Can anyone help me out? I'm wanting to know what the quickest way to Rifleman master is starting w/ the skills 2,2,2,2. I'm a casual gamer, play 2 or 3 times a week for 2 or 3 hrs(ish).
I've been working on Rifleman for about 2 months now, not including the month my comp was down. I assume I'm not hunting the right critters because I here ppl talk about mastering in a few days, yes I realize those are the hard core gamers, but they obviously know something I don't.
If anyone can shed some light on the subject it would be greatly appreciated! thanks!!
Hardcore gamer here. Took me about 2 and a half days from novice ( I.E = had novice box ) to master. How I did it.
Prevous post was correct. For working riflemen, maxed Combat XP before starting is a highly effiecent way to begin. 3 boxes in speed right after training novice riflemen is a huge help.
Get to know an entertainer. Doc buffs are easy enough, but entertainer buffs are harder. I only say this becuase now with pub9 changes, your going to 3want them. Reason : armor delay. Even with EITHER 2 brandy OR entertainer buffs in you, a normal set of hunting composite will still eat about 41 mind a shot. When trying to be as fast and effeicent as possible, this cuases downtime to regen. With entertainer buffs AND 2 brandy in you, your set.
Location : Dantooine.
Start on : Quankers. NOT anything harder. These guys have a mission payout of about 5000 - 5200 credits. Get yoursself in the largest solo group you can. The less baby and more pops per lair the better.
Although you have skills already I will tell you how I did it.
2,0,0,? first
(? = whenever you can )
then 2,4,0,?,
2,4,2,?
3,4,2,?
3,4,3,?
4,4,3,?
4,4,4,?
Master
At some point in that you will notice quankers drop from 3k + xp to 2k + xp each. Now its time to pull Huurton huntress missions. These guys are harder but you can still do them with decent hunting armor and ent/doc/brandy buffs. They also give more XP then the quankers.
BEWARE ofSavage Quankers and Quanker Relic Reapers. Savage quankers will eat through your amor and are not as time/XP effecient as normal ones. Relic Reapers will poison you, and have been known to dizzy/posturedown. If you see one of these, you pulled the wrong type. Back off.
Way to do them. Start by going prone and HS3'ing them. Dont worry about mind bleed, there is no reason. There might be however if your not up to at least box3 in speed. Dunno. When ( and if heh ) they get to you, dont panic shot kneel and shoot. You will be fine and thier xp is nuts . .
6 per pop at 3 times pop lair quankers = Apprx. 60k rifle XP per lair ( before thier XP drops )
With huurton Huntesses = Approx. 85k+ rifle XP per lair.
Hope this helps.
P.S = please forgive any typos in my post. Just woke up and was trying to be nice, but the coffee isint even halfway gone yet heh.
