Try and get as close to them as possible, use a dx2, it does more damage then a republic blaster. If they are kiting, Lowblow. LDA does a TON of damage, but takes a while to recharge, so use it as a last resort. Supposedly Bodyshot3 is working right now, but I dont think anyone has actually tested it.

Pick up the BH pistols line. Unless they're just a really crappy pvper you'll never beat them with that template. Get an extremely good scatter (400 base damage) and an extremely good geo (300 base atleast). Buy some extremely good dodge food, canape, synthsteak, and brandy. Get a good stun psg (44% or better) and better armor (40% stun and atleast 80 base). Make sure you're fully buffed in every stat. Use nothing buy eyeshot because anything else is pointless against a rifleman/doc. Use the geo unless you get intimidated then switch to the scatter. And, (the sucky part) if they're even 1/2 as prepaired as you are you'll still probably lose if they have novice brawler (intimidate really sucks).

P.S. I really hate fighting a rifleman who is even decent at pvp. Would someone please freaking tweak them a little already (slow them down, accuracy while running 1/2 twisted, etc.). It's really pretty ridiculous.

Riflemen can be killed.... I didnt know that.

Yeah, they can. Problem is when you run into one who actually knows what they're doing.

If you want to beat a rifleman/doc. Yes.

Say if theyre a tka/rifleman?

Against a tka/rifleman you'd have a chance (but the commando portion of your template is still pretty worthless pvp wise with the exception of taking out turrets with your launcher pistol). As far as prepairation do all that i described above. Open with a warcy, unequip all weapons and make sure you're not in attack range and spam intimidate until one sticks. Then pull out either a geo or dx2, preferably both decent krayts, and use last ditch until a stun sticks. If the geo isn't doing hardly any damage it means he has a full suit of stun layer composite so switch to your dx2. Use burst run and stay atleast 30m's away from him at all times and spam healthshot 2. If you get much further than 30m it's a little helpful to switch to a good republic blaster instead. Hope he doesn't have very good medic skills.

its near impossible to get a scatter like that thats postnerf.....i just picked up a 253 damage (100 more than base ) which is around +70 tissues or so.......it got a 30% damage slice & is now 327, but if u mean w/ pup then thats reasonable.

It is impossible to get one of those post nerf. There's probably some pre-nerfs with that high of damage around on your server though. I recently got a couple more on mine. The main point was that you have to have the absolute best weapons to even compete with an average rifleman/doc as a pistol user.
