Ok, so I just mastered Rifleman and was wondering what is the best way to make money as a rifleman. Should I go to a certain planet and run missions, or is there a better way?


Also, I need some help on rifles. I am planning on using the 3 basic ones, T-21, Laser Rifle, and a Jawa Ion Rifle. What are some useable, better than average, stats for the three (along with some prices)? When do I use each of them, PvP, PvE?


Thank you in advance.

The money... Enraged rancors on Dathomir... Good DXR6-B and HS3 Yay.

The rifles... I only use the dxr6-b,jawa and T-21.

Forget the laser, go for a T21 for "normal" enemies, that heavy armourpiercing shreds most enemies to bits. (175-350 or something base damage, right?) I usually buy a bunch of them and hope for a good damage slice, a final (after slice)max damage of over 500 is nice to have around.

The DXR6B is good to have as backup when you meet something with high energy resists (and low acid, duuh). Mycurrent oneis470-ish damage after slice.

And the Jawa is ofcourse the pvp king. Can't remember stats now.


For money you have a few options (some of them here):

Hunt enraged rancors on dath for those 37-38k payout missions. (boring)

Concealshoot elder nightsisters with your T21 and hope for some good loot you can auction.

Hunt krayts, againfor good loot you can auction. Juveniles are pretty easy to drop, you can tank those with some high kinetic resist armor.

You could also go Master Ranger for the organic harvesting. Some Docs will pay up to 100 cpu or more for herb meat.... not to mention the hides you can sell... or the bone etc.


I usually use the T21 sliced for damage. I use a speed sliced Laser Rifle or Spraystick to take out the lairs.

If you just want to make cash easily, go join a solo group on dantooine for janta missions. 30K for 4 jantas that takes about 90 seconds to kill total. Run those for 3 hours and see how much you banked.

T-21 / Geo Rifle for the mobs and Jawa for pvp....stats for a non-krayt jawa are 306 max damage with a 35% damage slice. Add a nice powerup and your at over 400 like mine.

huntin.....you can make 200k a day doing easy 8k gurk missions even....and the easiest cash i ever had was on lok aswell...group up AND do 17k pirate missions....literally as TKM i can unarmed spam my way through about 15 of em in an hour, 15 multiplied by 17000 is 255000 and do that for another few hours after master ( thats what i plan to do when i master rifleman to go with my TKM) you'll be a millionaire and able to buy whatever for PVP.

Get into a large solo group, and head to dath.


Get 2 enraged rancor missions, 36-40k each.


Go to the mission, strafe2 the lair till dead, and jump on your bike before the rancors get there, and speed off to the next mission


Repeat.


My friend clocked it at 2 missions in 7 minutes, but i think that included killing and looting all the rancors. If you just want the cash bust the lair and run to the next one. Quickest, easiest cash around for a rifleman.

well, this is not the way you should take at least 31k missions (in my case, 44k [slicing 1]).


anyway, for a lot more cash then this (you def cant buy anything you want for pvp this way) follow the advice in this thread.
