Rifleman Archive

I'm wondering how a rifleman is supposed to do anything in a galaxy where no one targets the mind pool. I perosnaly think the devs made a mistake when they had the three main combat types each target different pools. Whenever I do anything in a group im near useless because no one ever targets the mind pool. Is it just me? Do any good riflemen have any advice for me?

well normal attacks hit random pools. Also, a group of multiple rifleman and a few pets are very powerfull

I went up to Couter-Sniping III and got Flushing Shot2. Now I never use HS2-3. Flushing Shot2 does 4x and is AoE.

Doing 3k damage in a group do get you somewhere.

ya now with Flushingshot II I often get more XP than commando's and take no hits cause they are about 15 m away to shoot the mark, I'm 60m the mark usually targets them, so they hit it 2 times for 3000 then run and die where as I'm back at 60m using Flushing II and laughing...... granted till you get Flushing II your useless in a group but after its great!

But I still prefer to Solo cause with my dewback I can easily pick up 20000k xp in about10 mins worth of time or less....

Think sniper. They work alone

Well I went hunting with 2 melee ppl and I can provide good cover and support for them. It actualyl worked and I was having a blast. They charge in, do there stuff and I sit back and bleed and damage there mind's, works good and if extra creatures come by to overwhelm them I target teh new foe and Warngshot1 them away until the can finish the current target.

I still hate the 2.5x dam

Flushingshot2 does insane damage.....you might not be able to target the specific pool, but usually if either the health or action pools are halfway down, this shot will be the closer. Just be prepared for the rest of your group to turn in your direction and ask "What the hell was that?!?"

"Think sniper. They work alone"

No they dont... besides, try to focus on the critters no one is shooting at if there is more then one around, and bleed and attack its head, you might actually be able to take one down alone... as long as it doesnt attack you of course, then just drop your rifle and run.

Thanks for the tips, I guess I need to get flushing shot.
