Is it really worth it to master marksman? I mean +5 doesn't sounds like much (I mean you get +90 out of a possible +95 with just rifleman)


but im not educated on how the speed increases work.


Maybe it's exponential and +5 actually is alot?



once again I call on the Riflemen's infinite wisdom.....

For now its really worth it, but a speed cap is going to hit us soon, and it will be worthless after that.

There will be no speed cap.(Wishful thinking? We'll see....)

The difference between +90 and +95 is this....

• Strafe 2 with +90 speed mod can be used approx. once every 2.5-3 seconds (non-speed sliced rifle)


• Strafe 2 with +95 speed mod can be used approx. once every 1-1.3 seconds (speed slice on rifles become irrelevant)

I dunno the exact math, so this is just to give you an idea of what the difference will be based on my personal experience. One thing for sure is that the extra +5 is NOT 'just a bit more speed' as you may be lead to believe. Think about it this way....how did you feel when you went from 4/4/4/4 to Master? Yeah, it's like that

I dun think it is really worth if you only goes for Master Rifleman. The reason is, you have to spend skill pts on Pistol and Carbine skill box in the Marksman tree which you seldom use. This skill pts can be saved and used on other profession like Medic or scout skill.

for a master ir doubles your spd. Its all relevent though as i want to keep novice medic and survayor along with my Rifleman/CH combo for the time master marksman is not worth it for me.

i bought rifel speed modds, so i dont need MM anymore but its realy worth it. i tested it with another master sharpshooter he had a +8 speed mod me nothing but master SS. He was shoting twice as fast.

So if you get skill mods theres no need for MM.

But the accuracy and ranged defence mods are good too

i have some nice speed attachments.....+12 rifle speed +8 rifle speed....+7 rifle speed...not sure if im gonna sell em...i mean...if MRM is capped at 1 sec....whats the point wif a mod ?

Personally,I would never sell those.I would use one at a time and gain all those master marksman points back. Clothesonly decay on death, so you are going to use the attachments for 300 deaths plus any successfull fixes on the clothes. However, those would go for some ridiculous prices...I know I paid 450k for +3 speed and never looked back, had to outbid a couple of people for this. In essence, you're paying for skill points, and those aren't cheap.

same here i bought a +25 rifle skill ehanced cloth for 1 million credits and saved my 29 skill pts. BTW +115 rifle speed is heaven, and you get there so fast draining your own mind

Master marksman is not worth it, but 2 million credits for skill tapes defenently is. I have a +7, taking me up to 97, so i think i can shoot any special on up to a speed 12 rifle at the speed cap. Just start looking at your forums and talk to bounty hunters. You should be able to shake a few +rifle speed tapes and attatchments loose.

I wouldn't say that after the speed cap it will become worthless... let's not forget a combo system is coming in... with master marksman you may be able to combo more shots than someone with out it.

speed cap will make rifleman worthless. But for now the +5 is very noticable. However, its much wiser to purchase a +5 rifle speed taper or attachment than waste god knows how many SP on MM.

and my +6 rifle speed santa works just great at 0/100 condition. TAKE THAT DECAY BEYOTCH
