Thread: Riflemen tips/tricks ??
For PvE conceal shot and a good damage sliced laser rifle does the trick. T21 gives no big bonus unless the creature has some form or armor. No armor=laser rifle Armor=T21 If the creature charges you'll have to decide if you want to use headshot2 or strafe1.
For PvP a spraystick is your best starting rifle. You're not looking for damage but rather to be able to spam dizzy till it lands then /suppressionfire1 which is a posture down. When the get back up the go into a falling down death loop. Feel free to pull out your rifle of choice at this point and headshot till the sun goes down....or until the dizzy effect wears off. This is great vs. any melee.
In order to work up your combat experience faster go buy yourself a factory crate or two of C12 grenades. Powered up they do about 1k damage and have an area effect. You're not going for damage though. You see grenades only give combat experience and nothing more. Using a standard grenade gives me about 200-300 extra experience per throw. The more damage you do with them the more combat experience you get. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend using these unless you're in a group or the mob is chasing you since it will give away your position while sniping. I'd do nasty things for the devs if they let us use imperial detonators or proton grenades. Seriously, they are worth the money.
