Rifleman Archive

Everyone's talking about kiting Snorbals and how good of exp it is...well, before I waste my money to go to Lok, how MUCH exp do you get? I'm a novice rifleman, more than half way up to my first skill (going to get mindshot2 for better bleeding damage), and so far I've been kiting Leviasqualls that give me approximately 1479 exp each...which one is better? How much HAM do Snorbals have, and what's their AR, if any? Thanks!

Oh, sorry for the double post, but it's better than making a new topic:

What SHOULD my first skill in the Rifleman tree be? Should it be Mindshot2, Conceal Shot, or Flushing Shot (yeah, I think Flusing Shot is the other one you get with the first box, it could be Startle Shot or whatever the second one is).

Youd probably be better off waiting till you have at least mindshot2 before taking on snorbals. I killed banthas mainly and other various creatures/npcs i found to 2/0/3/2 in rifleman. Now ive started snorbals. you should try banthas out of mos taike, they are good consistent xp. depending on banthas you get xp between 1k-2.5k.

Start with sniping 1 then either go to sniping 2 or move to the counter sniping tree. Take countersniping up to tier 3 then go back to sniping.

personally I would take conceal shot considering it's the only combat skill that won't get you killed if you aim properly

Mindshot will kill the target.. but gives you less experience

but the best commands for a riflemen would be warning shot and conceal shot

as for creatures to fight for experience.. I'd say BIG Creatures that don't help each other like Fumbaas, Banthas, and bolle boi or do Caves.. but if you're outnumbered you're screwed

many others too.. all regular creatures only give me 1 rifle exp and 1 combat exp.. I think I'm bugged

Can you kite banthas?

I have no boxes in rifleman, only novice. I am taking out snorbals. yes, it is hard, but if you clone first, and are a rebel (there are a lot of rebel bases around), you get good XP. Solo, i get anywhere from 1500-3776 for snorbals (depending on size) I don't use a creature, as I am still trying to get to novice CH.

Still, need Q to be answered - can you kite Banthas?

Yes, easily

Calfs give ABOUT 1500-1700 for me (grouped with a droid) and adults give ABOUT 3000-4000 (grouped with a droid).

Adults have about 10k HAM's. Not sure on the calfs, but I'm thinking 5k.

Watch out though, adult males are social. Fear not though, many of the lairs are just adult females and calfs.

Mindshot 1, Mindshot 2, Headshot, run like hell, headshot, headshot, headshot (etc.)

Yes, Snorbals are the best xp in game atm.

Grouping with pet/droid/etc gives a nice bonus.

Your best bet is to find 3 lairs right next to each other and a big area you can run around them.

Shoot each lair once so you got 12 snorbals following you, shoot each of them once before dotting them that way you get xp and they dont just die. Looks something like this...

Bleeds do 10x the # you see when you areshoot something, so a 1000 dmg bleed will do 10k dmg, mindshot1 and 2 stack also. Basically with 3 shots you can take down and get xp over 4k xp.

So aproxametly 50k+ xp for 12 Snorbals, in less than 10 minutes. Bleeds take about 1-2 minutes to do all of its dmg I think, not sure exactly on the amount of time never timed it heh. Sometimes depending on what region of LoK you are in, the elders will give over 4700xp.

3 shots, 4k+ xp, overpowered? No... just really effecient and good strategy.

Btw something I dont like, bleeds do NOT count as dmg done at all, test it out. Bleed something and dont use any other attacks, you will get zero xp and it will just die. Same goes for grouping, bleed something and headshot it once, you will only get like 1xp even though your bleed did probably over 10k dmg.

I've found that my routine goes something like this:

{prone}, MindShot2, MindShot1, HeadShot3, HeadShot3, {switch to pistol}, {stand}, {kite}, WarningShot, Peace, {Switch to Rifle}, HeadShot3, {kite}, HeadShot3, HeadShot3, HeadShot3.

With the younger ones, it's usually: {prone}, MindShot2, HeadShot3, HeadShot3, HeadShot3, HeadShot3.

I prefer using WarningShot because it allows me to yo-yo the snorbal in a defined area without running into another aggro spawn.

Completely off topic: How do you copy your window logs? I was trying to figure it out the other day to no avail.
