Use state changes on them..they generally have no defense. Oh and eyeshot specifically, high acid resist helm.

Assuming acid damage from a BH nowadays can be a leathal mistake. The pistoleer techniques tree is an easy get for BH's with the new skill reduction, meaning Geo pistols combined with eyeshot. Best advice? Use an anti kd food, and makesure you stick stun to reduce damage, and dizzy to keep them from burst running from you (or at you to DB). Hot key canape, synthsteakand muon, of course.If you haveranged support, using a posture down attack can sometimes KD if they are dizzy. Even if it doesn't, you have another chance at it with startle shot, making them stand from kneeling. With the right template, BH can be very nasty now. A master BH that knows how to make best use of their skills is not going to be an easy fight, no matter what. Good luck.

Get a really nice stun layered helmet or a godly helmet and a PSG. Geo pistols are AP0 overrated pieces of crap. A generic PSG shaves off 50% of the damage just for being there and THEN add in the resists.


If you had anything to worry about its if the BH whips out a DE-10 (energy damage). Always keep a few PSG's handy just in case. Your headshot will beat his eyeshot any day of the week unless you have gimp weapons. Dont rely solely on a Jawa either.

Also use brandy.


Brandy, with PSG, and a good helmet nulifies eyeshot into a worthless special. With this setup I've seen BH's kill themselves faster than they kill me.

the main advantage of eyeshot is that it can be used with a nice scatter that only takes one tissue to krayt and that it only takes a few more skill points to do to you what hedid and use that carbine tokeep you on your back the entire fight. If he has alittle carbineer there is no reason a mbh should ever let a ranged combat prof stand up for long.


However on streight damage you will beat him hands down every time. the jawa is far superior to the geo and the T21 tops the scatter

Just get some 40 stun 85 base armor, they might get your mind a quarter of the way down before you stand up.

Here's another one. Try taking a knee sometime. It lowers their accuracy against you and raises yours. Their running around spoils their accuracy even more even if you are sitting still and vice versa. Smack then with a flurryshot and suppresion fire and their running will cause them to KD/dizzy themselves.


Stick with a DXR-6B. If they have a PSG (which they probably will) the acid will bypass it. The accuracy bonus on the dxr are incredible too plus it packs a bit of a punch.


Max out your MIND. They have a MIND bleed and so do you. You get AP2 or 3 depending on your weapons, better accuracy, and more damage. In a contest of even MIND pools you should win against a BH/pistoleer everytime.


Always have your own PSG even if its a gimpy little 9% psg. Too many BH's like fencers think that if its stun is uber. PSG's turn that million credit acklay stun baton into survival knife as far as damage goes. Get a droid and stack if with a few including your stun armor. If you're worried about HAM then just get a stun layered helmet, chest, and legs. The PSG will cover the rest of those randomly hit spots and will double up your protection over the layerd armor. When they go for that torsoshot to set you on fire it will hit for minimum damage and put a tiny DoT on you instead of a huge one.


Pikatta pie and synthsteak are your friends. One helps you dodge and the other helps you shrug off the damage when you dont dodge. When it comes to a non-healable pool attack even one dodge can make a big difference.

Another quick question, would i have better luck stickin the state effect using FlurryShot 1 or FlurryShot 2? I'm guessing FS2 would do a bit more damage and have a better chance on sticking, am I correct on that?

FlurryShot 2 would have the same chance of sticking as would FlurryShot1. Only difference between the two is that FlurryShot2 is an AOE, meaning it would hit more than 1 person with a single shot, not that it would give you a greater chance of sticking it on one person.
