Ok, I know you got problems. And since the devs don't seem to care **edit** about them, here's a few things you can do.


First off, rifleman suck in city fights, get used to it. You have to be sneaky. Also their is a good combo I think you should know about... surprisingly enough not many people use it. You equip a very fast spray stick, damage doesn't matter. You flurry shot, then posture down. Now if your opponent tries to move, they are screwed for the rest of th

There is also a unique pvp exploit I discovered... dizzy seems to stack, so spam off a few flurries and they wil not be getting up any time soon, then pound them with a t21 mind bleed and watch them squirm on the ground. So you see.... rifleman may suck, but we don't TOTALLY suck.

Don't say rifleman suck in PvP when you arn't anywhere close to master. Firstly go buy a pre-nerf t21 before you hit master or around master level. I say this because when your very advanced in the ways of a rifle you can shoot a t21 about every second... thats like 100-300 dmg mind shots in PvP, every second, I can't thiink of any Muon gold which would even stand close to that power, and people can't heal mind, so we are EXTREMELY powerful, you just need patience.


Secondly your technique is a "rifleman's knockdown" and is well known. I'm not to sure bout the dizziness stacking though..... Usually when you get them knocked-down they won't get up for a good 20 seconds, because when they try to get up dizzy gets them and they get knocked-down for another good 10-20 seconds, only to have it happene again, that usually happens with me at one flurry shot, but I'm not to sure...

a couple questions


1. Flurry shot 1 or 2?


2. What move does posture down?

the original poster is not a rifleman. or a newbie at best.


biggest problem i face in PvP is geting one shotted, not dishing out dmg. and i guarantee you i can take you out faster with my laser or T21 then the spraystick and that silly combo. without moving at all.


i will PvP again when they implement it properly where some tactics and healing are actually viable, not just geting one shotted.


when you get one shot killed, your pets dont matter, tactics dont matter, my entire lines of medical skilsl dont matter, nothing you can do except respawn.

nothing better than pulling your spraystick and spamming mindshot 2 while randomly switching targets. I got killed with ease after getting off 5! of these shots. I came out of the cloning center and there were 4 incapped bodies on the ground (one wassome kind ofmedic and firstaided themself). Needless to say, i got db'd once, but I got 4 dbs on them. Ha the good ol days, dont even know if thisll work now that revenge tef is gone but man, you shoulda heard the commando bitching!

the think i like to do in pvp is to mindshot 2 then mind shot 1 and run like a mad man while just blastin away normally. If i get a decent start on them i might even headshot them(not often does this happen). Its fun watching the double bleed on them go. Most people drop pretty quickly after that so all you have to do is run and make yourself hard to hit.


Im not even amaster yet and i usally win about 60 percent of my duels.

I usally use mind shot 2 then mind shot 1 as both of these stack. If i get a good start i might even headshot them also. Then all you have to do is run and blast away normally. They usally dont last too long after that.

still not that bad in a city fight.


you can usally keep distance for a while. and if they close switch to a differnt weapon for close in support.
