Rifleman Archive

I was wondering that myself - only solution I have with my present skills is to flurry shot, switch to pistol and use low blow. Is there an attack in the rifleman tree that has a good KD?

not certain on this as im only a novice but couldnt you use the special that induces a dizzy and then a posture change special. as when dizzied if you change posture you have a chance of falling over?

No, there is no KD.

Yes, Flurryshot 2 makes NPCs dizzy. Sometimes you can even get multiple targets dizzyas it has an area effect to hit multiple targets at once. Mostly I can get humanoid mobs to fall into a KD status, but it doesn't seem very effective on "beast/animal" type of targets or against other players.

I love using it when fighting tougher NPCs (Imperial NPCs, Stormtroopers, etc.). When 3-5 enemies are shooting at you, and you can fire Flurryshot2 and putlike 3of them on their back for a short time while you focus on 1 or 2 of the targets, this rocks !

/flushingshot2 can cause something similar, but only if they are kneeling or prone

Our makeshift knockdown is

/flurryshot1; /suppressionfire1;

Works well for people running at you.. but only works for npcs or pc's. Flurry shot dizzies them, then supp fire makes them kneel, then when they get back up, they fall over because they tried to change their posture back to standing. Then just nail em when they're on the ground

Oh and, not sure if this is in the FAQ or not but this should get spread around if noone knows it...

Use suppression fire on creatures, it is a godsend! When a graul is running after me, i just hit it with Suppfire1 and it'll stop dead in its tracks for at least 10 seconds, then it continues to run. Gives me just enough time to heal, or throw in some bleeds with better accuracy while not running. USE IT!

this was brought up in a topic called "Suppression fire" -

but, yes, a Flurry/suppression combo can potentially dizzy and force to kneel a player/NPC.

take it one step further guys- this rarely results in a KD. BUT

If you using flushingshot2, which is FORCE POSTURE UP - they will kd everytime.

Will it still knockdown an standing target?

for flushing2 to cause a KD they have to be either kneeling or prone AND dizzy.

KD/Dizzy only works on NPC's for every profession... there is no KD/Dizzy that works on animals... the equivlant would be KD/Warcry 1 or 2...butthe warcrysare brawer skills

Is there a way of getting a KD on target , and is it very reliable ?
