At-st is going to kill you easily if your try to take it alone. Even if they change blast damage your still only going to do like 300 damage a hit or something, when its got 12k(only a guess, I am not sure the right number but its high) life thats not going to cut it.

The LP with only master marksman skill is as good as any other pistol with only those skills. Master marksman is no great feat and the rewards for having it are not that great.


Someone may be able to solo an AT-ST with just a LP but I'd have to see it to beleve it.

lol soooo you want to be only a newbie and take on an at-st? sorry pal, not going to cut it. If you got REALLY lucky you might be able to bleed and run for about 30-45 mins....but other than that you're just going to have to get better skills. All I've got are smuggler skills, but they help alot (last ditch does 1-2.5k with the launcher) but at marksman there's really nothing to help you out except the bleed....would be much more worth your time to get more skills (flame 1 helps alot with the dot as well =)

I use torso shot with the LP, it seems to get the job done. Oh, if u have pistol whip that works well with torso combo.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it... deffinitely get some advanced pistol skills. Then the LP will be worth using.

AT-ST's have approx. a 20K HAM. Go after one with an LP and only Marksman skills to back you up, and you will die. Unless you have a lot of time and patience and are able to use the Bleed, Burst Run combo for about an hour without getting incapped.


Also, remember that AT-ST's (unless you have premium armour) are 1 - 2 shot killers. In other words, you don't have a lot of time to get away from them.

If buffed, on drugs, and have food eaten, and 80%+ resists on your armor, a personal shield gen,and after the blast protection is gone (in 1-2 weeks according to the TC being updated today)... and if you have seriously spammed body shot 2... Then yeah, I'd say MAYBE you could. But if you really want to be effective, you'd have to get some more advanced moves. And you'd also need to be a medic to heal yourself if needed (and pray you dont get hit in the head).



C-3PO says the chances of surviving an AT-ST attack with just marksman skills and a LP are 32,560 to 1!

Can you use Launcher Pistol against AT ST with NO pistoleer/smugg/BH skills?

I would like something to use against an AT ST once they are vuln to blast, but I don't want to go up the commando, bh, or pistoleer lines.

Is the launcher pistol any good in pvp if only used with marksman skills?

To put it one way....the LP has the potential to be decent against PCs when you use your bleed and body shot 1, that's about it though.....i wouldn't trust myself going up against an AT-ST knowing that I can only use body shot 1 against it.

Why is everyone assuming I want to "solo" it? Also, why are you assuming I'm a "n00b"?

I will be master carbineer, with enough rifle to DB at range. I have enough points left to go up the commando line to FT4 for when I'm rushed, as well as grab feign death.

I only ask about he launcher pistol and an AT ST because I want a weapon that I can attack one with in a group, but don't want to use any points in pistol besides what I've been given in markman.
