1. Where do we loot rifles?
I have heard geo caves and rancors/nightsisters... anywhere else?
2. Can we solo a krayt?
I understand if the conceal breaks we are goners, but juvi's shouldnt be to hard... I havent seen them spawning for awhile though..
Any help here? Tapes? etc. etc.

1.Yeah, those are the places that I have heard as well. As for actually looting one myself, well, I'm still trying.
2. I'm not so sure on this, but if we're on at thesame time, we'll find outif we can solo them together, bro 
This is Aaron, btw

Pretty much correct- they generally drop the best rifles- all npc's drop rifles once and a while but not the best. You can also try krayts as they also drop wierd stuff on occassion. You also get the berserker rifle from the Corvette and the lithanium rifle from the bestine election militant win.

No need for conceal on Juvi's - strafe 2 and a nice t-21 with powerups and some terrain negotiation and you should be able to do juvies without conceal shot. bigger krayts take time but even then you can do them without conceal shot.
OTOH as a novice you can attempt to take them down with conceal shot - this takes a long time and if you land a bleed.... run!
Any help here? Tapes? etc. etc.

This is about it. The 'best' ones tend to drop from NSs(and the occasional krayt dragon), but the odds of you looting one are so slim that it's best to save up your credits to buy it when someone else loots itAs for the Geonosian dungeon, just camp the one of the Crazed Geonosian spawns or the Mercenary room. It shouldn't take too long before you start looting tons of cubes and DXR-6bs. The looted DXRs can be pretty sad compared to crafted ones, but almost all of the ones I have looted were better in at least one area(HAM cost, speed, damage, DoT, etc...). After some time, you should get lucky enough toloot one or two that are nearly (Exceptional)
2. Can we solo a krayt? Yes
I understand if the conceal breaks we are goners, but juvi's shouldnt be to hard... I havent seen them spawning for awhile though.. Doctor will allow you to solo about anything if you dont have plans for the rest of your skill points. Some people even find a balance between Doctor and CM(in addition to MR
Any help here? Tapes? etc. etc. Get yourself +7 in rifle speed tapes to reach the 1 second speed cap with a T-21 firing SS2. Or wait until the FS ranged speed is fixed and get that if you don't feel like spending the credits on tapes.

1. What everyone else said, but wanted to add that tusken rifles can be pretty nice sometimes - some decent mind fire rifles, exceptional damage (1000+) etc have come out of the fort.
2. Up to Canyon krayts if you have novice medic and novice brawler you can tank with just riflemen no problem - intimidate, headshot3 or strafeshot2, stim any damage away. Above canyons you probably will have a problem with your mind even withmind buffs,2 brandies and ahrisa/canape, but you can always go forkiting or concealshot whichboth work very well.
