Rifleman Archive

One of the problems with Master Rifleman is that you don't need those "little hints and tips". Just pull out your T21 and start squeezing off shots. Most of the time I don't even bother to go prone at 60m anymore, much less Take Cover. Hunting has become more of a routine than a challenge now at Master. I took out a nest of Ancient Bull Rancors the other night near the Village without breaking a sweat.

BUT.... before all of you rifleman jump my case, let me finish....

I'm NOT advocating a Nerf in any way shape or form... I'm one who believes ALL PROFESSIONS need rebalancing and am eagerly awaiting the upcoming combat rebalance.

Also... There ARE challenges for MR, they are just harder to find. Certain Nightsisters, Krayts, etc.

PvP may be a good challenge (I never got into it much).

But if you're asking about hunting MOBs, then, unfortunately, forget about tactics except on really high-level stuff.

By the way... something interesting... Head Shots dont work on a lair. You know of course if you hit the lair that any animals associated with the lair will come after you. Avoid the AOE shots (SS2, FS2, etc.) if you dont want other animals to hate you also. Flurry Shot1 maybe? Flushing Shot1?

Also, be aware of your rifle's damage types and resists of your targets.

Hi guys!

Im a new Master Rifleman, and boy the difference you get with Master is incredible - i luv it!

Anyways - im looking for a few hints and tips on wot specials to use in what situation. Im very happy with Strafe and Head shot - but im looking for those little tricks, for example how to best use takecover, which is the best special to use to kill a lair quickly, whats the best shot i can use to attack a lair without hitting things around me (i had a situation yesterday where i wanted to kill a lair quickly but didnt want to hit any of the surrounding critters). Does Mind Shot have a place? Which different situations would u use Strafe, Startle, Flurry and Flushing?

Hope some of you veterans can help? I made it to Master and i intend to stay Master for a long while , so i want to get better at it.

Many thanks in advance
