CanI go IMP (computer IMP) hunting with it? Is it safe? I figured if Mottled wrix's dont aggro on me using conceal shot, then computer IMPS wont either.

I have used it on Imp NPC's and i havent missed yet. So it works very well for me. I think the more times you use it though every time you shoot you have a chance of them spotting you. I think i am lucky seeing as my T21 has an ideal range of 60m and this helps me stay well out of aggro range also.

you also need to make sure no one else in the group spots you.


too bad it doesn't work on pvp imps.

Would you care to test out a 400 year old sword to see if it's decayed to condition 0? All the prior testers have no comment. Perhaps a gun which was used in WW I and still fires with high accuracy upto 1km?

If that doesn't get you, then start reading current military specifications for combat equipment.

i completed the dead eye mission and even though im 0/1/1/0 rifleman it was only stupidity on my part that got the 2 guys i didnt conceal shot to death agro'd at me.


I think there should be somechance that concealed rifleman can be seen. and not just by missing. I did over 300 shots to kill those 8 guys (they had nasty armour on with stun protection to ) and i didnt miss once.


maybe make it so that if you have a conceal skill like all the rest.of the skills. make it so that a cover drop adds to your conceal skill. that way all our sniper type shots would be conceal'd. im not saying get rid of conceal shot. make conceal shot a shot with extra conceal chance.

the trade off is your time. you can kill an order of magnitude faster with headshot2/3 or strafe2 than with concealshot. concealshot is fine for shooting at smaller pest stuff to clear it out for the main battle or weakening several larger things or just for fun. but for serious hunting it just isnt efficient or as effective as it sounds. the delay even at master is no small thing and the ham cost for the damage output is quite harsh.

it is not an uber PVE monster killing skill by any stretch. on the really big things like krayts they will more often than not de-spawn before you get them to the half dead mark.

it would of taken less time but it was a whilke before i could break out my t21 due to range / to hit / terrain restrictions

How are all the newbie riflemen gonna solo quenkers without conseal shot?

That will force rifleman to dub CH or get into a group, which is against our soloist nature.
