I dont think may people realize that you get a to-hit bonus when covered.
Is this true? I don't think it's in the FAQ, all I've heard is it 'increases ranged defence'?
the bonus to hit comes from the prone state not the cover state - as you have to be prone to be in cover you get that bonus as well

Thanks for clearing this up. Does being prone have an effect onrifle concealment chance aswell btw?
yes and no...
if you hit cover while standing you will immediately go prone but will have a tumble state applied so it is better to go prone and then into cover rather then just hit cover (so you can use specials right away)

I dont mean /takecover, I mean the 'rifle concealment chance' skill mod 
which allegedly "allows you to attack a mobile without attracting the attention of other mobiles nearby".

I've been having that problem too for the past few months. Kinda sucks cause I have to knee, shoot, then go prone

Sorry about the cover thing... I thought you got a to-hit bonus when covered. Now I dont cover anymore unless fighting NPC's
