Thread: Sniper vs. Conceal skills
Alright so I'm a novice rifleman (obviously) and I'm trying to decide which column to advance first. I've heard alot of people talk about how ineffective headshot3 is. However what I'm really interested in is Sniper Shot. The description in game only says that you can DB players at range. Is this all its good for or does it also do uber damage to NPC and so forth as your would expect sniper shot to do? Also how effective is conceal shot? could i fire into a enemy fort/base at targets do decent damage and not have them come after me?
Sniper shot is good only for PvP deathblows.
Conceal shot allows you to continue shooting your victim without your victim being able to detect where you are. Two caveats to this however.
1) You only remain concealed until you miss.
2) You cannot target a particular pool. It's random just like the default attack mode.
Theoretically given high enough levels of accuracy and the AIM skill you should be able to kill most creatures before they detect you.
Theoretically.

I use AIM+Kneel+Conceal Shot. Never ever miss from Ideal Range. As long as it doesnt BAF, I kill it.
Just curious, I dont have the skill yet...but, why do you kneel and not go prone?
