Hey guys...i noticed alot of NEW rifleman posting so i figured i could give u some tips pvp wise....
my make is
M rifleman
4440 doc <<a must
Nov BRAWLER < A MUST if u pvp
....................................................
ok first off the famous question....CAN RIFLEMAN KNOCK SOMEONE DOWN :::YES U CAN....
in marksmen xxx4...u get suppression fire which is a posture change...and flurry shot 2 in rifleman which is a dizzy....
it takes some finese...but after u stick a dizzy,,hit ur pos change shot,,,AS SOON as the hit thier knees,,,do headshot3..and take them right to thier ass...this is HARDER on d stackers so i suggest u have accuracy food that doesnt take much stomach space...when their down headshot them a few times..then shoot them with flurry shot 2 again to restick a dizzy....
on next....if u got novice brawler.....INTIM the shi.t outta people cause us rifleman dont have much defense....and REMEMBER warcry is ur friend..they cannot heal states//etc while warcried.......this brings us back to the knock down after u stick a dizzy on them and u know how to knockdown ur opponet EFFECTIVELY..warcry them before u kd them so they can instant heal/stand out of the kd......
weapons wise.....alot of people prefer jawa's which are good...but most people dont have high resist to energy and t21 is ap3...i suggest u start out with ur t21 if ur not hittin for over 100 dam a shot switch to ur jawa,,,if its not gettin it done...switch to which does most damage and pray for a kd so u can get a lesser damage reduction......IF u come against a JEDI...i personally suggest a dxr6b disruptor...cause its more accurate..and jedi can block shots like a mofo......
skill tapes: ACCURACY WHILE MOVING....<<a must have......RIFLE SPEED +7 will speed cap u.....
a few other things...somepeople use strafe shot 2 alot in pvp...DONT DO THIS...its RANDOM HAM....and us rifleman dont have enough DEFENSE to stand up to stackers for very long...our battles are short and sweet..take ur opponet out as fast as possible.....also if u fight another rifleman...EAT DODGE FOOD...it will give u a big advantage against them.........
ok armor wise...rifleman eats our mind like a mofo...all the armor u need to wear is ...gloves/chest/helmet/boots...u dont need anything else...less armor = less encumberance...
anyways i hopes this helps someone.. i pvp daily and own alot of people with this stuff....so maybe it will help u own too 8)

Whats the best way to take down heavy duty PVE? I went to the Geo caves last night and the dam Enhanced Kiwi killed me within 2 mins. I also had the same happen to me against the Kimo's.

Nice tips. One edit I recommend though, they hot fixed armorover a week ago - watch your combat spam when not wearing pants, biceps, and bracers and you'll see that you now are hit 100% through those areas. Alsorecommend dxr6 for weapons - I haven't seen a jawa in ages - stun armor +psg = no damage with a jawa while psg's are vuln to acid and the range mods are best in the game on dxr6's.

Nope. Nor does it knock anyone down reliably enough to be an acceptable PvP skill. Unless you PvP with newbies.

Two comments:
Strafe Shot 2might not be useful in one on one, armored/buffed PvP, but that is not the only kind of PvP out there. True, it is in our best interest to slam the mind, but Strafe2 is not uselss. I have fought in large scale battles (base attacks and the like) and used Strafe2 on groups of other players to a fair effect. When you spam it, you will do damage, and if that damage is merely enough to scare them off and break their unit cohesion, then it did it's job. Perhaps it's not our best PvP special, but it's not uselss...you merely need to know when to use it. Another example is in unbuffed PvP; a volley or two of Strafe2 should be more than enough to drop any unbuffed/unmodded/unarmored player if you're using a half decent rifle. Granted, this doesn't happen often, but it can happen.
Dodge Food? Riflemen do not benefit from the Dodge skill mod. Now unless the Food (Air Cake I think) somehow allows us to have (and use) Dodge, then there is no reason to eat Dodge food. Synthsteak, Ahrisa, and some of the other choices (Foods that protect against KD and enhance accuracy) seem to be much better choices for the PvPing Rifleman. I may be wrong on the Dodge thing though, so if someone knows to the contrary...correct me.

Did they re-add this recently??????
(ALL) Accuracy while moving was a Beta mod, it was removed before Launch (like rifle crawl speed).

I've never seen it not in-game. We have +10 Rifle Accuracy While Moving at MR and there are plenty of tapes to be had for it out there if you look hard enough

Are Jawa Ion or DXr-6b rifles good against Jedi NPC's like the ones you have take out for your Padawan trials?
