bike and run til the fire is out. It takes like 25 mins to kill it at 80k ham. You could do the same to a krayt, if you had lots of time on your hands.

You can stack flamesingle1 and flamesingle2. I don't have master commando so I'm not sure if you can stack flamesingle2 and flamecone2 - that would be nice.

Sounds like you need a different technique - there are plenty of techniques above that work. Basically all the techniques I've seen involve landing a double fire dot and waiting it out (besides rockets, I tried that yesterday, I have 0040 commandoand missed like hell). I have two more techniques to add.


1) Pull the krayt up a hill. It does not seem that it needs to be all that big of a hill. Move around a bit until you get to a position where the krayt is missing most of the time, then stay there.


2) Pull the krayt towards a lair of other MOB's. This is especially useful if you are having problems keeping your HAM up. Krayt's are so aggressive that they go after anything that moves and this can give you some extra time to heal, pop a brandy, etc. It's not like a lair of dewbacks is going to outdamage you, so use them as a distraction instead.


Here is a pic of me using both of those strategies. http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=70449
