Rifleman Archive

If you have at least the 5+ arm. You can go to range 70 from your target cover and do a conceal shot. Then wait for the combat music to stop and your role icon to stop flashing. Then do the shot again.
I notice that even LVL 80 mobs just stand there with the ! over their heads not figuring out where the shot came from. They do NOT walk the 10 meters toward you.

Mind you if you wait to long they heal back up. So that's why i'm experimenting with High Wound rifles to see if it actually slows down their heal rate.

The purpose is you get one or two shots before they come running at you

I think if your soloing its a good tactic i generally get the 60m away from the animal, /cover, 2 conceal shots, then a sniper shot by then there close enough that i use kick up shot (?) (gets me on my feet), then hit with knee shot then a few head shots/startle shots then BAM dead creature (althought i do occasionaly use my CM abilities)

When I'm in cover and using conceal shot I can maybe get two shots off til the npc or creature automatically goes near my position and discovers me, was that the purpose of these two worthless skills or will there be another fix

try doing this in a group, you'll do ok damage and hardly ever get aggroed. I did this the other night and didnt' get really aggroed or dmged once on an entire lair, while still doing (not great) ok damage. yes, if i use my other specials i do more damage, but also i find that if i do that i get aggroed and start taking damage, which is a big pain most of the time, especially when you have limited healing abilities.

to the person who originally posted. If you get a great rifle .. add a power up .. .. I use this to take kryats down a whole 25% before they find me (with ranged arms).. after that my buddies jump in and it works on all things, u just gotta role play yer part .. cover and conceal arent for everyones playstyle but they are definately "working" and very well i might add

thought i better add ** Juvenille Kryats and an occaisional Giant Canyon not Ancients and I dont always get them down that far but with accuracy food and a good knockdown shot once im discovered as the signal for the rest to attack .. it works

Each to his own it seems.I dont use them as I have snares, root and KD. I strongly suggest a pure rifleman making use of these 2-3 free shots, though how many pure rifleman are there these days?

I use conceal shot to scare the hell out of Jedi all the time. Even if I am not hunting them I will cover and fire off a conceal shot at a lair just to see them look around and run in a panic.

It can be kinda handy when taking on high-level stuff by yourself. You can usually get two concel shots, then a sniper shot off, it can take them down a little faster than just blasting away at stuff....
