502 hides

Rock.

Mindshot 2 + Mindshot 1 from max range. Started running before the first bleed kicked in. Had my Spraystick in hand when he finally started charging. Ran him off a couple times. Popped him with Headshot 2 a couple times to make sure I got the XP. Basically just kept him 70-80 meters away until he dropped. The zany terrain of Dathomir prolly helped. I swear that planet has more geography than it knows what to do with...

I've never gotten more than 4500 or so xp for ANYTHING. It seems like there's a cap or something... killing FS guys with 15k ham, medium armor, and 80% resists across the boards gave me under 4k pistol xp (used mindbleeds, hit him once with a pistol, and then feigned death yeah I'm uber). I get the same xp for killing giant baznitches, which have like 0 armor, and hit about 10 time less hard than the FS guys.


I wonder what kind of xp you get for soloing a krayt?

soloing one of tem is in possible even if you got a pet that can take it. It switches agro like every 3 seconds so you might become a target and get one shoted.

Its not impossible. I have yet to see one switch targets from my graul mauler pounding on it.

VolstedGridban...


(Good work on the weapon stuff in the other thread.)
I'm not sure I understand the Rancor thing (never hunted them). But I've probably killed at least 200 mountains squill in my career and they're around4500 XP each. I'm not trying to rain on your parade... I'm just trying to find out what the challenge isin case Iwant totry what you did. What planet are they on?

They spawn on Dathomir and are cl75 if I am not mistaken. A friend and I were killing them with conceal shot awhile back, took about twenty minutes and one did insta kill us at 64 meters. Think that was a bug since we were on a hill.


Nice feeling when one of those big mothers drops though.

Using a **edit** is not soloing. Volsted soloed that ancient bull rancor. Pets = no respect.

Heavy Armor. 40% Energy Resist. 14k HAM.

Never gone after mountain squills, so dunno how they stack up.
