In the other boards I keep hearing people say we need to be nerfed because we have a move that lets us solo krayts. Either I don't have it yet or just don't know how to use any of my moves properly. What move its this?

Conceal Shot. But I have yet to get it to work even on a Kimo.

I wonder if they realise just how long that would take, even if it did work?

Dude, you didn't know about the super secret rifleman move that has all professions envious of us?

With this classy move, you can solo ANYTHING up to and INCLUDING durnis, gubbers and Mynocs!



Seriously though, does anyone have any proof that a Rifleman soloed a Krayt with conceal shot? I have heard of people "soloing" them with ATSTs, but I have not seen anything to prove that either. I think that the rifle solo krayt thing is an urban legend.


However, a creature handler in the early exploit filled days DID solo a krayt because he was able to store his pets & bring em back out fully healed. They havent been able to do that in a long while tho.

I read somewhere, that a Smuggler did this using Feign Death and a pistol bleed. The important think is Feign Death. It does not matter if you use health, action or mind bleed. Mobs don't heal.

Kryats are soloable for a rifleman, i did it once a long time ago with conceal shot, but it took me 2 hrs to kill it, nonstop shooting and countless regens, brought my rifle condition down by 150 or more. Needless to say, i never did it again. The other profession that can solo a kryat all right are smugglers with bleed/feign. Oh and yeah, any imp with an AT ST can kill kryats. An AT ST IS a Kryat w/better resists.

I agree with the last post, solo'ing with Conceal shot. Yeah I could see doing that, but why? It would take so long and you would run out of HAM and have to regen. I don't think the payoff in that case is even worth the time, unless you just want to say "I solo'd a krayt" which is pretty cool.

Also, if you miss with conceal shot, and you don't have cover on, there is a high chance the monster will break the conceal and come straight for you, so it isn't a "perfect" method.

Do you think a rifleman/smuggler could do it, using mindshots and feign death? (Feign death is available really low in the smuggler tree)

It's only cool to use conceal shot to kill a huge MOB once, the rest of the times its long and boring..... Oh and not that consistant. Never did a Krayt though.

ahhhh I forgot about concealshot. I stopped using it because everytime the I fired it the mob would swarm on me while the thing I shot just stood there, did they finally get this straightened out?

Yep, it just takes awhile. A smuggler can use any bleed shot and feign to kill something however it takes forever, and chances are some bonehead will come by and take your kill while the thing is almost dead. I was Krayt hunting this weekend and although I wasn't doing it solo, feign death was a huge help. I was out there for about 3 hours and didn't die once. At one point I suffered just under 1800 health wounds (I was on pixie and got whacked by a krayt canyon krayt). That was one hell of a night.


I actually ran into more CH's with gruals there then imps with AT-ST's

What is the xp from soloing a krayt, out of curiosity?
