Thread: Soloing Krayts...
They can be soloed...but why the hell would you want to even waste the time?
FFS take some friends and kill them.
I solo 20 or so krayts a day.
My formula for killingis as follows:
My Professions: I'm a Master Bounty Hunter, Master Rifleman, Pistoleer 0004. But you can be effective with any profession that allows you to slow the krayt and hit ranged or if you're a tank just stand your ground and let em have it.
My Armor & Weapon: I use a suit of 7k kin composite with 5-6k elemetal for killing krayts and a 1145 max damage 82 sac 568 dps heavy lightning rifle as my weapon. I would recommened having high kinetic armor with a rifle
further you can stay from the krayt the better) that has 82 sac
the minimum) and decent damage
750-1000 is fairly easy to find and usually under 300k if you shop around).
My Attacks Used: Cover Shot,Critical Shot, Head Shot, Torso Shot, Underhand Shot, Knee Cap Shot, Stopping Shot, Sniper Shot.
My Buffs: I usually use no buffs at all because I have a 82 sac rifle with a 21% stock on it which gives me low 60s in sac. You should go for any type of action regen increaser if you are running out of action.
My Droids: Sometimes if i'm feeling frisky and lonely I'll use a probot but it's not needed and only really makes things slightly easier.
My Tactics: Asuming you are doing wild spawns there will be a canyon and a juvi, If they are far enough apart (about 30+ meter to be safe) I snare, torso, crit, head shot, cycle between crit and headshot till bleed wears off and then stick another torso, when snare wears off I hit it with a stopping shot and then this is where you can be real tricky or safe. You can continue running and keepcycling your crit and head or soon asyou see that the root stuckyou drop to prone, click aimed shot and then sniper,then stand and continue to hammer it with crit and head(usually by the time I stand and take a shot it's un rooted and barreling towards me) add in a snare and repeat till it dies.
If the krayts are too close together I cover, pick the one closest and use cover shot, wait about 5-10 seconds and hit it with another cover shot, then get up and snare and do as I stated above. This keeps the other krayt from attacking.
Run Down:
Snare slows the krayts down to about equal your speed, the juvis are fast so you gotta keep a eye on them and have your knockdown ready if they get too close. The grands are sluggish so you can usually half-ass it without trouble, mind you if they get too close it can hurt.
Root is a obvious tactic as it gives you time to put distance between you and your target or setup some combos like aim and sniper.
Headshot and Crit are agruably the two best cycled attacks and they do hella damage specially when a crit hits.
Bleed is just generaly nice to hinder the krayts health regen.
The aimed and sniper combo takes some practice and can get you hit if you arent careful so I would recommend getting some practice with just kiting using the tactics I provided till you're comfortable.
Overall I suggest practicing with your template. Use your slowing shots and your stopping shots as needed and keep a knockdown ready incase you screw up and it gets too close, cycle your two best attacks over and over and it WILL go down. Takes about 5 minutes for me to kill a krayt so there is no need to call your buddys to come and help.
Krayts ARE soloable and it doesnt take a god with a 50 million dollar setup to take one down. I've done it with a 750 damage rifle and no armor. Just remember to keep yourcrap together, if it starts to bite you dont freak out, knock it on its ass or stopping shot it and pop a bacta or a stim.
But soloing em is a true pain and you can kill them 3 to 4 times faster with a partner.
I usually group with a jedi hunting pearls, he/she gets pearls, I get tissues, we lotto everything else. Works beautifully.
